twisty b-road Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 If you've still got the cat converter in place, make sure it's lead free octane booster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1 Lupo Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 John, you called! style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" /> Its good, but dont use it too often or too much. Blast the Aldon Automotive stuff, as thats not got any lead in it. Always makes me smile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DubDub Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 do you put it in before you fill up or after?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1 Lupo Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 before, ideally at the petrol station. But you do get some funny looks!This way its not in the tank in a rediculously high concentration before filling up. Plus it mixes with the fuel well during filling the tank.

Tigz™ Posted September 10, 2004 Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Is it really worth spending the money on Dan?Would it be worth me adding it for the 1 litre? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M1 Lupo Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 To be honest, it does make a difference. But I'm not sure how much on a smaller engine. At the next meet I promise to come along and you can try some for free Andi. See how it goes. (plus you could always have a listen to the sub..)

DanGTI Posted September 12, 2004 Report Share Posted September 12, 2004 ive used it along with optimax and it definately makes a difference in my 1.4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jabo Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 He he, I was using a special mixure which not only increased octanes massively but also boosted combustion pressure (sealed piston rings better), then I keep it at max revs for 5 secs too long and melted crankshaft and piston rod - all of which in 125cc `2-stroke` kart engine style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arvid Posted October 11, 2004 Report Share Posted October 11, 2004 Octane booster is a good way to keep things a little safer. I used it when i went to meetings, because you tend to push the car a little harder and a higher octane protects better against detonation. Started with Bardahl but now i use NOS or NX.
