Power FC Knocks at about 35 on shell optermax BP Knocks at 25 Max

any thing other 40+ ;(

I know this question can open a can of worms. But i have heard from a few  

guys that optimax is bad then bp is another and also vortex is pretty good. Just wanna hear your view.

BTW also any other fuels that u have noticed.

i have not used Shell Obtimax yet but i did my own lil test and found out that i get more Mileage from BP premium rather then BP ultimate

i have no idea why.

Sorry to bring this up again

but did any of you watch Current Affair this week where they did the petrol test

they tested the different petrol’s and found the same with my above quote!

ive only ever put bp ulitmate in my car, i reckon it runs good on it... although i havnt tested every fuel available so i couldnt really say, tryed vortex once coz i couldnt find a bp, didnt seem to be much difference in response at all.

sydneykid: how do you know which state has what refineries and how many there are? do you work for a fuel company or something? not having a go, just curious to know.

give bp premium a go you will be surprised

Give Expensomax a go, you'll 'also' be surprised!!

Just ran another tank of Ultishit through the line after 6 weeks (thought I'd be surprised), well, nup!! Low economy and less pull in second and 3rd. Back to expensomax, after 2 fills, all is good again. (not surprised at this either).

How could the graph be soooooo one sided, ...I mean this forum contains mostly keen and smart drivers, so I guess the general populus must know what they're on about!! Would've thought maybe a 60-40 for Ultra crap, not the current trend though!! Emeeeysink!! :confused:

Expensomax? Don't you use the dockets? You might wanna start calling it Fourcentoffmax... or Cheapomax (not that they're so cheap) ;)

I think it all depends which servo you're filling in. Based on what effect I felt

on car performance after I refill:

BP on Heidelberg Rd has better fuel than the nearby Shell on the same road,

Shell on Bell St Preston has better fuel than this Heidelberg Shell,

Mobil in Racecourse Rd feels better than the Mobil in Coburg's Bell St, and

and the BP & Shell in Sunbury feels both has equal quality.

Yo not to take a stab at u,but you say that you are to cool for a docket,so you would rather rip yourself off then save $2.

What happens when you are on your 25th tank im sure it would save you a few tanks worth in a line per yr.Especially if your foot had lead in it.

Obviously you dont do the shopping. :confused:

Cant see why i would want take 1.why are u offering to do it for me.

If premium were better to use we would all be using it.But we dont.I think it's just a price thing.Bang 4 buck thing.Somthing 1 would get their car tuned on if they were peterol price concious.:pimp:

yo, who's the 'cool' one bro's!!??

I don't do my shopping at the relevant brand shops to get the dockets to get the $2.00(????) off the expensomax!! Did u consider that, yo?

I'm no lead foot, I get more value that way than the crappy few cents redeemed on a docket!! (but hey, each to their own way of doing their financials!!)

Obviously also not considered?

Also, where did I state that I "was too cool"?

NB. notice the 'too' is correctly used in this sentence?

And, what does happen on my '25th tank', yo?

Not taking a stab bro's, but feck dat!! :( and have a great day!

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
