[veilsideboyz]

[allance]

i thought V Power is Ron 97 but with different additives? don't think its Ron 100.

 

[maxximuz]

halo bro, in Bolehland, max we have is RON97 only la, V-Power is RON97 with different additive

 

[allance]

hey bro u say V power racing is RON 97+additive? i check on shell webside they say v-power is RON 98 old/ v-power racing is RON 100 new

 

[xtremeleo]

no, the last time i read it was ron97+additives to lubricate the cylinder wall

 

[angrysnail]

Later Ron 95 or 97 driver will pay the same..no subsidies for 1.6 and above somemore..AEM methanol like "must have" kit that can be fit in..hehe..

:top: +1 to the post above, at times like this a water/methanol injection kit is a very useful and effective kit for every car.

if really want race dun pump v power,please pump vp racing q16 octane 116~fuh~ kao kao

 

[Syahz]

Ethanol cheap than Q16.Q16 is RM4+++ for 200L.E85 now only RM2500 for 200L.Better and no poison,cool,clean and good for envoirement.Crissyong know how to tune..he expert now hehehe.But 95 not bad when i tune before.carefull when you add the timing.

Very good post. I'm thinking of subsequently getting a meth/water injection kit installed as well, so your post is very useful.

Though to be honest, I'm not really thinking of this because of issues with 95 vs. 97. If it comes to the point of owning a souped up car, and wanting the best for it, it would have to be fuel of the highest octane anyway (97). So really thinking about the AEM more from the perspective of performance and tuning flexibility.

I don't want to sound like a broken record, but having a meth kit in a turbo car does wonders!

Question :-

Where did you buy the meth/water mixture ? Is it available countrywide ? Is this meth of a particular specs or is it readily available that consumers can get it off chemical suppliers to mix themselves ?

You said you tuned your car for a more aggressive timing. Presumably, you still left some leeway with the tuning maps (on the side of caution) in case you run out of the meth mixture. Can you elaborate on anything we should know in case the stuff runs out while you are driving ? Afterall, these things sometimes happen even to the most attentive of us.

Methanol is easily available, hardware shops for example sells them. My mixture is premixed by by tuner and I just buy straight from them to avoid all the hassle of doing it myself.

The AEM kit has a safety feature whereby it allows an output to your piggyback/boost controller to cut down on timing or reduce boost once the low level sensor detects the reservoir tank is running low, or the pump is not running etc.

There is a LED that you could wire it to your dashboard (or any location that is easily visible to you) to inform you the operation of the kit, such as injection in progress, low level detected, malfunction etc.

Though we did not max out the timings, we advanced around 6 degrees on top of the previous tune (which was around 4 degree advancement if not mistaken) and there still wasn't any knock yet. I drove it around a couple of months and once we're sure there isn't any knocking I went back for more

alo boss, how much did u get ur kit?

 

[changchewsoon]

For the AEM kit, you need to budget around RM2K-2.2K depending on the work required on your car, but most of the time its damn minimal. Mine took less than 1 day to install + dyno tune.

I bought mine from GT Auto, the reason why I went with AEM is mainly because of 2 things, 1 is the low level sensor comes standard and the other reason is the variable recirculation pump.

Anyone interested to check out the kit, please drop by GT Auto this Saturday as I'll be there. Can always PM me as well if need my contact.

Thanks!

chang, the kit + installation around 2.2k at GT?
what is the advantage of it...how about refill...mind to share dyno result after installing it?

i saw your car in GT a while ago when u hv idling problem...but it is solved the next day if i not mistaken...by the way your engine layout very neat n most attractive is the shining pipings

 

[DanzEterna]

ive been using ron95 since it was lauched, the hydraulic tappets sounds much louder,
slight power decrease.
shell - ok, but tappet sound still there
petronas - no, tappet sound bloody loud, no power.
BHP - havent tried
caltex - yes, recomended, tappet sound decreases
mobil/esso - havent tried.

rm10 - ron95 - 50km
rm10 - ron97 - 45km.

oiks bro spuzzle, you where there ah that time? how come never say hi! ya was having idling problems when we lowered the engine compression, but that solved already with creative tuning haha!

the pipings now no more shining already, cos aluminium and never take care cos need to often polish hehe!

ok, for all the questions you asked, you can refer to this
