Japan imported rx7

[interloper393]

Iv got a 1993 rx7 from japan and i`v filled it with regular unleaded petrol, is this ok??

Car seemed to fun fine before i stuck it in :spank

Am i a nob for doing that?

you wanna use high octane - optimax is most likely ya best bet.

As your car is from japan I should think its set up for 100 ron and you\'ve probably just put 95 in it.. if it\'s got a decent ECU then get it remapped for uk fuel else you\'ll most likely be doing long term damage

best of luck

O crap cheers buddy for the quick reply, would this cause it not to start tho.. maybe its covered the plugs in ming?

[Andyp]

No problems bud... sorry to hear you\'re having problems!

if it started before most likely flooded. There\'s a guide to deflodding on the search button

Well it came from japan with fuel just above empty, and i thought it ran out when i try to restart so i put 10 quid of unleaded in now it wont go lol.. i`ll try the deflooding lol see if that works

Fankoo :wave

Did you start the engine and then turn off before the engine was warmed up?? This will normally cause the engine to flood.

For what its worth when I had my Pulsar if you put 95 in it wouldnt start, but was fine on Optimax.

I dont think thats likely to be your starting problem in this case though.
