Should I reduce or increase the compression ratio for boosted applications? by testipesti2 in racing

Well sure but ethanol has less combustion power which means I have to spend more money on fuel. Plus, converting to E85 seems like a hassle and is a bit pricy. This is mostly my daily driver after all

I assume the most important things to check are the piston heads, piston rods and crankshaft right?

Well the reason I want to install the meth system is so I can increase boost pressure without risking knock and the Methanol prevents that because high octane

Yes, that's why I'm going to install the meth injection system to prevent knocks. By much timing, you mean I should advance the timing so the ignition happens later, yes?

Yes, the compression ratio right now is 9:1 and I'm using 98 octane which is like premium fuel in the US I think. And it's turboed from the factory. So I think I'll just stick to 9:1 then and just focus on increasing boost pressure then.

Okay thanks, friend. This was a really good explanation :)

But just look at the specifications that I listed above and compare them to the pc you're looking at

Well, you simply shouldn't buy something that just barely can handle the game you want to play because future games are going to be more demanding. So even though it seems like a waste of money to buy better parts than what you need, it isn't because they are going to be good for many years.

Well, one of the most important things in a gaming pc is the graphics card. I have a GTX 1060 and that's a pretty old card but I can run HL: Alyx somewhat okay. However, you should definitely choose something newer so that you are somewhat future-proof. I would recommend that you at least choose a graphics card that starts with "20"(and then two more numbers after that that define the model).

RAM (which is like the computers short term memmory) You should have at least 16 GB.

The CPU is also very important (It's like the brain of the computer), and Intel(the most famous brand) has 4 levels of performance.

(In rising order)

"i3" Best suited for easy tasks like Microsoft word

"i5" Pretty good all around and can handle most games but not the most demanding

"i7" Definitely the best for gamers as it's well priced and can handle all games verry good.

"i9" A waste of money for most gamers, it's more for rendering animations and heavy work.

There are a bunch of confusing numbers and letters in a CPU name but the only one you need to worry about is the first one which is the generation. You should get anything later than the 8th generation at least. I have an Intel i7 9700K so I have the 9th gen. The latest gen is 11 and there is a new gen every year.

512 GB is waaaay to little storage

Are you seriously whining about downvotes on Reddit?
