RON 97 or RON 95 for turbo?

[turbolover]

Hey guys,
I think i'm sticking to RON 97 come sept 1.what about u guys since turbo engine r on the sensitive side?

 

[egb18c]

ron95

sr20 drinks a lot of fuel,thats more than enough to make me decide to put ron95 on her
not goin to boost anyway,turbo kong,haha,
eh,sr20 can run on ron95 or not?hehe

 

[xtremeleo]

nuthing wrong in using d 95 pun, just get ur tuning right jer ler. in fact, my puny 4efte is factory tuned for 88RON so a 95 (or a 92 for dat matter) is way better den what is recommended by the manufacturer. what engine are u using?

 

[turbolover]

wei!u guys r hardcore la.haha.maybe ur rides r thirsty.lucky mine is still ok if i use ron97.wont be too costly to my pocket.anyone know whats the minimum requirement for 4g93t?

 

[egb18c]

can sure can ron95.if everything ok for a while,let say,a month,then it would be fine.hahahaha.(please dont follow this advice)

put gen2 with ron92,the minimum is ron 95,selamber,rev here and there,engine still ok.hahaha

if boosting high, use higher octane fuel... this reduces detonation....
if u not boosting (like egb18c), low octane fuel also ok... coz forced induction engine has lower compression compare to NA engines... hence, they will not experience knocking as long as turbine doesnt spool up...

 

[bebolagalas T]

dont put this thing on EVO...high risk huhu..

 

[turbolover]

Then mine should be ok la since my boost only 0.5 bar.hehe.

 

[xtremeleo]

no, use the recommended ron or higher

most cars nowadays have been fitted wit an ignition retarder aka knock sensor, so using any available RON pun takpe. a 95 is the minimum specified by proton for the gen2? then there shudnt be any issue ler kan

 

[trueno]

wah..then rb engine use ron95 or 97?my boost is 0.6 only lah....

just wondering, issit the ron97 we using now is Real ron97..?? u know la... sometimes in malaysia, anything can happen 1... announce ron97 & ron95, but actually just put the ron95 on ron92, same goes to ron95 then put ron97...

 

[khoyos]

what i plan on doing is to run 95ron with water injection kit. at least can help reduce the potential hazards that might arise...

if 'they' claim that water/met injection can raise the ron up to 116 when using ron97, then how is the ron when using ron95..??

 

[egb18c]

simple math, 97-95 is 2,so if 116 minus 2 is 114,so the ron with ron 95 is 114.hahaha.
thats so not right,i guess.

but when the combustion chamber is cooler,so it is safer to use ron 95.
and theres a lot of guys out there are using alcohol+water to gain more power.alcohol for the extra umph,and water to make it run cooler,
a but then,how to mix alcohol with water?aha.ok,this is so out of topic.

 

[JINEIL2EN]

u can just buy the Juice from some shop in sunway...

water add more oxygen i guess...

malaysia got place to test fuel octane rating??... if it is not within spec, mayb we can sue petroleum company for huge ass sum of money....

 

[turbolover]

I agree with jiniel,
we might not know what we are getting now.maybe pumping in ron95 all this while thinking it's ron97.apa pun boleh.
On a 4g93t got knock sensor ka?if yes why my engine still knocking?
Khoyos,
the water injection system that i heard before and u r mentioning it now,can it be fitted to turbo cars?if yes how does it works?

 

[papagoines]

tested my JB-JL stock turbo wif RON 95 (petronas putrajaya summore ) for 3 fillups... so far no problem.... been accelerating wif full boost (0.9bar) summore and still no knocking... confirmed by 2 experience mechanics....

but they do recommend to use e-manage wif ignition harness just for safety sake...

 

[turbolover]

Oh good already tried.tempted to try.haha.i think i fill 30bucks first.

sure it can work. google for more info. it has even been discussed in here...
