    how high is too high octane

    higher octane is just more controllable detonation i think. for instance, if you use 87 octane with a turbo, youre more prone to detonation due to unpredictability. reason why they reccomend premium in turbo cars. correct me if im wrong

    Na-t?

    With 180,000 miles on my odometer, is it safe considering a NA-T project? I'd like a bit more power, but I'm not sure if it'd be more worthwhile to swap an entire engine. The way I figure, it would be around 2k for a total 7m swap and around 3k for a 1jz. Has anyone turboed their NA and...
