I read most of that thread, and I believe that for our engines to benefit from adding Toluene etc, you would need to remap the ECU - right? Our oz spec ECU's are programmed for 95 RON fuel, so I am probably pi$$ing money up against the wall using Optimax at 98RON, so Toluene additives would be a complete waste of money.

 

Our car is tuned for 98RON fuel in AU.

Wont the computer re-tune for, say, 101 ron?

FROZZLE

 

I know our car will retune for alot of different factors but i dont know about this for different octane levels, why would they recommend particular fuels then?

 

From my limited understanding I think we would need to get our ECM remapped to take advantage of the extra RON's.

You would be just urinating money against the bricks if you didnt.

Doesnt make you wonder what other ***** is in fuel, I happen to sell Xylene based products and they would take your skin off, yet we happily put it in our fuel tanks.

PS you could also just go and by Elf racing fuel, 104 I believe.

Then there's Avgas, Fark what about Nitro Methane!!!

You'll need a new ECM though and perhaps some pistons?
