My Rs200 Altezza

[Mr Morse]

15 litres of Toluene (RON = 122) each tank will do the trick :D

Sorry dont sound to mean like a total noob but whats mr morse talkin about? What is RON and is it just a nick name for Unleaded 95? There is a good Shell down the road from me, ill check it out tommorrow and see are they still stocking V-Power

I'm talking about mixing race juice....

RON = Reasearch Octane Number

Engines that breathe air work better with a higher grade fuel......WWII fighters were gassed with 150 RON juce

ok so where can i get this RON juice? and do u have to use it on a continuous basis or can yo u just stick it in 4 instant power boost. Dont really know much about different fuel types, Goin from a civic 1.4 to a RS200 so ill have to start researching more to get the most out of my baby!!

Not sure where sells it round you but over here shell still do optimax(about 98 RON) soon to be replaced by V-power, BP have a version 'ultimte' but not as good as optimax, also some supermarket chains sell super unleaded i.e sainsburys , tesco etc. If you can afford it its best to run purely on the best grade super unleaded you can for most Jap imports, i know i used optimax in my skyline and if i used anything else, decrease in power was noticeable, same with the Evo, using the higher grade petrol keeps the engine and Ecu sweet as well as preventing DET!!!!

Hi Noel that intake sounds great did you fit it yourself? If so what a big job or fairly straight-forward "bolt here", "insert A into pipe C" or more than that?

Do you have to get the ECU settings or anything like changed after you install the kit because of the more air coming into the engine?

Another quick question, what is that little aerial thing you have on your dash to the right of your steering wheel? i noticed it on your video clip

Ya it' sounds good alright but might sound a little different if you have a manual?

Very easy to fit , half hour job....

Nah i didn't get anything adjusted engine wise as the MAF sensor should look after that.... To be totally honest the car was a little boggyer off the line but there is definitely more ooomph in 3rd... noise alone does it for me....

Aerial thingy is for the remote starter.... another prezzie from japan, came with the car..... I find it great on cold mornings , start the car from inside the house while having breakfast then when you go out 10 Min's later it's all nice and cosy and the engine has heated up too so all gears are available ( auto-box won't let you select 2nd if she's cold)...... :winky:

Ye mines a manual, i'm sure it wil sound very similar. I should have the car tommorrow just getting it registered. I was going to get the garage to NCT it but ill have to wait 3 weeks for a slot. No way i could wait that long! so ill just go and sit at one of the test centres and wait for a cancellation. No point in putting the filter on before the NCT.... one reason less for them too fail my baby!!

ill post up a clip too when i get mine installed. see if there is a difference!

On the same note on the Taka Kaira site it recommends that you purchase the Super AFC-2 when you but a filter but didn't know that sensor could handle teh difference in airflow. Cheers Noel
