It's been like 2 - 3 weeks now with no Ultimate. I've had to use some Synergy 98 & Optimax.

I want Ultimate again! Anybody who always uses ultimate but is having to use another fuel feeling the difference? speak up.

I think Optimax has been slower, 3rd gear 12psi just isn't pulling as quick I think.

I have been using vortex98 for the last few tanks and fuel economy is exactly the same.

The car does pull harder in 2nd and 3rd!!

I was suprised but my car runs better on vortex98 than ultimate or optimax.

I'm of the understanding that most of the east coast has got an Ultimate shortage, with stocks to be restored at the end of December or early January.

I've been giving Synergy 8000 a go, I'm on my 3rd or 4th tank, I've noticed that power seems to be ever so slightly up, though my fuel economy has dropped slightly.

yep, there's been none in my town for at least 3 weeks (2 BP's, both out).

is really beggining to sh*t me cos i gotta drive 15 mins down the road to get optimax, or remember to fill up when im passing a shell/mobil out of town.

tried vortex and wasn't real keen, my knock levels went higher than i've ever seen them (although was a warmish day and car is tuned for ultimate).

Well ive been running on synergy 8000 and recently swapped to optimax extreme.. and as far as im concerned it kills bp ultimate. I've got noticable power differences, specially after re-setting the ecu.

Though will good to be back to ultimate again, no ethanol or anything to worry about:)

i think the "Ultimate" part in BP ultimate's name has a lot of people fooled lol

I think you'll find most workshops agree you can tune the hardest on Ultimate for any pump 98 fuel in Aust.

#1 Ultimate

#2 Synergy 8000

#3 Optimax

Some people say Synergy is a tad better than Ultimate but usually Ultimate is the prefered fuel for tuners trying to get the most outa it. I got the most power & lowest knock out of my car tuned on Ultimate.

how do you go about resetting the ECU?

Disconnect the battery, press the brake pedal to drain all the remaining power. Maybe leave it for a while then just hook the battery back up.

And I've been using Optimax since they went out of Ultimate and to be honest there is no difference at all imo. :(

i ran my car on ultimate all the time and i found it pulled harder, had better economy and ran better, less lumpy in the idle. Using vortex and sh*t like that made my car crap, noticed it clutch kicking at pt.g last week.

GO BP ULTIMATE!!!!!!!! please come back to me

Sounds like you guys over east are just getting what we went through over here about a month ago. The refinery had a problem so they couldn't produce anything but normal unleaded, so most stations were without 98 for a few weeks. Over east was still ok because they stockpile it I guess. Now that it's normal over here, that was probably the priority so all the fuel has probably came to us. :)

It won't be too long I imagine. Unless there are BP refinery's over east, I would think there would be which would mean I'm babbling shit.

You lot are complaining but over here Ultimate is the only 98 fuel we can get so it hurt us a LOT more!!!

Ultimate is more expensive than extreme 100 here in QLD... On any given day BP is at least 2 cents dearer than shell at aspley and virgina....

So i stopped going to get fuel from BP along time ago...

I had the fc tuned on optimax and found extreme to knock a bit more but the extra 50km;s per tank has not rally made me a fan... ill stick to 98 plus i get 4c off a litre at shell also...

So thats a saving of about 3 bucks a tank... I also get a 600ml coke when i fill so thats a free coke in my books....

50-60 litres of fuel for the car and 600ml of coke for me....

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
