theres a few guys here running k20a's in there cars, and the K20A is designed to run on 100octane fuel so its not really an issue.

the highest we can get here is 98octane, therefore leaving a JDM spec k20 out of the question, as the JDM motor will have different compression and tuning and will probably be damaged if forced to run on 98ron

one can of course buy 98ron and mix it with some other substance(cant remember from chemistry) and achieve a 110 octane petrol but that will be a very expensive and bs option

of course, krogoth, you forgot to take into account RB20DET, RB25DET, RB26DETT, SR20DET, 4G63's from Japan that all seem to have NO problem running on optimax after they've been imported, why shouldn't a K20A honda?

I mean, its not like there's boost being crammed into it.

well, u have a point

but the JDM spec DC5R came with around 160kw, and the AUDM DC5R came with 147kw i think, and thats lower coz we dont have 100ron here

sure ull get away with it, i dunno, i just thought coz honda released an engine with a lower power output here coz of the fuel, ud think it woodnt be wise to bring a JDM engine and run it on aussie fuel

but then as u mentioned all the other nissan engines u mentioned above can run on our fuel no problem and they turbo not NA, meh, zomg, lol, i got ownd

We do have 100ron on pump, Optimax Extreme. And u can always buy octane additive

there were more reasons we got the 147kw motor than just fuel quality, cost being one as to why we didn't get full jdm spec.

the engine just has to be tuned to run on lower grade fuel, guys in the states do these swaps and they have even worse fuel that we do, their premium is like 91ron or something like that.
