Detonation

I run my sr20 on 98 octane fuel and have timing set at 19 degrees with no problems yet.
Has anyone run cars with this timing. Does anyone think it will cause detonation:confused:

98 should be plenty enough :D

I used to run 19 BTDC before I put in my S3 cams. I ran a 92 gas and had no problems. Keep in mind that North American octane is an average of 'research' and 'motor' or something like that. New Zealand uses just one or the other.

Cool I shouldn't have many problems then.
I know "don't let the bastards wear you down" but what is the other one?

:eek: I'm actually pretty impressed. Here I thought I was being clever. The other one is "The last argument of kings" (engraved on French cannon by order of Louis XIV.)

Thats quite deep. Are you fond of random Latin phrases'. Here's one: "castigat ridendo mores" You work it out

Well not quite random. I read something about Ultima ratio regum in the last book I read and though it was pretty cool. While I was researching it I ran across the 'bastards' one and thought it was really cool!

BTW: "castigat ridendo mores" = torment stupidity through laughter.

I love it! :D

Something like that! What are the stars on the left by the user names, are they to do with no. of posts?

You are going to end up with a page full of phrase's:
Ave. Hic adsum ad tesseras pontificis maximi Colosseo Maximo tollendas.

Only if they are cool enough! While that one is cool I'll have to draw the line somewhere. :D

Yes I know what it means but I'll leave the suprise for anyone else that wants to figure it out.
