was reading this and got me thinking. since i dont own or even if i did own the manual for the motor i couldnt read it anyways since i got it from Japan (B16a)...

he kept saying to refer to ur manual, i cant.. my buddy said i should put 92 octane in my motor.. i just want to know what other H-Ter's put in there gas tank, with what set up and such...

anybody know y or y not to put in more octane plz post.. thanks

 

92 is what I put in my b16a2. It does require premium gas.

 

is that what the manual said? should be the same thing for a b16a as to a b16a2

 

I put 93 octane in my B18C1 Swap. I'm pretty sure the GSR manual requires premium gas.

 

Pretty much all of the vtec B series motors require premium from the factory because of the relatively high compression and fairly aggressive ignition timing.

I have ran less in then on road trips with no problems but stop and go traffic with lots of acceleration, I wouldn't chance the detonation.

 

kewl thanks for the replies

 

definatly premium on high compression vtec B motors.

 

Yub yub premium

 

premium.....which is 91 here in Quebec. I ran 93 when i lived in Michigan. I always use the highest octane available for my B16A3.

 

my tuner said that all vtec motor require premium gas. ill go with premium all the way so you can get better performance out out your motor

 

look all cars now days are built to run 87 thats it unless you got somthin that says run 91 because there not goin to tell you to run anything higher cuz its hard to find at a pump gas with more octane, running more octane only has to do with your motors comp ratio

 

o and there is no stock b series motor thats goin to detonate on 87 cuz the comp ratio isnt high enough

 

octane = reduces knock, what are you guys talking about?

think about this, try 87, if you get excessive knock, go up in octane. everyone keeps thinkin octane means the gas turns in to the nectar of the Gods or something, its just refined to REDUCE KNOCK

 

I wish I understood the truth behind octane!

I run premium in my Turbo D. I would run anything else cuz I don't wanna blow my ish up!
