what type of fuel
what type of fuel shall i put in my hatchback wrx and is there much difference
|
i personally use a 20% methanol mix + v-power , awesome stuff but you would need a remap, otherwise id just use v-power
|
97 ron is the recommended fuel by Subaru mate. Vpower,momentum if you live on the mainland or BP ultimate if you live in Northern Ireland
|
cheers guys thanks for the reply

Works out at 68p a ltr v 1.42 for v-power so not only does it add power but it saves cash ! Another site is jennychem but i found those a bit more expensive |

as a side note, i seem to get an extra 10 miles per tank roughly using meth, but that maybe a side effect of the remap, either way 280bhp to 360 isnt to be sniffed at :thumb:

Is it safe to use "octane booster" additives, such as STP booster etc from Halfords.. or is it something worth avoiding? I know the higher the octane the safer your engine runs and more economically, and eco friendly too.
I'd always use Shell V Power or Tesco 99 (now called momentum) but following recent events I might be sticking to V Power as I think I got a bad batch of fuel from Tesco 99. BP Ultimate is lower 97 ron and quite pricey so I tend to avoid this unless I have to. Does NI not have any Shell or Tesco 99 garages? |
its safe to use octane booster, alot use the mix i use then add in the NF , if you do that do not mix meth and nf in same container before putting it in car, it turns to a superglue like substance, put 1 in tank, then other always with fuel, as always a remap is the safe option
