Re: New car in the family
I found this information on the web:
"EZ36D: 3629CC DOHC, 260ps (191 kW) @6000rpm, 335Nm@4400rpm. Bore 92mm, Stroke 91mm. Compression 10.5:1. Found in the 2010-current Legacy, Outback and 2008-current Tribeca. The EZ36D incorporates possibly the only implementation of an asymmetrical connecting rod in a modern application. The offset connecting rod was designed to allow additional displacement from the same exterior dimensions."
Anyone know what the benefits/issues are with asymmetric connecting rods?
What is the cutoff typically for compression ratios where one can switch over to regular gas? My Tribeca is 10.8 or 10.7 and needs premium. And how high can one go before racing fuel is needed? Can you run 11.8 on premium gas?
