Race Fuel

[jeffro ra28]

nitro, $12-15 a litre. Its a nice fuel to use!

Seriously tho, im sure the cheapest option is to mix your own.
ELF seems to be the ducks nuts. It is a tricky thing tuning ELF on crabies properly tho. Soon as you drive down the road you have to retune your carby. If the weather changes during the day, you have to retune your carby.

I use 100LL (low lead av-gas) It’s about 108 octane and enough to allow a little more timing and still be safe without breaking the bank.

As for the comments about making more power.... “Race fuel” won’t make more power, in fact if your car isn’t tuned for it you will probably make less as they are "lazy fuels" You will use more "race fuel” per litre than regular fuel to make the same power. The timing you can dial in and the state of tune you can achieve on a higher octane fuel is where the power lies. That and as stated above, gee it smells good burning............

sunoco supreme nos, 121 octane and $150 for 20 litres.

VP 110 was $110 for 20L. fuck that smelt nice and hurt the eyes too.

VP MS103 is about the same too i think.

ELF is also noticeably lighter than standard fuel. Every little bit helps

Any one know the specific gravity, i cant remmeber. Avgas is .71 specific gravity.

High Octane fuel will only help you make more power if you mtoro is tuned for it, if motor is tuned for pump gas and you put in race fuel will make no more power.

Sorry for stating the obvious but found the comment "I never siad anything about making more power did I" a little odd when asking about "race fuel", why else would you want it???

maybe i should fill a few ppl in on what i do i run standard 98 ron fuel on the street low boost at 15psi at 200kws at the wheels and i run martini 110ron race fuel on hi boost in my car 25psi at approx 250kws at the wheels. So as you can see the car is tuned for race fuel up hi and when i put standard 98 ron fuel in it i run it on low boost.

[flynsx]

So I can only assume that you want to run it for less power then? or just to say that you spent spent $6 a litre on petrol cause you are so cashed up?

"the most notoriously overfuelled seca in Australia"

and here iam repeating myself again on the hole notorious thing

the hole notorious thing about flynsx is actually me taken the piss out of myself. Notorious for all the wrong reasons eg breaking down all the time and all the fuck ups i had with it from paint to interrior to everything i had done on the car. Maybe finally it can be notorious for the right reasons

I guessed that, but you had me confussed with not after more power
Now that makes total sense
Elf is very good and nitro is aswell. Ive never given the vp 120? octane plane racing fuel a crack but it would be worth looking at, Thats if they have any in the country.

Yea i got a few mates that run it in there 350 chev motor and they love it expencive as though but for something like that i can understand but im not to sure if it would make much difference in some other engines i had a mate that tried some in his dunnidore and i drove it both times but didnt notice any major difference bar the cost

[BeRad]

haha bullshit the dunnydore would have been flying on that shit....... hahahah

aint called race fuel for no reason.

[Petes77celica]

Yea it did run better but not for the price of the stuff

[flynsx]

at the end of the day its all about money and who has the most to spend. Anyways back on topic so no one can recomend anything better and cheaper then what iam using at the moment?

[BeRad]

negative. 10char

[flynsx]

oh just quickly i gained extra 10kws at the wheels without changing the tune using martini and extra 30kws at the wheels with it and also uping the boost, its also cheap insurance on your motor as well it has never pinged b4 using this fuel.
