Expect about 7 to 10% better fuel economy on a long trip and is why 98RON is worth the extra 4% premium over 91RON

this also means you get more energy...

if the rate of consumption is the same (ie WOT), and the petrol contains more energy per volume, then you get more pwer... :)

Correct.

i just found some good info about this for d-series... (how to do)

i advanced my timing last week end.. made a HUGE difference.. considering it was set at 14degrees hehe
i went to 18deg and now the car screams
i think i had really noticeable gains coz i was drivng my car around retarded for the last 10 months..
on the track i managed to shave approx 3.5 secs off my 0-160 time (from 24 secs to about 20.5) and about 0.5 secs off my 0-100 (from low 8's to high 7's)

so many pros and cons....but a good read i must say...

so on a dc2r is the standard timing at 16 degress? can someone please confirm?

and if so i advance the timing...what should i advance it to?? 18 degress? (i am running on 98 RON)

thanks

oh and my aim is top end power..

interesting read here

there is a huge difference between a tuned stock b16a and untuned stock b16a

the 3 timing marks are 14,16,18deg respectively from memory
