Taken from a Mercedes. Same motor; 5 different combustion events. Notice that LPP can be well past 20 ATDC ..and if its past 14 ATDC, there is less Peak Pressure.
The author in that streetrodstuff article needs to revise. LPP @ 14 ATDC is the target (our goal), and it does not occur @ 14 ATDC for every motor.</TD></TR></TABLE>
The last thing he said, at the end of page 8 goes as follows:
Hopefully this discussion will serve as a thought starter. I welcome any communication on this subject. Every application is unique so beware of blanket statements as many variables affect these processes.
