93 oct on 91 oft ots tune
My city got its first 93 oct pump in like decades and so i filled up woth it forgetting my tune is 91 from open flash tablet their off the shelf 91 stage 2 for headers. I remembered they have a 93 tune as well so I was planning on running a few tanks of 93 oct in it before i switch the tune to their 93 oct stage 2 tune. Is this okay? Do i need to wait a few tanks before switching it?
Also not sure if this is just the tune hut i also have noticed the AFR tends to run more rich (which i know os safer than lean) i see its almost always below 14.7:1 and especially now that its on the 93 oct which i thought would have the opposite affect. |
Just drive normally until you burn through your first tank of 93 and you will be fine. Even if you go WOT the car might run a little rich, but you should be fine.
|
correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe you can run a higher octane gas with a lower octane tune. You'll only have problems if you run a higher octane tune with a lower octane gas.
|
the OFT 91 and 93 are identical except the timing for high RPM so you are fine to run 93 gas with 91 tune.
|
If I were you I'd just keep running the 93 octane, it gives you a little insurance when driving hard or on hot days, you'll have less knock and probably better mpg too.
|
You might get some knock at WOT if you use the 93 tune right away. Maybe run through a tank of 93 first. The power difference isn't even noticeable -- you need a dyno -- so you're not sacrificing anything if it's just your DD.
|
I run my car on 93 oct, on a 91 tune all the time.

The insides of my exhaust tips are atrociously black now

as @Wayno said the tunes are identical except for top end ignition timing over 5000 rpm. oft tunes tend to be on the rich side which is safe if you want a clean exhaust switch to e85 fuel and tune. :-) |
actually they were starting to get pretty dark before i put headers on and now they are just awful. next spring im getting SC and a real tune along with it so i will hopefully not have this problem afterwards
