Who uses race gas on their daily? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

speedgod^s13 · 02-11-2011, 01:06 PM

After my motor is done being built, i've decided since it's going to get tuned on race gas, and i'm gonna drive it daily, i'll just keep pumping race gas. I was just wondering, if anyone else only uses race gas on their daily cars, and how do you feel about doing so?

shiftdrift · 02-11-2011, 01:08 PM

e85, cheaper....just as good.

turbo2nr · 02-11-2011, 01:21 PM

wow you must have lots of monies to use race gas on a daily driven car..

if you want you can give me some monies too

nathanong87 · 02-11-2011, 01:31 PM

My car only runs on Shell V-Power 93

nujabe · 02-11-2011, 02:21 PM

I don't have a lot of money. I work 2 jobs, just to build my car. You gotta pay to play, everyone building a car should know that.

I'd rather use the real deal.

shiftdrift · 02-11-2011, 02:35 PM

it's retarded and not going to happen. just run 2 maps. one for pump gas and one for race gas....when you're feeling tough, get some race gas. be realistic and smart.

mkezzo16 · 02-11-2011, 02:39 PM

^^^^ what he said..get Enthalpy dual tune..and flip the switch when ur ready for race gas son

This

Also, if e85 isn't available in your area, then meth injection is another option.

This ^. I don't mean to be a dick, but this does sound very unrealistic.

jacobs13 · 02-11-2011, 07:00 PM

Yeah, how much is race gas near you? Last time I bought some about 5 years ago it was $8 a gallon, im too scared to look now

xpertsnowcarver · 02-11-2011, 07:02 PM

I used to run 100 octane.... $8+/Gallon SUCKS....

You just can't daily a car on race gas simply because it costs too much. You'll get frustrated at some point realizing you've spent $500+ more dollars on gas than you would have using 91.

I lucky have E85 in my area, so I went that route.

Two maps is my recommendation if you want to enjoy a potent fuel every once in a while.

Does it vomit any other type of gas?

Very few people run simply race gas. If they do it's because they have multiple cars to rely on. I agree with the rest and running a dual map setup.

jacobs13 · 02-11-2011, 07:17 PM

I heard octane booster is bad because it burns super hot, my uncle melted a piston on his harley using it. Have you guys had any problems?

Nick_04K · 02-11-2011, 08:12 PM

^ Search it a little. I've seen quite a few places that claim it does nothing at all.

And a video on youtube i think??...That has the guys from top gear do some "serious research" on it and i believe that they lost 2-4 hp from it in their tests.

1337 · 02-11-2011, 09:37 PM

for the price you are paying to run on race gas along with the mpg your, 'race engine' will get isn't worth it. buy a car to daily drive. much smarter idea.

Q.Smooth127 · 02-11-2011, 11:53 PM

dont do it my hawaii bradah.
save the money haha.
all that money you can just go and buy your self a daily beater.

It literally does not run properly without 93 octane Shell V-power, especially with those hydrocarbons and shit. It's just the only thing that works.

Most Harleys are air cooled and melt all by themselves if you let them idle long enough.

dreadedfist · 02-12-2011, 01:17 AM

I run 356 octane all the time. Sets me back about $156.00 a litre (Canadian, don't know what that works out to in galons, sorry). Typically costs me about 10 grand to fill the tank from empty, I usually have to fill up three times a week. *

* Just use two maps, one for pump, one for race gas.

02-12-2011, 09:06 AM

one word

toluene

SuperiorS14 · 02-12-2011, 09:18 AM

dont do it. itll end up burning a hole in your pocket. either get a ems that can run dual maps(like stated above) or just run pump gas. and if you go to the track run 100oct and youll be fine.

sr2os13abel · 02-12-2011, 10:06 AM

I DONT KNOW WHAT KIND OF HORSEPOWER UR TRYIN TO GET BUT HERE IS SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT..

IN MY RACE CAR I USE C16 ITS 13.25 A GALLON AND I TELL U I DONT WANNA DRIVE THIS MOTHER EVERYDAY. NOT ONLY CAUSE ITS EXPENSIVE BUT ITS JUST ANNOYING TO BE FIGHTING WITH THE CLUTCH AND THE SMELL OF RACE GAS.. ITS JUST A COP MAGNET !!!

C16 $13.25
VP110 $9.25

U CAN ALSO DO 2 MAPS FOR PUMP GAS.. I USED TO DAILY THE SAME BUILT MOTOR ON 91 MAKING 411WHP. ON A GT30R.. AEM EMS IS SOME GOOD SHIT.

THIS IS MY NEW SETUP AM THINKING ABOUT DOING A PUMP GAS MAP JUST TO TAKE IT TO THE CAR MEETS. LOL

How is that unreallistic?

Pretty much all aftermarket ECU/Standalone/Flashes/piggy back allow you to run 2 maps and switch on demand.

h2v7 · 02-12-2011, 01:20 PM

fuck it be a G and race gas only

the hoes will fucking love it.

He agreed with the above statement. Daily running on nothing but race gas is unrealistic.
