13' Eco Towing Performanec
Hello Fellow Rv'ers; An update on our Ecoboost's performance on our first little 4500 mile excursion. Started from the 4 corners of New Mexico. Filled with 91 octane and kept using 91 octane the fir...

Hey Don...ya caught me in my engineering short/hand speak... ;)
We tend to go that-a-way because we generally know the backgrounders
and shorthand so as not to have to go over volumes of info we had
to learn in school...
Sorry...do that too often here and everywhere...have to slow down to
speak an almost foreign language... :B
ICE...Internal Combustion Engine. Gasser (4 cycle and 2 cycle) and Diesel (4 cycle
and 2 cycle). Heck toss in a Wankel to be more correct... ;)
Thermal management is not just the knock sensor...that is already too late and
just a safety
The knock sensor should 'not' be the basis for spark timing. If they did so, then
they are working uphill as timing should not be reactive, but predictive
The safety aspect of the knock sensor is reactive.
Touch on one aspect of the EcoBoost's intercooler and that some folks are plagued
with water in there...dew point and been known to boy racers for several
decades. Along with the back yard hole to fancy valving. That is just
'one' attribute (better to us metric) to thermal management...thermal
management is *NOT* just pre-ignition, but how much or whether to
allow power mode (there are several levels) or go to limp mode (and
there are several levels there too)
Other attributes to thermal management of any forced fed ICE is the humidity
vs PSI vs temp. Add the other thermal conditions of the rest of the ICE (intake,
CC, and even carbon build up...or a bit of carbon not built up but just there, etc)
Send me the specifications of that Mazda ICE, along with the rest of the intake
and exhaust spec's.
Another question for you...why did I invent diamond foam as a thermal
management component? 'One' hint is aspect ratio of aluminum...
PS...you know the difference between a theory, empirical data, fact,
and laws of physics ? A progression to either prove as fact or disapprove

Okay then. Not enough compression to ignite fuel, but too much to not knock without premium.
I stick by my post and contenb that BenK is speaking beyond his knowledge with theories.
And if the EB loses a knock sensor, of course it will knock, it depends on that info to time fuel and spark events.
How do you figure Mazda runs 13:1 compression on their gas DI engines with regular fuel Ben?

{edit}....ops placed the below comment in the wrong paragraph...
Now fixed for who it was meant for in the first place..."NOT" for Don
PPS...which one above ICE's has the highest efficiency ? Normalized BTU per unit measure
