JUST PUT 10$ OF 87(octane) IN MY BABY?!?!?!?!?!?1

[yeti-gvr4]

So my GF's aunt gave me 10$ on her debit card, she pumped it i stood there and watched her do it and didnt realize till my girl asked after "your car cant take 87 right?!?!?!"

So i was freaking out and was driving easy had to boost once or twice and didnt notice any issues?

Could the 1/16 of my tank of 91 still be getting used cause i still have the majority of the 87 in my car?

I have my boost gauge hooked up to read the knock sensor and didnt get any knock, im also only running 10psi and have 1000cc injectors so could my tune just be so conservative it just works??

That's like 2.5 gallons.

Fill it up with premium and you'll never notice.

 

[yeti-gvr4]

You dont think il make a big tank of 90 octane
but besides that i dont have $ to do that with but if i do see any problems i will fill the gas tank asap

 

[dondmon96]

Just stay out of the boost and it'll be fine. If you don't have the money to fill it up with 91 you probably shouldn't be racing around. But California gas anyways......nevermind

 

[bastarddsm]

Just drive the piece of shit. Unless it's set on kill it'll never hurt it.

 

[Zdrummer15]

If you can't afford a tank of gas, you should probably park your car. If something would break, you'd be stranded with no way to pay to get it towed or to fix it. Besides, $10 worth of gas isn't going to get you far.

Nobody cares about your opinion of his car.

And to the OP,
Just drive it modestly and when you run the tank low, fill it with 91 and you'll be good.

 

[Boostinsideways]

Just fill it with 91 or 93 and pour a half bottle of stp octane booster before you fill it.

Or just stay off boost.

 

[GsxEcutioner]

California isnt good with anything above 91 unless your pumping E-85 which I would say put a few more gallons of 91 and then a gallon of E-85.... Honestly thats what i would do.

It aint gonna blow up. do the 91 trick and you can quit the whining.

 

[Gysgt Guy]

WTF is up with all the negativity?!?! Y'all act like he's a homeless guy driving a civic!

Just like everyone else said...put in some higher octane and wait for the next fill up!

!!!ONE!!!111!!ONE

seriously, calm down. As mentioned stay out of the high ignition advance part of the map. Take some extra cigarette or booze money (or whatever vice you have) and use it for some premium.

Youll be fine, I wouldnt worry about it.

 

[LandoAWD]

Worried? Keep a logger running and watch knock, or if you have Link; Knock CEL.

If I was running 10psi, I'd run nothing but 87.

Ok first off rambo, dont sit there and think any one would hesitate to say any of that to your face. Next, its 87 octane on 10psi with a 1000cc injector. You are getting plenty of fuel in there. Unless your at 20psi or running high compression you really dont need premium. Your talking about all this crap you have done to this car as if it at all would impress anyone, and all things considered, if you knew anything about cars and how an engine works and the finer points of octane and why to run what fuels you would not have to ask such questions. Your in cali, 10 bux is like what 2 maybe 3 gallons? I would burn thru that on a stock setup by the end of the day, let alone any kind of tuned setup where I would actually utilize something like a 1000cc injector set. Your panic'd over nothing. The guy I bought my 91 tsi from ran low grade fuel at best and was boosting nearly 20psi. Not good, and likely knocked more than once, but the car ran as long as you didnt drive it like a D bag. Do some research as to why you need to run what fuel and the reasons why before you panic again. Google is a powerful tool, so use it.

Id bet atleast half of the people would not say anything if they werent behind a computer.

My '99 RS takes 87 octane. We have 93 and higher octane available here in RI, so my '99 GSX gets spoiled with 93. We even have 101 in a few locations but it's very high ($7-10/gallon) Expensive, but if you can afford to buy a GSX, you obviously can afford to own it! Plus I use boost often to swerve out of the way of slow traffic or crappy drivers. So it's worth it to me because I use it all the time.

Invest in a boost controller and set it to a very low boost setting or just turn it off. Buy a 2nd car that is gas friendly and a standard transmission. BTW, NEVER let a girl do anything to/with your car! It will bite you in the ass everytime...

If you are worried about gas and your driving a turbo car of any kind, or even a higher performance vehicle, you are wasting a shitload of money!

 

[ExpresS]

siphon that 87 out RIGHT NOW!









jk.

 

[g4ebguy90]

Just don't floor it till you put some higher octane in.

Your turbo car really isn't affected by octane grade until it actually boosts pretty much.

87=crankwalk

Jk

You'll be fine Nancy.

bubby of mine lent his evo to his chick... she totaled it. TOTALED!

 

[bastarddsm]

Why is this thread still going?

 

[DSM1G90]

My '99 RS takes 87 octane

... 'cause, it's an NT420A .. like a NT 4G37, 4G63..chev, ford, chrysler v6 .. uses regular.

Prob by now that the OP has taken care of his 2.4G of 87 problem and is running fine.
