BP is the only refinery in WA anyway, so technically it'll still be BP.

Usually other Brands put there own magic additives in the blend...

but otherwise it'll mean 98 will be easier to get in those situations where you would normally have to hunt for a BP... i think everyone here has had that experience at least once.

ok... who here every time they fill up on bp ultimate put a bottle of octane booster in as well? ive heard that the fuel in japan is 101 octane and that with our fuel we should put in a bottle of octane booster aswell

that would probably make your fuel 98.1 octane and give your plugs a beautiful orange colour

Dan, there actually some good octane boosters out there. Besides orange is pretty.

Can anyone CONFIRM where Peak get their 98 octane from. Is it in fact BP or is it from Singapore?

Well this is great news. The only reason I went to BP was because they were the only ones who had it, now that peak and caltex do i'll be able to shop around. Sure i'll probably only save a few cents each time I fill up, but it's more about the principal :laugh: (and the fact that I hate BP because they are always more expensive and bump up their prices randomly with no valid justification for doing so except to rip people off)

Well they all change their prices randomly. BP is no different.

Anyway why do you hate them so much. Just think where we would all be if BP didn't sell 98 Octane?

Just been on the phone to Peak. They often source their finsihed product from Singapore, but the chemist said their 98 is sourced from a Mobil refinery and is the same spec as the Utimate. I assume Caltex is sourced from one of their east coast refineries but I have not been able to confirm this.

Forgein ayyy! Good info skylion.

Should be cheaper but wont be as they colude to keep prices artificially high. Depending on what, if anything, is used to boost the octane rating, toluene (methylbenzene or phenylmethane) or ethanol it is reasonable to expect your tune up to change. I would be very careful with trying different fuel, check your AFR's and be prepared to make the changes. Hp gains have been made by Skyliners on the East Coast using Ethanol boosted fuels. Caveat emptor

Nicking fuel from the airport LOL mmmmm JetA1

imagine running jet avo fuel and having a bee*r limiter!!! = massive flames

pop, pop, pop, KERBANG, wooooooooooooooooooooosh!!!!!!!!!!!!

wouldn't adding ethanol and/or toulene be a good thing for your car as it burns better and cleaner?

if it is i can see how ur tune would change anyway

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
