Best Answer

if you make the combustion chamber smaller for example by shaving the heads when the sparkplugs ignites , the piston will get pushed down harder there for make your engine go faster .

In short, reducing the combustion chamber size increases the combustion ratio which increasing the explosive force of the air fuel mixture when it burns. The negative side of this is fuel with a higher octane rating will have to be used to run the engine.

How many cylinders in an formula one engine?

The 2010 and 2011 F1 cars have 8 cylinders in their engine. They are called V8 engines. They are naturally aspirated (no turbo charging) and they are 2.4 litres in size. They are limited to 19000 rpm in order to increase engine reliability and to avoid engine accidents during races.


Calculate the accelaration of car by its engine power in cc and force applied by it?

One cannot "Calculate the accelaration of a car by its engine power in cc" and hence derive the "force applied by it" because, depending on the configuration of the engine varying amounts of horsepower (ie engine power) can be obtained from the same size engine. One would have to have a known amount of "engine power" to apply the "F=ME" formula and from there calculate the acceleration possibilities.

What Nazi concentration camp in Poland was equipped with gas chambers?

Auschwitz. The first gas chamber used in September 1941 was just a prison cell which was made air-tight. After this they converted the mortuary into a gas chamber, for greater capacity and convenience (as it was in the same building as the crematorium). The next winter the first purpose built gas chambers were constructed.

How do you reduce compression of a small engine?

To reduce compression in an internal combustion engine you should change the standard pistons for a more flatter piston, which will increase the combustion chamber size, some people also change the standard head gasket for a slightly thicker one.


What is the job of a cylinder head?

A cylinder head directs air/fuel into the cylinder and seals off the top of the cylinder. By controlling the size and shape of the runners and size/number of valves can makes the cylinder better suited for a certain power/displacement range. Bigger isn't always better as too large of a runner can reduce low-end hp/tq due to low velocity of the air/fuel mixture. The cylinder head's combustion chamber is a major part of the engine's compression ratio which has a large effect on engine efficiency, torque/hp and fuel octane requirement.


What is the valve size in your set of heads?

Depends on the heads. The size is different for the exhaust valve and the intake valve, and different engines have different size valves. The valves are mechanical devices in the engine heads that open and close. The intake valve opens to let the air/gas mixture into the combustion chamber,. Both valves close the combustion chamber during the compression stroke, and the exhaust valve opens to let the burnt gas out during the exhaust stroke.
