Race Fuels Testing

[ZX2NV]

Well I cant help myself again

This is sort of a follow on from the Place your bets thread I started a week or so ago.

Myself and JP at UAS have sort of half organised yet to 100% confirm a fuel test comparison that will hopefully be picked up by HPI, ZOOM or Autosalon Magazine etc.

There has been fuel comparisons in the past but not tune specific race fuels as far as I am aware. So we plan to test the main contenders

First up we have the Martini M110 or Superturbo 1400 (new name) it comes in 20 litre drums at around $170 a drum. Readily made and available ex Melbourne or direct from the dealer UAS

Second on the list we have Sunoco GT Plus in comes in 20, 50 and 205 litre drums or pumped into your own drums slightly cheaper at $6.60 a litre. It is manufactured in the USA and readily imported and available through Hi Octane Racing in NSW.

Lastly we have the ELF Turbomax. It comes in 20, 50 and 205 litre drums and and runs at around $8 per litre. It's available through the ELF agents in NSW or direct from the dealer UAS.

So what will happen no body really knows there is a lot of talk on which is better and we will find out.

They will be tested back to back in ZX2NV, a highly modified but still stock engine and turboed Nissan 300ZX twin turbo.

Stay Tuned

Jeez that stuff is expensive. No wonder I haven't bothered until now.

Good luck with it. Should be quite interesting.

I would consider it for drag racing but I doubt I would retune, just add timing until the knock increases.

I thought Sunoco was imported by VPW and Hi Octane were a distributor..... either way, good stuff.

Timing advances are common but some like the ELF and Martini require richening as they burn quicker so use your fuel per combustion cycle. There is specific tuning requirments from each manufacturer to ensure the optimum result is achieved from there product.

It does seem expensive but the power gain potential is very high. My car made an extra 26 odd rwkw tuning for Martini and that was with massive boost leaks so will be interesting to see what it pulls Thursday with that all fixed and steady boost

You might be correct 2rismo I will look into it while at HOR today
