A gasoline piston engine that can dynamically change its compression ratio —that is, the amount by which the piston squeezes the fuel-air mixture in the cylinder—has long been a holy grail of engine ...

Nissan’s variable-compression turbo (VC-Turbo) is a unique engine capable of variable compression adjustment. Unlike traditional engines, which have a fixed compression ratio, the VC-Turbo engine ...

Forget variable length intakes and variable valve timing, Infiniti is going all the way and introducing variable cylinder compression ratios. The new VC-T turbo engine automatically adjusts between a ...

Infiniti's new VC-T is groundbreaking in that it now offers an engine with a variable compression ratio, meaning it can be driven with fuel economy or horsepower in mind, giving the driver the option.

Formula 1’s next-generation power units are not even on the grid yet and they are already reshaping the competitive landscape. At the heart of the storm is a seemingly dry technical detail, the ...

The effects of compression ratio on brake thermal efficiency at full load as well as part load operating conditions typical of those encountered in the CAFE test procedure are important considerations ...

Despite the turbulence Nissan has faced over the past few years, some of its technology is undeniably impressive. Perhaps the crowning jewel of this engineering power is its variable compression ...

Nissan's Infiniti division will present its first Variable Compression-Turbocharged (VC-T) engine at the Paris Motor Show next month. This technology took them more than two decades to perfect, and ...

A refrigeration system’s compression or pressure ratio is defined as the absolute discharge pressure divided by the absolute suction pressure. Calculating this ratio can be a big help when it comes to ...

With every passing day the Mule provides opportunities beyond our original expectations. Since the 467ci engine belongs to HPP editor Tom DeMauro, it is at our beck and call. This affords HPP the ...
