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.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) ... you need to check your math! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

How could a 2.0 T4 at 8.5:1 be only 85 HP, when the stock USA version GA 2.0 at 7.6:1 was 91/95 HP (SAE/DIN methods) & the Euro at 8.0:1 was 100 HP!!??

Check with Ron at FAT Performance in Orange....IIRC he does them at 10 & 10.5 with single plug & 145-185 HP, as does Jake Raby & probably Chris at Tangerine too! They change the intake & exhaust breathing, carb/FI delivery, etc. too, in order to get there of course.

So I don't see why you couldn't.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
