Asad Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Just wondering what you all run on?? i go any where thats cheap tbh but recently saw a pic in a car mag what the unleaded does to the internals of a car....makes em go black n gooey etc. im considring switching over to super/v-max etc would it make a diff after 12yrs of the cars engine life? ive added 2 full bottles of redex since ive had it (noticeably better when idling) should i switch? im planning on keeping the car all the way through uni (5yrs ish) so there will be lots of motorway driving i usually sit at 70mph slightly more if i get the urge...... what you guys think? also put a new lambda in.

Newbe Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Ive always run mine on v power ect.. the car just seems happier drinking it and im sure its slightley better for your car anyhooMatt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Starletraje Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 in my opinion after a 12 year life and X thousand miles its still running strong. and i would guarantee that its never even sniffed at super.but on the other side its like an extra 2.50 a tank for super, which is considerably low if it supplies you with peace of mindout of curiosity, the car in the mag what was it? scooby? Evo?i dumped a tank of super in my sportif when i got it and it made no noticable difference to the feel of the car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SiCaln Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 it wont, u need to use it at least 3 or 4 times to wash all the other fuel out of the tank and the pipes, i have never used anything else other than V-Power even when i had the SR - i can feel the fact that the car is more responsive on it and there is no chance i am going to risk my car knocking!

StarletRick Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 V power in an NA is pointless. its fine for stock/near stock glanzas aswell. you only need it when you start running higher boost to reduce the chances of pinking. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Starletraje Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 all depends if youre pinking or not.i was under the impression it prevented pinking.although im not sure what it actually is so meh Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StarletRick Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 pinking/detting is when the fuel ignites before the spark plug fires. and high octane fuel will not ignite as easily under compression as it can withstand more heat due to less contaminents. its essential in high perfornace applications, for example if i ran 95 on mine, it would blow up in about 5 minutes. but on lesser modded cars where the egt isnt high, 95 ron is fine.

paul w Posted August 5, 2008 Share Posted August 5, 2008 Don't waste your money on V power in an N/A ;) Put some injector cleaner through the tank instead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scutch0 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 i just used any old 95 ron shite in my old n/a...an ive used v power in the v and tbh it run far better on esso super, so thats what its lived off for the last two years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpeedFreak Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 I personally wouldn't ever waste my money putting VPower in any N/A car.I put VPower in my Glanza, simply because it runs sh*te on anything else. I tried BP stuff and it makes my car run sh*te. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
