BP 102

Read about this in the Evo newsletter.

Has anyone tried it ?

How much is it ?

Did you notice any gains ?



(Apologies if this has come up in a thread I haven't seen)

I havent tried it but i seem to recall its about £2.50 per litre  . I think youd feel a difference but i doubt it would be worth the extra cash.

Buy octane booster instead!

 I've heard it is a high vicosity fuel, and over long periods can gum up injectors.

It won't make bu&&er all difference on the standard ECU mapping, as the upper limit is only designed for 98RON (hopefully with some kind of tollerance error - to allow for the now 99RON stuff).

The only time you would achieve any real gain, would be from a specially designed re-map, with the upper limit threshold specifically designed for 102RON.  This also applies to octane boosters too!

Just a waste of money, IMHO.

I didn't realise that. I'll not bother getting any then

Mutters to himself..and throws octane booster over shoulder into bin

Hurdy, Do not bother with octance booster in your NEW motor!!!!!!, that stuff only works if your engine is on the tired side!!!

Yes but on a back to back scenario, the higher octane will give a better cleaner burn, for the same max advance curve at the same rpm.

Not necessarily so.  The actual "quality" of the burn has nothing to do with the anti-knock (hence octane rating) ability of the fuel (providing that both lower and higher octane fuels are both operating without knock).

What you may be thinking, is that the higher octane fuels usually also have a better overall additives package, which may help to modify the actual flame front, and the general quality of the combustion process.

Isn't that what i said  :embarassed:
