Ugh so I take it I'll be buying lots of O2 sensors?? lol

 

if your smart with a leaded fuel, and use it ONLY when you realllyyyyyy need it. its fine.

a sensor can be "used" back to life, you just have to burn off the lead on its ceramic element.

however, on your car babe, i dont see much of a reason to use a leaded fuel as unleaded goes to 104/106 octane. 100 octane, like you were saying was close to you, being 9 points up on the **** you normally have, would be a HUGE change. if it wasent ~$8/gal id say run it ALLLLLL the time. it'll NEVER hurt anything.

on an LSJ, at 18psi, on 104 octant, i was peaked out as far as smart tuning (LMT/MBT just like we talked about)

your car and its higher boost level, yet more effective engine, should be on par with that.

 

What if I do 50/50? Or like Solstice boy did like 25/75? That is something I could afford to do all the timel ol.

 

if you could keep an consistent 50/50 mix, id be more then happy to re-vamp the tune for it. the car would grow some *****!

 

I think I could afford that, and the station is close enough so that it wouldn't be inconvenient.

 

LNFs no likely E85 without a higher flow fuel pump. It cannot handle the extra 30% volume. However the Redbull LNF Solstice runs 13.75:1 CR pistons on E-85.

 

I'd never do E-85, not only for that reason but like the nearest pump is over 2 hours away lol.

 

yea i keep forgetting about the direct injection system the SS/TC are running. shitty.

oh well.

C16 ftw rissa HA!

if you run C16 then you could say you have 2 white tail pipes...

 

Lol what do you mean by that hmmm??

 

east coast = 93.

 

I'd goto meth injection over e85 or trying to mix up some ~96 octane. Not only is meth/water cheap, but it also lowers your cyl temps because of the water.

 

Not doing meth, don't think my dealer would be too pleased with that, they already know about all of the other work done to the car and I don't want to make it harder for them lol. And west coast = no winter wheels or tires, I can always make my own higher octane gas lol.

 

hey now, i like my steelies. i give my summers a nice well needed rest. saves me moneyz.

 

Yeah I can't be bothered switching them, buying new tires and getting those put on once-twice a year is annoying enough. I'm at 1/4 of a tank now, gonna let it run to empty and then fill it with 100 and get a new tune, that with the new sensors it should feel like a whole new car.

 

didn't bryan say he was going to give you a new tune. something about making your car think you were getting 100, but you weren't. i think that was you and him, right?

and taking off 20(x2) lug nuts is much easier then mounting and balancing 4 new tires.

 

I dunno, I don't think my car would like to be tricked like that lol. I was going to get a new tune anyway with this new gas and now it'll really be on 100 for a while, and then it'll slowly go down in octane, and once it hits an equivelant to 93 I'll fill it back up again. Thankfully I don't drive it much!

 

how much is 100 out there? and is it at every gas station?
like we have 100, 92, and some others, but only at select places.

 

100 is only at very select places. Some stations carry it or 110 (rarely) in their kerosene tanks in the summer.

Marisa, what are you doing about your clutch?

 

Luckily there's a station with unleaded 100 really close to me, it's like $8 a gallon, but I only fill up twice a month, and would only have to fill it up completely with 100 like maybe once every 3 months. I'll have the only SS out here running "93" octane hahaha.


I'll get a new clutch eventually. Once the brakes are done and whatnot I'll start putting money aside for one. I'm not dipping in my vacation money for one ahhaha.

 

that seriously sucks. how are you pulling that one off, running on 93?
and im confused and curious to learn about it, you'd only put in 100 once in a while, you drive that little, or 100 gives you awesome gas milage?

 

Well I'll fill it up with 100, then when it gets down to half, fill it up with 91, and when it gets down to half again, fill the rest up with 91, so it continues to dillute it. Once it reaches a certain point, I'll fill it back up with 100 and start the process over again. My car will like this much much much better.

 

iiii gotcha. sounds annoying though. =/

 

why don't you do every other fill up with 100? fill with 91, drive to 1/2, fill with 100, drive to half, fill with 91, drive to half, fill with 100 etc etc. or you could start with 100, 1/2 91, 100, 1/2 91 blah blah.

 

Or that, it doesn't really matter to me lol. The beauty of it is, if it gets annoying I could just switch back to the 91 tune and stop it, but I don't see that happening lol. When we tried the car with his 93 tune for the first time(even tho it knocked like hell) it felt soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo awesome.

 

and if the system faults, the engine goes.

i hope no one runs that stuff, i could only imagine how much kerosene is in the "race gas"...

ewwwwwwwww

your welcome hun! :P
