87 Octane on TC Engine.

[Haywire6000]

So I am going to swap in a 88 TC engine into my Ranger. I have that sorted out for the most part. The only question I have right now it that for the "premium"/"regular" fuel switch. On regular I know it drops boost to 10 ish PSI. My question is the regular mode made for 87? I can't find a definitive answer. Also I plan on running the factory waste gate and what not so the computer will be managing the boost.

Are you using the factory knock sensor? If so you will be fine. Gas is cheap- run premium through it.

As of know the knock sensor will be hooked up. I'm just thinking that for long trips it would be cheaper. Also I don't all those ponies constantly .

I've done it and it runs fine, they do prefer premium though.
