Shell claim that Optimax has an octane rating (RON) greater than 98.
I would imagine that most of the link ecu's in this country, like mine have been mapped for SUL (97 RON). So has anyone with a link ecu tried Optimax ? and what are their experiences. Mike |
Yes http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif
Can be mapped specifically to take advantage of it as long as thats all you use (or carry booster around with you) |
My Link was mapped for Optimax, and it seems to be doing the business on the roads and on the rollers!!! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Mike,
Would love 2 have a go @ it but was told by customer services @ Shell "optimax wont b available up here till 1/4 one of 2002" http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif Pete |
Doesn't a Link ECU 'learn' to adjust to different fuels, as the standard ECU does?
Richard. |
Nope.
The link uses a static map, it can be run in closed loop, using the lambda input for fuelling...but that won't adapt the ignition curve like the JECS does. http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif /J |
And it's the ignition that's increased/decreased depending on the quality of the gas.
Better quality gas is harder to ignite -> more advance is possible, before knock occurs (self detonation from high temp/preassure). /J |
Bob,
How much of a difference would you feel behind the wheel with a car specifically mapped for Optimax (98.6 RON) versus 97 or 95 RON - Does the additional performance outweigh the extra hassle of finding the right petrol station and paying a bit more per litre? |
