Low-Speed Pre-Ignition (LSPI) is an abnormal combustion event occurring in modern turbocharged, direct-injected (DI) gasoline engines. It involves the premature ignition of the fuel-air mixture before the intended spark, leading to excessive pressures within the engine’s cylinders.
This can result in engine noise in mild cases and in severe instances, cause significant engine damage, including broken spark plugs and cracked pistons.
To minimise LSPI risks, maintaining clean fuel injectors and combustion chambers is essential, as cleanliness promotes complete combustion and reduces the likelihood of LSPI events.
To achieve engine cleanliness, ensure optimal performance and reduce the chances of LSPI occurrences, Forté recommends the following treatments:
- Forté Advanced Formula Motor Flush
- Forté Advanced Formula Petrol Treatment
- Forté Petrol Specialist Injector Cleaner
- Forté Air Intake & Valve Cleaner
