If it runs colder on 97 or 100 then it could be knocking all these while.
Well to be honest, my temp has never been very stable since day 1, i blame it on the engine bay area, not enough clearance for all the hot air to escape. Even with RON97 and above, occasionally on hard drive, i can still see temperature gauge creep past middle alittle bit. Once fan kicks in, it will return back to so called normal temp.

Oh tall gearing, no wonder!

I bought from Lazada/Shoppee. Supposedly can increase ron by as much as 3 numbers (up to 30 points), so theoretically similar to 97-98? So far I tested no knocking even on full boost at red line.
I just bought too on Lazada. 3 bottles, one for each of my fleet.

The tall gearing is nice for fuel economy but kills abit low end performance, my 3rd gear at 6500 rpm is already 180 km/h.

I just bought 6 from Shopee, around rm12/btl.

Wah very tall, even taller than my mark x stock gearing.

The engine has no problem running on RON95, no vibration and no knocking even at 6.5k high rev.

I think thanks to the final drive, when i am cruising at 120km/h or below, my RPM is about 2.5-2.7k. Now i am gonna figure out how to rid of the droning sound !
My VR also can run on Ron95 but Petron and BHP. Once put Shell in, it coughs and splutter.....lol
Have been filling Petron 95, 97 and 100, but seems 95 easier to start....:dontknow:

Thats weird, all my cars run fine on Shell 95, since i don’t have to pay for it, i have been using Shell RON95 consecutively for 2 years with no issue. Lets see how the Bardhal works on the 1jz.

Show me to the dark side ~
the quiet side la. All my exhaust setup done have been quiet without power loss. So if you're the type who likes to announce you've arrived 4 blocks away, then my setup may not be for you. hahahah

Bro i want to quiet down to 90% close to stock sound. Currently i only have a straight flow resonator, and straight flow Fujitsubo muffler. According to the modder, this setup is good for current engine setup. My front and mid section exhaust pipe = 2.5", then joined up with 3" rear muffler.

Long ago I tried Shell Ron 97, not good result. Immediately feel under powered. Lately tried 95, really struggle....lol
