This is a forum I joined up with to prepare myself to install my brothers turbo kit on his 2ZZ corolla xrs. In my searching I see a thread about using racing fuel for more power in 99% stock cars.

I pwn the hell out of the guys with FACTS and documentation from automotive engineers and scientists. They still argue.

The kicker... they tell me the reason the car benefits from higher octane fuel is because "lift" (toyota vtec) is constantly INCREASING VALVE TIMING.

They think valve timing is the same thing as ignition timing...and they're arguing with ME??

if you have to sign up to view it it's worth it.

feel free to post.

 

most first post is about halfway down the 2nd page.

 

Bwahahah, thats pretty hailarious! As if I had any respect for Carolla owners that didnt use them for commuting, it's now ALL gone! You were able to prove them wrong with everything they came up with....

Yeah, 0\/\/|\|3D!

EDIT: At first, I just skimmed over it, but I just went back and read all of it and wow, just wow, they are all so completely wrong! I love the arguement about what a knock sensor does, lol...It wouldnt be so bad if they could realize your right and accept you, but it's that much worse because they are all completely ignorant and just becasue you dont drive a Toyota your wrong...Fools!

 

Whay are you on the toyota forums?
Furhtermore where did a company that specializes in makeing boring cars for old people (company modo) get any enthusiasts?

Of course there idiots if they knew anything about cars they would have bought another car.

 

wow.....that is amazing.....these people make my pet rock look smart.....

I almost started clapping and yelling when i saw mattys posts, and the major schoolings he gave....

 

I'm doing research for my brothers turbo'd corolla....when I saw the old "octane debate thread" i jumped in to see what these guys thought.


The most knowledgable guy on that forum is the "faisel" guy....he just posted and said that the japanese WRX feels stronger becuase it runs on 94 octane....good lord how dumb can they be?

 

oh, and i love it when they consider you a n00b, it just made me think they are even more stupid.

and they name a "Japanese WRX" as running higher oct fuels, its funny, b/c, you werent talking about WRX's, you were talking about toyotas....do they not realize different things work on different cars as well?

 

Posted. What a bunch of tools.

 

yeah, appearntly their couple of years of being on that forum, outweighs mattys years and years of experience

 

Japanese cars always make more power than US cars because of the stricter US emissions and EPA requirements. Also, Turbo cars DO benefit from higher octane fuels as they need the benefit of the higher octane.

the rule of thumb when choosing octane is to use the lowest octane you can without pinging.

Apparently the corolla rule of thumb is... triple-digit-octane or bust!

 

Hahah, thats hailarious! I wanna join but dont feel like wasting my time with people who wont accept the facts....And I'm afraid their stupidity will rub off on me through the intArweb....Yes, its possible, they're just that dumb!

 

I think its getting to me!!! noo!!!

It literally is brain numbing tho....

 

Corrola- yes, Toyota as a company- NO. I would take a Supra and or a GT4 Celica. Its ok though I see what you are trying to say. Granted I would take any RX7/8, MS6, MSP, MS Miata over any Toyota any day.

 

you cant get new supras or gt4 celicas anymore...they make nothing new or intersting. The MR2 is canceled after this year btw.

 

The geniuses over at toyota found that if they focus there cars on the old boring people, they will sell more. They actually go out of there way to be sure there current cars are as boring as possible.

There older cars are really cool though.
