100 octane fuel
Will it hurt the engine if I were to pump 100% octane on a b16 with i/h/e? Or does the car have to be highly moded in order to use a higher octane fuel? Or would it be safer to use 92-94 octane....Just curious? Lemme me know your inputs about it?

Re: 100% octane fuel (Ek4 life)
why would you want to waste money like that? a mixture will be fine but straight 100 octane will foul your spark plugs pretty quick.

Octane is the resistance to burn. Your B16A doesn't need a high octane fuel like that. It has, at the most, 10.4:1 compression, it's NA, and not very modded. It has stock timing advance.
It will leave a residue, burn more in your exhaust than in your motor, foul your plugs, your cat, and O2 sensor with unburned fuel.
A USDM B16A can even run fine on 87 octane. Even if you have the JDM version, you're wasting money as the best case scenario.
Stick with using between 91 and 93 octane. Anything higher is a waste of money. You're not going to make any more power.

100% octane? You mean 100 or 110 point octane?
It's not a percentage . . . .
Yes, you can run high octane fuels on your B16A (such as TRICK), but it only does you any good if you're trying really hard to prevent some detonation -- I take it you're not boosted and not spraying?
All in all, waste of money. Service manual and owners manual call for 91.

Re: (Ek4 life)
stick with 91 octane. anything higher will not make your car go faster or run better, but in the end itll make you lighter in the wallet.

Man U FTW
unless your car is tuned for a certain fuel, dont run anything more than what Honda recommends. Having simple bolt-ons like you listed is a TERRIBLE reason to spend $7/gal on 100 octane. Also, you can kiss your 02 sensor goodbye...

Re: (Schister66)
I don't feel like reading all that crap, I just wanna stick my $.02 in here.
The number on the pump, the octane reading, 87, 89, 91, 93, etc. aren't percentages of octane, 87 octane means it has the anti-knock properties of 87/13 octane/heptane (wont't pre-ignite due to high pressure as easily).
I didn't even read ur post chief, just that based on the title, good luck with ur Q

I was going to point that out, but I just assumed he meant 100% iso-octane.
