Abstract
A system and a method for improving engine performance by utilizing a variable compression ratio mechanism and a boosting mechanism are presented. The performance is improved by coordinating the control of ignition timing, compression ratio, and engine boosting while at the same time minimizing engine knock, preventing undesirable interaction, and providing optimal fuel economy. According to the present invention, adjusting ignition timing and compression ratio can be done either sequentially or concurrently.
