js1175 Member 45 Member For: 20y 7m 26d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted 07/07/06 05:01 AM Share Posted 07/07/06 05:01 AM Guys - I was taking couple of my mates from work to demo the EDIT on my T. At about 3500rpm - 80k's - sports mode I could hear a strange crackling noise from the engine most probably the top section for a few seconds. Never heard such noise before ever.Obviously I took it a bit easy after that. But am concern as what was THAT noise.Any ideas?

Do I need to change the fuel. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/26667-post-edit-concerns/#findComment-403316 Share on other sites More sharing options...
drcook Member 752 Member For: 20y 7m 30d Location: leonay Posted 07/07/06 05:21 AM Share Posted 07/07/06 05:21 AM (edited) I wouldnt think you would have to change the fuel. if the edit is tuned for 98 octane then I would think it would be good for all 98 octane fuel (I use caltex 98). you could try the shell 100, but other than that the edit will have to be re-tuned (or custom tuned if you havent done) so you can be safe on 98 octane.if your in sydney, I went to c&v and they gave me a 98 tune, 95 tune & valet tune.
