Caltex got the best? Apparently BP is best for R33's.... like u said, doesnt matter... Car still runs better on BP premium. :cheers:

i dunno either? but the way i look at it and my opinion is:

BP ultimate = Pioneer

Shell = Sony

Caltex = Panasonic

United = DSE/Home Brand

or in other words cheapo fuels will burn quicker because of quality? but i'm a noob so odn't listen to me lolz.

well octanes under a micro scope look different . the caltex ones have much better athletic bodies and are trained at high altitude. where a mobil octane tends to be more or a muscular octane with short burst power that fades away over distance .... the bp ultimate is a combination of vortex and sugar free redbull hence why the turboed cars tend to go reel well on it until the taurine wears off on hot humid temperatures.

Thats kilometer wise, how about engine wise? or the feel of how much better does your car run?

doesnt seem to be saying no to it :cheers:

very very smooth.

All the 98ron fuel go well with the engine, but the caltex one gets more klms per ltr

in true ACA fashion, that test was pathetic and proved nothing but how their topics are chosen on the basis of how interesting the ad will sound.

the test was done on standard unleaded for starters. the difference in mileage could easily be attributed to the car on the day. we all know that no two cars are exactly the same, even if theyre the same model.

the difference between best and worse was soemthing like 8%. but then they decided to run 2 of the cars (why only 2?) on premium on the run back (BP and i think Mobile?).

the difference there over the standard unleaded was 7%. lol. so the test was basically a waste of time and told us nothing about anything.

Just watched it...

At the end of the day, they're the same model cars, but they're not THE SAME CAR, so its not exactly an accurate test...not to mention that any difference in throttle application before they got onto the freeway will affect the overall outcome. Not to mention that the speedo on each car might be different to the speedo on all of the others etc...so when they're dealing with a difference of 600ml, it really doesn't mean a thing considering all of the variables in the test.

I can't believe they even needed to test driving aggressively against driving conservatively...did they expect it to not turn out that way?

I hate these shows with their bullshit 'journalism'.

I wonder if ACA will be fined for littering, when the bald tosser threw $20 out the window...

Don't use United and Liberty fuels... reason being, that they're bio-fuels

pulled fuel lines and changed fuel filter out of a truck the other day and found it to have slimy moss (green stuff on rocks)

couldn't believe it... never again will i use these fuels, but wanting to try ethanol based fuels

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
