supra-lover Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 shit so I've just put £20 worth of 99 octane juice in for no reason:d just asking because I'm getting people saying i should and people saying i shouldn't,, but your rite if it was a TT i would say yes but as I'm n/a i won't bother, as it don't make any difference with the way it runs at all..

RedM Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Did the Japanese have 100 ron petrol back in '93? Did they have SUL back then either. If not, then what did they use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shilakadaddy Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 low quality fuels can cause pinking, which can damage your engine. But I would assume the supra has knock sensors to prevent this...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supra-lover Posted August 15, 2006 Author Share Posted August 15, 2006 They program the EMS to run with the higher octane fuel that is readily available in Japan. so you would say stick with 99 octane then?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJ Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 so you would say stick with 99 octane then?? As was mentioned earlier, the NA will be fine on the 95 Octane. I believe the TT should be run on the higher octane due to my post above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
