[Try_conti]

This is interesting

[Whitepowder]

~$100 for 20 ltrs.

 

~$5/Ltrs. This is very very expensive.

[Gim_ong]

How much One bottle of OB ?

 

i saw from Petrol Station 1 bottle of STP OCtance Booster cost like $13

 

Won;t it be better by just pump V-power.. ?

 

How many litres of V-power I can get for $13.

 

unless there is a Better G-force... or More HP gain when Added to V-power.

 

if not i dun think is worth it.

 

V-power does give the "kick" compare to Ron 98

 

Cheers

 

vpower is still 98ron. same grade as the normal 98. octane booster does not give you power.. it merely slows down fuel burning time.

ya lor.. i tot someone posted homely warehouse selling for $51 for a 16l can? ani difference? anyone used those stuff b4?

[TopSecret]

[Eileen-jj-s]

What is a good brand of OB?

 

Let me ask also if I were to get direct 'race gas' ie 100 octane, where got sell huh? Garage-R?

 

Why not consider water injection?

[Dwoon]

That's a very good price. Can PM me your source.

 

Bestchem charges ~ $100 (including GST) for the 18 ltr drum.

extract:

 

As described by Wusz, there is an optimal window of effectiveness for toluene additives.

Beyond that, the increased fuel density begins to have detrimental affects on proper

fuel carburetion and also retards combustion.

 

Toluene-laden fuels burn slower and make less power on high-revving engines.

So much in fact that much of the air/fuel mixture is still burning as the charge exits through

the exhaust valve.

This is a sure way to destroy your emissions-control equipment and not pass smog.

For these reasons, true race fuels don't just use toluene or other active ingredients to

boost the octane.

Instead they use better-refined hydrocarbon chains that raise octane while retaining

optimal combustion characteristics.

[Koren]

but pushing up the octane naturally slows down the burn time wad.. hmm..

[Chickenbackside]

What is your car's compression ratio and is it turbocharged? u run it at what boost?

if NA then forget about octane booster..the only thing it boost is your ego

Ah Beng's car is not turbocharged lah.

I am a slow driver. 90% of time I drive the car detuned. Only when I am pissed off with my new boss and STI falling everyday, then occasionally I go visit my dear haidees on NSH who set up road blocks n armed with Radars. OB only used in such situations, not always bcos HARNG CHENG PAI
