How many times have you heard a ricer talk about swapping his engine for a "better"
Japaneese spec engine...
I've just been informed of something pretty nifty to put back in there faces. The reason why the Japaneese spec engines (or japaneese engines) generate more HP is the octane level commonly sold in Japan is grade 110!!! So, the car's computer takes that in account and generates a different fuel map for more HP. The engine you ask? Identical in NorthAmerica to Japan.
Now keep in mind, I am a Ford guy with limited engine knowledge talking about Import engines... I trust my information source, after all he is an Acura Integra driver.
Could this be true? Makes sense to me!
