I hope this is in the right place.

I am just trying to work something out at the mo. If it cost you 40 pounds to fill up with a tank of otimax how much octane booster do you need. E.g. fill up jap import scooby, cost £40 plus x amount of octane booster, how much is the octane booster to buy and how much goes in + how long does it last?

I know there are a heap of questions there and it must make sense to someone on here

Thank you

1 ml per litre of NF works out about £3 per tank and with Optimax is about right for imports IMHO.

Mycroft would say get toluene, but he won't tell you where to get it

Thumbs up

I have been using STP octane booster but am not convinced anymore. I am pretty sure that it does not raise the RON value high enough for my import. As soon as ive finished off my STP supplies, i will move on to NF Octane booster.

To cut a long story short, my knocklink lights up on optimax + STP OB when the ECU is reset until it manages to retard the ignition enough. I'm loosing out!

Gonna try NF, reset the ECU and watch the knocklink closely.
