No more 8000 at the bayside/brighton mobil.

No Ultimate at the bayside or southbank BP's.

No Vortex at Elsternwick.

I had to borrow my mum's subaru after I limped my car to my folks house on the sniff of a damp rag =( Last time I run that far below 1/4 tank.

Reason? Every one of my cars has been run on Shell. I've only filled up a few times on any other fuel, and it doesn't run the same.

i found it didnt like as much timing in the datto, and it ran crappy, and stagea feels like arse on it, mrs's old supra did too... datto's head gasket went on shell, only fuel friends have done head gaskets on is shell, so i will follow my theory that you may think is silly, and i will say i dont like it!

well kew bp has been out for a week now.

i went to mobil today on glenferrie road there out of 8000

does anyone know why this is? and isnt it suss that it one place it out of premium they all are.?

its very frustrating. 95octane+aircon= crap ride

Octane boosters dont do anything. They are bad news.

BP on FTG Road Oakleigh was out of 98

BP on Princes near Wellington Rd was out of 98

BP on Centre Road near Clayton Rd was out of 98

=

95 and -5 deg of timing on the PFC just to be safe...

I spoke to the guy at Centre Rd and he said there was no more until Monday, more is coming Monday.

WTF is going on???!

Ultimate being delivered today at:

Small amount to BP Glenroy today (under 10,000 litres)

Small amount to Dandenong Rd, Clayton

Average amount to Calder Highway outbound (15,000 litres)

Average amount to Deer Park, Western Highway

Average amount to Moonie Ponds

Average amount to Swan St, Richmond

Average amount to Sunshine Avenue

Average amount to Burwood Highway (blackburn rd, burwood hwy)

Small amount to Frankston, Nepean Hwy

Small amount to Little Boundary Rd

That was today, off for some beer and dinner, I have the rest of the weekend's too.

It was hard enough for me to put 95 in my car for less than 30kms before i got to a servo that had 98

Using 91 would be like pouring cats piss into the tank mate :domokun:

Not a good thing, 95 if you HAVE too and take it easy... 91 is just wrong town, drive very easy and slowly :P

    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
    • Do this, and we'll have a resource right here.
    • "Hybrid" is a meaningless term. I could not tell you what the vendor of that turbo means by "hybrid".
