I have recently discovered that this is available at a local mobile. Would it be worth the extra cash to use this ? Also, while running the 93 tune from bren, would I fill it up 3/4 of the way with 93 then add the 110 or dont bother ?

thanks

 

From my understanding, if you're running a 93 octane tune, running a higher octane will do nothing extra for the performance of your vehicle. It's just like our cars out of the factory. We can put 93 octane in them but it wont do anything special for us. The only thing that will affect your vehicle is a negative way would be to run a 93 octane tune and run a lower octane than 93. Other than that running 110 octane on a 93 octane tune shouldn't hurt anything more than you're wallet. I may not be 100% correct but I think I got the right idea.

 

Pretty sure you would just need to get a tune made for 110 octane if our stock blocks can even handle it. I wouldn't go about mixing octanes together and stuff, that's likely to make a nasty boom.

Edit: Hey yc420 we might have to start a "Steeda Chrome Ultralight Crew", lol.

 

not worth it unless you advance your timing some to gain a bit of power.

they only time you may (on a n/a car not really worth it) would be if your going to the track and its hot out. the added octane will reduce the possibility of detonation.

 

I asked this same question when i first started and everyone said it doesnt do anything. But i tried it anyway b/c i dont listen very well . The effects are nothing other then the smell of the higher octane. No extra giddy-up lol. Hope this helps

 

mixing the different levels of octane fuel together wont harm your engine. All the higher octane will do is allow the piston to get a little closer to tdc before the fuel starts to spontaneously combust due to compression.

 

+1 to the above. No benefit unless you're tuned for it but it wouldn't hurt anything, at least in the near term. Long term use while not being tuned for it could possibly cause some problems.

 

+1 its like putting moth ***** in your tank(old old school trick) ,eventually burn and crack your intake valves and that is not cheap in a new 3 valve engine. If you had 12 to 1 compression or higher you could run that stuff . Todays engineers have over come the higher octane fuels and have given us more efficient engines.

 

I'm pretty sure 110 octane means its leaded, not good for your cats (if you have them). Like everyone else said, you need to be tuned to see an advantage, and I'm sure that it isn't enough to offset the price difference from 93 with your set up (unless you aren't telling us about your blower/turbo).

Putting in race gas can also affect how lean your car is running. Race gas usually tends to have less energy per volume than your typical gas, meaning you will usually need more fuel for the same amount of oxygen (to keep the a/f the same).

 

How much are they charging for the 110?
