I always get this song in my head whenever I hear or read the word Kenya...phillipm wrote: Is it actually 94 RON or 94 PON?? PON? The Americans use MON instead of the RON we have here, which makes people think their fuel is crap compared to ours so it could be the same in kenya. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

got access to peugeot planet? The gti ecu actually has a map on it suitable for lower RON fuels in other countries. How low it goes i dont know but it might be worth looking into. |

Pump octane number, average of the RON + MON, same as the US... ________________________________________ - Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments.

Ahh ok, sake as AKI. Seems daft that something so widespread in use as this still isn't properly standardised. ________________________________________ Ph1 306 GTi 6 | RX8 231 S1 | YBR 125 Cafe Racer | MT-03 660 |

The bike does get used from around March to October, and the car will also be used between April and September next year.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Witbank in sa is the same altitude and the average air pressure is circa 875 mbar, considerably lower than at sea level. Suggest reading up on octane and altitude. I'd be surprised if you'd notice lower levels of oxygen at 1,600 metres, it's only ~300 metres more than Ben Nevis and there's no struggle for air up there. Maybe if you were exercising in Nairobi you'd feel it. Simply walking up steps on the Altiplano is a challenge though. Who said anything about struggling for air? I said noticing a difference. I am currently at 1600 metres on the same continent - you notice the difference very early on when plucked from the UK. You've eluded to it yourself that exercise makes it extremely apparent. Something tells me Ben Nevis is a little more chilly than Nairobi. ________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |

carl/rich thanks i did get it here but the only regret is cant bring it you guys if anything goes wrong . i forgot to ask wayne when he was mapping the car although he did say left it rich top end dont know what that is for though? in terms of altitude it is higher here, even when gyming it isn't the same as back in u.k, i think oxygen is less here or something like that. ordered avgas to try only downside is they sell it 200litre gallons . we'l update once i've tried it. thanks again. ________________________________________ GTI6 - 207.6bhp, 183.4lb/ft and the only one in kenya. |
