[QUOTE="glock_8, post: 397042, member: 14626"] my 1.5 liter wira knocks like crazy when i tested it with ron92......my rx-8 knocks occationally when its really hot/traffic congestion even on v-power...especially driving slow on high gear...i know how the "marble in the can" sounds like. hey my first car is kancil..and like many other in this forum...i am not lucky enuff to be fed on a silver platter... u dont have to hear the engine knock to get lesser power...i think the more modern and advance engine is more clever than to rely on engine knocking to tweak the timing etc. it would be silly if you fill ur car with ron100 and hoping it will produce more power when the brochure said the car max perf is based on ron 98 to yield 218hp. i dont think i understand it the way u did....it was clearly stated on the brochure - hp and torque is based on ron 98 same disclaimer for civic type r and suzuki swift...but they are more crazier to state rated power using ron 100. its not about engineering tolerances here...its how the car company struggle to produce higher HP and Torque so that it looked impressive on the specification sheets....that it looked better than its rival.....this is their last straw to squeeze the last drop of power they could get out of the engine... here is a living proof of how ron 95 and 97 and 98 have affacted a performance of a car.... the supermarket petrol must have taken from tesco/asda or saintsburry petrol station and its rated ron 95...while vpower and bp are 98 and 97 respectively [video=youtube;dDHwCWdrtdg]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDHwCWdrtdg&feature=related[/video] for a normal run of the mill car, it makes no difference..but for high performance car it really make a world of a different...and all of em didnt produce any knocking sound ....be it on ron 95 or ron 97 or ron 98.. the diff between ron 95 and ron 98 is an astonishing increase of 14hp and 26nm of torque !!!!! i am just amazed how the govt propaganda to dupe malaysian into believing that ron 95 is as good as ron 97 hence making empty promise to reduce the price when they actually raise it to rm1.80 for ron 95...replacing the ron 97 ..... hope u are a believer now....ur 218hp rated power are actually derated eversince u use ron 95...even on ron 97 it wont get that 218hp figure....so next time when we have a chat ..when people ask us how much power does our car has..dont mention 218hp unless u mention using ron 98..hihi [/QUOTE]
