With \u2018normal\u2019 timing this is OK because not so much fuel is burned that it fights the upward movement of the piston.Second, and this is the clincher, the \u2018advanced\u2019 knock sensor programming advances the timing until there is a knock\u2026 But adding BG makes the combustion not just faster but\u00a0much more knock resistant, so the timing just keeps advancing, too far! \u00a0\u00a0So now so much of the fuel is being burned BTDC and the combustion pressure is pushing down on the piston too soon; fighting the upward movement of the piston and you lose power.What can be done about it? \u00a0One solution is to add a MAP or MAF Enhancer. \u00a0If you convince the CPU that there is less air coming into the engine, it will retard the timing; at the same time as giving less fuel, a win all around.Another solution would be to cause an \u2018artificial\u2019 knock or a knock enhancing circuit but I haven\u2019t gotten to that yet.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product-resource-group":[107],"restricted-resource-tag":[],"class_list":["post-991","product-resource","type-product-resource","status-publish","hentry","product-resource-group-hyzor-resources"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-resource\/991","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-resource"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product-resource"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=991"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product-resource-group","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product-resource-group?post=991"},{"taxonomy":"restricted-resource-tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aquacure-jeffro-dev.linksdev.com\/es\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/restricted-resource-tag?post=991"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
