So let me clear something up for everyone in the comments yes you can use this in any of you're vehicles theres nothing on the bsck or the bottle thst says excludes 2018 impala or will not worl with audi.. if you hsve a GASOLINE engine it will run but what you also don't realize is to get any actual benifit you need a custome tune.... ya see the rigged up this gr with a tune commanding more timing then what is usually ran on 93 then acted like the bottle magically adds power when in reality they found max timing for the boostane mix and put lower octane 93 in it and made the first initial pull
This is an interesting observation. Thanks!
Hallo, i have the bnmw 440i with stage 2 ( 458 hp, 610 NM) , I use from ARAL Gas Station the Aral ultimate 102 octane, if i use this stuff with 102 octan gas how many octan i have ??? And is save for the engine??
This is wrong… the mustangs have variable timing. So like he says in the video.. the car realized it can keep adding timing to its max (26) and as long as it doesn’t see knock then it will do that and keep it there. The original pull the car wants to go to 26 timing but it can’t cause it is detecting knock so it went to 24 then to 22 degrees of timing. That is a huge loss of power. That’s why cars with variable timing see 20-50hp with this stuff when you are on 91/93 crap fuel. This is like doing e85 except it is more reliable because it is consistent
I believe running race gas or an octane boost may shorten the spark plug life, but even it shortens the life 50%... spark plugs can last 100k miles... if you’re racing you probably don’t wait 50k to change plugs..🤷♂️
I use Bootystane, it leaves awesome skid marks!
I see what you did there... It's almost a shame how long it took us to get it.
VP Racing Octanium all day long. Power, affordable and didn't kill my spark plugs
Nice!
Watch videos of people
Doing the same thing with that crap. It has a shelf life and it isnt as stable. Plus doesn’t add as much octane. There is a reason you can buy that crap at grocery stores basically haha.. it’s garbage. It’s why you don’t see it at race tracks and you see boostane.
Not only that but for those that like e85, boostane is just a gas additive meaning no need for crazy fuel lines since you're not hammering the injectors and going high on the duty cycle
Did they have to tune the timing into the ECU or the computer compensate for the boostane on its own?
BOOST with Boostane
Skeptically used it on a N.A 3.6L V6. USA 93Octance gas with 4oz. Boostane per 15 Gallons.
Acceleration is better and response in Gears 3-4 is better when you press on the gas pedal. Overall, pleasantly surprised with the product.
Will wait to see how much Orange, the spark-plugs and the exhaust get :). Perhaps, I should use it on every third Gas Fill, to avoid any long term damage
are these guys getting paid by BOOSTANE or is BOOSTANE making donations to the tuning school, something about their reaction/line delivery seemed off to me???
Any time there’s stock video being used, the company is paying them to review the product
How does it affect spark plugs over time?
from what ive heard as long as you dont use too much its ok but if you use to much itll gunk em up and youre supposed to run clean fuel every 4-5 tanks for a tank to clean it off
sounds like a commercial
Hey, thanks! We're hoping to sound professional.
Gas it up and Burn it down Bob!
😎👍
does negative knock mean its adding timing
For GM models, it will come up positive if there is knock. For Dodge and Ford models, if there's knock, it will come up as negative.
@@TheTuningSchool negative knock has shown on something like the ngauge is then adding timing.
Can be used on mercedes? Or not recommended, I got a 63 amg
Boostane please change bottle where you can see how many ounces you use and a longer knock so it doesn’t require a funnel.
That stuff can't be exposed to artificial or sunlight.
That Brett guy reminds of of Brian Dunkleman (Am Idol season 1).
It sucks that this comes across as a blatant advertisement for the product, because it DOES actually work, but the corny scripted nature of the video makes it feel more like a shady infomerical. Bottom line, the stuff DOES work!
Ha, thanks! We actually weren't aiming for corny. But as long as you agree about the product, then we'll take that as a job well done 👍
I've also personally seen amazing results with it. On a ZL1 Camaro I recently tuned, with a 101 octane blend, I was able to run over 10 degrees more timing without knock over 91 octane fuel.
