I run toluene whenever I know im gonna drive my car hard; ie cruises etc. I use ~15% mix. Makes a good deal of difference, however for me its just as an extra measure of protection against detonation. Every little bit helps!

I'd rather use Toluene than a Octane Booster cos toluene is the real deal, doesnt coat ur plugs and leave deposits in your combustion chamber, and I know it works. Ive read _some_ octane boosters just "change" the sound of detonation (ie modify the flame front), so you cant hear it... Im not takin risks with that, true or not.

F1 cars used Toluene (albeit at a much higher conc tho). Cant go wrong there... =)

You can get VP Racing fuels from Hume Performance in Liverpool, that was the closest to me its the only place i payed any attention to.

@ close to $4 per litre it may be legal, but expensive.

When you say 'and its legal' i appreciate that you shouldnt use toluene on the road, but is it still illegal to be using on the track???

Surely if cats can be removed , and drag cars can run blah, blah, blah, i can use some toluene in my tank at the track?

Is Avgas the same as Toluene? Where is Efl turbo max readily available (like Autobarn or shell for guys up in QLD).

YRL - I take it you don't run a little Toluene each tank anymore?

Autobarn Stones Corner has Methyl Benzine for $45 for 20L Brisbane people

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
