Has anyone tried super squish pistons? Options

[Jeff Nelson]

I can't seem to find anyone who has used the squishies in a type 4. There have been numerous type 1 applications. I know that Jake tried them without much success but that sounds like it was a cam related issue.

One big thing that keeps the type 4 from being a modern 2-valve pushrod engine is the chamber design. It would seem that the super squish piston, if it works as advertised, would address that. I'd love to have an engine that runs on 87 octane California gas but reliably makes 1HP per cubic inch in a daily driver.

In theory it could work for the T4 but it would require developemental work that no one here is interested in proving. I am out of T4s because of the limitations. I really want to build a 2.0 Honda motor for my street car. I figure I can get close to 300 NA. They are such strong motors. Too bad they drive the wrong wheels. I wouldn't mind playing with an Ariel Atom though.

I my self am not into the "purity" of aircooled engines so I will put something in a little more technologically advanced. Can anyone say Nuclear Turbine engine. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/aktion035.gif)