It gave my wideband an orange color but the wideband still functions properly. It passes the sensor calibration test on my Afr500v2 without even moving the adjustment knob from the last calibration pre-boostane.
Great product
What was the volume of Boostane used i what volume of 93 octane to achieve what octane value?
Sorry, this video was long ago. There is a chart in the back of the bottle (and on the Boostane website) that can give you and idea of input vs output.
Hoping you can answer a question. I have a C7 z06. Stuck with 91 in CA, did an intake, Corsa exhaust and tuned for 91. Shop called said the car is struggling with 91, I thought that's the purpose of the tune. They want me to do flex fuel. I asked if we should just to torco or boostane, they said that would be good. They I asked why don't we re-tune for 93 if I use octane boost consistently. Then they said no, it would hardly do anything and maybe I would only see 10 horsepower that I would not feel.
This didn't make any sense to me, if I'm losing 30 to 40 horsepower with 91 and they retuned it then why wouldn't it be better than keeping whatever they did with the 91 tune with octane Booster? Seems like I could have just did the octane booster from the start to get it working with the factory tune instead of tuning it at all.
I'm ignorant when it comes to this stuff but I'm trying to figure out if I can trust what I'm being told. Thank you in advance and sorry for the long question
It sounds like they gave you a cheap, pre-designed tune that wasn't compatible with your engine and didn't bother adjusting it to match. Either they have no idea what they're doing and just uploading software they pulled off the internet, or they just didn't feel like doing their job that day.
Go to another shop
How about telling everybody how much of this stuff you mixed with 93 pump gas. Maybe use the chart on the can, have us follow along, and compute the new octane number ? You guys are a SCHOOL, right ?
That's a great idea! We try to leave the goodies (the details) for our students, but we think this might be a great topic for one of our future Tech Tuesdays. Thanks for the feedback!
Something to think about....I buy a LOT of aviation fuel....more than 10k gals a month. I talked to the techs and they told me they ad Zylene (Zylol commercial name at ace hardware) to the fuel to get octane numbers. I run 12/1 pistons in my Harley and at high altitudes it usually will not spark knock unless it's over 100*. I keep a small bottle of Zylol with me all the time so if there's a place I can't get high test I can add about 2 oz per gallon and no more knock. Never burnt a piston or a spark plug and the motor has more than 40k miles on this build. I run 30+* of timing with zero problems....no compression releases and a big cam. Just sayin.....straight from the techs..... By the way...I have the tuning school home study course and I tuned my 99 FRC corvette and it runs perfect at all times
I had to look that up. Indeed it has been used for years apparently on GNX's and other turbo cars. Ancient Chinese secret. LOL
@@TheTmshuman My husband, some hot shot...lol I remember the commercial! Good comment!
In my country we have bad quality gasoline adn i own a turbocharge car, so i decided to use Boostane to get a higher octane level. The question is: is it bad for daily use? Thanks a lot
It's probably better for your engine to get the Boostane more often than allowing your engine knock.
If the tuning school promoting this I’m sold... this a lot cheaper than doing a return style system on my car... and e85 price is on the rise so if won’t be cost effective for long
Yes Boostane will be your best option. Let me know if we can help in any way
Needs tuning?
Hmm I do want better octane instead of 91. E85 in Arizona is kind of easy to get but you have to purchase chucks of it. So this seems like a better route for my 91 300zxTT.
Do I have to leave the gas fuel low where the light comes on to add this octane to it? Or can I just add the same amount when I have a quarter of gas left? Don’t want to add too much and blow the motor (again)
I use in germany from Aral ultimate 102 octan , if i use extra this stuff how many octane together gives me?? AND IS SAFE??
102ron is 95-96oct. The chart on the back is using 93.
So it's simple math.
Add 2-3 to whatever you see on the back for the amount you poured.
1 quart treating 1 gal takes 93 octane up to 116, giving Boostane an octane rating of 208.
1 quart treating 187.5 gal takes 93 octane up to 96, giving a Boostane an octane rating of 2350.
Are we living in fantasy land???????
Is there any risk if i tuned the car using two bottles of boostane ? Fuel tank is half (30 liters)
Note
1- 98 octane fuel
2- car is ats v from gcc
Nice!!
