United 100 Octane

[fly333]

Hi my mate is wondering if his stock r33 can run 100 octane that has ethanol in it?

He is taking it to dyno tomorrow and would like to know if he should fill up on 100 octane from united?

Btw just wondering would it corrode his fuel pump and lines?

should be fine...

[fly333]

thanks will be filling up tomorrow, cheers

Bear in mind, you'd be better off getting it tuned on 98, otherwise it'll always need to run that specific fuel.

I've noticed at time United to run out of their 100. I use it, but i adjust the tune at the same time when i do

Fair enough well ill get it tuned to 100, will it be ok if i am using standard ecu?

nice oxymoron there, you cant tune standard R33 ecu unfortunately.

i have been using 100 octane for about 7 years, daily driver, but i have PFC thats tuned to 100 by the master tuner, i love the stuff.

First it was your mate, and now it's you?

As stated - cannot be done on a standard ECU. It's a waste of time.

i like united100...

but then again, even their 98 has 10% etOH

I love it, very good mileage off it and great power. Idles very well and runs smoothly. Used to only use BP premium but started running the 100. Get a nistune and you'll be loving it.

How do you get better mileage with 10% ethanol? You need to use more fuel of it to get the benefits from it.

Simlar to E85, but on a lesser scale of course

if you just have a standard ecu and no safc/sitc/emanage then I hope someone isn't charging you for a "tune"

[blind_elk]

Sorry for hijacking - what about using United Plus (regular E10) - its only 95 octane, but it's 4c/L cheaper than regular 91 octane. I'v got a Wolf, so I could retune if necessary. Since I generally don't nail the car, could I safely cruise around on E10.

I never said I get better mileage, in fact I never compared it to anything. I said I get good mileage off it.

[xALmoN]

actually i see no big difference in mileage when i use united 100 vs bp ultimate, or shell vpower or the caltex 98, so i just use whatever.

Kinda my point.

Without a reference point - there is no definition of "good"

Good is nothing but an opinion or point view. Sorry I offended you, how about we start another thread to discuss the appropriate semantics?

United 100 goes great with my Golf GTDI.

Lol, good one ash, you scared him off!

I thought the same thing. You said very good mileage, and then I was like good in comparison to what? e85? lol.

I think he meant compared to this
