Conecting rod - pistons

Diameter and stroke. 79.5 * 79


Thank you VW racing UK for the set of pistons..

They are from a 1.9 cc VW diesel car (this produces 280bhp from a 1.9cc)
I will have the top skimmed and the rings modified to stop them rotating.

So with a final compression ration of 22 : 1 and with two turbo chargers in series.

 

If we assume that each turbo will give us 4 to 1 and they are in series

We will an inlet manifold pressure of 8 bar

 

So the piston compression ratio will be 22 – 8 = 16

 

So we are looking for a crank stroke that will give us 22 to 1

 

The combustion chamber has a volume of 25ml

 

So with a piston of ??

But if a stroke of 95.5 gives us 19:1 (from the VW spec)

 

(95.5/19) * 16 = 80.42 mm so say 80.5mm stroke length
