Compression Ratio XJ750Turbo
Verfasst: Di Feb 07, 2023 5:21 pm
Hi All,
Following a comment from Axel on Facebook, here I will explain what I mean by the Compression Ratio from the normal 750 11M engine to the CR of the 11T engine. Initially I had used a foot and head gasket from Athena, because the original is bad or not available. The thickness of the gaskets are both 1.2mm. The standard thickness of the 750 base and head gasket are 0.3 and 0.9 mm respectively. The difference in thickness of the gaskets are: 2.4 - 1.1 = 1.3 mm. So the combustion chamber volume increases with the area of the cylinder with the 1.3 mm height. The stroke and bore dimensions are: 56.4 and 65 mm. The stroke volume is 3.13159x3.25^2x5.64=187.15. The CR 9.2:1 => 187.15:9.2=20.34 cc. With the 1.3mm enlargement of the packings, the volume above the piston increases by 0.13x3.14159x3.25^2=4.31cc. The new CR is now: 20.34+4.32=24.65cc => 187.15:24.65=7.59. So the new CR is many times lower than the 8.2:1. Since I still had to replace the base gasket because it burst open during the first assembly and after 2000 km the O-rings also failed. Am I going to replace the base gasket for an original, which I bought in Florida last year. The CR is now higher but does not exceed 8.2:1. The thickness differences in the base gasket are 0.9-0.2=0.7mm and the head gasket is 1.2-0.9=0.3mm. I won't do the calculation again, but the new CR will now be 7.9:1.
Cheers, Dirk
