Knock control - N18 engine: Notes

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

At 10.5:1 this powerplant's compression ratio is relatively high for an engine with forced induction. For this reason a knock-control system monitors the combustion process. The knock control features extended functionality. The DME control unit also recognizes super-knocking (a special kind of auto-ignition).
