Revo Stage 1, 2 & 2+ on 97 RON?

(1/3) > >>

George:
Hi guys!

When I eventually find the right Edition 30 my end goal will be to have it Revo'd to Stage 2+. The only thing bugging me is 99 RON fuel is very hard to get hold of near me, and the best I can get is Jet 97 Ron. As long as this was in the tank when the car was mapped would it run ok? What sort of BHP or Torque would I be missing out on by not using 99 RON?

Thanks

George

an option alot of americans and a few on here have done is to install water methanol injection.  The methonal gives the same effect you would have from using much higher octane fuel, whilst the water gives you additional cooling.  so in essence you wouldnt lose any power at all

George:
Yea I've heard and seen water/meth being used before but I'm not a fan of it, too many stories of blocked nozzles etc. To be honest I'd rather be a little down on power rather than have something else to worry about.

I'd also like to know this - more specifically the difference between using 97 and 99 on Stage 1.

The nearest Tesco 99 station is nearly 6 miles away from me and my daily commute so it's not really feasable for me to use it! :sad1:

George:
I used to have a supercharged Cooper S with a smaller pulley and therefore running more boost which required 99 octane. My local Tesco garage doesn't offer 99 octane and the nearest Shell is 12 miles away, very frustrating making the 24 mile round trip, especially when they have run out!

Even my nearest 97 octane retailer is 11 miles away, but I'm there most weekends so I'd just brim the tank each weekend no matter what I already had in there.

All depending on what Revo can offer based on 97 octane fuel?
