V Power 100ron

[martinws]

I've been using some octane booster 6 points and its a made a marked difference in the running of the engine.

What did you notice different?
A mate of mine got a load of this stuff at really cheap price from his work and we put it in my mates VR6 corrado and it mad the thing pop and bang alot more than normal and he reconed it felt a bit quicker.


Is water/Meth a pretty easy DIY install once you buy the kit? i guess you can run it off boost, IAT or whatever you want really?

using high octane fuel wont do anything unless the engine has been mapped to it. its higher anti det characteristics allows more ignition = more power. an engine being mapped to 98ron and using 110ron wont really produce any more hp at all, it can even be worse and run really weak depending on fuel type. if using E85 in uk cars you will be lucky to get them to run unless its a newish saab in which have duel maps. using the tesco and shell vpower will still benifit more from 98ron as less det prone especially boosted motors

Yes if the ECU has a fixed ignition map on older ecus, some more advance ecus can self adapt however to their trim / knock limits

I'm sure you can ask a tuner to explain in more depth.

Engine felt smoother and power felt improved. Not had it measured but there was a difference you could feel it.

hmmm, not even a data sheet or any references to anything, just high level waffle on the page....it cleans more and that will give you more power

IIRC V-power is already called Nitro+ in the US so in the abscence of any technical data my guess is they are just homogenising their branding

Sounds like something from Power Rangers

asked the guy at my local shell today he didnt know the ron numbers etc but he said it would be the same price as Vpower
