With compression @ 10.5-1 it might require premium gas....aslo the civic is still lacking in it most needed area, torque, i think it will be quicker than the last model, but 13 hp will not push it to beat the tC. Have no fear!!
I doubt it. 10.5:1 in an efficient four valve configuration can run on regular. You just need to hold production tolerances for squish a bit tighter. If you get the squish right, you'd be amazed at how high a static compression ratio will tolerate 87 unleaded.Originally posted by EddieMoney@Jul 28 2005, 05:40 PM
