Good evening everyone, We realise we've become a little slack with our 'Tech Insights' over the last few months, after lock down was lifted and we returned to the workshop, we a had a rather large workload to get through so the Tech Insights unfortunately took a back seat. They always got good feedback so I thought we best pull our finger out and get another one up for you all! A question we still receive on a regular basis is how E85 maps/Flex Fuel work, what's needed for it and what are the benefits; naturally this prompted this article....
RaceCal 'Tech Insight' - MBT, Ignition Timing and Knock
This week's Tech Insight focuses on a term that you may (or may not!) have heard used before when it comes to calibrating an engine. MBT is an important aspect of engine calibration as it is directly related to the torque the engine produces and how safely at your chosen ignition advance. To get a better understanding of MBT, we should first start with a recap on the fundamentals of the spark delivery on a 4-stroke engine. The term ‘ignition timing’ / ‘ignition advance’ / ‘ignition angle’ refers to the point in the engine cycle at which the spark event...
