Does gas really matter if youre running less than 250whp??
Sup all....
I had a boosted Y8 before with a .63 trim eGay set up that was pushing 210whp/190tq tuned on Crome by Import Auto Pros in Westminster. When I got the tune I filled up with 91 octane, but before I boosted the car, I always ran 87 because thats what piece of sht Civics call for.
Anyways, when I get another turbo set up, can I pump 87 and get tuned with that??? Im not trying to be cheap but Im not going to be pushing serious numbers and 91 could be a waste.

the only thing that gas affects is detonation, retard your timing enough to use 87, where it wont detonate under boost, and yes i assume it is possible, but you sure as hell wont make 210whp lol

I dont know of any factory turbo cars that run right on 87, so I doubt a Honda will do any better

You will notice a difference. My filled filled the Sol up once with 89 and I noticed a huge diff. It didnt run right at all.
