detonation is in simple turms is an uncotroled explosion in your engine which will very quickly kill the piston. you cant control it but only not run to high compression or boost or use high octane fuel, look on the net lots about it

I recall this has been discussed at least twice in good detail on TM since it started...

Maybe try a search, rather than everyone re-typing the same again?

alex, i think not so long ago i recall you explaining this to a young lad on minifinity who wanted a 20psi with a T4 turbo (!), and after a few comedy replies from various people you ended up explaining it very well in laymans terms that even i understood, ill try and dig it up even if its only for comedy value.

Personally i think 100 odd posts in 3 years is fine, rather that than 700 BS posts in 6 months
