High compression is now acheived by using superchargers or turbos.So they can build a lower compression engine then blow air into it.

That's interesting and heres the difference: In an auto-ignition diesel engine, (no electrical sparking plug—the hot air of compression lights the injected fuel) the CR will customarily exceed 14:1. Ratios over 22:1 are common. The appropriate compression ratio depends on the design of the cylinder head. The figure is usually between 14:1 and 16:1 for direct injection engines and between 18:1 and 23:1 for indirect injection engines. I wonder though what difference would that make? Would the fuel ignite more eficiently at a higher compression compared to low? Would the ignition temperature be higher the higher the compression or is it just a design issue.......... /KJ. 2010/12/29 briankk <briankk@att.net> FWIW, the Cummins has 16:1 compression, I think the 240 is 21:1...
