[chinozie]

As Salam and good day...

1) How may of 20V enthusiast here using RON95 and how was it ?
2) How's the FC comparable to RON97
3) How's the power output comparable to RON97

Due to crazy and unacceptable price of RON97...
many asked me...is it ok ? can it be done ? will it damage the engine ?

The answer is yes...
with the right setup, right tuning, the right mechanic...yes it can be done !!!

Feel free to share your experience...

20v designed to be run with RON100.. where 2 get that???

anywayz, they run fine with RON95..

if u ask me.. i use RON95 for everyday use & RON97 if my right foot is itchy.. hehehe

my conclusion,

RON95 = a lil less power.. juz a lil

RON97 = a lil more power.. little only

Once tune to run on RON95...then put in RON97...idling or some setup will "lari" one...
it also depends on your engine healthiness ...

I enjoy using Ron95. Not much different with Ron97.
But I know that 2 of my cylinder already lost of compression.
Huhu.

Will try again after my engine overhaul.

any proven.. he he got diff when using ron 95/97...(based on feeling)
let dyno & see result..he he

ron 95 = economy drive but need piggy to tune the air fuel mixture
ron 97= can feel the combustion more power than 95.. but not economical at all.. hahaha

I guess i had use ron95 for more than a year, first it is o.k for my car,
but lately ....everytime i fill my car with ron95..my engine lights will blink...and the car loose much of its accelerations power.
when i fill it back with ron97 the engine lights still blink, but after a while it will off.
Due to economic factor i have no choice but to use back ron95, and until today, i drive my car with the engine lights blinking..

i've been using ron95 for a while now...so far not much noticable difference...feels more economical than ron97 IMHO...

 

[tHrottle power]

ever since the launch of RON 95, i ve using it on my BT oredi....once in a while I will pamper it with RON97. I ve used E-Manage to tune the AFR n ignition timing. So far, no complaint...the only dif is that ron95 has lower pick-up power(acceleration). Lesser kick, yet that significant @ me. As my AE111 has pass 200k km, so i ve also change to a new O2 sensor.

Should be no problem,most of 20v owner use RON95

Engine light blinking? better start saving some money for new ECU

using it since the 1st day of RON 95 in market. during initial pump, definitely no difference since RON 97 left over still in the tank. one significant impact - engine knocking during hard pressed but then the ecu will do adjustment to reduce the knocking. for sure we need a good & healthy ecu to re-adjust and learn ron 95.

in term of power - once your car is regularly pumped with ron 95, it will make no different if you pump ron 97. just from my experience. (SVT 2nd Gen). for daily use - i still manage to get 10km+/liter.

Thanks for the updates guys...

keep them coming...

Either using RON95 or 97, will not cause check light to blink.
Check light blinking means your ECU is faulty.
Have it check/replace/rebuilt immediately before it stall your car in the highway.
Not to mention about the towing cost incurs, it will definitely endanger to driver and passenger's life.

Comparing Petronas RON95 xtra and Shell V-power 97 in my BT ride...

RON 95 gives lots of knocking even though at 1st gear. Need to push up the RPM before release the clutch in order to get rid of the anoying click click sound. Poor acceleration and feel like engine is running rough at 4000~8000rpm. However, surprisingly FC is slightly better than 97 (~430km vs ~400km full tank).

for my case, the knocking sound is more quiet when I use RON 95. When I use RON 97, knocking sound is quite loud. Does it mean if those people use RON 100 in Japan, the knocking sound is totally gone?

At 1st i thought the fuel quality may contribute to the knocking sound.How can we ger rid of this knocking sound (sounded like typewriter, or diesel engine, tak tak tak tak....never ending sound) ??? I find it rather irritating. Anyone has experienced / know how to get rid of that sound?

I'm assuming the diesel sound appears during engine idling too...not during acceleration...
If do...that particular sound is well known among 20V enthusiast...
It's the sound of VVT pulley...
