95 octane is higher than we have here. There are people running 22 psi on 93 octane which is about 1.5 bar. I say you can increase to 1.6 bar safely. Btw, this is with stock injectors.

Where are you located? If outside the U.S., then the available 95 octane gasoline probably has a R.O.N.(Research Octane Number) rating. If so, 95 R.O.N. gasoline is equivalent to the 91 octane gasoline sold in the U.S. the U.S., the octane at the pump is derived at by adding the Motor Octane Number to the Ressearch Octane Number and then dividing by two:

M+R/2

Dude, our fuel in the gulf is some 93Octane..

If you wanna run up to 1.7bars and more, you get yourself ARP and Head Gasket (Cometic or HKS 1.2mm)

I'm going thru the same 'ordeal'.. I'm yet to tune my 50Trim setup and i'll pbly reach 2.0bars so I really didnt like the idea of having a Head Gasket change but it will sure save my engine in the future..
