nope, never heard of boost 98? who sells it? we dont get vpower100 up here either...

I REALLY wanna mix up some of my own race fuel... im thinking somthing along the lines of

50% preferably BP100, else BP98.

47% toluene or xylene.

3% nitromethane.

that should give me about 110ron with a slight dose of oxygen that's lead free, CAT and 02 sensor safe and cost about half as much as proper race fuel off the shelf. id love to know what they put in these andra approved race fuels but im fairly certain that its very close to what ive mentioned above...

Boost 98 is a united fuels brand here in VIC. 98 ron with 10% cane sugar.

Zoom did a fuel comparison a while back, and Boost 98 picked up nearly 15rwkws on Sloptimax and Mobile Synergy 8000.

I've always run Boost98 from United but all fell to bits last weekend, loaded up a full tank and added a bottle of Nulon Pro strentgh for a mountain cruise, been runnin the same genriric tune for last couple of years no problems but added the octane booster for the run incase of detonatin etc cause I aint got a custom tune.

Farkin sh*t seams to have killed something, maybe a plug unless it's coincidental and a coil has died, dam thing just sputters after 5psi boost normally went to 12psi, no fun running up a mountain with others behind with an engine that wont gooooo.

Still held pace with 3x WRX just, and a few behind but had to pull off didnt like pushing it with it spluttering.

Waiting to book her into Elite but weird it was running full boost to the servo and after putting in the Nulon a tiny bit of splutter but as soon as I hit the mountain farked, thought it'd come good but nope days later as soon as she hits 4-5 psi put put put no power.

xf falcon, how did you go at the dyno day? did they check your AFR's during the runs? you going to post your dyno sheet up?! cheers

nathan

It went very well, I got second in my category (forced induction). They didnt have the AFR sniffer connected to their dyno computer and I told them to run it anyway (I've been driving it for a few weeks with the tune already and it seems fine for now). No detonation on the streets or the dyno. Phoning Simon this week for a custom tune.

Heres the dyno sheet.
