So, Everything I'm reading says that the 96 EJ25 motors require 93 octane. My question is, what if I retarded the timing a few degrees, would it then most likely run ok on 89? I have ECUTEK's Delta Dash software and with it I can globally adjust the ignition timing +/- a few degrees. Does anybody think it would work or am I wasting my time? I know I wouldn't get the same performance, but unless I'd be towing or hauling around a bunch of people I don't think I'd care.

 

What do you think?

Well, I don't own the car yet. It gets picked up next week and then it will be some time before I can try to get it fixed and on the road. For now I'm just posing the question. Also, you live in PA, of course you live on a hill :) I my self live at the base of a hill, some even call it a mountain. I basically have to drive over it and another "mountain" to get to work. PA is great like that, especially in the winter!
