Hello,
I'm trying to create an I4 engine that runs on unleaded fuel, but I keep running into knocking problems. Does anybody have any tips on how to prevent engine knocking when using unleaded fuel?
Thanks!

Lower the compression ratio.

Also add fuel and reduce ignition timing.

high cam profile, forged or lightweight forged pistons and SOHC or DOHC valvetrain can help, if they fit into your design idea.

Thanks for the help guys, I was able to get my engine running on unleaded. Yay!
I wasn't able to make my engine exactly the way I wanted. VVT's aren't in the demo, correct?

Also using more advanced fuel delivery ie: multiport electronic fuel injection will lower the RON required.

I only saw mechanical injection, I'm guessing that's because I'm using the free demo.

Have you checked your tech year slider? Someone please help me demonstrate this.

there's a technology year slider in every tab. It defines what technologies become available. By adjusting it towards the future, you can unlock better technologies.
