Aveo 1.4L 16V DOHC likes higher grade gas

[Genie47]

OK. It was cold morning at 1+am. I was on the AYE. The coast was clear. I dropped to 4th. Floored her and she went like a hare being pursued by a coyote. 90....100....120...130.140.150.160.170. My Starlet friends from behind saw in awe what a 16V engine can do at the high end.

 

No vibrations that I experienced on the E3 with RON92 gas. What I have in my tank is Petronas Primax which is a RON97 gas.

 

So those guys contemplating to go up north to "clear carbon", run her around here until the tank reaches "E". Fill her up with RON98 gas before Woodlands Checkpoint. Enjoy the power!

 

If you don't want this, I suggest you stick to 100 because I feel the vibrations at 120 as well with RON92 gas.

So you are swtiching over to RON 95 and above??

[Genie47]

No point lah! In SG, you hit those speeds to use your high end power will sure attract a lot of termites. Sticking to RON92 unless going up north again. Just use up the previous tank until it nearly empties.

 

But this means something else. DO NOT PUT A CAI on the Aveo 1.4L. The high end will improve but the already poor low end will suffer. Unless there is an available 4-2-1 header installed, no point putting in the CAI.

 

Do I have the intention to install CAI and 4-2-1 headers? Nope. I intend to use forced induction .

I hit 8k mileage already. What is 60k?

[DarkLord]

At least another 1.5 years?

[DarkLord]

Check and let me know k?? With the new job, I want to focus my financial status before getting new car! 8mths might be just what I need in the mean time!

Can be done. Just have to do it properly, no crazy overboost ideas.
