For a variety of reasons, race engines can experience either or both these conditions involving uncontrolled combustion. And, we all know either or both can cause power losses and potentially damaged ...

Under the necessary conditions of ignition and proper burn rates (cylinder pressure history), both these conditions can exist in virtually any engine. But, in particular, they certainly apply to race ...

Like much in life, the difference between detonation and pre-ignition, and their effects, comes down to timing. Both refer to a situation when an engine's fuel/air mixture combusts at the wrong time, ...

Southwest Research Institute and The University of Texas at San Antonio are collaborating to develop methods to detect pre-ignitions in real-time. The researchers will first use laboratory-grade ...

Formula 1 has always been at the forefront of cutting-edge automotive engineering, be it vehicle dynamics or engine tech. Unsurprisingly, the pinnacle of motorsports has seen a lot of change since the ...

MAHLE can now integrate pre-chamber ignition into engines that are already into production without having to change much in the machining process. MAHLE Jet Ignition technology can be installed in ...

Many fleet operators are interested in minimizing the number of engine oils they need to carry for their fleets, ideally seeking one solution that works across a mix of heavy, medium and light-duty ...

Aston Martin Lagonda Global has been granted a patent for a pre-combustion chamber assembly designed for spark ignition engines. This assembly features an ignition chamber that effectively removes ...
