I build 10.5:1 /6 engines pretty regularly. 93 octane and single plug. That's about the limit without going twin-plug, but all of them on the road have been fine.
Why don't I see this in Type 1 or Type 4 engines? Some rough math suggests a 2.0 @ 8.5:1 is an 85hp engine, while the same engine at 10.5:1 would give almost 120hp. Just thinking out loud..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |

I had a 10.5:1 engine in my street 914 for a couple years.
It was 103 x 66 (2200cc), had a 3/4 race cam (EMW J grind) and 44 IDFs. The heads were built for top end power, having 48mm intake and 38mm exhaust valves and ports to match. The engine made 180hp around 7000 rpm and was terrific on the track. I often ran it up to 7500 before shifting. Lack of bottom end torque made it a poor choice for a street car though. Pulling into traffic from a stop sign required sidestepping the clutch at 4500 rpm. I ran it on 93 octane except on the track, and sold it before ever needing to rebuild. |
