I was reading something and read....
Quoted from Kathy Atkins..of Atkins rotary, Unless driving a turbo - use the lowest to mid grade of fuel at a good service station. Here in the Puyallup / Tacoma / Seattle area of Washington state that means Texaco and Chevron. Both of these companies dedicate their expertise in using the min. amount of oxygenate additives and add other chemicals (like Textron) to help the additives burn. If using Supreme or hi octane in a non turbo, the higher octane makes it more difficult to burn all of the fuel allowing for excessive carbon. Turbo or supercharged cars need the slower burning fuels to prevent pinging or knocking which is very hard on the apex seals. .............................. I use the cheap ****...87..cause right now in my area...is about $1.31-$1.35 When I go to the track ..or when I know im gonan go..I run the car down low..beofre i fill and I run 93 thinking it will help me ..BUT from what she is saying it will hurt an N/A engine... Have any of you guys hear of this before?and what do you run? |
kid runs 93 puts some 2stroke oil in at ever filling and injector cleaner too sometimes. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...R#>/mellow.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...O_DIR#>/37.gif

I get the **** free at the dealership I used to work at...and have a nice supply in my tool box..with the chemical that they run in your intake on a vacume line for the induction/intake service which they charge you $100. to do.. I have BG cans of it..I havent used that in a while..and yeah it works..to help burn the carbon..BUT you better be ready to replace or clean your plugs... Im gonna invest some money and buy a air powered/spark plug sand blaster... If you dont knwo what Im talking about..its a little tool/machine..that you hook up a air line too..and put your park plug in it on top..and it cleans the carbon off your plugs..this will save you lots of $$ and helps performance ..I used to do it about once a week when I worked at the dealership..BUT now I do it about once a month... I run Mystery il in my gas..and yes its a mystery..I think it fucks my car up when I run low..it dont want to run right..I think it settles to the bottom ..and dont mix easy in the gas.. |
I use 93 religiosly on the T2. That with a quart of two-stroke every fillup.

Its your choice whether you want to or not. Its recommended but not required. For more info, do a search on "pre-mix" |
Id say most rotary owners use something in there gas (oil additive)
|
pre-mixing is better for the engine it reduces wear https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png

LOL. Well, not the WHOLE quart. I stick with the 1oz : 1 gallon ratio. I wasn't sure how much to use with the OMP still attached, and I think my OMP might be crapping out. There always seems to be air bubbles inside it. |

It's just pulled in by the motor. |

GOD forbid there are people out there that would actually go dump a WHOLE quart into their gas tank without doing anymore research on the subject. |
im my na i origianlly ran it on 93 cuz thats what the guy b4 me told me to use... but cuz of my exhaust leak id get some nasty backfiring... i switched to 87 and now i rarley backfire... gas burns more completely

A N/A rotary is actually much happier on 87 octane than higher.
|
they say 80 octane is ideal for the NA rotary.

The RX-Midget only runs on Amaco 87 octane. I get more power and smother running - and its cheaper.
Best part is when you bring your own fuel to the track and people ask if its CAM2 and you tell them it's 87 https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/smile.png They look at you funny. |
