A major point you forgot to mention is that avgas contains TEL and you don't want to use that stuff period, destroys sensors and generates lead sludge internally in the long run. So, unless the engine is carburated or doesn't have oxygen sensors forget about avgas.
@@mechanicalwarriorsofficial I bought the FD the way it is. Engine is modded, single turbo running on haltech Elite 2500. For now it will be use for street use
@@edgardoarroyo7418 for street use I would mix Klotz racing caster oil in with your e85 at 120:1 make sure u mix the fuel before u put it in the car some make the mistake of just putting the oil in and not mixing it as it will sit on the bottom of the tank but once’s it’s mixed it will stay suspended in the fuel I mix mine in a 20L drum before I put it in the car. Dose your FD still have the factory metering pump on it ?
How does octane ratings in Aus compare to NA? Typically the highest rating I see here in Canada is 93 or 94 and guys will use that up to about the same you are saying, 16psi. I have a friend running 93 and just water injector up to about 21psi. Just curious if the octane numbers are different from here to there?
94 is just normal unleaded we have here premium 98 which is good for around 16 to 18 pound depending on your setup but beyond that u need to switch to a alcohol based fuel to run higher boost
@@mechanicalwarriorsofficial I see, the scale must be different, regular here is 87, premium is 91, then some stations will have an “extra premium” at 93 or 94 depending on the brand.
@@mechanicalwarriorsofficial so did a bit of googling; AUS uses a RON laboratory test to determine fuel octane rating. There is a different type of lab test called MON. Canada and the US uses the average of RON and MON in a scale labelled as AKI. So in AUS 95 (RON) is equal to 87 (MON) and in Canada/US it is the average of the two, so 91 (AKI)…. Good to know!
Great content!
Thanks mate more to come

Good point, yeah I have not had to much experience with it myself I did not know it destroyed sensors interesting thanks for the input

@@jesseaumiller8688 that’s very interesting!
I had no idea of this why would they do this I wonder ??
