Upon second look of that page, it looks like the c/r can vary from 14:1 down to 8:1 which is awesome. Too bad the rods are weak, the rotational mass is increased significantly, frictional losses will go up due to the increased journal surface area, and the fact that this car will not be cheap at all. When you add in the cost of turbo, and machining all of those parts, thats going to be an expensive, low revving engine. Say it gets 30mpg over its conventional counterpart's 24mpg. Average person drives 12,000 miles per year. Thats 500 gallons of gas vs 400. At todays gas prices, that is $400 / year. If that engine costs $4000 more (being conservative), it would take 10 years or 120,000 miles for it to pay for itself. Its a cool idea, but it has no performance market, and its not economically feasible.
