Long story short, I own a 92’ 240sx Coupe with a Sr20det in it. Its fairly stock except the swap and its gutted (everything behind the two front seats). Ive been putting in 89 octane in it since I bought it in May, and tongiht I decided to put in some 94 with the octane booster you would get at crappy tire. I ran the tank practially dry and put about 9 liters of gas in with the octane boost. HOLY SH1T it made a HUGE difference in performance, my car has never ever pulled that hard! Man I love 240’s!!! I just had to tell someone, Ive been jumpy as hell for the last hour or so! 😉 ---

Why the hell would you ever run on 89 in the first place ---

ROTFLMAO 89?! Do you hear door knocks on your engine’s windows and doors. Putting low octane in a turbo car is like drinking dirty water and asking why you’re still thirsty or getting sick. ---

Can you put 91 in a stock SR or do you have to put 94? I know it’s not like this for ALL turbo cars because my friend has an older saab turbo and he puts 87 on it that’s what it says in the manual I think. Also, would it do damage to teh engine to put 89 in it or just make it run shittier ? ---

it will only be a difference of $2-3 every time you put gas in your car… if you can’t afford this then i suggest a bicycle, it will probably be more reliable ---
