my 97 ra is mapped for 97ron. runnin it here on
95 with shot of lucas. no e5 station close either :angry1: :angry1:
is it safe enough??????????
 
@ briancollins: tis grand and your own. not sure. was mapped for shell v-power anyway
puttin half bottle lucas in at the moment. dear gear though
 
I assume by that comment that the 97's ecu isn't mappable?? So must have an aftermarket unit for mapping!
The short ratios and high revs of the Type ra will kill the engine if not mapped properly

v5 on ecu can be flashed so under v5, the ecu must be changed, take up the floor pan under the carpet on the passenger side and see is there any writing on the ecu
 
There other thing to keep in mind is jap 100 octane fuel didnt come out until 1998 so cars pre this would of been recommened from factory for 98 the higest available at the time, so the if your running 97 the ecu should be able to adjust for it and running E5 from maxol should see you right..IN THEORY ...but you say its maped for shell v-power which is 99 in the UK so you might wanna be careful get someone to check it out or get a knocklink
 
took a lookt the ecu there. name on it is J.E.S (japenese electronic systems)
bought it if my uncle, he said was mapped for 97 but was runnin it on v-power

buy in bulk - you can get it down to 8-9 euro a bottle (if you buy 48 bottles)
