Automotive Good books to understand detonation in engines

AI Thread Summary
Recommended introductory books for understanding detonation in engines include "Gaseous Detonations: Their Nature, Effects and Control" by M.A. Nettleton and "Internal Combustion Engine Fundamentals" by John Heywood, which is highly regarded in the field. The Wikipedia page on engine knocking serves as a useful starting point for basic concepts. Additionally, "IC Engine" by M.L. Mathur and R.P. Sharma is suggested for further insights. The discussion emphasizes the importance of foundational knowledge in the subject of engine detonation. These resources provide a solid basis for understanding the complexities of engine knock and detonation phenomena.

He analyzes the claim of achieving 100 mpg with a 427 cubic inch V8 1970 Ford Galaxy in 1977. Only the fuel supply system was modified. I was surprised that he feels the claim could have been...

Thread 'Turbocharging carbureted petrol 2 stroke engines'

But if you search online you can find carbureted 2stroke turbo sled or the Am6 turbo. The question is: Is really possible turbocharge a 2 stroke carburated(NOT EFI)petrol engine and...
