If I had a Skyline, I doubt the extent of tuning I would do would require an octane rating of over 105. I'd only tune it to the highest extent to which it can still run on pump gas for convenience.

what is the max hp you should run on pump gas?
 
depends on how the engine is built there is no set hp
the chances are ya may not know intill its too late
 
Tought to answer outright SkylineGTR. Too many veriables. A GTR producing 300 hp can run happily on 96 or even 94, while an EVO producing the came power would require a min of 96, and a S14 Silvia making 300hp 98.
Our pumped gas goes to 98, but it is not as good as the petrol in say Japan where their 96 is better than our 98. So in saying that I would maybe be able to get about 550hp before it is AVgas time.
 
skyline rocks, have u seen Skyline R35 yet, it's really nice, its headlights are different then r34, dont know about taillights or the back.....

:lol:

I have this weird habit of only buying gas from chevron...I don't know why really, I hate those miling cars tehy have on tehir posters but for some reason I think it better than all the other gasolines.....must be all that "techron" crap they put in that keeps the deposits away from my engine......luckily a race track is about 2 miles away from my house so I can get race gas and an airport is't too far either.....buying avgas should't be any worse than buying premium gasoline during those high prices before and during the war with Iraq...BTW did you know that 18 cents per gallon goes to taxes?
 
they stopped selling AV gas in south australia because emission problems
you can still get it if your in a car club though (i think)
 
As far as I know we can get it quite easily, though you are not able to directly despense it into your car. Just need a container to put it in.

we use to have it at the pumps at the servo and put it straight in
untill recently
 
True! The only draw back to running av gas is it contains lead. That will root your oxy sensors quickly and unless you're running an aftermarket ecu your won't idle or cruise right as it takes readings from the sensor for fuel mixtures. You would be runnng very rich but man does it make a difference in performance for sure!
I removed my good oxy sensor and replaced it with a stuff one. Put the car on the dyno and pushed the boost up to 1.3 bar for one run. The car made 297kw at all four wheels or398hp at the wheels.
 
Hey Vince, I just got the latest issue of NZPC in the mail today and you're in it, in the Dyno part with your 254Kw, I think there's a picture of your car in there, the silver one with the number plate blacked out?

[EDIT] Red cross brace?
