No V-power Racing?

[R33_Rob]

Hi guys

Maybe this has already been covered but if you dont know why there isnt any V power racing at your local servo heres why.

(i spoke to people at the shell servo to find out).

Apparently a shipment of octane-boosting-chemicals is shipped from geelong to queensland where it is mixed at the refineries to get 100 octane fuel. HOwever there have been troubles with this shipment and as a result the octane-boosting-chemicals have not been delivered to the refineries so they cant make V-Power Racing.

Yes it has 100 ron and ethonol.

[gun32gtr]

[Owgasm]

100% is super for performance isn't it?

what % is V-Power?

[Interloper]

is it any good for our cars

only if your ecu is specifically tuned for it.

Yes and no . 100 ron means you can tune it with more timming so you get a little more power.

No because ethonol is not a lubricant like oil it is corrosive .. You make your own choice ..The good bit about it, it only has 5% ethonol..

Owgasm , It is not % mate its 100ron and V power is 98 ron , you can buy 91,95,98 and 100 rom pump fuel here now .

Yea i was wondering why all the Servos Ive been to in brissy, have signs on their V-Power Racing pumps 'sorry not in use'

[Owgasm]

I've not seen a V-Power Racing Pump

Or just thought V-Power was the only option :S

anyone been to the shell at Logan Lea. Did/do they have V-Power Racing. I fueled up today and used V-Power it was red, no idea if it was V-power Racing.

But i got a pack of CARDS!! lol! Collecting cards.

Its true, but the actual fuel isnot that mainstreem so its at selected stores. V- Power is stocked evrywhere.

Personaly i use Mobil, i find its better for me in terms of how quick it burns. Other than that, i dont havy any big mods so i cant tell if it goes harder between all the fuels. BP burnt the quickest.

[Owgasm]

Thanks for that.

Is it much more expensive than V-power?

I paid 131/l yesterday for normal V-Power.

10C on the top of 98, no use to you unless you tune your car for it .

Jap cars are designed to run on 100RON. However, it's a bit too expensive and inconvenient for me so I'm living with 98 RON.

Ethanol is a solvent, rather than corrosive. Petrol is a solvent as well, in many ways. Ethanol is probably a bit more aggressive which is why some people are worried about rubber fuel lines etc.

That said, Sydneykid has been running an ethanol mix in his skyline for years and regularly cuts open his fuel filters to inspect them, and has never seen any evidence of a problem. That's good enough for me.

The last lot they had at Compton Rd was selling 30c over the 98RON...that's just a f**king joke. I can pick up 500g of octane booster from a chemical supplier for $150 that's enough for 104RON with 2500L petrol!!!!

racing is sold in fully sick areas .. so places like bankstown or la parouse etc.. in sydney that is.
