Same mph as when you were using C16?

Tell me you didn't tune the car for 98 octane pump fuel and then just dump in C16 for the drags last week.........................

car was tuned forc16 fuel last week and run 11.6 major traction issues, this week had couple of litres of c16 left in tank and filled up on premium unleaded, still major traction problems, but i think i can do a little beter with some more practice.

So you left the car tuned for C16 and ran it with a C16/Optimax mix?

At first I thought it's a little weird to get the same mph on C16 tune as you would on a much lower power 98 octane tune... But now I'm just flabbergasted that you'd run the car with Optimax on a C16 tune!!!

Yes cause u can run alot of timiming with c16 compared to 98 RON. It would have been pining its tits off on 98

Wreckedhead for someone that owns a 11 sec GTR u dont seem to actually know that much about the car or mechanics in general

With that mph, you are looking at an easy 11 at least...

As my ET's drop my MPH goes up! Usually it's the other way around. I'd say there's more MPH still in it, as the amount of wheel spin in the first 3 gears (especially 3rd) was enough to slow the car noticeably. This was evident by my earlier passes where similiar 60's and "more" w/spin lost MPH.

INASNT, for someone who asks a lot of mechanically related questions, I think the above statement is more than a little rude. Could be he's just had some bad advice or not made himself clear.

I dont think i ask alot of mechanically related question at all, and i do have a mech engineering degree and have been working as one for last 5 years.

Never the less u dont need to know anything about car to have a fast one, just $$..

hey inasnt, i know you think i might not know much about cars, i hope you didnt come to that conclusion just becasue im running premium with a c16 tune,

i might be a little neive but im not stupid when i had the tune done i made sure it wasnt tuned to its peak just incase of situations like these were i could run optimax or premium unleaded if C16 wasnt available, ( which it wasnt). so conclusion being, i ran 11.5 still with traction problems on prem unleaded, not at its maximum potential. :kick:

      Exhaust silencers/varex exhausts

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      It's the same with many brands that find their way into promotion via Youtube channel sponsorships. Those stainless guys, e-mail cut shippit, various other service and product companies.... they try to make it so that the only name that comes to mind when you think of doing those things is them, and then you just go get their stuff because your favourite channels are using it, so it must be good AND good value. Notwithstanding that the YT'ers don't pay anything for it. But a lot of people are not that sophisticated.

      It's surprising you say this because talking to someone who headed Toyota's CARB certification efforts and was now working for Mercedes doing similar things he said he never had a case where he found that it was necessary to reduce ignition timing for that reason. Knock limits yes, but never because of in-cylinder emissions profile. I'm guessing between EGR and the number of TWCs modern cars stack in series it's not really a problem. I really doubt the NEO is that big a difference. You get what, EV6 injectors, coil on plug, a cold start valve that works off coolant temp instead of basically fixed time constant valve, and... I really can't think of anything else. Not like Toyota where they shipped first gen GDI in the 2JZ-FSE.  Something I didn't realize is that Japan didn't revise their emissions standards for light duty passenger cars between 1978 and 2000. I'm guessing there's a bit of phase-in, but that explains why 2002 killed a bunch of JDM sports cars off all at once. FD3S, A80, S15, Z32, R34, Z15A GTO all died off for that reason. And explains how all these cars got away with no EGR or much of anything other than a TWC and charcoal canister for the longest time.

      100% agree. Best bet on an RB will be NEO, but even it will be a long way off. Emissions is one of the big reasons car manufacturers went to DBW and constantly variable cams. When cruising, open the throttle right up, but reduce dynamic compression so low, that it's basically an unrestricted air pump moving very little air.

      I’m hosting a bunch of execs in the McLaren box on Saturday. If you’re around I’ll come say hi, and see if I can sneak out some freebies.
