Re: higher compression= higher octane? help (Jdmb18c)
you didn't know? you must run octane booster for anything with compression over 10.5:1.
jfwy, you could safely go to 11.5:1 on 91 octane.

Re: higher compression= higher octane? help (killingtime)
I run 11.5:1 compression on 91 Octane gas and advanced timing you will be fine, it's when you get near 12:1 you should start worrying although I know of people doing that on stock timing with no problems.

Re: higher compression= higher octane? help (suprfast)
yes Japan uses different rating then we do, we use whats called pump octane (AKI) system, they use something like RON system there is also MON system which combined together and avg. gives you pump octane...R+M/2=AKI
AKI= is used in USA (pump octane)
98 RON octane equal about 93-4 AKI at our gas station...
