theres no need to add it with normal optimax, it will achieve zero. the stock ecu wont add more timing because you've added in octane booster. in fact the stock ecu has no concept of how much octane your fuel is, it simply looks at the knock sensor and if its see's detonation, assumes you are running crap fuel and drops timing and richens itself up. so in summary its pointless and achieves zero.

sorry thats assuming you are using stock ecu still, which i dont think you are?

even with an aftermarket ecu it wont gain any more power, you could advance the timing a little but you'd be better off tuning and running optimax extreme all the time.

try a tank of optimax extreme and dial in 2 more degs timing, it should be ok

Yeh i run an aftermarket computer. My concern is that I have on the odd occasion noticed a very slight rattle on 25-26psi, running optimax

We cant get the optimax extreme hear yet unfortunately otherwise i would run it for sure.

How much timing roughly should an rb25 with gt3540 and 8.5:1 comp run on 25psi? At the moment its on about 20 degrees. it has std cams and cam gears.

well if you can hear rattling, then its likely to be detonation.

what ecu are u using? just take out some timing on the load point where you hear it knocking/detonating. its just as case of a few load points are a bit too advanced, retard them a tiny bit

    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
