How bad is turbo without intercooler?

Octane effects more than knock resistance. Flame front speed is also effected, for example.

False. Specific gravity effects how fast a fuel burns, but the octane rating doesn't.

*Only because fast burning hydrocarbons also happen to be light, for the most part.

Right, and the SG of two different octane fuels is different?

It may or may not be, but spouting off about octane rating effecting flame front speed is ridiculous. Some of the highest octane fuels out there are also the fastest burning.

It typically does when you're comparing apples to apples. I'm not talking about comparing leaded fuels, avgas or anything, to typical gas pump petroleum.

The discussion is about effective things relevant to the subject, not a science lesson for the pedants.

Oh I get it now. Since its not a science lesson we're allowed to say AKI effects two things we know it doesn't effect. Got it.

I concede. You know what I meant. Nobody else cares

You could pull the intercooler out of the first celica-supra turbos and route things differently and barely notice as long as you didn't track the thing. the intercooler was the size of a 1 litre coke bottle.

I don't know about the celica turbo u mentioned above. What I said was the basic principle of Forced Induction system. Fear or however you take it, I dont care. It s not my car, and I don't earn money here.

Unless, you can find some professional to change those principle. I found your post were nothing more than arrogant attitude, and off the topic.

Its not an 86, but I ran a s trim at 12psi with e85 on a 302 sn95 for 83, 000 miles with no issues. Stock shortblock with p heads and supporting mods.

Perrin has done some testing around replacing an sti intercooler with water/meth. It didn't go well.
