The engine is a SAAB 2.3L standard production engine (fuel injection,
no turbo, no EGR). The volumetric efficiencies close to 1.1 was obtained
around 4000 rpm. Normally the vol. eff. should be 0.85 (see any engine
book) which makes an error of (1.1-.85)/.85=29%.
How can vol. eff. be greater than 1?
