I ran mine on BP Ultimate, they said guaranteed to be 98 octane at least.... I ran it on Optimax once in a while when I'm running low n no BP seen around, but the next chance I got, I'm back on BP's juice. Only used Mobil Synergy once but didn't notice difference. But car felt difference between BP & Optimax, BP gives me more midrange power.

Since I'm an n/a I get to use regular unleaded, but I only put in mobil, shell or caltex (shell n caltex use the same fuel anyways). Mostly mobil coz there's one across the road from me, plus I have this thing about using Mobil fuel with Pennzoil oils.

I've noticed I get much more k's out of a full tank of these 3 brands compared to any other. I don't touch independant, 7-11, or Woolworth fuel coz they found out that most of em were diluted in an independant investigation. If in desperation I only put enough of it in to get me to a Mobil or Shell station :D

i only use optimax... shellsville from where i drive so its more convenient... ive used mobil synergy 8000 i think it is once and didnt notice anything better from it and i used ultimate on sunday for the first time as i was near Dr_Drifts and that was the only thing around and that seemed to go fine.

like everyone has pretty much said... stick to high octane from brand servos and steer clear of the pov stuff.

*remembers mate having to drain fuel tank after filling up at an ampol or amtex or whatever the *** it was as it had lots of water in it and stuffed his engine*

      Dunno what to tell you, when I look at it on Consult I can see this warmup timing map kicking in around 40C coolant temp and it sticks around for a while:  At part throttle on the normal base timing map it peaks around ~43 degrees of timing or something like that, this warmup timing map drops it to like 12-15 degrees.

      I don't think that's what you're seeing. Something else doing that. The only time I've seen it get so retarded is when it's trying to control idle (in which case we're not talking about mapped timing tagets anyway) and when there is an extreme coolant temperature sensor fault. The RB26 ECU is essentially the same as the 20 ECU and I knew that ging inside out. There is no facility for it to retard that heavily on cold start. The OEMs never used to do it back then. I mean, shit, the catalyst is abotu 3 miles down the exhaust anyway. Early light-off was just a twinkle in some EPA arsehole's eye back then, not a regular engine control strategy.

      Swapped rb25de neo how to get the gear indication on the dash to work

      I must preface my comments with a general expression of ignorance. I have no specific knowledge of these NA automtaic things. I can only assume that the "steering wheel button" is for enabling the tiptronic controls. Wierd that it would even need/want a button for that... But anyway.... Was the car previously tiptronic? Did you put a new cluster in as part of all this?

      Regardless, it doesn't seem wise especially on RBs to actually chase MBT. Timing scatter is the big one on stock CAS, even if that's fixed overshoot is worse than undershoot.

      It's all about reducing the overall output. Reduce the source of it, you have wayyyy less to deal with in every other step and trick you play with. It's why something like a modern vehicle, so VW, Audi etc, there's thousands of tables for the ECU to calculate what it should be doing with the engine.   Why would you NOT reduce emissions the most effective way possible, when it has very minimal tradeoff, AND manufacturers are always struggling to meet the current standards.
