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

    • Ok i will get those 310mm. I found one but on a different site. This is the description on those...is it ok? Technical parameters: - Axle: front. - Disc type: ventilated. - Number of holes: 5. - Disc diameter: 310mm. - Total height with center: 54mm. - Thickness (new/min.): 30/28mm. - Designed for brake calipers manufacturer: Sumitomo.
    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
