[BLUEGTR]

Nar i live in sandy bay car is making 350kw at the wheels at 1.3 bar for the street but can wind it up to 1.7bar so it can make a bit more. yeah fuel does cost me quite a bit.

You gotta love that Tassie factor!!

bahh!!!!!!!!!! 350 at rears on 1.3 bar!!!!!!!!!!!

u would hate to get a bad batch of that 98 RON stuff.. goodbye engine!!!

anyone know where to get tolulene in decent quantity's and wether u need a licence to store it???

i know its not good to run in your car all the time, but good to have if u are going to the track or the strip.

Would you mind me asking what you do as a profession? cos for a young bloke, u seem to have had some pretty serious cars already.

Im a electrcian

**** I'd better put my power saw down and pick up the multimeter...

Tim, Toluene is available at moto sport in newstead. They make it up to your specs and the price isnt too bad either. Love the stuff. 5 Litres every third or fourth tank does wonders

[mr_r32gtst]

Thanks for info Paul!! thats great! Any idea of the increase in RON etc?

[phat_r33]

The gain in octane is up to you. If you tell them you want it to go from 95 to 98 then they'll make a suitable solution up for you. Just be careful with the stuff though, only use it in a well ventilated area as it causes cancer, it melts everything, so try not to spill any (I did once and half my shoe was left melted to the ground.) and never go over 1 litre per every 10 of fuel, put to much in and it will do more harm than good. But do it properly and you'll love it.

so what street are they located in paul? never heard of them

[Wogboy]

Whats Toluene do? I though it was just a crappy by-product of crude oil. Found this info below on toluene.

Too much toluene may breach Australian standards

(Archived)

HOME > NEWSROOM > NEWS RELEASE > 2000-03-01

Excessive amounts of toluene could mean that the octane performance of fuel used in cars may not comply with Australian standards in this area, according to Standards Australia.

Standards Australia was commenting on allegations regarding a “petrol substitution racket” in Sydney, in which petrol is allegedly being diluted with toluene to increase profit margins.

Octane performance is covered by an Australian standard, which requires that various grades of petrol meet specified octane ratings. The Australian Standard- AS 1876 of 1990 “ Petrol (Gasoline) for Motor Vehicles”- also sets out requirements relating to contaminants such as lead and sulphur content.

The octane rating controls the “anti-knock” performance of car engines. If the octane rating is too low, the engine will “knock” and this will affect both its performance and increase the prospect of engine damage.

The “knock” is the “pinging” sound which older cars would make when petrol with too low an octane rating was used.

The voluntary standard was developed by interested industry, consumer and government organisations such as the Australian Automobile Association, the Australian Institute of Petroleum, the Federal Department of Transport and the then State Pollution Control Commission.

Compliance with the standard would generally be the responsibility of the organisation who supplies the fuel to the service station. However, service station proprietors also have a prime role in ensuring proper storage and freedom from contamination.

I use to run toulene in my gtir and it worked well. I use to get it from bp at selfs point in 20L drums

[PHaT MR30]

yeh i think if you mix it accordingly its fine, if u over use it it thins the fuel or something???

[phat_r33]

The thing to remember with it is that you can mix up solutions of toluene to have your desired effect. It could be weak as heel or extremely potent. just depends how its mixed up for you in the first place.

Moto sport is on killa faddy (spelling?) road next to store it safe and that.

I use to get pure toulene so i use to run 4L of toulene to 20L of fuel. Never had a problem.

[mr_r32gtst]

Apparently using it on a regular basis it can damage fuel lines etc. Like Paul said every 4-5 tankfull and she should be sweet!.

Has anybody recorded any power gains from using it?

[phat_r33]

Dont really notice power difference but makes the engine run alot smoother

[PHaT MR30]

burns cleaner, in most cases you got to re tune ur ECU to get any major power gains, (IE dial in some timing)
