Most probably my driving style :) It's gone up since i installed the front pipe though.. i picked up a couple pound of boost right there.

But the stop start traffic to work in the city doesn't help either.

Funny thing is, it was running much richer before i had my ignition issues sorted out, so in theory it should've been lower. After my next round of modifications i'll go back and see Shaun at boostworks for a dyno tune.

They have this at the west terrace shell as off yesterday i think. I put it in mine as i couldnt be bothered moving the car again once i had noticed they changed it. Only thing for me seems a bit smoother but i was only on ulp 95ron before not a 98 one

V power is nothing more than optimax.....

V power racing is just the optimax extreme....

game over!

for what its worth the V power racing is a performance gain!

300kw GTR will get about 10kw after tuning on it :P

also of note is the fact that V8 supercar advertise that they use this fuel.... they don't !

why????

in initial testing, it was used and melted the inner foam filled fuel tank causing 40k damage to SBR fuel cells and systems etc.... they use the 98 version being V power, but it is V8SA special blend...

how much power does this give???

MORE than the V power racing!!!! lol

(have tested them all in a controlled environment :)

It;s just really important to have a good O2 sensor. I was getting 15's before hand.

You should calculate it out mate it's not that hard, & see if you got bad or good economy. Pleanty of guys are getting economy better than me, they MUST drive like grandma's :) or on highways a lot.

i also keep a detailed log of my travels. i get 11L/100km. varied style of driving and alot of peak hr traffic stop and go. replacing the 02 sensor did wonders to my car. but then again, car never has a full tank of petrol - most is 1 bar, no rear seats (weight nothing anyways) and no spare wheel in boot.

I stumbled upon this little doco.

Unsure if the fuel follows the same receipt here in AUS but none the less..

On my travels I've also seen mention of BP and their new 102RON fuel.

Yeah I've been driving mine around for the last week, using the air-con half the time, driving only in suburban & city traffic & always fill the tank to the top & netted 11.7L/100km when I filled it up today. Pretty good really.

Not if you were going to buy something in the store anyway Joel.

One of the best things ever was getting the company car.

I haven't looked at the price of fuel in ages - when the weekender needs fuel it just gets it.

Sorry if that's rubbing things in.

does anyone here honestly care about fuel economy???

if you do, and you own a big 6 turbo car ( GTR in my case ) you own the wrong car!!!

I couldnt care less how much fuel is! if your that concerned about MPG, get a getz or a jazz! lol... or even a very sporty toyota hybrid .. errr!

so seriously, yes V power racing is a good pump fuel, infact it is less than 2% off the best power we got on MARTINI 110!

so at $7 per ltr V $1.50 it is a good bang for your buck :D

but you cant get it here in SA .... yet :D

so the fuel to have currently? BP98....

Why piss money against the wall when you don't have to?

The Skylines do and are supposed to return good economy, if one isn't then it has issues and something isn't right.

Isn't an economy/power balance the whole idea of turbo?

Small motor, better economy yet it has the boot when you want it.

they are turbos not blowers... it comes in at higher RPMs when u put ur foot down, some people drive like maniacs and thats why they buy alot of fuel.

here here thankyou

well filled up with Vmax today so lets see how we go

i think the main time i tested the BPultimate was on a hills cruise and you hardly get out of 3rd gear for those (well i dont i like revs when i need it)

    • HyperGear. Just get a high flow of the stocker. Good, reliable, and should bolt on. Yes it will want things like a retune once done, so you need to factor this in to your spend too.
    • Hi. Iam looking for some "cheaper" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO. I do not want "big" power just better reliability than the stock turbo which is "fot now" good but is old and i do not think it has "easy" life. One the Skyline here running some "temu" china Turbo but i dont trust those... Thanks!

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
