I’ve been tramping around and picked up on Envista lack of power, not just with this forum. You do know also that Buick cancelled V8 engines for FWD cars because the torque created was completely uncontrollable? I gave Envista a bit too much gas on cornering from stop and I had to really watch it from going straight ahead… so.

No doubt in my mind now you’re looking at a throw away engine with these cars. In layman’s terms it’s cheaper, cost effective to just buy new engine replacement including turbo. Imagine waiting on new crankshaft bearing journals to rebuild over boosted 1.2L OMG.

Take my word for it that engine’s perfect for the car. Yes, other one can do 12second trap time easily and I don’t compare the 2 at all. So I thought Envista after taking delivery ran about right with bad MAF before “check” started activating. 😇 Too, your not using that 137HP to begin with at all unless measured at rear wheels (that’s a joke, yes FWD).

Yes indeedy, as you mat the pedal down with 87/octane, engine will start to knock or ping and timing is automatically retarded. There goes the neighborhood for speed, power and mileage. The higher octane wiii keep the fuel from ignition with just compression, waiting for the plug to fire it off of course.

You’re somewhat running a diesel engine with standard fuel. Nothing new, had water injection back to 1950’s for fixing that. Worked great for WWII aircraft.

Since I started this whole thing lmao PVS1959… what is it you find utterly stupid and not true? For beginners: higher octane fuel will definitely increase mileage by not “pinging” the engine and allowing the engine to run at the full advanced timing it was spec’ed out to do. You’re paying for a more inferior product actually if thought about by buying Sunoco260.

You too don’t believe water injection does work? Can lead a horse to “water”, beyond that? See if I can find something. Actually I agree with you, kinda exactly what I said to begin with. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_injection_(engine) Only tip of iceberg…

Ever pre-advance timing of distributor on 60’s car or run dual point mechanical advance only distributors? Sure, I was experimenting even back then. You’d think a set of 3-2 barrel carburetors was under hood. Potential was and still is amazing. Another best kept secret, oh well.

Wait though! Am not talking about Envista‘s here at all. You’d have to drive one of those at top speed all day long to see minimal gains. Lose-lose combination, baby them.

I cannot figure out a few of the comments here. My starting of this topic for entertainment purposes only starts out with a METAPHORIC, IRONIC NARRITIVE. Maybe a few need to reread it! I definitely DO NOT advocate any modification to Envistas WHAT-SO-EVER. Even high octane fuel, these cars are NOT street performers. How could I have made this any CLEARER? As for my writing style, guess a few can’t tell the difference, try-try again.

Please don’t get me started on Meth Injection. Not even myself has tried this one… Oh, that’s wood alcohol ratio with water and it’s way superior to any Sunoco Blue. Back again here I’m sure.
