I use 98RON and WMI, no problem but never been pulled up for an inspection either.  I have been pulled over a few times, but generally only RBT or a look at the car and tyres etc....never had to lift the bonnet.  But I don't do epic skidz, no sh1tz and giggles.

Had my WMI for maybe 10 years, I'd need to look up my receipts.

Mind if I ask what your setup is like? RB26? How often do you topup your tank? Failsafe's?

Gtst so a 25, get over 500km to a tank of 98.  Get over 1,000km to 2.5 litres of water meth.  Its set so that it only injects when you are boosting.  So cruising at 100km/h you aren't really using any.  I have no failsafes, don't really need them.  My motor will show high knock levels if the WMI setup stops working.  But I've not had that happen, plus I set my hand controller up to read knock levels with peak hold and I watch it  just like a speedo or any other gauge...so I'd know if it stopped working.  But again, its only injecting when I'm boosting.

From memory I've set mine up to start at 60% IDC and all in by 80% AND 8psi and all in by 14psi.  But I'd have to check those figures if you really wanted them. 

If I had a Haltech or Link I could maybe set up failsafes, but I have always had a PFC and never really seen the need to change it.

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      By bcozican · Posted

      it takes so long to get things done but ... they are nearly there and we hitting the track soon again  So - at Perth Festival of Speed the car unfortunately had a decent off, wasnt me driving, wasnt the person drivings fault. Long story short car got sent very fast towards the wall without the control on throttle from the driver input and a disaster was averted but there was damage that needed to be fixed - carbon busted and alot of bent bits The splitter got munched and had to go back to get fixed - took a bit to get it there, fixed and back but got a surprise package when a new double element higher DF splitter came back - nice surprise !  and first person to have one     At a car show I took the car too some punks stole one of my carbon indicator blanks and stomped on the other so had to get a new set of headlight / indicator combo from tops stage so got front fender vents as well to put in the order     While all this was happening the new MCA golds turned up and did some fiddling around with those   Put in the flappy paddle system and clutch lockout wiring/ system   We have also put shorter gearing in top top it out at 300 kmph in 6th gear  where previously I held 5th to 282 at SMP and 277 in Perth   Looking for better control and faster acceleration     I wasnt intending on doing pedal box I was managing with the brake master replacement system I had going on and adjusted std pedals but on applying the clutch switch to the old system we found the *insert technical word here * bar that goes from the pedal to the master was bent about 40 deg and about to snap = lucky find otherwise be a bad bad time - discussion was had about getting a custom bar built to withstand the load but in reality it was time      making any suspension, wheel or anything adjustments to date has been a nightmare - aero off, adjust, check and repeat - time consuming and hard - short of going full airjack system we fashioned some external manual car lifts this will make life a million times easier     All the bent framing, some intercooler pipes and other has been fixed and replaced and after 6 months I finally have the car back at home in my control so its get to work on it, set ride heights, wheel align and will start track testing again soon   So ultimately other than a few flashy bits nothing actually looks likes its been done but in reality alot has. Typical   We'll see how all this goes
