I have a 95 3sgte that will be going into my car very soon and I was wondering what the max boost pressure is that the engine can run on. I though I saw somewhere that you can run the engine on 15psi comfortably and that is the max boost, but maybe I am wrong. Also is it safe to run the engine on 93 octane or do you have to use 103?

Depends on your cooling. What kind of intercooler are you using? The better cooling the more pressure you can run.
I wouldn't use anything but 93. -------------------- |

I wouldn't use anything but 93. you are talking about 93 ron fuel yeh? well the st205s map will be designed for the fuel it has in its native country, so if you have a UK import 95 ron or if its from japan 99 ron. therefore its a REALLY bad idea to run a car like that on a low ron fuel unless you have the map adjusted to take this into account. with 93 ron you will be down on BHP by quite a way too (239BHP for 95 ron and 255bhp for 99 ron, so roughly 4bhp per ron, so between 93 and 103 thats 40bhp! If your stock map thinks its getting 95/97 and you put 93 in your really leaning out your fuel mixture. |
