Hey forum whats up need you guy's help again. Let me explain I was reading in the forum where the minimum ron you should put in your car is 95, but where I live the max we have is 91:rant:!!! I kno that sucks right so I wanted to know. If it would be all right to add a bottle of octane booster to my tank everytime I full up to compensate for the sh*&&y fuel?

hey man,

You'd seriously be risking it i think, with that high boost and low octane,

I'd get it tuned down for 91 and drop the boost maybe

Because if you've got it as an import from Japan, it'll most probably be tuned to 98 or higher

Well I got it stock as a rock and been on 91 octane for a year now the boost has been up to 10 psi for about that long as well and have not had any issues thus far just wanted to take precautions as i want my ride to last but want it to perform as well.

where the hell do you live???

The Bahamas man! Whats also so funny is that gas is like 5 dollars a gallon and thats the type sh&% they have my car running on.

are there many skylines there??

Yea there a few with basic mods fmic, full exhaust, pod maybe a couple with turbo upgrades but not many.

get the neo tuned to run on 91. it will mean a bit less timing, but still same boost and safer power. hope they have tuners there lol

Thats another prob if there are any tuners I don't know or have heard of any. Yea it sux I know need help with that too.

who tuned your neo before? cause you'd want to have it tuned asap to run on 91 to pro long the life of your engine.

Tuned!!!!! Ha it was never tuned just installed. I can't even find a dyno over here and since I have been apart of this forum I have learned alot bout the skyline and it upsets me so, that I cant build a decent one and get it to its full potential cause there is no place to tune. I see these other skylines around here with the black smoke spewing out of their exhaust and I kno its because they aren't tunned properly. There thinkin that there car is the fastest thing on the island because they upgraded their turbo, exhaust,air filter and intercooler not knowin that an aftermarket ecu with a tune would give them heaps more. I am here learnin and reading up on mine and want so badly to get the most out of it but know that I cant because there is no place to tune and I don't have the know how or the tools to do it.So I guess Ill just have to mod within limits of the stock ecu!!!!!!!! THAT BLOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
