Do you need to use an octane booster on a jap import and if you do why? And if you don't is it going to cause trouble?
Thanks

yes

to raise the octane rating. japan has 100ron.. we have 95-98.

maybe.. u may get det if u dont either

* use optimax and octane boost
OR
* use optimax and get a remap for that fuel
AND
* get a knocklink to be on the safe side


so the moral of the story is.. get a remap... and until u do, use optimax plus octane boost

 

Thanks Milo. I'm off to the shops.

some octane boosters are better than others!

don't waist your money on pro boost,nitrox or any of the other expensive rubbish.

NF is the best one to use but it is in short supply at the moment.

the best one that is readly available is millers octane plus.

hope this helps

 

we use C5 in the skylines, but is fine for Suabru. if intrested email me.

 

I have used Miller's ever since I have owned my scoob with no problems.

What about adding a bit of Meths to the fuel?

 

Thanks lads,

Can i get this all of line?

Murfs

 

oops, I meant "on-line"

 

NF appears to have disappeared from the UK market - at least, I can't get any from the appointed supplier. Or my phone calls and email answered.

But I think Millers is just as good. I can get it locally or Scoobymania can supply. £3 per tank for +2 RON.

Certain irony in that the Google ad on this page suggests Tetra Ethyl Lead (Lead Supreme) as an octane booster which would presumably wreck the 'cat and sensors pretty quickly!!
