Running 110 Leaded race fuel daily

[comatoast]

Ok heres a few of the vids

Simple 0-80 run

The 1st part of this one is a 3/4 (ish) throttle steep hill climb Riding in 3rd gear with boost
, the second 1/2 is a 60-100 run @ WOT

And this is the run that worried me , and I got off it right away .. WOT @ 70 mph

In the last vid, you were cruising @ 70 then went WOT? The comp retarded timing to allow the TC to unlock. 100% normal, and good.

Ugh As soon as I see that gauge jump I freak out... Im wondering why it did it at WOT @ 70, like in the last vid, But barely moved in the 60-100 run in the 2nd part of the 2nd vid

That is the problem with too much info. Sometimes info is bad if you aren't schooled enough to intrepret what it means. KR isn't always bad, it's designed to protect parts. KR when going WOT from cruise is allowing the trans to unlock the TCC and downshift if needed, then allow full timing.

Exactly the reason I would like to get it tuned. When I actually do see Randy for a tune, Im sure alot will make sense to me. My problem is Im alwasys over cautious.. Hence me always asking alot of questions

[yourgrandma]

Okay, so youre running an intense level 1 kit, right? Based on what Ive been learning, Im surprised you dont have higher KR numbers, especially on a 3.4". I imagine headers will help a great deal, as will tuning for your particular combo. Im sure some of the more knowledgeable guys could use your O2 sensor readings from these runs to help determine if the issue is fueling related.

Remember, too high of an octane is bad as well.

How ?

Sometimes you can have less than complete combustion resulting in deposits.

[Shannoww]

When a fuel starts to burn, any fuel goes all the way.

Octane is just the resistance to the fuel burning in the absence of a flame front (i.e.hot spot or end gas auto-ignition). Flame speeds, and completeness of combustion don't change.

Ok I'm now on my second tank of 93 after running the 110. And I don't know if it's just me but I feel a pretty noticeable difference. When I was running 70/30 it seemed snappier, quicker , ran smoother, down and upshifted smoother and pulled harder with less boost. The boost numbers didn't change but under a 3-2 or 4-3 downshift with 6 psi , it is quite noticeable how much smoother and harder it pulled


Is this weird or is this normal? Only issue I had when running it is I got a p1133 code which is the front o2 that popped up 3 times in the 270 miles I put on.

[00Beast]

First off, Octane is a fuel's resistance to burn period.


Secondly, did you do anything else at the same time as the 110 that would be giving you a placebo effect from the 110?

[comatoast]

Basically are you asking about the placebo effect, your asking me if if it's just in my head because I had an expectation ?

If so. Well I did expect a difference. But no I don't think it was in my head. The numbers on the aeroforce showed it as well. I dunno what it was but it seemed to run better smoother, with near zero kr or movement of the gauge at all. Other than the dtc

[00Beast]

I kinda modified Placebo. Was there anything else you did at the same time as putting in 110? Run Seafoam through the gas, put in a new O2, etc?

Nope.. I knew I was gonna get a new o2 when I got headers, so I didnt care abut burning this one out.. My cat is gone, and I didnt use any other additive.. just about 12-13 gallons of 93 topped off with 110

[00Beast]

Wait. When did you ditch your cat?

[comatoast]

Wait. When did you ditch your cat?

the day after I got the car.. it had a leak in it and it was annoying

[Shannoww]

First off, Octane is a fuel's resistance to burn period.

No, specifically it's a fuel's resistance to self igniting under temperature and pressure.

When there's a flame, it burns at the same rate regardless.

[comatoast]

So how can I get this , and how much is it

[00Beast]

I don't know, but we still haven't solved your issue. You need to solve KR first, then we can mod.

[01bonneSC]

Something else to look at....

It will get pricey if you go this route. Theres got to be another issue if you are still having severe KR problems.