Thanks!
I'm gona try this stuff in my 1985 ford escort.
Alright!
Hallo, i live in germany , i have a bmw 440i with stage 2 ( 458 hp , 620 Nm) , i use from ARAL Gas Station the ARAL ULTIMATE 102 OCTANE, if i use this stuff with 102 gas together how many octane i have??? And is save for the engine??
Boostane has an app that can help you calculate what fuel your car needs how much booster you need to achieve it. It's available on IOS, so it's probably also on android
I've used it and it's no better than the others,they only do something if you have high compression.
I use it in my n55 Bmw with a ots tune. Definitely kicked .3 off my dragy times (only way I can measure).
I am confused so I have Dodge Challenger scat pack wide body 2019 so what is professional premium marine!?? So which one do I get ?
Marine means boat... So even tho you car is a "boat". You don't have a boat.
Lmao
Thats a big girl🤣
I live in the middle of Nevada, I can only get 91 octane fuel from pump but would like to run 93 octane in every tank. Is this a viable solution as an every tank adaptive in your opinion? I have a 2018 Charger 392 Daytona that is completely stock and it’s an everyday driver. If not what is your recommendation for raising my octane to 93 that won’t kill my car and my bank? Don’t say move! 😂
contact www.boostane.com and they can help you out. We are the Australian agents
Can you let me know your thoughts? I used too much octane booster with MMT in it and it turned all of my plugs orange, I'm assuming the tops of my pistons and the bottom of my valves too, question is can I use premium unleaded here in CA and will that shit burn off?? Or did I harm the engine? Ford FE 428.
The residue is harmless.
Anyone try this in a modified 2 stroke dirt bike? Currently mix 110 with 91 octane 50?50 with the head mods and porting work. Would the benefits be similar using 91 pump and Boostane? Very pricey race fuel up here.
Have a boat with 87 octane seems to have gotten old, Will the product help make the engine perform better?
maybe
Can i use this boostane for chevy impala 2018
Make sure you double check with your local shop on which formula is best for the specific outcome you want.
It is better than turbo 108?
why the noise in the background? OMG people don't seem to get this!
ITS THASHIT.
PROUD OF THIS PRODUCT ON WATER.
QUALITY FOR 90 REC MARINE
HUGE DIFFERENCE IN IDLING
GOTTA HAVE IT
Thanks for the feedback!
This wouldn’t work with enthanol would it ? I have 2017 STI running flex fuel but usually the flex sensor reads 80%
Would this help add more ?
Yes! It can help protect against some of the negative effects of ethanol. Check out our other videos on flex sensors.
Oh also tunning school fyi the 1 to 1 ratio on that car is 5th gear not 4th smfh
Please can anyone explain. 2018 Honda Accord sport 1.5 turbo . Owner’s manual says 87 octane or higher is recommended . I asked dealer and they don’t know , only said use regular . Then they checked the car (mpi) and sad my car needs cleaning a lot of carbon ($290) . I’m sure that from regular gasoline . Compression ratio 10:3.1 . I tried once 93 and car lost power , maybe need more tanks . Thanks !
I'm a Honda Master Technician. Your vehicle is direct injected and will run best on 87 octane, which is what it is tuned for. The carbon cleaning they tried to sell you is just an upsell tactic to sell you some more work. American Honda does not recommend any type of Carbon Cleaning. I would politely decline that service and continue to use 87 octane in your '18 Accord 1.5T
Shit! I run 12:1 CR I NEED THIS!!!
Haha! Thanks for watching.
Was the vehicle tune after installing the BOOSTanse in the gas tank?
or was the tune the same on both dyno runs TheTuningSchool??
They added timing so they ran a different tune
Tune was same but because gas had higher octane the ecm allowed more timing.
Try AMS octan boost
So basically, if you have to add a can of something to your fuel, your either not using the correct fuel or your tune is wrong.
Yes race gas is more expensive and some are street legal but at least they didn’t turn my plugs orange.
Turning the plugs a shade of orange from MMT residue, is absolutely harmless.....
