Octane Boosters


Recommended Posts


OK, my car hates the octane booster, well at least the way I ran it in it didn't anyway. Tip for next time... reset ECU after adding the booster ;)

It was running funny and pretty lean and this arvo when I started it after uni, it was surging for 30 seconds or so before it would run smoothly. It got down to 1/3 of a tank left of the boosted fuel so I topped up at the nearest Caltex (~2km) then drove home (~2km) and performed an ECU reset... It now runs as sweetly as ever :D

Makes me think though... If I had performed the ECU reset after adding the booster how much would I have pulled on the Dyno then? :P

maybe more... possible or the car has just rejected the booster...

still i'd give it another go next time but run it in first... give it a tank and a bit to try it with an ecu reset then top it up on the day and reset and see how u go. worth a try i guess
