About time somebody that’s not telling to bolt something together and that’s all you need to do!

Since most of our customer-base is in the United States, that's what we're basing our information on. 87 octane is standard in the US and is used in most vehicles here. Thanks for watching!

Thank you this was a very well explained video and it answered all my questions!

I'm not sure if honda's can me supercharged, but turbocharging is what i've seen generally. It's a little more expensive and tricky but it has better performance than a supercharger

[LantzMob]

every gas station i've ever seen here in the use has been 87, 89, and 91, I've never seen 93 at a regular pump before.

You may have to go up to 93 octane only, but if you run a low enough amount of boost you should be able to stick with 91. I'm sure a forum that specializes in that car can help you.

What do I need to supercharge my car? I don't think kits are available for my car. I have a 2002 Honda civic ep2

[desertfox]

More fuel isn't going to help if the boost is making it detonate. If you don't run premium in a boosted engine you're going to have a bad time.

[Primitivegarage]

So my FRS already requires 91 octane. If I turbo charge it, what would I have to do?

[WhiteGravey]

get bigger injectors+fuel pump+tune or have fun watching your engine blow up. if you choose watching your engine blow up plz make a video.

[QbsonDWZ]

Poor muricans.. In Poland we've got 95 as normal (cheap), 98 as premium gas and 101 race on some stations... :)

[minnsminns]

Just saying you have to "increase the octane" is stupid, as you don't know what we're already using. Even the lowest of the low octane supermarket fuel here is 95 octane (91 US Octane). Perfectly adequate for a turbo'd car.

[jooka]

Its not the fuel type you need bigger injectors period

[lchjn]

if you cant find any you dont need any
