bahh!!!!!!!!!! 350 at rears on 1.3 bar!!!!!!!!!!!

u would hate to get a bad batch of that 98 RON stuff.. goodbye engine!!!

anyone know where to get tolulene in decent quantity's and wether u need a licence to store it???

i know its not good to run in your car all the time, but good to have if u are going to the track or the strip.

Would you mind me asking what you do as a profession? cos for a young bloke, u seem to have had some pretty serious cars already.

Nar i live in sandy bay car is making 350kw at the wheels at 1.3 bar for the street but can wind it up to 1.7bar so it can make a bit more. yeah fuel does cost me quite a bit.

As Tim the toolman would say; Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Tim, Toluene is available at moto sport in newstead. They make it up to your specs and the price isnt too bad either. Love the stuff. 5 Litres every third or fourth tank does wonders

The gain in octane is up to you. If you tell them you want it to go from 95 to 98 then they'll make a suitable solution up for you. Just be careful with the stuff though, only use it in a well ventilated area as it causes cancer, it melts everything, so try not to spill any (I did once and half my shoe was left melted to the ground.) and never go over 1 litre per every 10 of fuel, put to much in and it will do more harm than good. But do it properly and you'll love it.

Whats Toluene do? I though it was just a crappy by-product of crude oil. Found this info below on toluene.

Too much toluene may breach Australian standards

(Archived)

HOME > NEWSROOM > NEWS RELEASE > 2000-03-01

Excessive amounts of toluene could mean that the octane performance of fuel used in cars may not comply with Australian standards in this area, according to Standards Australia.

Standards Australia was commenting on allegations regarding a “petrol substitution racket” in Sydney, in which petrol is allegedly being diluted with toluene to increase profit margins.

Octane performance is covered by an Australian standard, which requires that various grades of petrol meet specified octane ratings. The Australian Standard- AS 1876 of 1990 “ Petrol (Gasoline) for Motor Vehicles”- also sets out requirements relating to contaminants such as lead and sulphur content.

The octane rating controls the “anti-knock” performance of car engines. If the octane rating is too low, the engine will “knock” and this will affect both its performance and increase the prospect of engine damage.

The “knock” is the “pinging” sound which older cars would make when petrol with too low an octane rating was used.

The voluntary standard was developed by interested industry, consumer and government organisations such as the Australian Automobile Association, the Australian Institute of Petroleum, the Federal Department of Transport and the then State Pollution Control Commission.

Compliance with the standard would generally be the responsibility of the organisation who supplies the fuel to the service station. However, service station proprietors also have a prime role in ensuring proper storage and freedom from contamination.

The thing to remember with it is that you can mix up solutions of toluene to have your desired effect. It could be weak as heel or extremely potent. just depends how its mixed up for you in the first place.

Moto sport is on killa faddy (spelling?) road next to store it safe and that.

I use to run toulene in my gtir and it worked well. I use to get it from bp at selfs point in 20L drums

I use to get pure toulene so i use to run 4L of toulene to 20L of fuel. Never had a problem.

    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
    • I would say no, why, because my daughter, who also lives in Goulburn, hasn't recommended us going there Pity, as we miss all the German joints around in Sydney, actually, the restaurants are the only thing I really miss about Sydney, and a special mention to Ishibanboshi at Bondi Junction, their Kara-age Don is heart cloggingly deliciousness (always added a special boiled egg...or 2) 😋 
    • Does that German restaurant still exist in the old place out the NW end of Goulburn? When I say "out the NW end of"...I am really being vague. It was 1997 when I was last there, and the only point of reference I can recall is that it was on the opposite side of the main drag from the big merino. And when I say "opposite side of the main drag", I don't mean "on the main drag". It was either a couple of streets back from there, or might have even been out in the sticks a bit further. Was an old farm building or mill or somesuch. And when I say "the big merino" I might actually be thinking of a completely different part of town, because I just looked on maps and the big bugger is not where I remembered him to be! The food was good, consisting largely of various German mystery-meat sausage/loaf things and kartofflen.
    • So while the second sentence is completely correct and the whole point of the conversation, the first sentence bears consideration. If this bloke is just hoping to throw big turbos on and drive it around, because there are no helpful facilities at all in his tropical paradise** then he likely has zero chance of even knowing what the TP is on the last column in the stock maps, let alone know whether the ECU is operating anywhere near it or past it. So the point is very very moot. And, per what I said before, at stock boost on those turbos, you may well be off the end of the map. **I'm just back from Vanuatu, so I know exactly what small Pacific nations can be like wrt paradise without requisite facilities. But it's not even that simple. I put a high flow on my car and had to drive it around without a proper tune because of the lack of opportunity*** to put the bigger AFM and injectors into it to allow it to be tuned. I had to turn the boost down to less than I had before, and back off the boost controller's ramp, because it was exploring parts of the map that it didn't drive in before, and really couldn't access for tuning on the dyno either, and so was pinging. It was still well within the last column, because when I first**** set up the Nistune on the Neo I rescaled all axes of the maps to give some more space to explore. ***Family dyno was broken ****This was 13 years ago, and the TIM thing wasn't a thing then and so TP would definitely grow when pushing past the stock tune's limits.
