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.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
