Would a higher-octane fuel help with the detonation (or be cost-effective)? I run 91 octane with the higher coolant / IA temps, and advanced timing -- usually 20/cents more per gallon can be a good investment.

(I'm still trying to figure out if the Integra has an EGR valve -- the shop manual is contradictory).

Great research so far -- I look forward to more results
