GB 801-CR |
Compression ratios vs. the gas octane and the air cooled VW engine. Also, simple to follow formulas to calculate needed octane of today's fuel for specific compression ratios that allow the engine to run cool and live its normal longevity. Some of this was previously printed in my price sheets back in the late 70's when the (oil embargo started) octane was lowered and lead started to be removed from 4 grams per gallon down to .1 (tenth) or none per gallon as it is today. |

GB 801-GEAR |
Information about gearing your car. How to calculate ratios with formulas, sample charts, blank graph chart for you to Xerox and make your own graphs. Shows RPM vs. speeds and what effect it has on engines under a specific usage. Closely related to cooling of the engine as engine RPM determines fan speed, which provides proper cooling of the engine. Do not be fooled into installing gears taller (more overdrive see GB 801-GEAR and GB 801-COOLING) than stock as they reduce fan speed and cooling, plus take more power to drive the car. Further, it reduces the mileage and increases temperature. |
