Frequently Asked Tuning Questions

 

Q.

Which Octane Booster in your experience is best?

 

A.

We actually don’t recommend any of the locally made Octane Boosters due to our experience with them and we are talking real world data, logging the knock directly from Evo’s computer at 1.3bar boost. Also given the fact that there is no factual evidence showing the actual increase in the octane of treated Fuel but more importantly no real evidence showing that it is worth the money. We cannot given our experience with them recommend that people spend their hard earned money on any of the locally made boosters.

 

However in our Testing we did find that two imported Octane Boosters do work very well, namely Torco and NF Octane Booster.

 

We in our own cars use Witches Brew it’s a recipe that the Opel Turbo and Subaru guys have been using for years to reliably and predictably increase the octane of the base Fuel so that they can run high Boost on their cars. The formula is very simple:

 

50% Toluene

25% Xylene

25% Methanol

 

*50ml Acetone (we add this to improve the burn and atomisation of the fuel mix)

*50ml Two Stroke Oil (we add this for lubrication as the Tol & Xyl are very dry aromatics)

 

 

How we mix it:

 

5L Witches Brew + 40L 95 = 98 Octane

 

5L Witches Brew + 20L 95 = 100 Octane

 

5L Witches Brew + 15L 95 = 102 Octane

 

 

 

That’s pretty much how it works and Witches Brew also makes the Fuel mix more resistant to knock because its slows the flame speed down...

 

You can buy Witches Brew from Triangle Solvents in 25L containers.

NF Sport + 50L 95 = 98 Octane

 

NF Race + 50L 95 = 100 Octane
