I'm looking into the possibility of getting some 20L drums of Toluene.

Would anyone be interested at between $35-40 for them?

I'll have a definate answer on this after Christmas, and just wanted to gauge the number of people interested?

Knore: It's used as a fuel additive. It is not a complete fuel. It is usually mixed as a percentage with 98 octane fuel.

Eg: 40L BP Ultimate plus 4L Toluene is a 10% mix.

It allows you to run slightly higher boost or slightly advanced timing without pinging...

I've only ever used it as a safeguard, rather than a power producing thing. And only at the track... No really! :P

It is also commonly refered to as Methyl Benzene, and it is primarily used as a paint stripper...

Google "toluene octane" and check the results... Also do a search on here. Pretty sure it's been discussed before...

It looks like it'll be $38 for a 20L, how does that sound to you guys?

Hey Dan, it is Darrin here who you bought your turbo off for your car.

My Dad buys 200L of methanol each month from a company called AFCC in Brisbane near the gatetway bridge south side ph33894844

They sell tolene for $53 +gst for 20L (not cheap) but they also sell it by the 200L drum for $277 +gst which is $304.70

Divide that by 10 equals $30.47 for 20L, but you will need your own 20L drums to split it up.

I can get hold of the pump from my dad to decanter into 20L drums

Let me know if your keen.

I would be interested in 20L myself.

Jay, this can be an ongoing thing depending on demand, I can't see any reason why I couldn't keep up with everyones requirements.

My contact was away today, but I'll have a chat with him tomorrow and get some dates happening.

VIPERGTSR01 - as for mixes it all depends on what octane you're chasing...some people go for 30% mixes...other running serious boost put in straight toluene.

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
