Last week I had my GTR tuned on Boost98 for a dyno figure of 351rwkw.I used Boost98 after reading the article in HPI by Martin Donnon.

The car ran great with knock readings in the mid 30's,till the weather got hot,where I recorded low 70's.Nigel(Ice Performance) suggested we retard the timing 2 degrees and see what happens.Single digit knock,so we tried 1 degee retarted,where we got mid teens and left it there.The car is going back in for cam timing adjustments,so I just adjusted the timing in the settings screen,I had to do it every time I restarted the car.

Today,I was near a Shell servo that stocks Extreme100,so I thought I would fill up(47 litres) and test it out.I am now running 3 degrees advanced over the original setting on Boost98,thats 4 degrees more timing!!!!! and recording mid teens on the knock sensor.

I will be using this fuel on my next tune in the New year,highly recommended.

Between now and my next tune,I will try Ultimate to see how it compares.

There are 2 Ethanol fuels.E10 has 10% and is sold by United as Boost98 and E5 has 5% and is sold by Shell as Extreme100.

Dyno figures are bound to go up dramatically as we had 365rwkw and had to knock out some timing using the obviously inferior Boost98.The 100 octane Extreme looks very very promising,allowing 4 degrees of extra timing while keepoing the knock lower,should also allow a little more boost.

Cnr Warrigal Rd and Centre Dandenong Rd Cheltenham,near DFO.

There are 5 shell servos on Burwood Hwy and 1 in St Albans as well.

thanks for that.

burwood hwy is a bit out of the way for me, so i'll have to try my luck in st albans.

Generally you loose power with ethanol blended fuels, so you have to advance the timing to get some of the power back. The good thing is, with careful tuning you can get good gains over the regular 98 RON stuff.

New 100octane shell fuel with 5% ethonal is what you want. you will not lose any power , you will gain timing,response and power.

I did some research ito fuel octane and detonation and have to wonder why the ethanol was added . I sort of though that the alcohol helped to make any condensation soluble but I'm beginning to wonder if slower burning high octane fuels need a bit of help at the cold start phase . The mighty 3 cyl G11 ran like a hairy goat at the first cold start on the Shell 100 but runs fine on it now . If anything it make a little better part throttle torque and the choke (showing its age here) is never needed .

It will be interesting to see if the other flavours of 100 octane fuels will have ethanol in them .

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Yea that's a fair assumption. I'm presuming they call them solid lifters as they have no moving parts like hydro lifters.

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      I believe you're confusing WMI with water injection. Looking at that graph, the 93aki+WMI car is making more power than C16 race gas. Boost juice, which is what I also run, is Snow Performances 50/50 premix.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      GCG is a good company, they're a major distributor for Garrett in Japan as well.

      Nah, OEM washer bottle and brake fluid reservoirs are fine I don't know what it is with the plastic that Mazda used, some plastics, like the washer bottle and brake fluid res are fine, and still look new after 20 years use, where as the coolant expansion tank, and PS reservoir, that I replaced with new OEM items when I first got the car, turned yellow and started getting brittle a few years later If the dirty yellow stained plastics didn't trigger me there wouldn't be an issue, but they did, much like the battery bracket....... Meh As for going back to work full time to support car stuff, nope, why, because I own a Mazda NC MX5, not a Nissan R series Skyline 🤣

      I've never heard of CJ-motor, so can't advise you on them. I'd just go straight to GCG for a GCG highflow though. Seems no point to use a middleman. I'm somewhat surprised that the price on the CJ site is lower than the GCG retail price. Even though CJ would get a discount of some sort, you would hardly expect them to give up so much margin. Maybe the price is out of date? Having said that "I'd go to GCG"...when I did my highflow, I went to Hypergear. I did this https://hypergearturbos.com/product/rb25dethighflow/#tab-dyno-results with the R34 OP6 450HP profile. With the BB centre (extra $400) and intially with the standard boost actuator, but I eventually got him to send me the high pressure one when I got to the point of being able to actually use it. Ends up costing the same sort of money as the GCG highflow, but this is, of course, the turbo that I KNOW has a shorter length core and so moves the comp cover rearwards. The GCG apparently doesn't do that. My mechanic also swears by the GCG highflow, given that we have another turbo rebuilder who does something essentialy the same as theirs, using Garrett wheels. He says it stands up at really low revs and makes good power. I haven't pushed my HG highflow past ~240-250rwkW yet (should have a little more in it, but unclear how much) and it does have a fairly gentle boost ramp. OK, it's much better now that I have gotten my boost controller tuned up on it.  A lot of my earlier unhappiness was because I couldn't keep the wastegate flap as closed as it needed to be (including some mechanical issues). I'd still prefer it to boost up nearly as quickly as the stocker, and it certainly a bit slower than that. So maybe the GCG one is worth the first look (for you).
