Plus i have exposed pod and a/m headers so the car is seeing more flow than stock..
ultimate is better.. straight up.. more expensive but better.. as the saying goes "you get what you pay for" both have been dyno'd in a b16a, optimax pings and ultimate doesnt.. nuff said
I believe you're all wrong. I believe red bull makes your car fly. Little bird told me so. :D
Soo true!Quote:

BP Ultimate pretty much stopped the pinging.....
Shell Optimax still has quite noticable pinging when i put my foot down
Unleaded...........lets just say im too embarrest to drive in public with that amount of pinging!!
Also an interesting fact....I did a lil experiment.....I drove with a light foot with unleaded petrol and got 530 k's off a tank. And then switched to BP Ultimate and got Over 600k's for the tank.
BP ULTIMATE all the way!!
Both are good. I use Shell Optimax normally but if I'm running out of fuel then I get BP Ultimate.
i use bp not only because bp is closer, but also because shell is further away
Shell is bad mmmkay :rolleyes:Quote:

well, i havnt really heard an engine ping when its idling. It Pings when u put ur foot on the gas tho, when the engine is trying to pull. It sounds like a little piece of sand or something being shaken around in an empty tin.
I heard it can be fixed by playing around with the distributer. the pinging sound is the pistons or something, not firing in sync.
Can anybody correct me on this?
Well this thread was about fuel. I'm sure your running one of the 98 Ron fuels if you have a vtec car? If not that also causes pinging.
Also sounds like your timing might be off. If you know how, get a timing gun and adjust the timing to factory settings. The setting is on the underside of the bonnet. Look in the Honda manual i think it tells you how to check the timing. a Timing gun costs around $30 - $200 depending on how good it is. IF you don't want to do it goto a mechanic and ask him to adjust it for you and just watch.
If you don't know what your doing you could stuff up the timing even more and if you engage the vtech while your timing is off so bad you'll likely damage something
