I knew that, hence why I said the 100% illegal part...

I wouldn't mix it with my fuel.

And I don't use sugarcane, too much effort. I just buy sugar at like $1.50/kg.

ohh i forgot to mention. I filled up with boost 98 on tuesday when i was driving up from the city.

Overall i felt the car running smoother. Milaeage wise it seems to be the same but theres a price difference by about 10cents/liter compared to the normal 98 octane fuel. I will be using this fuel all the time now for this car. so...

There's a United servo which has just opened up near my house - it used to be an old Mobil. When I next need fuel I'm gonna check if they have Boost 98 and try a few tanks to get an impression of how the car will run long-term.

Until now, I would have had to travel quite a distance (and totally out of my way) to get to a United servo, so it's good that I've now got the opportunity to see how it is for myself.

You can actually check out the United website and you will be able to see a listing of the service station which got the boost 98.

Im on my 3rd tanks now im sold on it. Wouldnt get the normal 98 now. Filling up a tank now would cost me no more than $60 now. :)

Just checked, they're still not listed on the website, but they've only been open a few weeks at the most...

When I next drive past I'll have a quick look.

hmm you might want to call the gas station and ask them wheter they have boost 98? Thats wat i did and i asked them about the price too!! They wer a bit reluctant in telling me the prices over the phone.

I was just driving back today from the city to Heathcote and i past wallan and kilmore. These 2 towns and United boost98 and their prices was 10cent different!!!! Keep a sharp eye on the prices dont get ripped off people.

hey guys just a little imput dont know if it matters on this forum, but before i had the stagea i use to drive my holden GTS HQ 1972 every where and i was alsways hunting around for the best fuel for it. I found that boost 98 gave me the best economy and i had no problems with power or responce, that was when i lived 10 minutes from the united servo in frankston. havnt tried it in my stagea yet coz i moved to ACT and now live across from a caltex but i reacon it should be fine. the old girl use to real feel it when i put a shiiiitttttty fuel in her.

there you go another statisfied user. The best of all is the savings roughly about 10bucks/tanks in savings. doesnt take into considerations the discount fuel vouchers of 4cents/liter.

I've been using it and it's good. Cheaper than bloody regular 91RON from Woolworths in some cases, even with the 4c per litre "discount" they're supposed to give you if you take your shop-a-dockets...

    • Can u check this way it works for power supply?
    • These coils draw 10amps that what i read online
    • I appreciate the detailed explanation, think I understand now. I spent the better part of last night reading what I could about shuffle and potential solutions. I had replaced the OEM twin turbo pipe with an alternate Y pipe that is separated further away from the turbo. The current one is from HKS and I had a previous pipe that was separated even further away, both have shuffle. I had heard that a divider can be welded in to the OEM pipe to remove turbulence, and figure that aftermarket pipes that are more separated would achieve the same thing. From what I read, most people with -10 turbos get shuffle due to their size, though it's a bit less common with -5s on a standard RB26. I think Nismoid mentioned somewhere it's because OEM recirculation piping is common in Australia with -5 cars. It seems that the recommendation tends to vary between a few options, which I've ordered in what I think is most feasible for me:  1. Retune the MAP or boost controller to try to eliminate shuffle 2. Install OEM recirculation piping 3. Something called a 'balance pipe' welded onto the exhaust manifolds. I don't know if kits for this are available, seems like pure fabrication work 4. simply go single turbo My current layout is as follows: Garrett 2860 -5s HKS Racing Suction intake MAF delete pipes HKS racing chamber intake piping hard intercooler piping,  ARC intercooler HKS SSQV BOV and pipe Haltech 2500 elite ECU and boost solenoid/controller HPI dump pipes OEM exhaust manifolds HKS VCAM step 1 and supporting head modifications Built 2.6 bottom end All OEM recirculation piping was removed, relevant areas sealed off I'll keep an eye out for any alternative solutions but can get started with this.  Only other question is, does shuffle harm the turbo (or anything else)? It seems like some people say your turbo shafts will explode because of the opposing forces after a while and others say they just live with it and adjust their pedal foot accordingly. 
    • That worked out PERFECTLY! Thank you big time to JJ. He was able to swap me his stock diff. He drove all the way to me as well. Killer! Removal & install was pretty straightforward. The diff itself is HEAVY. So that’s a 2 man job.  Man does the car drive nice now! Couldn’t have worked out any better 👌
