toyotasuprauk Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Make sure the air filter is clean, and the cars not overdue any service items. Do you have any mods? Use 95 Ron not Super unleaded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christian Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 De-cat it. Better MPG and better performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ryangordon86 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I was told always to use optimax, as 95 Ron isnt good for the jap engines, is this true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 NEVER use 95 RON! Why? Its an SZ so he's not running mad combustion pressures or temperatures. I've put 95RON in my SZ ever since I bought it. No problems at all. Definately a no-no for turbo cars, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b_have Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Ooops, didn't notice it was SZ, although for the sake of a few coppers per litre i still wouldn't use it. Doesn't the SZ have timing trim bouncing off the knock sensors? If so, should perform better with opti. Moreso at the low end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitesupraboy2 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Tesco stuff, then when its a meet (though forgot for last one) i put in Optimax and reset ECU, i notice difference while ECU working it all out, but no point really its minimal gain for the money.
