The shape of the combustion chamber cannot be altered on a running engine. Although some prototypes have been built that challenge conventional design, they have never - even in the automotive industry - been commercially produced. Maximum cylinder pressure however is a variable that directly influences the engine’s performance and efficiency. Fuel injection systems are continuously being developed in order to reach optimum fuel ratios at different engine load points. Furthermore, there i....
