The more boost you use the lower compression you want. Higher compression with boost leads to detonation which leads to excess engine wear and damage.

Will supreme unleaded gas hurt your 2004 Subaru outback's engine?

High octane gas will not hurt your Subaru's motor but will offer little to no advantage over the regular grade gas that the manufacturure recommends. High octane fuels resist detonation better then regular octane fuel, this is required in high performance high compression engines like the Suburu STI turbo motor, your car has the regular compression non-turbo motor so save your money and just get the regular grades. Detonation- When the fuel ignites and explodes before the spark plug fires, causes knocking sounds and can hurt the motor. Compression- the squeeze force in the combustion chamber, the higher the compression the greater the heat and the higher the risk that the fuel will detonate unless a higher octane fuel is used. Diesel engines use high compression alone to ignite the fuel mixture hence they have no need for spark plugs but require diesel fuel rather than gasoline.


What is the difference between Mercedes 1979 280ce m110 motor and a Mercedes 1984 280ge m110 motor?

Internal differences: the GE motor have lower compression ratio so that it can use 95 octane fuel, 156 horsepower. The CE motor is high compression and uses 98 octane fuel, 185 hp (euro spec. engine) Low comp engine has got flat top pistons Externally the differences are vicible with the GE engine beeing "waterproofed" and has a different oil pan. Interchanging engines between cars should be possible if you are a skilled "home mechanic" Internal differences: the GE motor have lower compression ratio so that it can use 95 octane fuel, 156 horsepower.

What would be the results for a compression test on a 350 Chevy small block?

Anywhere from, say 80, to 180lbs. What you are looking for, really, is a difference. One that is 30, to 40 lbs., lower. A good small block, with half life left, should come in around 120. A new motor, 150, a high compression race motor, 160, to 180. Anything below, say 80, may require attention, soon.
