| This shouldn't apply to the MINI or any modern cars with real knock sensors. It worked because the dodge did NOT have a knock sensor, so just always retarded things simply because of temp.
Modern cars have acoustical knock sensors that actually hear (just like you would listen) the first bit of a knock and make adjustments before you could probably even tell. But they only make them if the engine were in fact knocking, not all the time as in the case with the dodge. |
