Leebo3 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 Does anyone know what the compression ratio for a 1600 escort engine with 1300 pistons is? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atropine Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 10.3:1 i believe.. well it depends on "1300 pistons", as there are 1300LC, 1300HC, and 1300GT.. the lowcomp pistons in a 1600 is 9.5:!, highcomp generates 10.3:1, and gt brings 11:1. source: http://spannerfodder.com/the_works_escorts-xflow.php bottom of the page Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atropine Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 the horsepower chart on that site for the xflow shouldnt be trusted though... aparently adding sideys lowers hp and torque.. kinda strange.. wouldnt think it true anyhow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SYKOV6 Posted July 5, 2005 Share Posted July 5, 2005 just watch going past 10-1 comp on pump gas the corty has 10.5 -1 and its a pig on 96 not too bad on 98 best on avgas or 98 with nulon octane boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
