"With our newer controllers and control systems, you can process information faster. So, if you start to sense an issue, you can react to it faster."
"It's still based on our knock sensors, which are vibration-based. So if you can start detecting an unusual vibration, if it meets a certain frequency profile, then we react to that."
"The new processors, faster speed... obviously helps us chew through the logic."
"That's one more step on the journey to integrate and make the engine controls as agile as they can be... one step closer."
The LS6 engine from Chevy boasts a 13:1 compression ratio, surpassing the previous 12.5:1 in the Z06. Enhancements include improved cooling around valves and spark plugs, along with optimized direct injection. The new E94 onboard engine controller allows for faster processing, enabling quicker responses to issues like knock. This refined knock detection system utilizes vibration-based sensors to identify unusual patterns, enhancing performance. Although still a discrete controller, it marks progress towards integrating engine controls into a software-defined vehicle platform.
