octane and Boost

Post by blacksi76 »

I have a fully built H22 turbo setup ( S300 ) in my 2000 Honda Civic, and its going in to be tuned, How much boost can I run on 95 octane without having to worry about detonation?I am running T1 1000cc injectors, 8.5:1 compression, Garrett GT3076R turbo and a lovefab tubular manifold....

It's not mainly about how much boost can the engine handle, it's about how much horsepower it can take. Take in fact also as to how much boost can a specific turbo put out before it's out of it's range. A good tuner should explain all this before tuning your setup, and it's a good setup by the way. Not too sure how much power can the stock sleeves handle(if they're stock).

Tony is the man rest assures he will make asmuch as possible withyour setup! Race gas will be your best bet but I have made 500whp on pump gas builds.

Yeah we have 91 here at our local gas stations, but I am a Dealer for Torco Race fuels so I was gonna run 95octane when I get it tuned, I was hoping to run 20lbs of boost, so I am just curious how much power I can make with my setup on 95 octane..