I have an Audi A8 and I'm wanna know can I put this stuff in my car without any negative consequences
Yes! That will work. Boostane is Wideband safe.
Lol he just pours it right in the tank and dynos and gets huge gains immediately? RIIIIIGHT!!! You would need to drive around and have it all blended in with the system. Obviously they adjusted the tune and the power wasn’t just gained from simply pouring it right in and like magic all this power immediately.
While the would have had to run it a little to actually get the blended fuel to the rails (and I’m sure they did) but it would have picked up power exactly like this because the tune was pulling 2.2 deg of timing on pump gas. The coyote engine targets a set max timing and then uses knock sensors to pull timing till there is no more knock. This change is even more pronounced on a boosted engine mine makes about 50 more hp on the same tune with Boostane than it does on straight 91 because on 91 it pulls a bunch of timing.
This has been a paid advertising
So, does BOOSTane contain MMT?
Yes. Large amount
@@MustangGuru what is MMT..? Sorry if it's a dumb question, honestly don't know.
Michael Angel from an internet search I found.
Methylcyclopentadienyl manganese tricarbonyl (MMT or MCMT) is an organomanganese compound with the formula (C5H4CH3)Mn(CO)3. Initially marketed as a supplement for use in leaded gasoline, MMT was later used in unleaded gasoline to increase the octane rating. Following the implementation of the Clean Air Act (United States) (CAA) in 1970, MMT continued to be used alongside tetraethyl lead (TEL) in the US as leaded gasoline was phased out (prior to TEL finally being banned from US gasoline in 1995), and was also used in unleaded gasoline until 1977. Ethyl Corporation obtained a waiver from the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) in 1995, which allows the use of MMT in US unleaded gasoline (not including reformulated gasoline) at a treat rate equivalent to 8.3 mg Mn/L (manganese per liter).[2]
MMT has been used in Canadian gasoline since 1976 (and in numerous other countries for many years) at a concentration up to 8.3 mg Mn/L (though the importation and interprovincial trade of gasoline containing MMT was restricted briefly during the period 1997-1998)[3][4] and was introduced into Australia in 2000. It has been sold under the tradenames HiTEC® 3000, Cestoburn and Ecotane.[5][6]
Though initially marketed in 1958 as a smoke suppressant for gas turbines, MMT was further developed as an octane improver in 1974. When the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ordered the phase out of TEL in gasoline in 1973, new fuel additives were sought. TEL has been, and still is, used in certain countries as an additive to increase the octane rating of automotive gasoline.
In 1977, the US Congress amended the CAA to require advance approval by the EPA for the continued use of fuel additives such as MMT, ethanol, ethyl tert-butyl ether (ETBE), etc.[7] The new CAA amendment required a "waiver" to allow use of fuel additives made of any elements other than carbon, hydrogen, oxygen (within certain limits) and nitrogen.[8] To obtain a waiver, the applicant was required to demonstrate that the fuel additive would not lead to a failure of vehicle emission control systems.
Ethyl Corporation (Ethyl) applied to the US EPA for a waiver for MMT in both 1978 and 1981; in both cases the applications were denied because of stated concerns that MMT might damage catalytic converters and increase hydrocarbon emissions. In 1988, Ethyl began a new series of discussions with the EPA to determine a program for developing the necessary data to support a waiver application. In 1990, Ethyl filed its third waiver application prompting an extensive four-year review process. In 1993, the U.S. EPA determined that use of MMT at 8.3 mg Mn/l would not cause, or contribute to, vehicle emission control system failures.[9]
Michael Angel In addition.
A manganese fuel additive, MMT, is now being used in many unleaded gasolines to improve their octane quality. Use of MMT at concentrations up to 0.033 g Mn/ℓ (0.125 g Mn/gal) is expected to increase. To determine the effect of MMT on exhaust emission control systems, five cars were tested for 80 000 km (50,000 miles) using a driving schedule which included 113 km/h (70 mph) steady speed driving. In this type of operation, use of MMT caused: plugging of monolithic converters located close to the exhaust manifold; partial plugging of an underfloor bead converter; an increase of hydrocarbon emissions from the engines; and excessive spark plug deposits. However, use of MMT apparently enhanced catalytic converter oxidizing activity and did not substantially affect octane requirement increase. These preliminary data suggest that use of MMT in commercial gasolines may cause problems with exhaust emission control systems now in use.
