I got a gas card from work but can only buy 87 oct .

Can I "detune" it to run 87? or just pay for gas

I already got blue in the face and fought for 93 but its not working. I threatened to get a h2 but that didn't work either.

 

PAY FOR THE GAS, Cheapo!

damned stunna

chris - who thinks scott should give ME the gas card

 

just pay for gas

 

you can use the card... if you lower your compression a bit and shift at 3000. lol... not worth it. pay for gas.

 

Fill it up w/ 87 & run octane booster.

Oh, and charge the octane booster on the card as well.

 

maybe. but im driving like 150 + miles a day

I think you have to pull the 2 and 3 plug wires so the "octane" accumulates in the other cylinders ...

 

D15 swap

 

retard the timing on the distributer a few degree's.

 

buy a GEO???

 

Retard the timing and never go into VtaK and you'll be fine.

That's a hell of a price to pay for free gas though...

so if u dont mind me asking...whats wrong with running 87 octane on an R??? i would understand that yes it is a higher quality engine and a higher octane fuel should be used but i dont see what would be wrong with using 87 octane...not like it would have any serious effects on the engine or anything right?

 

knock sensors, premature detonation, etc.

It'll run but not real good or even close to optimally.

 

RUN on 87 octane unleaded and report back to us your findings.

 

are u retarded?

87 will buck like crazy, ping, and ruin ur car

go buy a beater

u run 87 and u dont deserve to own the R

 

Can you put 93 octane in the tank and pay the difference? I think that would be fair. And no I would not run the 87 it will ping like a son of a bitch not to mention the detonation.

 

there's a reason that it says "premium fuel only". i don't want to know the consequences of putting in 87.

I think this is your best solution.

 

Invest in a 55-gallon drum of toluene.

Or run 87 and kiss your ring-lands goodbye.

 

I'd give the gas card to a family member who has a vehicle that can run on 87.

 

i run 87 on mine and its runs perfect, vtec even seems to kick harder

 

how would anyone know what gas you'll be using and why would that part matter? if anything, it should be a set spending limit.. so instead of getting more gallons of 87 for $20, you just get less gallons of 93 and pay for the rest yourself.. that gas card thing doens't make sense.
