just thinking... will a petrol cooler helps to avoid (a bit) detonation ?
tks

 

I was thinking this the other day too.
Theoretically yes I suppose as charge will be cooler as fuel absorbs some of the heat from the air ?
tabetha

 

It would in theory be better , in aircraft air cooled petrol engnes they inject more fuel and rely on its latent heat of evaporation to aid cooling , another method is to increase fuel flow and cool the tank and rely on the fact that the fuel can only spend so much time picking up the heat on its journey to the fuel rail , guess you could try using something to drop temp in the way to rail and see if it worked .

 

thats also an idea
alot of new diesel cars have stock diesel coolers, but they dont suffer detonation
