you can run high compression motor with forced induction if you know what you are doing. the new eco boost ford is using 10:1. there are many others as well, but the main reason is to raise combustion temps to lower emission outputs. It is very doable if the tuning is on the money or you have a very...

I would go with a gt2871 very fast spool but still makes power up top. also if you are going to run the nitrous you need bigger injectors if running a dry system and turbo.

i wouldn't do it,the crank helps throw the oil around.If you knife edge its not going to kick as much up and you kinda of need oil to lubricate and cool down parts not true. crank scrapers and windage trays are designed to prevent just that. exess oil on the rotating assembly also throws off the ba...

simply put compression ratio is how much air can be compressed into the combustion chamber. This is just a example, but if your cylinder takes in 10L of air and then compress that air into the space of 1L your compression ratio would be 10 to 1.

you could try a compression test with a tablespoon of motor oil in each cyl, then if the numbers rise then your rings are shot if they stay the same then you are good there. Also did you have your throttle opened during your test, that can make it look like you have lower compression on your test.

I thought it was closed loop, preset parameters and that open loop used data from the sensors. i may be wrong though.
