Question

Anyone ever heard of this ??, I get it out of the USA as I can't get millers, NF etc here....I use it on my JDM STi7. I use 98 RON gas + teh booster.

The booster claims to increase 'octane **points**' up to 7 points.

My question is what do you think 7 **points** = as far as RON is concerned....maybe 1 point or possibly 2 points ??? want to know if I am running my car on 99 or 100 RON total with the ocatne booster.

Cheers,
Ray

Acording to the manufacturers it adds 'real' points to your US gas, ie Super 104 would take 94RON to 99-101RON.
Hope that helps..I have no opinion on whether it actually does what they claim though - particularly worrying is the claim 1 dose lasts 2 tanks??

Treatment levels of Super 104+ OCTANE BOOST
One bottle of Super 104+ OCTANE BOOST treats up to 22 gallons of gasoline. The use of this product will increase octane effect 4 to 7 points, help stop engine knock and hesitation, and restore lost horsepower. Super 104+ OCTANE BOOST can be used with every fill-up.


^^^^The above is a quote from their web site. It says "increase octane ***effect*** 4 - 7 points" ........I assume that this is not actual RON increase of 4 - 7 points ??

Cheers,
Ray

RON effect, actual RON, whats the difference? As long as you ain't getting det then 99/100RON doesn't matter.
They claim you will effectively have a 5/7 RON increase using their product. You could get this checked at a lab using specialised equipment if you really want to.
I run an octane booster. I have det that lights up my knocklink when running SUL alone. When running SUL + booster I don't. Good enough for me

Thanks Chuckster,

Maybe I should get a knock link just to make sure and calm my nerves

Would be nice if it really did boost my RON 5 - 7 points, means I could be running 103 - 105 RON doubtful though....

Cheers,
Ray
