This is from your link now..

Detonation is affected by many things including ECT, IAT, octane, timing, compression ratio (or boost), RPMs, and AF. Increased coolant temps or air intake temps will increase the chances of detonation.


YOU are claiming that DECREASED engine temps cause detonation.

Its no secret that overly hot engines are not to be running/driving/boosting.

The civics ECU is in the cabin, it doesnt get dirty. It has the comforts of AC. and a little dirt on the block wont effect whatever natural cooling the aluminum will do. Its getting hit with air from the outside AND air from the fan.

NA = Naturally Aspirated. AKA, no turbo/supercharger.

FI/Forced Induction = Turbo or super charger.

This thread kinda got derailed but thanks for everyone's participation. I am still curious if these products work as advertised and what positives or negatives may come from use. So, I will try my best to do a controlled experiment and return with results.
