So what? we can use it? Not recommended ia a very general temr isnt it? Well can we acutally use it or not?! Comeon guys!! Just want to set the record straight.

FFS read my post above.

Nissan doesn't "recommend" it.

I have used it for 8 months without a problem

I have tested everything Nissan said could "possibly" be a problem

None of my testing has shown a single problem

That's the best answer you are going to get, take it or leave it.

:rofl: cheers :(

:O cheers :spank:

ok i will try it on my next tank and will let you guys know how it ran. I alwasy had been a fan of renewable fuels.

Somewhere I said before, I use Ethanolfuels because I had a big input into the design and testing of the EthanolPlant at Sarina.

All the pumping equipment I designed and built was made in 316L stainless steel. Which is pretty good shit. I think a lot of opponents may think that because your fuel lines are not SS then they are going to rust, so is your tank.

Well Ethanol (aka Ethyl Alcohol) is the GOOD stuff in Bundy, Jim,Jack and not to mention Johnnie, (Walker not Howard) and my tank or fuel lines haven't the slightest trace of rust, and I've got XRays, Ultra Sounds, Nuclear Scans and MRI's to prove it.

As SK says, suk it an see. You'll only get a hang over. lollollol lots of efffinlol.

After the nuke scans u no y :O:spank:

HEY GUYS ITS LIKE THIS..........if fuel cost is a massive concern to you buy a frigging pulsar!!!!!!!!!!!!! just my ecu and turbo cost more than my fuel for the year,who cares about fuel!!!!!!!!! if you spend $5200 a tear on fuel($100 a week) the difference between $1.60 per litre and $1.20 per litre is $3 a day.dont up size your zinger burger meal for lunch and where down to $2 a day.when that dick at the lights in an SS commondore trys to race your....dont...theres another litre of fuel saved...now where down to .40c difference.dont get sauce on the pie you had for morning tea and BINGO fuels back to a $1.20 a litre........

Been using Boost98 for 8 months in a 340awkw GTR, which is also my daily. As Sydney Kid pointed out - there have been no issues, the car made more power at the same boost (with retune on D-jetro), the fuel economy has improved (380-400kms/tank) and its cheaper!!

I rate Boost98 very highly and recommend you give it a crack - get your car tuned on it and see how it goes. From what this thread has outlined - what have you got to lose?!

yeah oil has dropped 56c yesterday and today (tuesday) by another 64c so it should drop the bowser price but then we have wanka's like coles who want to make more profit and so have raised the price by 11c keeping the price up there still.

They said the oil price drop was due to an abundance of oil stocked... or something like that. Looks like all those using gas is paying off :D

People forget that everytime they have a glass of wine they are drinking more than 10% ethanol.

If we can survive drinking it, im sure our cars will be ok.

And of course Nissan wouldn't recommend it, otherwise they would have to be responsible if anything did happen. And they ain't gonna spend a single dollar doing research into ethanol fuels in their cars when they wont make a cent out of it..

Blind drunk maybe?? Of course not 100% ethanol, but 10% is fine i guess?

Ive just filled my car on monday for the first time with Boost98

paid $120.9 per litre. Cheapest fill in over 2 years i reckon, only 2-4 cents more than 91 octane at a name brand servo.

So far the car seems to be even running better than optimax/synergy etc.... and I've done over 250kms on less than half a tank.

Look up Google or Wikipedia.

Ethanol, aka ethyl alcohol is the good stuff. Methanol, aka methyll alcohol,aka

methlyated spirits, is the BAD SHIT.

Today at United Nerang, 10% 98 was 108.9 per litre.

As people from Manchester say, GO UNITED! :woot::nuke:

i filled up my series 2 for a weekend run down the coast.

we did 610klms on 65litre tank using the boost 98 only thing i noticed that was bad, was there was a bit more soot in the exhaust outlet and on the rear gate for the first half of the trip, but once i washed the car it hasn't been there again so maybe it was just blowing the old carbon deposits out?.

all in all it seems to be a good product and i will continue to use it, engine feels a little smoother at idle too so that cant be bad.

  • 3 months later...

spoken to Ben in regards to the boost 98.

He told me to fill up either Bp Ultimate or Mobil 8000 for the tune and after that i can use the boost 98 w/o having to retune

Ethanol won't make you blind. Sucks if it does as I've been making the stuff for 2 years now and drinking it regulary. Damn.

100% ethanol (96.4% - can't get 100% unless you use special expensive technology) won't make you blind. Just really drunk and make your throat really sore.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
