this was asked and didnt seem to be answerd.

i know hondata is in CA. and you guys im pretty sure only get 91 Octance. here in NJ and most of the USA people have 93 and some places 94 octane at the pumps. i am fortunate enough to have access to 94 octane at about 2.14 a gallon here in NJ.

i know the ECU's are tuned/flashed for 91 octane.

my question is... running 93 octane or even 94.. will this help out the a/f problem with running lean, or would it make it worse? or have no effect at all what so ever

thank you Hondata
Nick

I do not work at hondata.

Nope -- shouldn't change a/f.

ok then. running lean causes the engine to get hotter/run hotter, and since the k20 runs hotter to begin with, and running lean can cause detonation, 94 octane wouldnt hurt, im assuming that getting a better radiator, and lower thermostat and thermo-switch to help cool things better, wouldnt be a bad idea either. :roll:

i dont really care lol.
im getting the flash, even with the comptech race header. im not at the point where i need kpro yet. but very close in the future
