Dave_SZ-R Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 This is really a question for the n/a crowd I suppose, but any advice is appreciated. Since having my last car (imported Celica) Ive been in the habit of only ever putting in 97RON or above (Ultimate, V-Power etc.). The question is, is it OK to use normal 95RON fuel in my n/a, or should I stick to the strong stuff? Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony tt Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Stick to the strong stuff imo you cant go wrong that way bud. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 95 ron is perfectly fine for the NA. It's only the turbo cars that need the higher octane fuel to help starve off det. Most people here have used 95 RON in their NA's for years without issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used 95 on my N/A without the problem no reason to put V-Power or similar to normal use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 All that. 95 all day long for me... I put VPower or whatever in if they've ran out of normal.. but it really makes no difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazzi Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 I use V-power all the time. I was on V-power during the last dyno day we had and made 226hp, im curious if my hp would drop if I started using 95. Shell claim to add extra additives to V-power to flush out the system, this may be BS but my car feels strong, especially on a cold crisp day.

Dave_SZ-R Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 Well, Ill be using 95 from now on then! Isnt there some myth about all Jap imports needing high octane fuel, or is that just FI cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 When I first got the NA I put in Optimax etc and then went to 95 Ron, made no difference what so ever..... It's 2 years since I put higher octane stuff in without any issues!! H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Using a little V Power or the other higher rons does do your engine good. Keeps the injectors and pump clean. Use 95 but every few tanks, put the good stuff in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
