Default Race Gas

Whats up,

I new to this **** so help me out
I'm about to get a Wide band meter so I can tune my B16turbo with AFC hack

I wanna boost something like 10-11 psi but I will use Race Gas I'm gonna use ELF moto 124 ,they told me this is more than 116 octane fuel ,since I cant get C16 or something like that anywhere here ( netherlands)

Is there a difference in reading the Wideband when I use regular fuel and the Race Fuel

Hope you guys can help me out with some advice
By the way I'm using stock ignition my sparkplug gaps are now 0.030"

No difference in reading the wideband applies as long as you are using gasoline. If you use an "alternative fuel" like methanol, for example, you use a different ratio scale. Otherwise, happy tuning!

you dont need race fuel for 10psi, unless you just dont like your o2 and want to burn it up

Damn, hope thats not true. If so I am depriving my lawnmower and 4 wheeler of the full potency of my left-over 112.

Yes race gas can go bad. I've always been told to store it in an air tight container to help it stay longer. If not I was told four months tops.

Feul by little people for little cars, manufactured in big trees. Kinda went to far with that one .

if you dont want your engine to blow buy Hondata or some other system. taking the cheaper easier way out is never cheaper in the end.
