V Power Racing

Its weird, the car tends to run better with it - sitting at idle and its nice and smooth, when i tried mobil synergy it ran rough, coughed and spluttered on idle - yes, i did run it for a few tanks too. Seemed to get better economy from v power too

Only crap thing is that not all shells stock the V Power Racing. You may be interested in this if you did not catch it on RPM

And the ones that do stock it have supply problems (in Brisbane anyway). My local was out of the stuff for 6 weeks and that's in metro Brissy as well.

Regretted getting my car tuned on the stuff, should have stuck to BP ulitmate.

Ultimate - as I have a BP 100 meters up the road and it seems to be recommended by most people here. It is also only 10 cents per litre more expensive than ULP. Synergy 8000 was about a 12 cent premium and Shell's old Optimax Extreme 100RON with ethanol (I assume its now called V Power Racing) was about 15 cents per litre more expensive than ULP. I have used Synergy 8000 before and that was really good - the car ran smooth and got good mileage out of it.

I've used the Caltex Vortex 98, BP Ultimate, Mobil Synergy 8000, Shell V Power & Shell V Power Racing. The Shell V Power Racing is far superior than any of the others I have found. The car runs so smoothly and has more 'get up and go'. I'm lucky to have one 5 mins down the road from where I live. Once you've tried the V Power Racing you won't want to go back to anything else.

    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
    • Mine is all -12, I’m running a dry sump in a billet block though 
    • HG's high flow is not "bolt on". The core is shorter, moves the comp cover rearwards in the engine bay. means you have to deal with the inlet plumbing a little bit. This is probably something to consider with every "bolt on" turbo anyway.
