Compression Ratios

Recommended Posts

mbayley77

Well as title really.

 

I have a GTI6 lump and want to get a new inlet cam but am thinking that I need to know what compression ratio I have so I can choose the correct stage of regrind etc.

 

The engine is essentially standard although it has been fully rebuilt (a long time a go now!!!) If my memory serves me correctly I think I got 220 PSI across all 4 cylinders when I done a compression test.

 

Anyone help?

 

Thanks

standard CR is 10.4:1 :D

Did the rebuild include a skim as that may give a very slight increase but nothing spectacular if it was just a basic 'reface' skim. 220 across the board is nice and healthy, was that on a stone cold engine just cranking with wide open throttle?

Yeah it was. Running twin 45's and am sure it was cranked with the throttles open.
