Octane VS. Boost
Octane VS. Boost
First of all I don't see the point of this post - I mean if you are JUST daily driving then theoretically you don't need boost at all so why worry about what the max peak you can hit would be?
Second, you can not simply just say "If I run 93 octane I can turn my boost up to XX psi" It depends on the car, the parts you have installed, the environmental conditions, and most definitely the tune you have.
If we forget about all of that, your numbers don't look right anyway. 93 - 23psi, 94 - 24psi, and 100 - 25psi??? So for one octane from 93-94 I can raise 1 psi, but if I jump the octane up to 100 I can still only raise it 1 psi???
There are generally accepted levels of boost for given modifications and cars, but they are just guidelines. Period. You could run a lot higher boost if you decide to go with very very little timing, but you would have to run less boost with more advanced timing.
