Hey guys!
I see that the question of fuel comes up in quite a lot of the topics about turboing the Celica. If you are running on 91 or 93 octane (you really run on that in US?) you are in for a real blowout if running above 10 psi or something? Or is the 93 safe? Anyway, we have 95 and 98 octane in Norway (regular gas) and my Celica is using 95 (factory default). Would that mean that I don't have to worry about the detonation issue? And would it help even more to switch over from 95 to 98 octane? Why run on 95 when you can use 98? Does it harm the engine or car in any way since everything is setup to run on 95? Or is price and polution the only reason to use 95? I'm really clueless to all this fuel types, running lean and whatnot when it comes to a turbo setup. Clearify please -------------------- |
