Ron 95 vs. 97 on boosted rides....

[stutzedward]

I've been refueling 97 since fuel price became cheaper and the difference is pretty noticeable especially peak boost. Higher ron is always good for turbo cars.

Anyone else?

Brother, as the boost goes up, so does the compression. This is where the higher Ron is better and works well.

totally agree....boosted ride but not trek

on my scooby there is noticeable gain (altough mine had been detuned to suits ron95..but still yield better butt-sensor method torque and calculated mileage)

Yup that's for sure. So I assume most turbo junkies fuel 97 now.

Yup, I do too. Only when at one time the price was too great a difference I use Ron95 but add additives. Of course working additives and must be below the price difference.
The moment the difference was close already back to 97....

For me, using Ron95 by itself cannot. Will knock after 4.5k rpm.....

I don't get knocks oftenly even on hot afternoons. The reason is because during those hot afternoons, my car is usually stucked in jams, hahaha....

Well, when the ambiance is cool, your car will naturally be more powerful because the air sucked in for combustion is more dense with healthy oxygen. The cooler, the better. That is why cold air intake and heat shield are used. Intercooler is also used for the same reason.

That is why using open pod filter is really bad for hot weather environments. But when the road is clear and the weather is cool, your open pod will sing happily. :)
