Fuel....

[Qaz]

Ok, taking my car away this long weekend, and i have never put anything in it beside bp ultimate 98 octane, Will it matter if i put premium unleaded 95 octane in it for one time...???

Or who knows if there are many bp's on the way to jurien bay / cervantes?

cheers in advanced.

If the car is tuned, i wouldnt put anything other than what it is tuned for in it. If its on stock ECU then 95 will be fine, but being hot weather its going to be over the weekend, definitely don't beat up on it no matter what fuel you put in.

This will help you out.

Yeh the ECU is stock, the last bp is half way through brand hwy... so i can top up there which will be helpful :)

Cheers for the kye.

Jurien Bay is only about 270kms, taking it easy there and back highway driving should only use one tank? (540kms). Not sure on the Falcons economy but my VZ will do over 600kms highway driving.

[Butcher]

That cataby BP is shite as is jurein bay by dont count on getting the fuel you want there.

[Butcher]

Advice take a different car and use the Newer Gull servo in jurien

Atm i'm just getting under 400 km/100 for suburban driving... i'm heading up there tomorrow night, so i don't have much of a choice but to drive that.

i remember accidently running my wrx on 95 once, not a fun exercise!

Orly?

[Azrian]

If its stock then you can run on 91 or 95 ron. Probably wont even notice the difference.

[SEXUAL TYRANNOSAURUS]

Sorry, it was 91. It ran like absolute shit, i had to take it to subaru, $600 later and they didn't have the slightest, Dumb pingpingpingpings thought it was my Brandt. The old man asked which fuel i used, i said the usuall (98). I checked the recipt, and i used 91. Simple mistake of not paying attention!

95/96 Premium was fine! Sorry for the confusion, mate

theres always jerry cans if your that worried

Did you mean 400kms/100litres? Thats farked!

I get about 400-450kms out of 60-65litres city driving in peak hour every day...

[Skitzo]

Blaa put either 91 or 95 ron in his standard dak dak on a cruise. Pinged on boost.

[RICEY]

Dont most cars ECUs have a limited learning ability so they can increase/decrease timing etc for max efficiency? If this is the case then if you ran 98 all the time and the ECU adjusted timing to suit, then threw in 91 octane, it will probably ping till it adjusts to the new fuel..

[SEXUAL TYRANNOSAURUS]

I have herd of this aswell. My patrol seems to run E85 ok :)

But with the wrx i was warned upon sale, not to put 91 in. App rule of thumb with all turboed vehicles. Unless its desiel ofcoarse!

[Azrian]

Fuck it run Diesel

[SEXUAL TYRANNOSAURUS]

Fuck it run Diesel

Better KM's :)

if you cant make it to jurien and back on one tank then there is something wrong with the car. did that trip with my cammed 420+rwhp car with 4 of us in the car and the boot full of eskys, food, etc etc.. not a problem.

i filled up at the BP at the end of the fwy off burns beach road and got back to it on one tank...could have got more if we didnt "enjoy" the drive up as much as we did.

can run 91ron fuel if its stock. if you want grab some octane boost pour it when you put 91ron fuel and you should be fine for the trip. its what my tuner told me when i went to coral bay (exhaust, intake, tune an only 6000km old engine) to run some octane boost and he knew me well enough to tell me not to overtake truck in 3rd winding out to limiter :lol: but i managed to get ultimate 98 at canarvon and geraldton so didnt have to use the octane boost

Can i get octane booster from like repco and shit ?


Did you mean 400kms/100litres? Thats farked!


Sorry man i confused the shit outa myself. i mean i get just under 400 kms per tank, and about 15.8L / 100km.

[Azrian]

Wow. Im running 500HP at the treads and get 8-9L/100km cruising and get about 600km a tank.

You need a tune mate

[Rantopotamus]

only low 30s this weekend now! should be fine to tun 95 unless you dont throw your boot into it... but normally I wouldnt use anything else... get a jerry can or some octane booster

[RELEASE]

Can i get octane booster from like repco and shit ? yep sure can

[PAGZ]

how the fuck do u guys get so many km's out of your cars... my shitbox skyline struggles to get over 350 with a full tank

Yeah I get the same in peak hour driving every day, prob a little over 400kms though. You will find if you havent done highway driving in this car before it will use heaps less fuel on cruise.

[Andy!]

Should be able to get it from some servos to.

[Jiri Styles]

dont use octance booster full stop lol

[savage1987]

XR6T will run 100% fine on 91RON even, if you don't smash it around on full boost everywhere


edit: F6 Typhoon, stock tune, same same. Used to run these things on 91RON at the caryard I worked for alllllll the time, these motors are smart enough to pull timing if they ping too badly anyway.

Not like my primitive VN, tuned for 95 and will shit its pants if run on 91... :(

[LooneyToons]

saw a guy filling up hes kawasaki ninja with diesel at gull morley drive yesterday.. i told him before he started it.. maybe he saved it.. sorry 4 drifting off.

[Tre-Cool]

how the fuck do u guys get so many km's out of your cars... my shitbox skyline struggles to get over 350 with a full tank

big cubes = less requirement to sink the boot to feel torque rush.

Yeh but that just country driving? or suburban .....

[Azrian]

Up the freeway. I average 12.5L/100 on the antilag cruises and get around 550km from the tank. Remember the tanks in the utes are larger. About 75L or so.

Just last weekend i drove to collie on a full tank, spent 2 days destroying 8 tyres, put 20L in and drove home with about 100km left on the clock. The weekend was full on pedal to the metal as well.

Crusing ill get around that but whats your like around town, stop, starting etc??
Im lucky to get 16L/100km. Heavy foot 17.5-18...

I think i was parked next to you at gazzanats..... it was F6rspec, [ MDP333 ] ???

And yeh, i will be getting a tune and all that shit within the next few months anyway.

[Steppo_GT]

I made it to Geraldton on 3/4 tank in my GT. The F6 should definetly make it there and back unless there is something wrong with it.

Its amazing how little they use on the open road. I was averaging 11.4l/100k's and get high 18's driving in the city.

turbo nissans run dirty rich. Tune will get more power and fuel economy.
The big v8's and fords all run 6 spd's with big overdrives.
Std diff geared commodore is barely idling at 100km/hr in 6th, and their economy improves with a tune too.

and to the OP, use normal premium or 91 ron and take it easy on the throttle (especially if hot). Stock ECU will take timing out to stop it from pinging if it needs to.

[3xpl01t]

like everyone has said. what ever its tuned to. i put other fuel in my car by accident and dam it ran like crap :(

So im just posting here so as not to add another thread and this heading was on topic,

How soon do you need one? We are in the midst of having 5 made up for a couple of cars.

[Ash]

Well i was hoping to have it sorted so i could bring it to Collie and thats April 2nd but its not essential at this stage

[180SXTCY]

I reckon Josh at metal craft could knock one of them up pretty quickly.

OK cool at this stage racegtst has PM'd me and is going to get some made and unless someone has one sitting on a shelf ill get one of his.

[shifted]

I'm still upset United stopped selling P100.

Hoping they bring it back.

Would be around $50-$70 if you supplied the cap and wouldn't come with them horrible welds Josh - 0408 008 537
