Hi,

I am looking at 2 kinds of race fuels, namely VP MSC100 and VP Motorsport 109. Anyone used them before with any inputs? I have spoken to The Brock Shop who have done dyno testing on race fuels and they suggested to me that the VP MSC100 burns better, is more oxygenated n churned out more power on the dyno than the 109 although the 109 has a higher octane level. They have also adviced that the MSC100 protects better than the VP109. Any input and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers, Jyo.

"Burns Better" and "Protects Better" are not terms that can apply to each and every engine as all engines have different characteristics. I would contact a workshop that has done fuel testing with RB series engines.

109 octane fuel will be harder to ignite but reduce knock.

100 octane fuel will be easier to ignite, but may not allow much more than 24 psi (guestimate)

all depends on what your motor/turbo combination is

VP Motorsport C100 isn't oxygenated and (IMHO) it's MON of 96 is a bit low for good knock control in a high rpm engine.

VP Motorsport 109 is oxygenated and the best of the VP unleaded fuels for drag racing, be aware that it needs good igntion systems. It's MON of 101 is more like what I would want in big power/high rpm RB. Keep in mind that it's SG is low (0.722) so you will need more fuel than the common 0.75 to 0.80 fuels to achieve the same A/F ratios.

:dry: cheers :)

PS; keep in mind that both of the above are nasty on humans, so don't inhale it or spill on yourself.

If i were to mix 20L of VP109 with 40L of BP ultimate fer a track session, is that advisable? With that combination, what kind of specifications of an ignition system do i need? Or would 20L of VP103 and 40L of BP ultimate be better? I'm running approx. 21-22psi of boost in a rb26 with 34 N1s. I've got a pretty rich tune at the moment too.

It's irresponsible of anyone to suggest what your car will handle unless they're reviewing a dyno run. If you're just after some cheap insurance for your engine for a track day, run a couple of bottles of octane booster in a full tank of fuel. You certainly can mix unleaded fuels together with no ill effects but a proper tune is the best insurance you can get.

Yeah i understand that nobody can give me an accurate piece of advice, i've been mixing octane boosters fer track days in the past and the car certainly seems to run much better cuz the last tune was in japan and it definitely feels like the tune in japan was done on higher octane than 98 after reviewing the dyno graphs here, that's why im thinking of giving the racefuel mix a go. Just wondering if its safe n whether the car will run properly as i've also been adviced that race fuels mixed with BP ultimate is a better alternative to octane boosters as octane boosters are not that good fer the engine. I'm not too inclined with knowledge on racefuels n am just hoping to get some sort of advice. :(

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
