What Gas Should I Use?
#1
I was just wondering if using 87 octane in my 88 Turbo II was ok? Would i be better off using a higher octane to prevent plug fouling? Also what type of plugs should i use for it since i want to change them this week. Thanks!

You want to use 93!!! Not for the plugs but to keep your engine from detonating. All it takes is a ping to blow a seal. The NGK designed for rotaries will do fine. The don't have the hook for the spark the bottom is flat. They are pretty expensive though.

this question is kind of related to his question. anyway, i have an 88 NA and there is really nothing done to it except e-fan, intake, POS pacesetter header. Was wondering what would be the difference in using an 87 versus a 93 octane besides 87 burning cleaner than 93.

Just run mid grade. Not too high, not too low. Actually I'm J/K. That is what I run in my N/A, though. It's what gives me the best performance. Also, I think it depends on what you've done to the engine...
