The filter just did its job really well. After the filter, everything looks perfectly clean. I replaced it with a K&N.


K&N and 87 octane, that's like +15whp

I found a few threads on premium vs regular, and that mazsport found 87 makes more power. I didn't see the na thread though

the na thread was about the interceptor x on a na..

and the fact that 87 makes more power, is the point. less is more. na!!!!

I've known about octane ratings, I ain't no hemi drivin NASCAR racer, puttin 127 octane in my car and what not. Octane is more like a "minimum of" required.

I was just afraid that the 87 would detonate and the knock sensor would notice it, then back off my timing without me knowing, and I'd be doomed to being ignorant of my inferior power...

try it and see what it does.. the knock sensor is a tard..

keep the motor clean. less is more. seal can translate..

btw. really. i am here to help. pm is good.

and good gas is good gas. 87> 91 often.

Explain how your using 87 (regular)? I thought that plus or premium was at least required. Do you have an A/F gauge? I just want to see what the A/F ratio is and if its a safe one for the RX8. Is there anyone else who uses 87 or plus out there?

this thread wasted my 15 mins reading stuff I already know 7 years ago.........

Since you already knew this information why didn't you post at all? Anyways, do you know or knew then information....seems like its in past tense so it would be knew FYI. I'm going to pretend you didn't post and hope someone posts actual information about what octane gas they put in their. It would be great if you(reader/poster) could explain the causes of that octane gas.

I wrote some stuff, search my posts for the info.

So the only difference is more power for the lower octane? No one has said anything about negative effects from it other then it knocking which I honestly don't know how easy it is to do that.
