    Default JDM h22 question

    Eventually, when the engine in my Lude dies, I was planning on getting a JDM h22. I read somewhere they they run off a higher octane than 93. That some people use 97 and that's a low octane for that engine or something.

    I understand that I can put about any fuel I want in it, but will it run like dog sh!t if I feed it 93octane instead?

    We us the R/M 2 method for octane in the U.S. Japan is on the Ron rating i believe. Our 93 is equivalent or better than their 97 or 99 whatever Ron rated octane.

    It just needs premium.

    93 is all you need.
