what fuel do you use for EP3

[samsung001]

Hi everyone, i just picked up my EP3 last week. It went insane on the first day that i picked it up. However, after pumping a full tank of Mobil 98, it seems not going as fast as it was. For all EP3 owners, just wondering what fuel do you use? Thanks.

when i get mine i will only be putting bp ultimate 98 as that's the best fuel available in w.a.

bp ultimate is better than the Shell v-power?

i'm not sure, what octan is v-power? ultimate is 98 and we don't get v-power in w.a.

Your probably just used to the power

I try and use BP or Mobil. May be you put standard mobil premium??

Still, I cant see much performance difference between the 98ron fuel really. Just use what you think is best.

You could risk a tank of V-power racing if you can find it. That's 100 RON and 5% ethanol.

shit yeah v-power racing, ive got a crumb of an engine (d16y) and it feels so much better with v-poer racing. its probably killing my pistons though. but yeah shell v power is 98ron, same as bp ultimate

You shouldn't feel any difference in a d16y though... Maybe it's just cleaning it out a bit because of the ethanol.

i noticed a bit of difference when i used vpower racing in my ep3. When vtec kicked in it just had a bit more of a kick. But i only use bp ultimate now. Car runs good on it. Reason why im not going to b using much of vpower racing is because i heard the ethanol can eat at ur fuel lines. Wish it didnt do that because that fuel makes my car roar ! ! Might use it on a track day mayb

(according to a ethanol brochure from Mobil , Fuel with ethanol is completely safe for cars after 1986. This includes your EP3

(dont know exactly what changed after 86 - a ADR relevant to fuel lines ? )

thx guys. i will try to use the V Power this week if it's available. ( its running out everywhere last week)

This is the only situation where I'd recommend v-power racing, because those JDM EP3s are spec'd for 100 RON.
