i need to know what octane fuel am i supposed to use on my setup, its a b18b block with a b16 head.

 

I use regular for daily driven then shoot up Super when its race time

 

i would use premium if i were you. its a lot better for your engine. i remember reading it on howstuffworks.com that the higher octane is a lot better for vtec engines since they rev so high. i know its expensive but its your best bet.

 

premium for vtec

 

yea thats what i though cause i got a **** load of engine work.

But this is what happened I got the car and it had like a half tank of gas and i drove it to the 1/4 tank mark then i put in 89 octane and drove fine. Now yesterday I notice my tank was on the "E" mark so I pull up to the gas station and put in 89 octane and like 10 minutes down the road the car started hesitating and the idle went down then jumped back up. So I was like what the ....? So i just wanted to know if it could be because of the fuel. This suck that i gotta spend $2.50
a gallon for fuel, i guess less driving for me
Thanks

why use 89 octane

 

89 is cheaper and i always used to put 89 in my 94 ex so i didn't think it would make a difference

lsvtec cn be a big diff than a d16. dont be cheap.

 

use DIESEL you will have some cool black smoke,and it adds 20 hp to the wheel(lol)

 

I always use 93, it seems that when I put anything else (in da Teg or my Truck) they run like ****!!
