Mon, 26 January 2004 10:32 I remember the first day I got my car - I decided to give my brother a shot at it - I told him not to go too harsh because I hadn't had the chance to make sure that the car could take punishment. First thing he does is bounce the prick off the redline (7200ish) as he takes off! ST162's have a fuel-injector cut-out, meaning that once you hit 7200ish, it'll just 'stay' at those revs and won't allow the engine to go any higher. It might 'bounce off' a little bit, but it's not as harsh as the older ignition cut-out method that cars used to have (teehee). The 3S-FE is horribly un-revvy, but it still should red-line at about 6500 (afaik). Also - in regards to the pinging. My engine doesn't ping at all, even on the hottest of days up the steepest hills. However, I took to putting in BP Ultimate 98 anyway just for the extra security...also - I'm planning to buy some high compression pistons one day. In my experience Optimax and Ultimate 98 are the best 98 octane fuels. Mobile stuff tends to be a bit hit and miss in regards to RON. I've seen an engine dyno-tuned on that stuff perform great on one batch then ping and over heat like hell with the next... [Updated on: Mon, 26 January 2004 10:36] [Report message to a moderator]
