what are you using to tune?
open source? (romraider ftw)
and yes the nissan gtr. booooring ..and ugly |
nah...ran 94 for the longest time...i got piss poor gas mileage and the difference in power was marginable at best
to be honest - i use 91 shell v-power and i get waaaay better gas mileage and the power output is the same - just have to be a bit more careful not to advance timing too much at peak tq so i dont detonate due to the lower threshold properties with 91oct
open source/romraider to tune and ecuflash to upload it to the ecu...total cost? $0 and fun tuning myself!! aem wideband to keep a close eye on my AFRs - currently leaned out to 11.2:0 at wide open throttle, full boost (~18psi) at 3200rpm so she boogies! |

Man, I used to LOVE going to the track several years ago. Hit Cayuga, Shannonville, and Mosport regularly for sure. I even had my own track bike:
|
I did the FAST school at Shannonville. What a blast that was!!!
I also crashed my bike the first time I was on a track at Mosport. Turn two is bad ass...
Lol at the crash happening on a parade lap!!!!
I can't wait to buy my next bike. I have total authorization from the wife. But I'm leaning away from a full sport bike though...
Maybe a Monster?? |

I used to run Sunoco 94 for the longest time...
Then one day I tried Petro Can's 91 and the consumption difference was 60-80 km's more per tank!!!
I never went back to 94... |

ya i like v power for the extra clicks per tank(no ethanol).
but boosted id want that extra wiggle room in octane ;)
good stuff with rom raider etc. Reflashed my bros car(04 sti) with it and my g/fs car(05 sti). My bro added more mods and decided to pay for a tune..even though we have the tactrix and the open source stuff. lol ah well.
you on toronto subaru club?
funny you got more mileage on 91 petro , vdub... its got ethanol in it so that doesnt make much sense...maybe you switched after winter? |

Yeah, I did the Fast school too (1 & 2). I've gone down on the track, but never at Mosport. It such a fast track that when you go down, you get HURT! That was always the crappy part of track days there, you would head out and after a couple of laps someone would crash and you would get stuck out in the heat while they cleaned up the mess.
I've seriously considered getting another bike as well, but I think I'll stay away from the sports bikes this time. With a family now, I don't need the risk OR the tickets! I've been considering building a chopper or something like that, maybe a fun winter project... |

Not sure when it was but it was years ago...
I don't get it either but that's just what my car liked...
What sucks is having to feed the Touareg the 91. 100L tank plus brutal V8 thirst...
I didn't know that ethanol burned more fuel... |

lol v8 toureg. wtf you need that turd for?
to burn a bigger hole in your wallet? ;)
lol yes ethanol has less energy...thus you require more of it.
thats why on e85 you get horrid mileage...but its got a higher resistance to detonation so you can make a lot more tq/hp(run more timing)
our gas only has up to 10% ethanol...but it definitely nets you about 50 km less per tank.
thats why I like the shell v power(91). no ethanol. I think its the only gas left here we can get with no ethanol. |

Buddy my Treg is a thing of beauty...
It looks incredible, is luxurious, and drives like a champ...
You put that bitch in sport and it will smoke most cars on the road..
Plus, it goes through anything..... um... including gas...It's only downfall...
I am going to try a tank of V Power next fill up and see what kind of mileage I can get... |
