It's not going to affect how the car revs.  It's just not.
This is where the argument begun.

It will and its power and temps and the fuel you use.

All of wich you know but had to say the above instead of acuratley showing me how the balance of pressure is the same at different volumes vs C/R to enable the pistons accelleration to not change.

As i said how fast can the motor be spun by hand?
... lower the compression to suit and its faster..or raise the power to suit and its faster.

Thanks for a detailed reply but im not arguing wich is better as its my personal prefference for me and yours for you.

Would be lovely to run e85 cept its not viable cost wise for on road high k use yet.
Still wrong.  For every extra bit of compression working against the piston on the compression stroke, you have more power than that working against another piston on the power stroke.
What did i say wrong exactly?

"That more pressure will slow the compression stroke and cause more heat"

I did state i wasnt talking power stroke. because then power comes to play and volume is more effective for power.
The power vs resistance factor is now at play.
Wich then all comes down to air flow and fueling.

You cant take your turbo off and increase the C/R to make up for it unless you had superman fuel.
Do you see what im saying yet?

Because it is not relevant.  Just because the higher CR makes it harder for you to spin it by hand, it does not mean that the piston motion will be made slowed when the motor is running and having to work to compress to a higher ratio.  That is because the compression is being powered by power that results from the extra compression in other cylinders, and there is more of that than is required to to drive the compression event.  You can't just take part of the engine cycle out of context of the other parts, say something about it is true (when it is true only in isolation, but not true when put back into context) and then go on to draw conclusions about how the motor will run.

Your close but still not getting it.

If we add the cycle it works in favour of boost and low C/R according to fuel type.
You cant just say that basic physics doesnt exist...just because it can be hard to understand the exacts.

The explosive force of the extra air is mor than that of compressed with the fuels we use. And the motor has less resistance.

inevitably robs you of rpm speed in higer rpm as the engine has to work harder where if its lower comp it puts more of the work on the turbo allowing the piston to move quicker as extra compression is pre done as boost.

This is where the nonsense is.  The engine will rev according to how much power it is making vs the load applied to it.  If you are still maintaining that higher compression will make the engine rev more slowly, then we still have a problem.

Wow , all I can say is calculators don't build engines for manufacturers or race teams .

There are some very simplistic ideas being promoted here based on guestimations being pushed as fact .

All I can say is that very few engine are ever anything like 100% volumetrically efficient and trying to add a bar of pressure to a compression ratio is hmm - maybe optimistic . Way too many factors shoot that one down in a screaming heap .

My take is that detonation is a factor of heat and pressure , whatever starts an unplanned combustion event .

With static compression ratios , many things have run very high ratios but it is hard to argue that it slows down the way an engine revs . If you don't think so go search for some data on compression pressures vs combustion pressures .

Fact . What higher static compression ratios do for you is increase the dynamic or actual compression ratio at less than full throttle . ANY restriction in an inlet tract will limit how much air a cylinder can inhale and if it aint full when the valves are ALL closed good luck getting the measured or "static" compression ratio .

Then you can throw in hot cams that open inlets earlier and close exhausts later , and generally increase the overlap valve timing , and you start loosing trapping efficiency . The less there is to compress means you get a lower dynamic or effective CR . Hot cams are designed to allow an engine to rev higher , to make more power at higher revs .

Don't ever lose sight of the fact that all you have to charge an NA engines cylinders is atmospheric pressure - period . Real word an engine CANNOT suck air in , all it can do is create an area of lower than atmospheric pressure into which the greater 1 bar at sea level can push itself into .

Lol. No but it isnt as good at it as boost.

 

With boost and our fuels we are limited by materials to certain C/R. And it is easier to achieve a speedy motor by sacrificing C/R instead of boost on a boosted motor.

 

 

Sacrificing CR is a way of saying no we haven't found a workable method of stopping our forced lump from detonating .

I'm not sure what range of compression ratios you talking about and I sense that you are not very aware of what factors affect measured CR  .  

Slap, this makes no sense. your posts are a mix of sensible helpful statements, confusing bits, and complete nonsense. 

This for example.

Also back to piston speed...i should clarify i dont mean rpm or max velocity and enertia. I mean piston acceleration speed during compression stroke wich would be different from bottom to top depending on pressure.

if the rpm is the same how on earth can the piston accelerate or decelerate differently with a different compression ratio? the factors deciding piston speed are RPM, stroke, rod length. not compression. not possible.

I'll handle this one Ben.  The answer is compressible conrods.

Rpm acceleration ben. Not all cars hit 8k the same speed.

The faster the piston can accelerate the quiker it can get to set redline.

 

I know im confusing and i dont mean to be but sometimes i feel like i have to defend myself before i can clarify and end up confused where your at only to go there and bring it back home in an evolving argument for you to see what im on about.

You are confusing rotating and reciprocating mass.

nevertheless the speed at which an engine can increase in revs when it matters, ie accelerating a car, is really dependent on how powerful the engine is, (keeping gear ratio, car weight the same)

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
