You should definitely try the 100octane one Just drop by a Shell or Tamoil station with the vpower or the wr100... what does the distributor know if you're from an us base in the end?

Rofl at me being in your screenshot :D

Well, after I get settled in and all my pay gets corrected I'll be reevaluating my finances and likely putting together a strict budget. After that, its just me sitting here waiting... that is unless you wanna fab me a manifold........

btw, i drove to brugge the other day after i drove through brussells... beautiful there... going back in Dec/Jan to see an ice sculpture festival thingy

also, you should drop me a line sometime, things to discuss. i'll be gone till prolly end of Nov..

No thanks G, I have no desire to spend $120+ filling up... AGAIN...
It has nothing to do with the distrubutor, its more like - I get 200 liters/month of 95 or 98 at the average US price. That means a fillup costs me like $40... buying petrol on the local economy is 3X's more expensive

194g/s? Not bad, not bad. My 1.8t shows about 170 at redline at 12psi. (It'll go to 18, but the tiny turbo can't keep up the pressure as the revs climb.)

you either have a turbo or a very poorly calibrated maf sensor .....

No turbo, but I have pretty much every NA mod out there. I have not calibrated my MAF, but it seems fine since it is reading 5 g/s constant at idle. I dont know... I would have to log it again.

So if I am only hitting 200 for my MAF, does that mean is needs to be cleaned or that my engine is stock (which it is)?

200 at full throttle, at peak RPM? Did you make any intake mods?

I hit 190 on my AT at 8100rpms.

No mods, even a stock air cleaner. That was full throttle up near redline.

I saw 246 g/s today. N/A.
I'm starting to think that I need to scale my MAF slightly for the CAI.

i just went out and tested it twice. im seeing about 271g/s at redline.

so, either i have the fastest n/a rx8 in the world or my maf is not calibrated correctly. i do see a constant 5g/s at idle. what can i do to test my maf?
