100% yes it will need mapping for 95RON, too low ron prob will have been what killed your engines. if your gonna struggle to get the right fuel get it mapped on what you can get, you'll get a bit less responce and power but you'll have a car that wont self destruct everytime you put your foot down. As far as mapping goes, mapped incorrectly this can kill your engine even quicker than bad fuel (even during mapping) so make sure he knows what he's doing with mapping before he does it and is competant.

Re: Blown Piston after crankshaft and piston replacement
Had the Remapping Done, turns out my car is a JDM and had been mapped for fuel of 100ron. all the same mech guy says they have reduced some degree of knock to like between 2. and 3. something at full throttle, and enriched the fuel at certain points.
Didint know there was so much about turbo cars that one needs to know. So far done 200kms and nothing to note in terms of issues I hope my troubles are gone. Guys in Kenya i advice you to seek out the Lota Guys i think the finally have cracked the isses with our cars. |

I have not come across fuel additives to increase the ron but then again, no need for it after the remap. Something else I've done is get myself a Tactrix cable and every once in a while I log to check for knock, boost, AFR etc. I'm still new at it and involves quite a bit of reading but its worth the time and effort. Plus its fun too ![]() |
