you can map any car to run on any fuel. although imports are mapped for 100 ron in japan when they get here everyone uses optimax and octane booster to get as close as possible to 100ron but once mapped can run any according to mapping 95/97 what ever you want!!!

It depends on the year of the car.
I own a 97 import and I use optimax and booster. Had it for 18 months and its still sweet.
I think (maybe wrong, not quite sure on exact year but) pre 99 cars can't be remapped, they need a new ECU, but post 99 imports can be remapped, using existing ECU

Pre 96 classics can be mapped On the mainboard of the ECU there is a space provided for an 'additional' eprom which can be programmed with different map (some of the classic ECU's an eprom holder is already fitted)
All that is then required is to cut a link (J1) on the mainboard for the Eprom to be read rather than the onboard map

You need to specify the MY of your car before anyone will advise, but basically any MY can be done, its just a matter of if its a map of your existing ECU (ecutek for MY99 on) or a piggyback or replacement ECU for earlier MY's.
The spec of the car would also help people advise.

If you are in doubt you can always get a scoobyecu or one of these and run on optimax without problem as thats what its mapped for:

I think Apexi also do a something called a power commander which can be plugged in to all models and be cusom mapped(cost about £500 I think).

Yes you can run it on unleaded but it will have to be mapped for it.
