		<description><![CDATA[In a forced induction engine (turbos, superchargers and twin chargers) and to some extent a NASP engine with a high compression ratio you have the ever present risk of detonation. This is where the fuel prematurely ignites typically causing major engine damage. When adding or increasing the amount of air going into the engine you [...]]]></description>

Sometimes it is quite hard to fit a larger turbo to an engine, the most notable reason being the lack of space available.

For petrol engines 14.5:1 is the petrol cruising AFR but under load the engine needs more fuel, with typically around a 13:1 AFR. In [...]]]></description>
