Hey Ross, thanks for the kind words!

Again today i gave my car a thrash and added more of the octane booster and still not changes. My knocks remained constant at 15-23ish which is probably road noise.

Like i said before i will wait for a hot day to see if there is any changes but that might not be for a little while.

Hope this info saves you from the 20dollar curiosity but ill let you know if anything changes on a hot day.

yer well i guess the best solution would be to drive more for us lol cant think of anything else which is practical

Today i added the rest of the bottle of octane booster to the tank containing only about 10litres of fuel.

Highest knock reading was 28 at 7800rpm so still very safe but up a couple of points. The road was as smooth as possible to reduce road noise registering a reading.

Boost spiked to 1.2bar as it was a hard launch in 1st/2nd. Daaaamn my car is fast: 0-100 in under 5seconds easy!

I will buy the product again when summer comes and then do some more.

Well i have had a look on a few on a few major websites like Shell and BP etc..

Most of them claim that there fuel will not lose any octane if its stored for a 3-6 months in the right conditions!

So im thinking it would be alright to boost with fuel that is only a month old..

Well it should be according to what they are saying lol

    • The car revs up through the gears much better/faster now, and fuel consumption doesn't really seem to have be affected either on a Hwy cruise, which wasn't expected  The FAB9 intake manifold has been problematic sourcing though, I've contacted Plasmaman to ask about their intake, which you can get different runner lengths spec'd, and, their different options for throttle bodies  The only real physical drawback with the Plasmaman intake is how to connect it to my current OEM style airbox, as FAB9 make a OEM style back half of the airbox to suit the larger diameter throttle body, and all that is required is a 30°bend silicone pipe to mate the throttle body to the airbox Car also goes in for some exhaust work in a week or so to fit the biggest resonator they can fit clearance wise in the front pipe to help remove some of the drone, there isn't alot of realestate under there, a rough guesstimation is it will only be about 3-400mm long and maybe 90-100mm diameter, and with a 60mm exhaust that doesn't leave alot of space for the internal volume of the resonator to do its thing I'm thinking I may need to bin the "high flow" 100 cell cat for something a bit more substantial, yeah, and restrictive, like a 200-400 cell, to help, but, I have ample room for a really large bodied cat to replace the current one which has around a 4" diameter body I may look around in the recycling bins and see if I can find a massive newish cat that was "replaced" with some new full exhaust system that the local exhaust shop in Western Sydney is doing
    • Hahah look at that smile 😂 Just like those ones on IG where they compare the husband in family photos vs husband going fishing lol. I don't think I'll participate this time, clutch isn't in and also the last time I went there were too many numpties on the cruise sessions. Nearly caused a few accidents holding up people and a few guys initiating massive kerb to kerb drifts with heaps of cars right behind them. Not to mention, there were guys on the track session using it as a power cruise session.
    • Is there an actual website thingie for peoples who don't have Facebooks? Cheers
    • All Jap Day is coming up again! 13th of July this year. Are you going? Tickets go on sale on Wednesday 6pm. Please let Quang know as well. https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1163155775853542   I still get shit from my wife for this photo because it is the happiest she has ever seen me. And it's not with her, it's in someone else's car.   Quang's EVO is sick, but that rotary wagon flying past was absolutely bonkers.
