My stock engine is fine right now, but I plan on keeping my P5 for a long time into the future. I'd like to start planning a swap or upgrades for the future. I'd like to stick with 87 octane because I'm cheap as hell so what are my options?
KL swap? This would be my preference and I can't for the life of me recall what kind of fuel I used to run in either of my old Probe GTs. I've read that 87 can be used in a KL03, but I assume I couldn't use it in a ZE with the higher compression. Anyone have actual experience with this because I'm not sure that what I've read is accurate?
Turbo? Would I be able to run a smaller turbo setup and keep 87 octane fuel?
Fully bolted N/A DE? What mods would I have to a avoid to keep running 87?
Anything else I'm forgetting about?
Last question...Would a meth injection system with just water running constantly allow me to run any of the above setups with 87 octane? Meth would be too expensive...I'm cheap remember.
I know it's not the most exciting topic but I thought it might make for an interesting discussion.
