OK,KNowI should wait till i had 1 or two gallons.......can't resist,i've bought a LUCAS octane booster that normally if you put on a 25 gal tank raise up 87 to 90......so putting 80% of the bottle on 10 gallons and adding 6 gallons of 93 i think was more less the same thing........is that right????
Or should I put the whole bottle in the tank......by the way,IT'S A BEAST!!!!
Tune on 93+ was soooooo mutch fun,weels were spinnin and 0-60 was incredible!!!!!!!!
So,whole bottle in the tank or it's ok?????
I had already 10 gallons on the tank,and the CAI and SCT tuner was suppose to arrive on Monday.....well,i wanted to try the 93+ tune and i did't want to wait another 200 miles!!!!!
So,as i was told,I bought an octane booster to go from 87 to 93!
The bottle take 25 gallons from 87 to 90,the guy at the shop told me to use 80% of the bottle and you'll get 93 octane from 10 gallons!
Runs great,shoul i empty the whole bottle or it is too mutch?

You are going to foul your plugs. Don't use octane booster . Unless you are tuned for the higher octane, higher octane gas isn't going to do much for you.

Instead of Monday,It's arrived Friday,and I've filled the tank the day before with 87 octane,to empty normally for me is between 7-10 days,I had a whole week to wait to fill up with 93.
The guy at the station told me to put the booster,fill up with 93 and basically is the same thing......I don't know,It's my first car,on my Dad car (an old european alfa romeo) in the past he said he use the boosters to arrive at 96 Octane (the one the car need)and the only thing he had was the Spark Plugs a little bit burned,but the mechanic was telling him that those things take the engine clean.
By the way,next fill up it will be of pure 93 oct,I wasn't using the booster every time.........Nissan dealers raccomand to use it,they keep the injectors clean!
Thanks everybody.
The main ingrediant in most octane boosters is MMT and I dont think a commercial booster like Lucas or Torco would hurt the emmisions system if used according to directions on the bottle. However, more isnt always better . . . so unless you're willing to take a chance, I would fill up with 93 octane and leave it at that.
I've done 150 miles today,another 180 and the tank will be empty,than 16 gallons of 93 and no more boosters!
I've sent an email to SCT and they almost said the same thing!
The 93+ tune is great,I really love my car!
