Very interesting read

Confirms what we noted from the Toymods dyno day about Vortex98 vs Ultimate

Confirms what was noted from the CES dyno day about E10 vs true 98 RON fuels

I'll still stick with the Vortex98 though purely from trust, and the additives I know are helping the car (fuel system cleaners etc)

yeh Dylan, would be really interesting to see if my car had picked up any power at all from changing to vortex98 for quite a few months now.. but the car's performance had been steady, unlike in the past when i used Shell optimax and BP Ultimate, performance seemed to be more irregular?

i am did anyone read in the street machine mag about a new top fuel only available in south australia and its called BOOST

i found 1 in sydney i asked them if they were the same people apparently there the first people out side of SA to have this fuel there like 10c cheaper than EVERYWHERE else just like it said in the mag

BUT i didnt find anything good about it over the others well actually my economy is awesome i have done almost as many k's in lesss than 3 1/4 of a tank than i usually get in a whole tank

and also i have a feeling i quite possible have a dud honestly i say this because my car pulls so much less than every other sportivo ive been in stock and non stock

and from day 1 i found my LIFT spike is so much weaker too

but the fuel seems to be doing its job as its got 3.5% oxygen in it too

good read, but im guessing the the stivo is gonna use fuel alot different then a WRX STI??

i think especially with modifications you will be able to tell more of a difference. Like your car Corey, you can get the PowerFC tuned to some 102RON Race fuel :P

I filled half the tank with Boost 98 from United petrol, on the way home, the car didnt feel too flash, it was very humid in Melbourne yesterday could have been part of the contribution. When i got home last nite i reset the ecu, and went for a spin. Drove the car pretty hard, it felt alot better but it was cooler and less humid also. This morning, quite humid again, but the car hammered hard. I think i will use this fuel from now on, it's quite cheap and feels powerful. I will top up the tank and see what fuel efficiency it produces.

takes a few tanks to get the power to come on Lucio...

also a ECU reset is a must..

im actually getting better fuel economy from the ethanol blend :D

Yeah im switched to it. The only issue I have is where they get the premium unleaded before they blend it, and the quality of that fuel. It would be good to see the big oil companies offer this.

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
