It's not going to affect how the car revs.  It's just not.
This is where the argument begun.

It will and its power and temps and the fuel you use.

All of wich you know but had to say the above instead of acuratley showing me how the balance of pressure is the same at different volumes vs C/R to enable the pistons accelleration to not change.

As i said how fast can the motor be spun by hand?
... lower the compression to suit and its faster..or raise the power to suit and its faster.

Thanks for a detailed reply but im not arguing wich is better as its my personal prefference for me and yours for you.

Would be lovely to run e85 cept its not viable cost wise for on road high k use yet.
Still wrong.  For every extra bit of compression working against the piston on the compression stroke, you have more power than that working against another piston on the power stroke.
What did i say wrong exactly?

"That more pressure will slow the compression stroke and cause more heat"

I did state i wasnt talking power stroke. because then power comes to play and volume is more effective for power.
The power vs resistance factor is now at play.
Wich then all comes down to air flow and fueling.

You cant take your turbo off and increase the C/R to make up for it unless you had superman fuel.
Do you see what im saying yet?

Because it is not relevant.  Just because the higher CR makes it harder for you to spin it by hand, it does not mean that the piston motion will be made slowed when the motor is running and having to work to compress to a higher ratio.  That is because the compression is being powered by power that results from the extra compression in other cylinders, and there is more of that than is required to to drive the compression event.  You can't just take part of the engine cycle out of context of the other parts, say something about it is true (when it is true only in isolation, but not true when put back into context) and then go on to draw conclusions about how the motor will run.

Your close but still not getting it.

If we add the cycle it works in favour of boost and low C/R according to fuel type.
You cant just say that basic physics doesnt exist...just because it can be hard to understand the exacts.

The explosive force of the extra air is mor than that of compressed with the fuels we use. And the motor has less resistance.

inevitably robs you of rpm speed in higer rpm as the engine has to work harder where if its lower comp it puts more of the work on the turbo allowing the piston to move quicker as extra compression is pre done as boost.

This is where the nonsense is.  The engine will rev according to how much power it is making vs the load applied to it.  If you are still maintaining that higher compression will make the engine rev more slowly, then we still have a problem.

Wow , all I can say is calculators don't build engines for manufacturers or race teams .

There are some very simplistic ideas being promoted here based on guestimations being pushed as fact .

All I can say is that very few engine are ever anything like 100% volumetrically efficient and trying to add a bar of pressure to a compression ratio is hmm - maybe optimistic . Way too many factors shoot that one down in a screaming heap .

My take is that detonation is a factor of heat and pressure , whatever starts an unplanned combustion event .

With static compression ratios , many things have run very high ratios but it is hard to argue that it slows down the way an engine revs . If you don't think so go search for some data on compression pressures vs combustion pressures .

Fact . What higher static compression ratios do for you is increase the dynamic or actual compression ratio at less than full throttle . ANY restriction in an inlet tract will limit how much air a cylinder can inhale and if it aint full when the valves are ALL closed good luck getting the measured or "static" compression ratio .

Then you can throw in hot cams that open inlets earlier and close exhausts later , and generally increase the overlap valve timing , and you start loosing trapping efficiency . The less there is to compress means you get a lower dynamic or effective CR . Hot cams are designed to allow an engine to rev higher , to make more power at higher revs .

Don't ever lose sight of the fact that all you have to charge an NA engines cylinders is atmospheric pressure - period . Real word an engine CANNOT suck air in , all it can do is create an area of lower than atmospheric pressure into which the greater 1 bar at sea level can push itself into .

Lol. No but it isnt as good at it as boost.

 

With boost and our fuels we are limited by materials to certain C/R. And it is easier to achieve a speedy motor by sacrificing C/R instead of boost on a boosted motor.

Up Boost!
Not C/R!

Yuh, because a bleeder is 11ty times easier than new pistons.  If I was building my Neo right now, I would be putting in higher comp pistons and you could not convince me to do otherwise.

Sacrificing CR is a way of saying no we haven't found a workable method of stopping our forced lump from detonating .

I'm not sure what range of compression ratios you talking about and I sense that you are not very aware of what factors affect measured CR  .  

Slap, this makes no sense. your posts are a mix of sensible helpful statements, confusing bits, and complete nonsense. 

This for example.

Also back to piston speed...i should clarify i dont mean rpm or max velocity and enertia. I mean piston acceleration speed during compression stroke wich would be different from bottom to top depending on pressure.

if the rpm is the same how on earth can the piston accelerate or decelerate differently with a different compression ratio? the factors deciding piston speed are RPM, stroke, rod length. not compression. not possible.

I'll handle this one Ben.  The answer is compressible conrods.

Rpm acceleration ben. Not all cars hit 8k the same speed.

The faster the piston can accelerate the quiker it can get to set redline.

 

I know im confusing and i dont mean to be but sometimes i feel like i have to defend myself before i can clarify and end up confused where your at only to go there and bring it back home in an evolving argument for you to see what im on about.

You are confusing rotating and reciprocating mass.

nevertheless the speed at which an engine can increase in revs when it matters, ie accelerating a car, is really dependent on how powerful the engine is, (keeping gear ratio, car weight the same)

    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
