Can BT 20V use RON95?

[chinozie]

Guys...

what say you ?


4AGE 20V Compresion ratio :

Silvertop - 10.5:1
Blacktop - 11:1

Then found out some info on Honda Malaysia page , stated "The new RON95 fuel is compatible with all Honda models except for Civic Type R, of which RON97 is recommended."

Search the page and found out this :

Civic 1.8 - 10.5:1 (RON 95 Compatible)
Civic 2.0 - 9.6:1 (bore lebih besar dari 1.8 ) (RON 95 Compatible)
Civic Type R 11.7:1 (RON 97 Recommended)

Perhaps we should make a list of stations with 97?

I've pumped a tank full up to fuel filling cap of RON95 right from near empty at Rawang Northbound RSA and cost me about RM110. Then drive around 130-140km/h to my village in KEDAH, near Thailand border and refilled again with RON95 up to fuel cap. The distance was 420km. The fuel only cost me about RM53.34. No knocking or what so ever even with 3 persons and a trunk full of bags, barang raya. FYI.. my Blacktop 20V engine was overhauled about two months ago, ported and polished, crank balancing, use thicker metal head gasket (1.2mm). Very puas hati laa... like new engine.

Bro I didnt quite understand your post. You mean you pumped RM110 at Rawang then until reach Kedah you refilled again full tank (another RM110 or refill RM50?) So you mean Rawang to Kedah only used up about half tank? :hmmmm:

Meaning RM50-60 can travel 400km? Thats amazing! About 14km/l!

Also, why would you use thicker metal head gasket for NA engine? Usually thick MGH is used on NA engine if only when running hi-comp piston or skimmed head. Otherwise, thicker MGH is suited for turbo application.

my BT used to knock when want to rev higher even on ron97...kekke... how to use ron95 leh!?

 

[linkeong]

Whats wrong with 14km/L? I can achieve that during highway travel also
