JDM K20a Engine Swap (higher octane req'd?)
I just wanted to do that as a title, before I get flamed for the swap title. I searched but couldn't find anything on having to use higher octane(100+) fuel in this engine. I heard somewhere that it would need that to even run. Does anyone know if it's true. Please shed some light on this. Thanks.

Rep Power: 0 I'm pretty sure that premium in your area would work. Here in the united states we take the average of research and motor octane, which gives a fuel's octane rating. I'm pretty sure that in japan they rate it only by one or the other, which is usually a much higher number than the average we use.

I think you only need to worry about running higher octane if you are getting the Type R engine. The S should be same as any rsx in the states.
