Best Fuel For Turbo?

[rakuen]

Anyone know wat the best petrol to use for turbo in terms of performance, consumption n wat's good for the engine?

Would like the know the pros n cons of using high octane petrol (v-power/synergy) vs premium unleaded.

I read somewhere that Japanese engines are tuned to run on 100 Octane petrol.

Any tips n thoughts about Octane boosters (Afterburn, etc.) and Add in lubes (TufOil) will also be appreciated..

Cheers...

Rakuen

Any fuel will do lah.. personally i think Petronas gives the best mileage, but Projet's fuels somehow 'feel' better. that's just my personal opinion, of course. :lol:

 

[apislinkin]

yeah personally i agreed with iskymeow.... petronas give more mileage for me... before this i use mobil n after i use petronas i see the petrol give more mileage than mobil.... :)

Projet Enertec 97

Petronas and Caltex is also alright but Shell non-VPower is bad for mine. can cause it to run lean. *shrug* low-octane content maybe ah?

sei itchymeow... come n kacau my thread...

 

[rollakid]

what's the octane for v-power? higher than 97? sorry cuz no v-power here... so dunno

 

[polyxtroy]

I think its 98 ron. Correct??

 

[kinki_kidz®]

IIRC its still 97 :/

do correct me if im wrong

 

[antonio]

not shell or petronas...

any other would suffice...

Did some fuel tests on my car earlier.

On V power which I always thought to be the best, it knocks like hell.. anytime any day. Can never give it full throttle on the highway when speeding.

Switch to Petronas, its a lot better but on certain petrol stations, dunno if its the fuel quality or mixed of some sort, it knocks but generally its ok. Power is pretty good.

Lately I have tried BP 97 and turn out to have the best anti knock properties, tried 4 different petrol stations and each has repeated results. Engine doesn't knock at all but one drawback, the fuel makes the car slightly lazy in response but this is good for turbo cars. Least its safe.

Tried Caltex and Esso, knocks as well. Still a bit better than the V power.

On why my car knocks easily, fuel pump is undersized and cannot supply enough fuel for a safe air/fuel ratio. So its hypersensitive. :(

I think all also the same wan lar... but i personally prefer shell pr projet. But I alwiz put petronas these days... coz' stupid shell wanna sign card damn mah fan!! Only petronas and projet can sign at the pump straight away. There's no nearby projet at my place, unless pay toll... so i just pump petronas oni lar.

me most of the time use shell n mobil/esso,very seldom use petronas la,cuz the petronas near my place,the fuel like 'diluted' one le...not as powerful as others,but i think it's only tht one particular outlet la,other petronas kiosk seems ok lo...
but i think all also about the same gua.....

yeah man... damn mah fan rite? Have to go INSIDE da store to sign wan... freakin' mahfan! And if wanna pump full tank, walk into the shop say "PENUH!" walk back to car... pump, walk back into the shop again to sign card. And if u bad luck, ur credit card company server break down or something "sorry sir, your card rejected lah"... then u had better pray u have extra cash in your wallet, or another credit card. Or else... wonder what will happen ah? Ask them to suck back out the petrol ar??
