has anyone had any experience with this fuel? just want to know how well it works with a 16:1 comp ratio as opposed to the other fuels out on the market. thanks for the help....... peace!

 

I don't know how it works out in an all motor car but in a turbo gsr it's a nice change from C-16.

I've herd of some all motor guys running 118 in other brands and having some good results with it. So there mite be something there for your car.

 

run the VP C-19 good for high compression all motor cars.

C19
Used in high RPM, normally aspirated drag race applications with CRs up to 17:1. Spec fuel for NHRA Comp Eliminator classes.

• Color: Yellow
• Motor Octane: 116
• Specific Gravity: .695 at 60° F

C16
Used in turbocharged engines, blown engines and nitrous applications with CRs up to 17:1. Recommended by the top nitrous oxide companies. Spec Fuel for NHRA Comp Eliminator.

• Color: Blue
• Motor Octane: 117
• Specific gravity: .735 at 60° F


VP Import
Maximum power and torque in small displacement, high RPM, all motor, turbocharged or nitrous sport compact applications. Makes 5% more power than C16 and similar nonoxygenated fuels. Works well under high temperatures due to mechanical heat.

• Color: Clear
• Motor Octane: 120+
• Specific Gravity: .744 at 60° F

 

We just started to use it in our all motor car. I'll give you the results when we are done tunning. VP import is legal in NDRA but not in NHRA. Will NHRA make it legal this year?

 

Damn, Jason, where the hell you been lately???? Good to see you still alive!!

 

thanks for the info guys......i think ill look into the c19 more.......vp import seems to be an expensive gas. but if thats what it takes.......

 

VP Import is a good replacement for Alky...hehe....


Im using it in our 10.5:1 Turbo motor.....

who sells vp import?

i cant find it no where.

 

VP dealers sell VP Import

I'm very familiar with this fuel, I don't know how well it will run in all motor. In turbo cars it runs well but takes a lot of time to tune properly.

VP Import will probably not be re-instated in NHRA because its an oxygenated fuel and that's why its most likely not legal.

I like VP Import, but many others prefer C16, its just in the tuning and knowledge of the fuel. VP Import is farther off the scale on the tune-up and has damaged some people's turbo's by running really hot EGT's

Thanks

whats that like $9 a gallon?

 

its more like $17 per gallon.....unless someone knows where i can get it cheaper? it was $85 for the 5 gallon jug. please help me find it cheaper!!!

 

i'll check when i get back to the shop tomorrow. we are a VP dealer but carry the c16, methanol and ms104 only. never really get calls for vp import.

 

unless you buy 30K worth of VP...your not gonna get much of a deal....

Yup. You need to stock a good amt of VP to get the best deals. Most shops like us, pretty much do it for the Service. So that racers have a place to get them. There's no money to be made in Race fuel.

 

17 bones a gallon !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf!

 

Anybody try the 110octane unleaded on their street cars. I been experimenting with it the last few months on a turbo 16v vw. Made about the same power as c16....359whp....no pings or detonation.
just the 8dollar a gal price hurts a lil bit.

 

Hey Soch is that you?

Sure is...soch....hcos...

 

would ethenol be considered as a gas or an alternative fuel? from what i understand... ethenol is where pump gas gets its octane. any thoughts on ethenol?

 

Here's a reality check.

VP C44 $28-30/gal. in small quantity.

 

Damn, better not run too rich with that stuff!
