Default 1JZ fuel type

All of the specs on the 1JZ say "fuel type: unleaded premium." Is premium required or is it just better for it? Also, is there an easier way to do the wiring on a 1jz? Ive heard they make a wiring harness thats like an adapter when installing in a mkiii. If there is such thing where could i find one and how much would it cost?

As far as premium fuel goes the higher octane is used to help prevent knocking/detonation. You can use lower octane fuel (many people do), but you increase the chance of real internal damage to your engine. For myself, I don't risk it where my GTE is concerned. It's a little more expensive per gallon, but less expensive than replacing pistons, valves, etc.

Not sure about the wiring issue, have to look around on that one.

Yeah he's right on that matter. I also think that it's a little more expensive per gallon. I think I saw something on this forum about the wiring hareness.

Yeah the price difference is kinda self explanatory the better gas is always more expensive. As for the wiring I think there a few people on here that make a plug and play harness adapter you will just have to ask around.
