I recently read a good article that explains what knock is, which made me extremely uneasy driving my freshly turbocharged car. The Renesis engine has an already high compression ratio of 10:1 and so it is more prone to knock than your average factory turbocharged vehicle, with a compression ratio of 8:1 to 9:1.
Many of us are stuck with 91 octane fuel, known as crap gas. High compression and crap gas do not work together well and so I am starting this thread to discuss ways to improve octane. I've read of how some octane boosters are BS and can harm your engine in the long run. There must be some additives that can help without having to go to methanol/alcohol/water injection or buying gallons of C16 and mixing it.
Here are some things I found:
