104 racing fuel

Can you run 104 racing fuel in a stock 93 vr4?

It would be pointless and a serious waste of money.

Higher octane doesn't = more power

The recipe for power is the lowest octane possible without knock (pre-detonation) A stock vr4 can run on 91 octane. Witha boost controller at 15psi, 93 or 94 octane is nice. But 104 octane is completely overkill and worthless, if anything it will cause you to lose power. On top of that, most high octane fuels like htat are leaded which will decrease the lifetime of stuff like your cats and 02 sensors.

So simple answer, yes you can run 104 octane in your vr4, heck you can run 87 octane in your vr4. It's your car, you can run whatever you want in it...but it sure isn't a good idea if you like your car. Stock, stick with 91 octane.

Now when you upgrade your turbos and are running serious boost...then you start shopping around for higher octane fuels.

I dont race or dog my car..Cost to much to replace something I break... 104 is unleaded, i run it in my 71 ss chevelle. anything over 104 in leaded. I just like the smell of it. I just wanted to make sure...

What is the compression ratio on your 71 SS? But yes, otherwise Igovert is right, it would be a waste of money.

Its a power protector, not a power adder, It just stops things like Predetonation from happening when you are running high boost. It would be beneficial IMO to run higher grade pump gas when running 14-15psi but anything above that, then you'll start to look at race and you don't want to run any more than 14psi without supporting mods anyway.......................

where can i get 93?............................................... ............................

gas station? depends on where you live. every station has it here in NY

Colorado And All It Goes To 91

Sunocos in PA have up to 94, everywhere else in PA and NY have up to 93. Some states get screwed and only have up to 91.

get some of this, that will up your octane!!

In general any of that octane booster stuff is crap. While it says it boosts your octane 3 or 4 points or whatever, if you read the fine print, every 'point' that they advertise, is in fact only 1/10th of an octane point. So you are spending $5-$10 on a bottle that is gonna raise your 91 octane gas to 91.4 octane. Not really worth it.
