June 17, 200422 yr comment_11960 I drive a Toyota Sprinter (Japanese MOdel ) engine: AE100 5125309 chassis: 5AB 665600, and I need to know if can run on unleaded petrol. Report
June 17, 200422 yr comment_11962 if it's an "AE100" then it will be a later model, therefore yes, it should only use unleaded. what year/ motor is it? by the way, welcome to rollaclub Report
June 17, 200422 yr comment_11965 All toyotas from Mid 1973 on can run unleaded petrol without modification. I have a 1973 KE20 and I run unleaded all day every day... Report
June 18, 200422 yr comment_12030 what year is it? at a minimum run unleaded...personally id run premium the japanese sprinters ie: levins, came with a 4age so unleaded is a must unless you picked up a carby ae85 Report
June 18, 200422 yr comment_12051 My blue car f@$king hates ultimate but runs fine on super. Yet my red car could barely hold idle on anything else. Go figure. Report
June 18, 200422 yr comment_12059 i'd guess 4ac needs timing advanced to suit the higher octane fuel. some people on oldcorollas reckon their motors run SLOWER with bp ultimate than regular unleaded, when running stock ignition timing. 4age is designed to run on high octane fuel, especially if it's a jap motor, or has had the head skimmed at some point in its life Report
June 18, 200422 yr comment_12065 atm, mines on 75% Leaded & 25% Top_of_de_range Bp stuff (ultimate?) meh - it runs like smooooth,and since justin's tune up, it runs even better! GO THE 4K ! Edited June 18, 200422 yr by Grimwolge Report
June 18, 200422 yr comment_12073 i found any more than 12 degrees advance with a stock distributor really restricted power up high. i used to do big full throttle runs up a hill with my stock 3k. on 20 degrees i could barely get to 105km/h, with 10 or 12 degrees i'd get up to 125km. 20 degrees did, however, make the car totally crack at low rpm :D instant throttle response Report
June 18, 200422 yr comment_12077 I believe the fuel you run and how well it runs is all related to tuning. Changing to 98RON from 91RON and you will need to re-tune to reap the benifits. I found running 91RON yealded more power than 98RON without tuning for the change... Report
June 19, 200422 yr comment_12112 Just on another note...if you have been running leaded fuel in the AE100 CHANGE YOUR EGO sensor!! (exhaust gas oxygen). Lead will be built up around the sensor and it wont be able to sense the oxygen content in the exhaust which will result in bad fuel economy and power. I am unsure what Lead replacement fuel does to EGO sensors...But I wouldnt think it would be good... Report
