Petrol brand aint so important.. If you are tuned on V power or vortex or 2000 then if you use BP it wont matter, Its pretty obvious BP has hell high quality octane in it as on a stock car it made my engine not burn it correctly and back fire.. If anything u tune on another fuel and then use BP.. It still makes the car feel shit tho.. Its as if it does not burn.

Works fine when the engine is quite warm tho..

Should clarify..

The tune you get on a paritucular fuel gives you, depending on what you ask for: Good KM vrs Fuel consumption or Fuel for Power.. Vortex is actually rated the best Power giving petrol.. But I find it burns very quickly

Safc is included in aftermarket.. Its using fuel/airflow mixtures to get the best power or km depending on your tune... Id say doof has one too.

Good thing about stock ecu.. When you put new fuel in it adjusts for that fuel to try give best mixtures.. But we all know the ecu sux at that. Safc is tuned on a particular fuel its not so much an issue tho.. A standalone tune is actually tuned to prevent knock but give power so its more important.

Just get a knocklite if you run a safc and it will help or dyno it with diff fuels.. lol

See now if you have ever met me and seen my car you would know that I DON'T have an SAFC :)

I don't have shit... I had planned to skip all that and buy a new ECU outright... this plan started at the dawn of Apexi cancelling their PFCs... and then the prices went up...

The SAFC tricks the ECU to change the fuel and airflow mix like Nath said... It won't make a massive massive difference, but it would be best to stick with what it was tuned in, cause it was custom tuned for that type of fuel...

I've come to realise that V Power Racing burns REALLY fast too... I was pretty much at 100kms before this optishit started dropping off full... I'll check when I go home, cause that's pretty nuts...

my work has been running out of ultimate on some tanks but not others and we always have premium.. the government took the rebate off petrol which is why its 13c more then regular unleaded not 11c.. I've heard a rumour that BP has been running out because they dont have their own depot (could possibly be only in newcastle) and we share shells depot and they're giving us trouble lol ... I'm not sure if thats 100% why they're running out but its definatly a reason..

I have heaps of skyline owners come in and used regular ethanol unleaded in their cars lol I cringe of course but couldnt be too bad for it in an emergency

had to pour a lil bit of that crappy ethanol addative petrol from shell :S :S

what's crappy about it?

you get slightly better economy on it, it's 3c per litre cheaper than normal petrol and it has the same octane rating as premium unleaded

so that'll be win/win/win then

      MLR's Bogan cruise ship

      Ha ha ha, I read that he had it based on brownie points so knew it wasn't going to be sold   I also am only shit stirring on buying, while they'd all be great cars, I don't need more, I actually sold one a few weeks ago. And immediately bought more tools...

      I thought you might have asked about the Honda, but as the boy just wrote off his Patrol, and was trying to find a cheap daily to get by with, I decided to give the Honda to him

      Axle back, new thermostat and coolant bottle arrived from MX5 Mania, I'm still waiting for Super Cheap to get back to me with my order, once I get everything in my hands I'll take some leave and "play", starting with serving and fitting parts, then detail I honestly think this is the most fun part about getting a new old car

      Yet another clutch question

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I haven't been able to try a coppermix twin but I tried a 997.2 Turbo 6MT the other day with a single plate organic clutch that had all the springs removed so it's "for race use" and a stronger pressure plate. Absolutely miserable to drive. I couldn't feel the pressure plate weight because the pedal has hydraulic assist from the power steering pump but the slip point felt like I had to flex my big toe to control it because it was so sensitive. The clutch also shuddered horribly at the slip point. My best guess looking at the previous owner documentation is they tried to resurface the dual mass flywheel due to supply chain issues + used a stupid clutch with no marcel springs or any of the usual tricks that trade burst strength for driveability. I ordered the coppermix twin. Once it gets here I'll try to figure out whether to shop this job out to a local mechanic I can trust or try to DIY it.
