What Have You Done To Your 3rd Gen Today?

O.K. I didn't read that. I read 87 recommended. Why would I spend more for gas than I need to if it isn't going to give me any kind of gains?

 

Will the knock sensor sense the higher octane fuel and advance the timing? What happens to fuel when timing is retarded to much?

 

That's what I get on my Pro combined and 20 to 21 on highway( as long as I not bucking a headwind)! Poor thing doesn't like head winds!

 

Picked up a Toytec Boss 2.5 kit today. Now the wait for the install.

 

Ahem, yes it can/does. Similar to the knock sensor response to lower octane, but in the other direction.

 

How?

 

Taller than my parents so I didn't need side steps but they insisted; put some 3" side steps & AVS Tape-On wind deflectors.
TRD Badging soon to come!

The knock sensor is designed to sense the fuel detonating to early and knocking.. Hense where it got its name from. If it senses that condition it retards the timing so it will not fire while the valves are open causeing serious engine damage. The sensor constantly monitors this condition and adjust timeing as needed. Due to elevation above sea level or to low of octane you can pre detinate with to low of an octane level. Running 89 or 91 just asures it will not emcounter that condition.

 

What happens to fuel when timing is retarded to much?

 

Looking forward to seeing the 87 octane run compared to the 91 octane run. It will be neat if you proved all the engineers that design engines and fuel wrong.

 

Save your breath...

 

New Mobtown sliders. Can't say enough good stuff about Joe's work and excellent customer service.

 

I sold the pile of junk !!!

 

New grill showed up today just need some nice weather to be able to install it
