I'm going with all 116 and blowing my engine out. screw it! I'm going back to the future bitches!

 

lmao!!!!!

At least when you bring it back it's under warrenty. Just make sure to tell them you dont' know what happened..

 

 

I thought the theory was that the octane rating was a rating of resistance to ignition. You can trigger ignition when compression is higher in the cylinder releasing more energy, the fuel itself does not contain any more energy than a lower octane fuel. If it's true that the ECU will detune itself to run on lower octane fuel then the reverse might also be true that it can tune itself for a higher octane but how far will it go? It seems that the worst that can happen is that you are just waisting money on a higher octane than the engine can use. All thats happening if you use an octane too high for the ECU is that its triggering ignition before it's peek compression. This is not the same as using lower octane fuel that auto detonates before the ECU can trigger the sparkplug which causes knocking and can lead to engine damage. The answer would probably be to mix octanes until you get to a peek performance from the ECU

Anyone have some race fuel and a dyno?

 

Speaking of remap, when are you getting your 545 remapped richard? You were the lucky winner of that prize at the meet. Hurry!

 

I was hoping this week or next, I might try to get some 116 after that I was hoping to test it out on the Bear mountain roads

 

You got a place in NJ that sells 116?......I don't know if Englishtown does?

I know of a Sunoco here that does it's about $90 for 5 gallons

 

Not in NJ I'd be out on long island after the remap so I'd look up C's place. $18 gallon huh? $325 to fill up...Thats like UK prices for regular
