93 ron as a base to start from on a car that needs 100RON?? That doesn't sound good 
I'd feel uncomfortable making the rest of that up with booster. That said my opinion is a gut-feeling as opposed to having any scientific basis

Select Monitor can retard the ignition until next ECU reset, but I don't know what access you could get to one.
93 octane - in India is this RON or MON - makes big difference.
You should with NF octane booster be able to get it up quite well - from lower octane it takes less.
Get a knocklink first of all.
