The swap's almost done and I've got a tank full of 87 octane. What is everyones opinion on running just 6-7psi with the T-VSV capped off.

Of course you can use it. The ECU will compensate for any octane induced knock you get and retard timing. Its not a big deal. Just dont boost hard. Its probably what you want to do anyway for the first several miles. Also, if you have a good intercooler, you might not even get knock response.
BTW, did you actually get the AT working with the 3S? -------------------- QUOTE(lagos @ Jul 10, 2006 - 1:55 PM) [snapback]454118[/snapback] i know your trying to do the right thing for your motor, but this is one of those times where you should just trust the guys who have had their swaps for a while and have done a ton of research into this. |
