If i used this with the addition of premium gas would it be fine on my stock 92 si....Just a quick question... Thanks in advance

 

sure, some people say it dosent work, i think it does. my car acts like it is on crack. maybe its just a good placebo effect.

thanks for the quick reply

 

The number one myth concerning gasoline is that the higher the octane rating the more power contained in the fuel. This is 100% absolute crap. Octane rating is a measure of a fuels resistance to autoignition (detonation). Adding octane boost to your gas will do nothing but plug up your cat due to some of the additives in it. Save your money.

thanks for your opionion...i will think it over now

 

Yup, you cant just add a tank of 100 octane and expect an increase of XX amount of HP. You have to make a few changes to be able to take advantage of the higher octane.

But IMO I have heard of quite a few people saying that octane booster is pretty much useless, especialy on a stock or lightly modded car. If you wanna get a tank of 100+ octane just mix in some Toluene or Xylene along with some Marvels Mystery Oil (for lubrication).

check out this link to get the proper formula on how to figure out what mix you need to get 1XX amount of octane. But just for reference 5 gallons of Toluene averages $35, while a 50 gallon drum is about $450 (in my area anyways).

I ONLY buy the NOS kind, from my local Checker Auto parts store

 

fyi, octane booster does not work, when it says it will add 3 points to your octane rating, it's proven to be .3 and not a full point, if you want a higher octane, try mixiing toluene with your octane, also, do a search, i answered this question about 2-3 months ago

 

octane boost has its plus and minuses, and yes octane ratings are raised ...

 

Sorry but it is not an opinion, it is a fact.

Just don't think you can use 87 in a DOHC VTEC and keep your power. You run a lower octane, the ECU will notice the slight knock and retard your timing to compensate, which will cause a loss of HP

 

yup, the only time U need higher octain is if your getting knock/detination. If your not getting knock, then it will do NOTHING for your HP!!!!!! If your using 92+ octane then your not getting knock anyway (unless your FI or got new high compression pistons).

Trust me there has been studdies on this, you gian no HP!

 

no point, unless you wanna look like u got sum boost under the hood by pouring that crap in at the gas station.

 

save your money, that's absoulte crap
