avgas can be run as a normal fuel, there arent alot of advantages except u may be able to run a little more boost. The c16 is a totally different game, as it is a very light fuel with a much higher liquid to gas exchange rate this means you need alot more to fill the combustion chamber and very quickly. Your standard fuel system will not cope you will firstly need to up the injectors so the fuel can flow faster, up the pump or at least regulate the pressure. You will also need to make drastic ignition timing changes which can not be applied to any other fuels you will need to run alot more advance as the fuel burns different to normal fuel, i can check with my dad the exaact principles behind it all as he has played around with methonol motors before. Best idea for a quick fix is avgas with 25% toulene (methylbenzyne i think, maybe??). Hope this little bit helps tell me if u need more info i can definately help you out!! :P

Apart from that AVGAS will stuff your cat in no time at all. I've heard it can also damage the oxygen sensor.

It is chock full of lead. Even 100LL(low lead) has some thing like 4 times the lead the old Super had.

The EPA will fine you big-time if they find this stuff in your car. Just a warning. :cheers:

get a dyno-tune and run it on BP Ultimate or similar.

    • Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?
    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
