AndrewG Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 (edited) Welcome and thanks for suporting the Club! If your car is a TT then go for your favourite premium (98 ron) fuel. Personally I use Shell V-Power. Post up some details of your new Zed. We would love to see what you have bought.

JeffTT Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 If it is standard and in good tune / timing etc then good quality unleaded is just fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BambooJoe Posted July 7, 2019 Share Posted July 7, 2019 If it is standard and in good tune / timing etc then good quality unleaded is just fine. By standard do you mean unmodified or do you mean an NA? Quote ✔️ SWB ✔️ Twin Turbo ✔️ Manual ✔️ Slick-top ✔️ Seat belts mounted in the correct places...

RichardS Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 (edited) Hi and welcome - and as Andrew says, thank you for your support in subscribing! And with regards the fuel question, stick to decent quality petrol; Shell, BP, Esso, Texaco... Normal unleaded is fine for stock TT/NA cars - although a TT may run better on higher octane (super) in the hotter weather. I have a stock UK spec TT and to be honest, rarely see any benefit to super UL most of the time. I do seem to achieve more miles per tank when running on V-power; and on a hot summer's afternoon, the car feels like it accelerates faster on super, over normal UL.

Guest Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Interesting Richard as I’ve always used super in mine. Can’t ever remember filling up with regular. Think I’ll give it a go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Don't UK and JDM cars have different maps based on the different fuel available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardS Posted July 9, 2019 Share Posted July 9, 2019 Interesting Richard as I’ve always used super in mine. Can’t ever remember filling up with regular. Think I’ll give it a go. As said Art, mine is a UK spec...…. Don't UK and JDM cars have different maps based on the different fuel available? …..And I have heard the same also. However I have also read that the ECUs can compensate! Either way, my owners manual - and the sticker on my fuel filler cap - suggest 95 RON. Quote I have something to say............

Either way, my owners manual - and the sticker on my fuel filler cap - suggest 95 RON. Interesting the 95 is suggested, clearly tuned for it then! I'm no expert but I think the 'risk' with lower RON fuel is knocking, which the detonation sensor should in theory control. Whether the ECU can do/does anything else I'd be interested to know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether the ECU can do/does anything else I'd be interested to know Yup - because that's what we had in the UK, in the early 1990s.... Four star was being phased out and super unleaded was rarely - if at all - available!! Quote I have something to say............
