Woo Hoo!!!!! Ultimate 98 in Burnie from 8am tomorrow! Finally!

Had a look at the bowser and it's going to cost $1.57.9 That's 9c dearer than PULP (1.48.9) which is 7c dearer than ULP (1.41.9) here in Burnie.

When I was in Orange(NSW) last week and filled up the renter ULP was 1.45.8 So we're not that had done by here as a regional area!

Any RB turbo deserves 98 whether it's stock or modified! IMHO

I've used 98 on the mainland in both my Skylines and it's well worth the extra $4.50 (@ 9c for 50ltrs here in Burnie) for the benifits I have seen! Again IMHA

Wogboy, R u getting better economy and a bit more power?

When I cruise to hobart and back (been down that way afew times in the R34) I 'll average around the 450-480km for 55ltrs.

When I was over on the mainland at easter time (with the R34) got a full tank of 98 in Melb and used it for the 3 weeks I was there and aveaged 500-550km for 55ltrs and the car felt half a gear better!

I love the stuff! Can't wait to run a few tanks thru and get another dyno tune!

You are spot on wogboy- ... being designed as JDM, Japan has much better fuel than we have here in Oz, don't quote me but 98 is the norm. So running on 95, you are right at the bottom of the ECU range. I have 3 engines stuffed purely because of dud fuel.

So the rest should follow your lead, and treat their engines with some respect.

I think given our current fuel status that the oil companies will now phase out 91RON... it is only realy good for lawn mowers and starting fires anyhow.

The pricing is OK. Using 19.95 for booster and 95Ron has us paying 1.84 / litre. See ya soon Rosie, with a trailer full of drums.

Well I just got some at BP Glenorchy, I called in to Hobart (Brooker) but they hadn't set it up yet but told me it would be going in a few hours.

I didn't expect any power increase but I must say it feels a hell or a lot smoother to redline.

I paid 1.54.9

not bad I think.

Cheers

I filled up 3.0R Libery I have at the moment with Ultimate at BP Booker just before - $1.54.9 p/l. I paid the same price for 95RON just four days ago!

Just filled my R34 with 98 (Yum! Yum!) and what a surprise went down to $1.54.9 was $1.57.9 yesterday!

Took 50ltrs, so that's $3.00 more for the good stuff! (PULP was $1.48.9) Well worth it!

Its at every site which the exception on BP Newnham and Southbound. BP St Helens won't have it til next week.

As for the price it was going to be 157.9 then 159.9!?!?!? then went down to 154.9. BP had sent through the wrong cost price

I'll try running my baby on 26 psi again and see if it'll handle it on Ultimate, with the right oil pressure, top pistons and the a GOOD driver behind the wheel;) NOT REALLY!!!

Not long now. She should be boostin out of the workshop next week and hopefully it'll make it's first trip down to Hobart for the drifting

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      A few suggestions: Do you have the option of retarding your exhaust cam gear to bring the power band over to the left? VCT would be turned off after you make peak torque, you see the power/torque will decay faster with it left on all the way to the limiter Once VCT is turned off, you'll find the motor will take a bit more timing being ramped in Send its mum, more boost! Of course, depends on your exhaust pressure.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I was back on the dyno again yesterday after completely revamping my methanol injection system. I was making 440kw at 19psi. Great, this is more then I was making last summer with my old meth system at that pressure, and I figured it would be smooth sailing up to 30+psi. We continued increasing from there and by 25psi, I had only hit 455kw. Dyno sadly lost utility power at this point and I left. We seemed to be on course to hit the same power wall as last summer (477kw@27psi). This is a built RB25 S1 stroked to a 2.8. Built and ported head with Kelford 272/262 cams. Precision 6466 Turbo. Tuner last year believed the power wall is a mix of RPM limitations (Hydro lifters/Limit set at 7600RPM) and fueling. With my new meth system, we're seeing zero knock now but it still won't go up.  What else can I do at this point? Here's my train of thought.  - It's clear from the dyno graph that I would easily make power to 8500+RPM but I'm limited to 7600RPM. I could risk increasing my limiter, but hydro lifters have me worried. What are my options here besides going NEO head or solid lifter conversion? I'm rocking a 1.05AR turbine on my 6466. Would dropping down to a .84 help shift that power down in anyway? - We're only seeing roughly a 30kw difference at the top end with VCT on or off. Is this normal? I want to confirm VCT is working properly. - Should I look into other cam options?  - Should I just keep increasing boost and see if she wakes up later on? I would expect to hit 600rwkw around 35psi with my 6466.

      iPad gauge cluster

      First thought is to use a ram mount (to hold the ipad) + windscreen suction mount. The arms on the ram mount can be as long as you like, should be able to position the ipad pretty well with that setup.
