Racing Fuel

[kouki_kid]

Alrite guys just wondering if anybody knows someone runing racing
fuel in drifting in Ireland??? I was thinking of using for its obvious
benefits just curious as to what people think.

[serious tom]

well i suppose if your posting about racing fuel, your set on not choosing ethanol?

what extra does it have over e85? just more boom?

Sunco is about £90 stg for 25 litres but you would have to get a remap to get any benafit. Safer sticking to petrol and pro boost or miller.

greddy t67 turbo kit, 720cc injectors, cams, motec m4,hks in tank pump- swirl pot-2xbosch 979 external pumps thats the main things lad cant be fooked writing the rest :cool:

[kouki_kid]

Thts cool looking at the same kinda spec myself will have two inline pumps
filling the swirl pot and a big pump on the other side to the fuel rail
Should be grand for it I reckon. Think its a better way to do it have heard
mixed views about e85 race fyel seems more consistant

[SMD-R33]

havnt used it myself but what put me of was having to buy bigger injectors an changing my fuel lines to teflon as e85 is damn sore on rubber ones.

who told you that???its a myth from the rallying lads who sell race fuel e85 eats natural rubber not synthetic rubber all fuel injection cars are fitted with synthetic lines otherwise my twincams lines would have rotted about 12months ago been running it about 2 years now

That's the good point here as consistency can vary on fuels but "should" be ok on special brew that cost extra. I'd say its money well spent on mega setups.

Never heard anything about being harsh on fuel lines like I said just being
unconsistant I would love to see a back to back dyno print out to see the
defference between both of simular octane rating.
