i am going to the track either today or in two weeks...now i am running the 93 performance tune from bamachips....would i benifit to put two or three gallons of 110octane into my tank that has 93 or would i just be wasting my money....

 

Where the heck are you getting 110 octane?? And how much is it?

 

You would be wasting your money. 93 octane will be all you need with your tune.

 

110 race gas? You catalytic converters and O2 sensors (all 4 of them!) won't like it one bit. You might want to price a pair of cats and 4 sensors to see if you can afford the gas...

It probably won't damage the car right away, but over time the lead will build up on the sensor cells and the convert until they are not operational (enough) and you ECU pops a code...

 

Unless you somehow increased your compression ratio to about 14:1, you don't need (or want) 110 octane fuel.

 

110 octane fuel is leaded, your car isn't configured to handle it

 

ok guys it`s good to know stuff like this...thanks for the info...i dont want to mess my car up either ..

 

you can still buy 100 - 104 octain unleaded $5.00/gallon

 

Not all race gas has lead in it. There are several speed shops that sell various levels of octane, with or without lead.

For example:
BP CSP is one of the highest octane, oxygenated unleaded fuels available. Spec Fuel for high compression, fuel-injected Toyota-Atlantic North America Series. Street legal in most states.

• Color: Yellow
• Oxygenated: Yes
• Research Octane: 108


But, it is a waste of money with a 93 octane tune.

 

Hatchman,

That 108 Research grade gas is only about 103 in the "Real" world USA (aka: (Research + Motor) / 2 rating method that is used at the pump). Still good gas, but as good as "108" sounds when you compare it to your "normal" 93 pump gas.
