Octane boosters

[Anonymous]

Are they worth the money? Anyone swear by them and why?

[Anonymous]

Nah, get a proper mod like a cam!!!!

I think you should find out what CP has b4 you tell him to get a cam! lmao. Octane boosters are supposed to help resist detonation so that timing and mixture can be adjusted further to get peak performance. I think from what I`ve heard they work, but its an expensive pain in the arse to keep adding it to your fuel. You can buy 100 Octane fuel and higher which is a better solution, but thats pretty expensive too.

I have used some of this, and well.. its hard to say, i could swear it starts from cold better, and is smoother with more torque, but u cant really tell

so am i supposed to ADVANCE the timeing when i use this stuff with std 95 octane unleaded?

It's Ok if your in too drag racing with big compression ratios etc but it's not really practical on the road.

Higher Octane does NOT give much more power, it is an aid to allow you to tune your car further without fear of detonation. It is a waste on an ordinary car, and to use it properly you would need to have your car set up for it and use the fuel all of the time. The only real benefit is for imported Jap cars as they are meant to run on a higher octane than is available in the U.K.

That's what I had heard b4 but I recently read a bit in a mag which suggested bunging it in any old car and hey presto off u go with extra power.
Ian,
Sorry for not posting a pic and tech spec on the site but I aint got a digi camera and I'm waitin (forever) on a m8 to lend me his. He had my last lot of pics nicked when his Griffith was broken into:(

Goin back to octane boosters, my m8 found a load of info through a search engine about tolumine (I think thats how you spell it). This is the stuff that the octane booster is made from. Aparently they used to run F1 cars on it and it can be bout for less than the the price of fuel from the pump. It should add a good few horses onto power figures aswell.

Hopefully I should be trying some soon.

[Anonymous]

sorry,

TOLUENE
(octane rating of 114!)

[Anonymous]

F1 cars now run on highly filterd super unleaded. nowt much added unless your are a cheating scoundrel

older v8 & v6 engines run better on octane booster, but i doubt that affects anyone here!!!
