BP 98 does smell nicer with the exhaust

as well as giving a noticable touch more kick in my car

than the Optimax which seems better suited to low revving V8's than high revving turbo six since the BP98 has a lower specific gravity. Perhaps a finer mist, for a quicker burn, with a slightly higher octane preventing premature ignition and knock.

My test drives done with the standard s2 computer.

- I'm picking up a Microtech LTX12 auto computer tomorrow or on the weekend, will be tuned to BP98.

i have got 480km out of a full tank, but i filled up as soon as the fuel light came on at 480. it seems to sit on E for ages then finally the fuel light comes on. on this tank, it's been all city driving, and fairly hard driving some of it, including 6 runs at the motorplex (drags).. and ive so far got 450 km out of this tank, and the fuel light hasn't come on yet, but it's sitting on E :D only engine mod i have is catback exhaust

Well I get anywhere between 525 and 575 depending on the number of Comondoors that I have to put in their places!!!

That is an average of 10L/100kms

Best 8.6L/100kms (Recent trip to Batemans Bay)

Worst 26L/100kms - Team Track Day!

I use Optimax.

Hope this helps.

The BEST I ever got was 450.. that was driving at ~ 120km per hour for the whole tank (from brisbane to melbourne)...

the WORST I ever got was 140km... that was some very hard driving :O

After changing my fuel filter, I am now getting about 400 a tank, which is fanging it for the 1st half, then realising i have no money, so taking it easy on the 2nd half..

Btw, my car runs 8psi to 4500rpm and 10psi over that.. has pod, ecu and zorst (173rwkw). It also has a higher ratio diff, which I would think would be the main factor in my shit fuel economy (100km/h in 5th is 3100rpm.. compared to std of 2700 rpm)

edit: thats using BP Ultimate (always) and I usually fill about 55-60l.

i get approx 100km per quarter or per bar... though it seems the first bar lasts longer usually 150 and second, third goes quicker only 50kms and the fourth last long too but usually averages 400kms. just running shell optimax. it was a killer when petrol prices was high...

also i guess it depends on wat mods u got on ur car... high boost low boost... how big ur zorst is, how ur ecu is tuned etc etc...

according to my trip computer thingy mine is burning about 14.8L/100km ... thats been measured over the last 750km or there abouts. I commute from home to the city each day basically.

My car's baiscally stock.. mabye i should get it tuned or something...

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
