Default *detination*? Do you mean.....

oil in the combustion chamber causes *detonation* before spark ignition or it simply causes detonation?
What makes you think that oil gets by your rings?
Think about it for a minute?

Default detOnation.............

Are you sure there is *oil* in the combustion chamber?
I'm afraid you don't really understand how it works.

Default Don't want to cause any heated arguments/discussions

From what I understand DetOnation (thanks), is fuel pre-igniting before spark goes off from spark plugs.

When you have a lower octane rating it can cause detonation/knocking .

My point to all this, I'm getting a chip installed and worried about running high boost levels, so therefore don't want to have any reason for my engine to suffer from low fuel octane (or coating the I/C's.

With my previous car (R33 Skyline) I installed an oil/air separator, after that there was no more oil getting into the combustion process.

I may be wrong about all this but many people agree with me on this.

Cheers
