Does the octane rating effect the temperature within the the combustion chamber (given the same c/r) and how much?
Does higher octane fuel burn "slower" than low octane fuel?
All things being equal as far as tune goes are there ever any measurable power gains to be had by different octane...
I have been wondering about tranny power losses....wouldn't the loss be better defined as an actual number as opposed to a percentage.
Lets say motor X makes 100hp (at the crank) and looses 15hp with an auto and only 10hp with a manual. Now through the magic of the aftermarket the same engine...
I was just wondering how changing the rear axle gear ratio would effect dyno numbers-hp and torque if it would at all?
Thanks in advance for your "answers".
I work for a company that races and sells high performance motorcycle engine parts...here's a post I put up on one of the enthusiast boards when people started talking about wanting to raise the redline of their bikes from 5K to 6K or more. FYI the bike is Yamaha's Warrior an air cooled V-twin...
Thanks guys for the help with this one, but it's real hard to dispell my customers ideas that higher compression equals more heat (as well as more power) things like the following aren't helping things...you'd think NGK would be more careful about such "blanket statements.
From this web site...
Back to raising the compression ratio thing again..lol
Is there a "stock" guideline one would adhear to when raising the compression ratio (8.5:1 to 10.5:1) in regard to heat range and electrode gap?
Thanks again!
Given the same motor, same fuel (high enough octane to be compatible with the higher C/R) and different compression ratios (let's say one is 8.5:1 and the other is 10.5:1). Will there be any difference in exhaust gas temperature?
FYI- I just "found" this site, after reading about 10 pages of...
