Blowing flames out the dump pipe

[ali123]

In a turbo application, the idea of running super high octane fuel is the ability to turn up the boost without detonation. If you're running 114 on a pump gas boost setup, you're losing power. For maximum power, you want to run the lowest octane fuel possible while avoiding destination. Oxygenated fuels are different but they don't typically belong in turbo applications

in a turbo setup.... anything lower than 92... ure playing with fire IMO.... why do u think they are running 11.5 to 1 while in boost.... to avoid a lean condition... which is the kiss of death in a turbo bike.... in theory ure right... but damn... lol... don't give anyone any ideas.

I agree, whatever it was tuned for is what you should run. If its a 93 octane pump gas map and you arbitrarily dump in 114, you're losing power.

Copy that.

Oh okay Red .

I wonder how the 10 would act ?

Exactly this in all applications because octane is a flame retardant so if too high the fuel is still burning as it exits the pipe. Your energy is being used in the atmosphere instead of in your combustion chamber. Race fuel is LESS flammable than 87 regular that is why 87 pings sooner.

Also too high of octane can burn valves.

ever watch a car with a BIG shot of nitrous with a bunch of timing pulled??? BIG flames
