More Expensive Fuel

[Gus-]

well,

was thinking today while i was fueling up...if servo's offered a fuel with a higher octane rating (higher than 98 i mean) would you pay the extra to put it into your car?

jsut a thought as i reckon if it was avail and it made a difference then i would...so yeah?

Yep, Id pay more for higher octane

[bloodzkull]

if a major provider offered a higher octane at at least most of it's servo's i'd get my gtr tuned for it now. only reason i never got it tuned for the 100 octane stuff shell was selling is because only a few servo's did it. nearest one to me being a 20minute drive

I would. I had my GTR tuned to Shells V Power Racing and it isnt available anymore which is a royal pain in the arse. Retune anyone?

[Kujotk]

definately would, also united has brought out 100 octane fuel

[bozodos]

I thought that 100 octane fuel just didnt have enough appeal to the wider market, hence Shell dumped it.

I would just stick to 98.

I believe the cars which are imported from Japan get a tune to our AUS fuel...

That 100 Octane did not make much of a difference in some cars unless it was tuned for it.

i'm currently getting setup for e85 if that answers your question

[Gus-]

yeah ive read guilt toys (i think its his) thread on e85...looks like good stuff...

but availability is the problem i guess.

how much was the tune + any other changes for E85????

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

tune is dependant on your tuner

other than that i just need datalogit now

Hi all,

I have a 33 s1 and i only use 98 octane

95 is dirt for any jap car (pings+++) and from what i gathered from using ethonol blended fuels...........well..................i stalled when i was going around a corner, lost power stearing and it was very interesting from then onwards!!

I have been using BP fuel only and it has worked a treat so far. I think with fuel its simple...............what you pay for is what you get, its that simple.

Regards, Evan

I'm seriosuly looking at it now. I'm just a tad worried about my fuel system. 800 CC injectors and a Nismo intank pump enough to supply 400 + KW at the treads on E85?

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

couldn't say... but i'd say it'll be aight

what's you max injector duty cycle?

guilt toy has been doing a bit of testing and he recons my 555's should see me to 300rwkw

[Turbotonic]

mate i would go for the 100 octane for sure

Ohh... 87-88%. Hmmm thinking about it i dont think i have the fuel system to handle it. DAMMIT!
