3rd gen 3sge does anyone know the recommended octane? Or most likely RON since it's not a US engine? I've been bashing my brains in trying to figure out this problem and refuse to go to another race with it. After about 30 hard miles 5k RPM.... the engine starts cutting out lower and lower in the RPM range until I cant rev over 4k RPMS.
I've been running 87 octane, i'm thinking the knock sensor could be detecting something and slowly pulling timing. If this is the case i'm an idiot, and created a lot of headache for a stupid easy fix.... just sucks cause there's no easy way to test it.

the octane fuel booster don't do crap!
they raise it perhaps 1 octane level and maybe 1.5 octane if that!. so if you fill with 87 octane you might get 88.5 its 93 or nothing. -------------------- Group buy to replicate Narrow E series transaxle parts

Depends what you buy. Turbo 108 racing fuel concentrate, not octane booster. But yeah the regular stuff is like 1 octane or something.
