What are the octane requirements for a M30B34 running a TCD S1 at 5, 7, and 10 PSI?
Thanks

I believe this one has been answered here and there:
The S1 is non-intercooled (duh) - Todd has shown that we can still pump 20psi of hot/non-intercooled air into our cars without trouble.... but the headgasket won't hold out for very long. 10psi will last forever, 15psi won't -- but it will still last a good while.
You have an e34.... so.... I dunno - I was referring to e28s.

Not quite. Most I ever ran non intercooled was 18psi. Ambient temp was ~0F. I did run 15psi all year for 15k miles with no issues. But this was up north with good gas and proper tuning on a m30b34 motor.
8psi on a m30b35 is a good safe level.
