Blackie Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Does it make alot of difference? Lose a lot of power? Is there any octaine boost products i could use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 no difference whatsoever in worries with the engine. I had an NA for 2 - 3yrs always ran on unleaded Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 I've run my N/A on normal unleaded for 4 years without any issues. The odd time I do treat it to Super, it does feel noticeably different - bit more power, better throttle response, but not worth the extra 10-15p/l or whatever it is currently, not for the amount of miles I do, anyway.

Dave_SZ-R Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 As above, I give my NA 'normal' unleaded with no issues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 At least it'll be a reasonable rock & roll death. Knowing my luck, I'll probably choke to death on my own vimto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pistonbroke Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Im still using 4star in my TT, runs like a dream! I wouldn't put it in a TT. You don't want to be getting knock on these engines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 Im still using 4star in my TT, runs like a dream! 1) Sounds like a risky strategy. I don't know much about it, but the effects of lead inside a 2JZ engine must be relatively unknown, I would think. 2) I didn't know that 4 star was still available apart from from specialist suppliers.

You may be right fellas, but I've also been running my TT on regular unleaded for 9 years. No engine problems after 100,000 miles... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
