[Audi20V_Kruemmer] FW: [s-cars] I don't understand lowering CR for boost

Thu Mar 11 12:39:47 EST 2004

I will my ignorance with my own observations.

There must be some magic number for compression ratio and boost pressure
for a motor with a gas, to yield the right egt's at X boost with optimum
advance, or more importantly I think the right cylinder pressure peak at
the right crank angle.  I believe that everything else, i.e. timing
related, knock and egt's are just an artifact of this.  So when tuning
and bracketing yourself around egt temps, and knock you are really
trying to infer optimum cylinder pressures at X crank angle ATDC..  So
it is possible I suspect that generically for a given set up you could
say you need a given CR to yield the right EGT's that would result from
an optimized timing and fuel map.  Free up the exhaust and you could
maybe up the CR and keep the same timing and fuel map and egt's. 

>From talking Mihnea, and working with him on chips, I have found and
been told of something with our turbo cars that puzzles me, less advance
=higher egt's, more advance =lower, to a point I suspect if you go far
enough either way both would reverse.  On an NA car from what I recall
more advance =higher egt's/cht's  less =less again to a piont.  To me
this makes sense higher combustion pressures from more advance = higher
egt's, so when you are tuning an NA car you can effectively either lean
out the mixture, advance the timing or put in a hotter plug and to
varied degree's you have a similar outcome.  I wonder that since we have
so little advance, around 20 deg that we are on the side where things
reverse, i.e. we always's have some degree of incomplete combustion, so
egt's are an artifact of the combustion cycle completeing outside the
motor, that way more advance means more complete combustion so less
external combustion so lower egt's?  any ideas. .  I guess this would
explain why turbo motors like so much fuel.

  I really should read up on this before I expose my ignorance to the
group

Well, Ok, this ought to expose my ignorance in trying to work
ass-backwards
to justify the faith / conventional wisdom for arguing on should
consider
dropping stock CR's slightly for added boosted engine performance.  What
do
you think of this approach:

                CR                MaxBoost           Effective CR (the
java
applets say)
Stock        9.3 to 1          20.0  psi   ~~~>  @ 21.95 to 1

I know everyone is/wants to run more, in fact a lot more than a paltry
20psi, but just for arguments sake, lets suppose the above represented
the
practically knock/no-knock limits of your fuel/motor.  Can one then
assume
that, to get to the same CR limit if you started off with, oh for
example,
an

               8.0 to 1          20.0 psi   ~~~>   @ 18.88 to 1
               8.0   "            25.6 psi   ~~~>    @ 21.93 to 1

So, with an 8.0 CR, and an assumed VE of say @ 85% "fill" and ignoring
for
the moment (lets say you just have an awesomely powerfully efficient
FMIC)
any significant temperature differences at the intake manifold in the
arriving 20psi in the 9.3 CR motor vs. temperature of the arriving 25.6
psi
for the 8 to 1 CR motor, then

in Case #1, for the 9.3 to 1 engine, you get to jam some 378 cc's (being
@
85% of a swept cylinder volume of 445 cc's) of 20 psi charge vs. Case
#2's
378 cc's of 25.6 psi air/fuel in the 8 to 1 motor.  Somewhere there's
got to
be a conversion for psi of air to mass or lbs/air, and assuming the
temperatures are roughly equivalent, there's got to be a lot more
combustible O2 in the 26psi air charge vs. the 20psi charge on a cc for
cc
basis.

Alternatively, one could play with and compare the Ray Hall boost applet
results at http://www.turbofast.com.au/TFcompB.html  which suggests that
to
run 20 psi of boost in a motor with a standard CR of 9.3 to one (81mm
bore,
86.4mm stroke & a VE of 85%) the applet suggests one should be using
118.4
octane gas.  With a standard CR of 8 to one, at 20 psi the octane
recommendation drops to 110 gas.  One has to push the boost up to 26+
psi in
the 8 to 1 Cr motor to get the anti detonation gas requirement back up
to
the 9.3 to 1 @ 20 psi's 118 recommendation.   Isn't 110 octane vs. 118
another way of looking at ignition advance?   So again, with the 8 to 1
CR
one gets to run an additional 6psi of boost vs. the stock 9.3 to 1 CR
motor.

So, assuming you get your chip map(s) adjusted to your revised base CR,
you
get to run a lot more boost, with perhaps a bit more advance to make up
for
power lost in off boost, naturally aspirated mode by dropping the
compression ratio?  My guess is the major re-mapping must be in the
ignition
timing area of the ECU's triumvirate, boost v. timing v fuel at
rpm/load? 

Minhea? 
Bob P.?
QShipQ? 
Anyone else got an opinion?
