Octane Booster - LCR Stage 1

[tris]

Nope

I was using CVL on the track to keep up with the LCR's on the straights but its just to much money at £10 for enough for 25 litters so am keen to find out more about the link Bill posted

 

[Willie]

so it made a big difference?

 

[tris]

I would not say a big difference but it helps as I have not done any results before and after its only a feel that it was quicker

I put a ltr of aldon stuff into 20ltrs of Optimax for recent RR day......didn't run that well at that mix but went like stink when diluted a bit more the next day so I guess you can use to much?

Or I didn't do enough miles for it to adapt to start with.

 

[Willie]

Butt dyno doesn't lie
I'm going to try Millers CVL Turbo first and see how I get on then take it from there

 

[DannyC87]

what sort of CFs are you getting Willie?

 

[Willie]

Nothing worrying TBH and what I am getting seems to be linked to a fuel fill up so perhaps fuel past its best.
I've see a couple of 6's high up the revs but nothing more. This has onlt appeared after fueling so must be that. Wehn mapped was only seeing 3.5 highest.
Keeping my eye on things though

Moderately high then, I am less than 1 across the board with 6* advance using WMI, but a bad tank of fuel can bring on higher CFs. As you say, keep an eye on things and it may prove to be just crappy fuel.

If your less than 1 your not pushing hard enough with your map
Get those numbers up a bit, lol

If the ecu is going to pull if back anyway there is no point adding more timing in.. a very small pull is optimum IMO.

 

[Willie]

You got to go there to come back

 

[Willie]

2 bottles of CVL Turbo purchased, half used already, other half to be put into car when I top it up.

Smells like power

 

[tris]

Notice any thing yet?

 

[Willie]

yup, got rid of all CF's. Dunno if felt any difference as track driving was under monsoon coditions

 

[tris]

I take it that was at Knock Hill?

 

[Willie]

I take it that was at Knock Hill?

Yup, it has its own weather system, usually consisting of rain, lol

 

[wayne lcr]

so willie do you think its worth using on a road car? i dont do tracks.

 

[Willie]

Wayne, since getting my car mapped my eyes have been opened to what I should have been doing to my car. My mapper has shown me that i should have benn regularly logging my car with VAGcom to check to see all is well. I will now be carrying OB in my car all the time. With Shell reputidly releasing a new firmula of VPower it will be interesting to see how my car/map performs with it. I'll be using OB and logging very often now to ensure all is well, so TBH i'd advise everyone to follow the same path. If you have a car mapped for 99RON fuel and you canonly get plain unleaded then OB is very important.

 

[wayne lcr]

mine ant mapped willie still on stand map and dint no there was some new v power coming out ?

I bet the SEAT curves are tricky in the wet
