baldy Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 hi chaps write just had a headgasket done by leon. has any 1 got the intelligents to work out the compression ratio 4 me? the head had 11 tho skimmed off & he fitted a 2.0 mm gasket. im just curious to know if the compression ratio has changed much cheers baldy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Could you mix the units up any more? Need to know the stock bore size and the normal compressed head gasket thickness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldy Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 hi darren ok i beleave the bore is 86mm & the standard headgasket is 1.5 mm im told by mr green cheers simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 If I remembers right an inch is 25.4mm. So a thousandth of an inch is about 0.0254mm. If he skimmed 11 thou off that's just over 0.254mm right? If the stock gasket is 1.5mm and he's replaced it with 2.0mm then the compression ratio has gone down. (All that calcreating. I even had to take my socks off) Time to crack in some more air and fuel by my book then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldy Posted September 25, 2003 Author Share Posted September 25, 2003 cheers T but i want the ratio really. more feul n air means bigger injecters,hybrids,a big bill for parts, ummm i think i gona rob a bank:D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted September 25, 2003 Share Posted September 25, 2003 Right ho. If the bore is 86mm then the stroke must be 86mm (0.5 litre displacemnt per cylinder). If the stock CR is 8.5:1 then the compressed volume must be 66.61cc If you have lost 11 thou' (-0.2695mm) from the flame face, but gained 0.5mm on the gasket then the overall delta is +0.2305mm On an 86 bore (assuming the clearance diameter in the head gasket is the same as the bore - it is likely to be a bit bigger) then the volume gained is 1.34cc This makes the new compressed volume 67.95cc So your new CR is 8.35 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likes your thinking. Thing is we'll all end up argueing over who's going to be the getaway driver like.. Let me I've got the fastest car, No no let me I've seen getaway in stockholm the most. Truth is most of us probably can't drive for sh*te anyway. Just get a bigger fuel pump and then thrash the stock turbo's within an inch of their lives.

Thorin Posted September 26, 2003 Share Posted September 26, 2003 Remember that by running 1.4-1.5 on stock turbo's you are not just risking destroying your turbo's, you're also risking blowing up your engine as your EGT's will be sky high. Some people seem to think, so what? if I run 1.4 and kill the turbo's I'll get hybrids. They could be in for a very nasty suprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