It would be nice if Boostane actually had some type of easy way to measure how much you are putting in your tank... For most of us we dont know how much 4 ounces is etc. A can of Boostane comes in 32 Oz. If Im running 91 octane and want 94 then i have to add 4 Oz of Boostane, is the cap 1 Oz? is the bottle see through on a side to see how much is left like they do on motor oil? Would be nice if they did that to make measuring easier on the fly... Im not putting a whole bottle of boostane in with a tank of 91... I dont need 99 octane which is what I would get if I put a whole can in of Boostane to a 24 gallon tank of 91. considering each can costs $30.
Go to your local hardware store and buy a quart paint mixing cup and funnel. The cup is transparent and makes measuring easy. I just refill my used boostane cans with desired amount and keep a couple in the trunk.
Boostane does work but it does leave orange crap on plugs and 02 censors
The residue is harmless....
Damn that 2011 with 2018 mani and jlt seem such a low hp. I thought they would make 400+ to the wheel with those mods according to vmp 🤔
Yeah every other car when similar mods including mines it's closer to 400 with a gen 1 coyote 15% driveline loss should put car at about what they have down I'm thinking car has mods with no tune
Mustang dyno.
Unfortunately this and alli the other octane boosters including torco destroy spark plugs. They leave an orange coating and reduce the life, efficiency and integrity of the spark plug, which in some instances can cause them to chip or break off. This can cause catastrophic engine failure.
Alex,
We completely understand where you are coming from, as what you have said has been completely accurate from all boosters (that actually create octane). That is until we developed our proprietary chelating carrier and delivery system for the active ingredients. As a result, we have been able to prevent the excessive buildup that causes these harmful side effects.
See here a quick explanation and visual to what I am referring to.
ruclips.net/video/gKaHMPw0zQ8/видео.html
Don't get me wrong, we are not able to eliminate some of discoloration, just the excessive buildup that other additives cause due to their inability to maintain suspension, and the higher density active ingredients being pulled through in a coagulated form. At the end of the day though, if you are running over 100 octane, whether it is with a booster or race fuel, expect that some engine internals like plugs will not have the same lifespan as they would had they not been under the extra load of high octane/higher compression/more timing/etc.
BOOSTane would you recommend this on just a track use or something we can use daily ?
Alex, i used Boostane in my 2018 Dodge Demon, and had my dodge techs at the dealership check my spark plugs. The techs advised the plugs look great other then light color change but were in good condition. You can see the Techs response and my spark plug change here 8.35 ruclips.net/video/_5IZx8O2y1M/видео.html
Your an idiot. Dumbasses like you is the problem with the internet where idiots are allowed to fabricate crap and post it up for the gullible.
For the most part that does not matter, for race cars, trucks, boats it does not matter. In a street car you should be running it in kill mode 24/7. I have a 572ci bbc with a 4.0l whipple in my boat running 10lbs of boost somewhere around 1100hp. In our industry we run a richer afr to keep combustion temps down because of sustained high rpm cruises, so I change plugs a couple times a year to keep peak performance. So some extra soot on plugs does not matter.
MMT is bad for modern engines with long term use
Incorrect. This is false.
Knock prob interfered bc no oil catch can
this is some seriously shameless advertising! hahaha
Yeah.. we are a bit animated, but it's a really great product! Try for yourself if you haven't
Sorry boostane killed my plugs in 1 month. All octane boosters will mess up your plugs no more for me.
Nobody ever said you were supposed to run octane boosters 24/7 That's just common sense
Killed your plugs? False news. Been using MMT boosters since 2002, never have any of them "killed" plugs.
Do you drive your car with the hood open? Then why would you do a test with it open? The engine is getting more air that way. Not real world results.
looks like a paid commercial-Snakeoil, this looks like propaganda to me
It is better than turbo 108?
