> Here is a nice off the wall question for the list.
>
> A few recent engines have 13 to 1 compression ratios and burn 87 octane
> unleaded gasolinewithout pinging or detonation. One is also
> turbocharged(possiable memory failure here.) They have what I believe is
> called direct or solid injection where the fuel is sprayed into the
combustion
> chamber not the intake port.
> The only way I can see this working is if the fuel is ignited by the spark
plug as
> it is sprayed into the combustion chamber. This would prevent
> combustionable fuel from reaching End Gas areas of the combustion
> chamber where it can detonate.
>
> So my question is, what have I got screwed up???? Anything ---
> everything????
