what octane for d16y8
I searched or at least i think i searched. I cant get anything but searched failed so maybe i dont know how to use it. Anyway i have owned a 99 gsr and a 2000 si both which needed 91 or higher. My ? is my 92 civic hatch has a d16y8 swap and im not sure if premium fuel is needed. I know the compression isnt that high but almost everyone that i have talked to says that all vtec engines require 91 or higher. Thanks in advance.

Well... on the gs-r gauge cluster it does say "Premium Unleaded Fuel Only"
I believe that you can run manby production cars on regular. I used to have a Mitusbishi 3000gt which said the same thing on the cluster and on the gas tank and i always filled it with regular. My friend has a $70,000 lexus LS430 and it is the same situation with him. His cluster says that as well and he puts regular

Re: (dudeomega2000)
why do you think the engineers decided to put 'Premium unleaded fuel only' on certain cars?
I'm sure you might not feel/see any short term effects, but I wonder about long term effects..who knows..?
I think it's funny when I see people at the gas station with expensive Lexus' putting in the 'cheapest' gas...whether it makes a difference or not - that's debatable..but i just find it funny..they're all about 'having an expensive car'..but prolly don't know/care much about it.
Us Honda guys and and car enthusiast with cheaper cars take better care than the next schmoe with a $80k bimmer..ha
btw, I use 87 on my 92 vx (d15z1)..i used to use 89 the first three years i had it..but switched to 87 the past 2.5 or so years i've had it..no difference..same awesome MPG. I'll have to use 91+ plus octane booster on my SW20..boo ya
