Which is better short stroke or Longstroke?

For any given cubic capacity, an over square engine has to move lesser as it has a wider bore. These engines also have lesser inertial stress which allows them to be equipped with faster valve timing. This lends a short stroke engine, in general, the ability to rev higher than its long stroke counterparts.

What happens if shocks are too long?

The other problem is that if the shock absorber that has been fitted to the vehicle is too long, in this case the vehicle suspension could experience the shock absorber “Bottoming out”. This term is used when the shock absorber is fully compressed, but the suspension still has an allowed amount of travel to go.

Does shock absorber affect height?

Bad shocks affect ride and handling, but they won’t change the ride height of the car. But since the height is the same on both sides of the same end of the car, it’s more likely that they’ve just worn out and need to be replaced.

How much travel should a shock absorber have?

The amount of shock travel needed depends on the type of suspension you are working with (solid axle, or independent) so it is best to consider wheel travel as well. Most street driven vehicles should have a minimum of 2.5-3” of compression travel at the wheel and 2-2.5” of rebound travel as a good rule of thumb.

Does a longer stroke mean more torque?

Instead, long-stroke engines produce higher torque at lower RPMs. For example, the Sportster produces 73.2 Nm of maximum torque at 3,750 RPM, while the Street Triple produces 78.6 Nm at 9,350 RPM. A longer-stroke cylinder usually has a narrower combustion chamber.

What is the advantage of long stroke engine?

Increased thermal efficiency: Simple geometric relationships show that an engine cylinder with longer stroke-to-bore ratio will have a smaller surface area exposed to the combustion chamber gasses compared to a cylinder with shorter stroke-to-bore ratio.

Can I put longer shocks on my truck?

In fact, you can adjust some shocks to be longer, but this isn’t ideal. It’s the same as if you were pushing the shocks to the limit and keeping them there. You can say the same about torsion bars. Most trucks come with a torsion bar suspension system.

Are front or rear shocks bigger?

The ride height is the same in the rear as it is in the front. The shock will travel the same distance whether it’s on the front or not as the chassis will bottom out at the same time. To combat the extra weight, all you would need to do is up the oil/spring weight on the rear shocks.

Can struts change ride height?

Struts and or shocks DO NOT AFFECT RIDE HEIGHT only ride quality. Think about it if you put pressure on any set of shocks{except air adustable}it will contract untill there is no more pressure. Your car always puts wait on the shocks, therefore they contract. Not enough resistance to affect ride hieght.

Do Bilstein shocks add height?

No, shocks won’t, or maybe I should say shouldn’t change your ride height. Shocks themselves won’t ever change a vehicles ride height. There are shock appications that are specific to lift height to allow for more travel.

Should shocks stay compressed?

The more rebound, the slower the shock will return to ride height, and the more it will smooth out the ride; in a turn, it will help reduce some of the roll on the inside wheel. Gas-charged shocks have an initial load pressure due to the gas charge, which is why they don’t stay compressed like the original shock.

Which is better a long stroke or under square engine?

Long Stroke/ Under square Engine: As the name suggests the Stroke is longer than the Bore. Due to the longer stroke, the engine makes good torque at relatively low rpms.

What happens when the shock absorber length is to short?

If the extended length of the shock absorber is to short it will “top-out” and reduce the extended travel. “Topping out” is the term used when the piston inside the shock absorber collides with the cylinder head. If this is allowed to happen continuously, damage will ensue to the mounts and possibly the internal rebound stop.

Which is a short stroke engine Apache or pulsar?

Pulsar 220 has a short stroke engine… Apache 180 – Bore = 62.5 mm and Stroke = 57.8 mm Pulsar 220 – Bore = 67 mm and stroke = 62.4 mm Pulsar 180 – Bore = 63.5 mm and stroke = 56.4 mm As the name suggests the Stroke is longer than the Bore. Due to the longer stroke, the engine makes good torque at relatively low rpms.

Why does a short stroke engine have a lower piston speed?

Piston speed is the test of strength of the piston and connecting rod (conrod) subassembly. Higher speeds, thus inertia, would tear the connection apart. As such, the engine has a lower lower maximum RPM, putting another limit on horsepower.
