    How does octane number affect EGT readings in a 2-stroke engine?

    Thank you again some of it or most of what you said I understand and can visualize the combustion process and I still read it more than once because it helps to understand it. Another question on Detonation. Why is it if you have a a high compression 2 stroke motor that needs a high octane fuel...

    How does octane number affect EGT readings in a 2-stroke engine?

    Yes some of that went right over my head but I'm still wondering what comes first, sorry. Can you not have pre igniton without detonation? Is Pre Ignition a by product of Detonation or do you need Pre Ignition first then Deto happens?

    How does octane number affect EGT readings in a 2-stroke engine?

    Thank you brewnog That is more than I ever wanted or needed and I will try to digest that and will probably be back for more. Thank you again. I've got another question that I have no answer for or searched for many times. What always comes first. Detonation first than Pre Ignition. Does Deto...

    How does octane number affect EGT readings in a 2-stroke engine?

    brewnog As I looked back on past post I've read here it seems like you know a lot about EGTs and A/F ratios.

    How does octane number affect EGT readings in a 2-stroke engine?

    Fair enough. This is a high school shop project and I own a snowmobile but don't have egts on it but some friends have. I know that if we add more air to the ratio EGT temps will raise meaning more oxygen I guess and this is like adding more oxygen to a fire. The same in the combustion process...

    I hope someone chimes in. This is how I found these forums, I seen a couple of guys talking in a topic about EGTs and A/F mixtures.

    How does octane number affect EGT readings in a 2-stroke engine?

    I am doing a project and was researching some information and found this site and read some information as to what I am doing but it didn't have all the answers needed. I'm doing a project on egt readings and twin cylinder 2 stroke snowmobile engines. For example what effects higher or lower...
