Av Gas!

vegabass · 23-03-2006, 11:13 PM

Seeing as I’m running 39 deg of advanced timing I was wondering if I could run a mix of av gas and ultimate 98?

I know av gas is against the law to use, I was planning to use it on the track.
I also know cat converters get clogged as well from using it, that why I was wondering if I could use a ratio like 50l of bp and 10l of av gas?

Any views?

Any one think I'm nuts?

If it gives you more of an edge over the 8's at Morgan Park :jab: but doesn't hurt your engine :gren: go for it

: . I would really have to trust someone that said it would be OK to do that.

Absolutely Steve, I keep thinking of a saying.....Done in moderation wont hurt.

Im just keeping the man inside of the engine with the hammer away (Pinging)

All good mate give it a go i have never heard of anyone useing it or used it myself so i am not at any point to give advice. But hey if you have access to it why not hey!!

Lets just say it will work. Even a 50/50 mix will be fine, and not kill you cats.

av gas is 101 octane low lead

Fairlane · 24-03-2006, 10:39 AM

Av gas has lead in it, so say good by to your CAT and say hello to the EPA

Fairlane,

Im doing some research as we type, Im talking with a lovely lady from Shell.

vegabass · 24-03-2006, 11:27 AM

Ok Av Gas = Bad idea.

Unless your engine was built for a specific fuel, its not a good idea to use magic mixes. the cons far out weigh the pros.

*goes back to the drawing board*

niko · 24-03-2006, 11:33 AM

*cough* lpg :P lol

vegabass · 24-03-2006, 12:24 PM

Appreciate the view but you will find that when Drew sees my remark he will have a chuckle because this is a friendly stir of a mate in a long running joke. It is not my intention to start any form of "this is better than that" war. Just as we took his reference to certain 8 drivers getting in practice prior to Morgan Park in good humour.

By the way Drew, go the S/C, it is the only way you will keep up :hihi:

Gunns · 24-03-2006, 01:11 PM

No insult intended. Just some lite humor.

vegabass · 24-03-2006, 01:32 PM

I spoke to Bryant Engineering today and im not getting any change of of 8k inc a new charger.

cheap wine 5L's thats so gold but whats useless and come in 5.4l?

ill put my thinking hat on!

No insult taken, just thought I would try and prevent the detioration of a thread, early.

Drew, you did not think 5.4L was useless the last time you drove one of the examples of said capacity. Own up to your 8 cylinder envy, it is ok and no one will think any less of you. $8000 is expensive but the power is worth it, question is, can you handle it?

no probably not.

300 rwkws turning the bags at 100kms ....can anyone handle that?

Lynton, your right Im never disapointed with the 5.4....I do have V8 envy but its a challenge to make a 4L faster and quicker! muhwawawwaaaa

if you want to go fast get a bike....the challenge is to get 4 wheels going quicker and faster than 2!

Fairlane · 24-03-2006, 03:53 PM

what about optimax Extreme 100 mixed with some Nulon booster, should give you a pretty good brew

geckoGT · 24-03-2006, 04:06 PM

$100+ a tank, ouch!

Av-Gas has been 98 octane for the last four or five years, that all my XC Clevo would run on (13.5:1 comp) and then once they took the lead out in 1999 i had to find some other way around it. I now use BP Ultimate with nulon octane booster, and haven't looked back, may be you should give that a try. Bj

gozza · 24-03-2006, 05:00 PM

well when i did my pilots license thats whats we used in cessna 152's

av-gas 101LL... its a fluro blue colour..and it evaporates almost straight away

delta · 24-03-2006, 05:50 PM

If you have programmable engine management and larger injectors you could just mix petrol with ethanol, its high octane, brings oxygen with it and cleans your motor for you at the same time, just don't run more than say 25-30% or it'll start attracting water like nothing else.

outback_ute · 24-03-2006, 06:05 PM

Hi octane unleaded racing fuel? Bit expensive though

Dodge · 24-03-2006, 06:34 PM

av gas NO methonal YES
