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. :(

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
