Want to run higher boost at avon? Pricy though

Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Id fill a jerry can with the stuff for that purpose only but the stations are all bloody miles away

Where do they think all the sports car drivers live FFS

just use avgas if you can get hold of it. Its leaded and has a minimum octane of 100. The stuff i am using is 105

Caution !!!! Slippery when boosting

ooh, one in portsmouth, still an hour away tho :(

I use Sunoco 110 Octane. Make one hell of a difference.

avgas is higher than 100 i think you are looking at least 110 to 120 depending AV number

always looking for them bigger bunches of bannanas

avgas burns slowly too...

I best get down the AVCAT pump room and start filling jerry cans!

Whats going to break next!?

Turbominis Worst Advice winner 2006, get in

yes it is true that avgas burns slower. It is the same with all higher octane fuels. It also burns alot cleaner and smells so beautiful. if you can get hold of it military avgas has an octane rating of 135

Caution !!!! Slippery when boosting

if my car was rr'ed for regular pump gas, and i stuck some avgas in it would it run ok?

obviously i wouldnt get its full potential but would it do any damage?

It will be fine. Remember avgas is leaded tho. It will make your engine run cleaner, prevent detation, it burns slighty slower but contains more energy. It also makes you exhaust pipe a lovely grey colour and makes fuel leaks easy to spot due to the green dye in it.

In basic terms (which is as much as I know) the higher octane you have the more boost you can run.

So ,if you stick high octane fuel in any car and make no adjustments (and the ECU is limited in what it can adjust) then you'll see little differance. But the beauty of our turbo cars is that we can wind up the boost safely and make full use of the slower burn time.

Cheating buggers the lot of you. LOL!

I remember the days when guys drove to Avon, filled up with regular fuel, even had trolley jacks in the boot, and still took class D.

Team Racing

pretty sure it overheats them and damages them for good.

Could be wrong!

I'm just going to use pump fuel, makes life easier!!

unfortunatly lead does affect your lamba sensor and also O2 sesnors. Otherwise i wold be running it all my cars. Its a bugger but you can't always win

Caution !!!! Slippery when boosting

yep - it 'coats' the sensor. Doesn't kill it immediately; and you could certainly tolerate it on a narrow-band, and just swap it out for a scrappy one...

But you don't want to run it on your expensive WB sensor...

Sounds a stupid question but where can you get avgas fuel from and will most places sell it to you tax free. e.g off road running like for the track and drag strip
