Engine catastrophe,

But serious note, Datalogs from my car with 97 and 99ron, the difference was dramatic, timing was being pulled all across the cylinders, where 99ron it reduced it to safe levels.

Would you be on WOT @ 95 ron fuel with  a 99ron map ? Good luck.

The ECU will retard timing to safe levels, its perfectly fine to run a mapped car on 95, but you won't be getting the best performance out of it.

Would you say this is safe then ?



thats with 97 ron.

Erm no!!

You have a lot of sustained timing pull over 5 on cylinder 1&4 for nearly the entire rev range. That's not good!

^ Exactly. My car is mapped for 99 ron and not 97 ron. Just shows you the timing are being pulled for putting the wrong grade of fuel in.

Happy  :driver:

I was referring to someone with a stage 1 (read back the thread) map not a stage 2+ balls out map.

If he has to put in a tank of 95 then its not gonna wreck his engine.

Ive put in 95 before on my stage 1 ed30.. and its still going strong today (i use 99ron 99% of the time)

You highlighted my comment Rich, so i assumed you was referring to my comment i.e stage2+.

I think we need a data log 95 97 99ron for stage1 revo map :)
