I have been speaking with a mate who tunes Evo's for a living and he mentioned that they often use a clever mix of 9 parts V-Power to 1 part Ethanol to allow the ability of advancing timing due to higher overall fuel octane rating with the mix. Such a mix in theory will be enough to allow timing advance but not enough to cause any of the issues with running high concentrations of ethanol.
I am keen to know if anyone on here has run such a mix on a 2.0tfsi and how they found the results to be. I am also interested in any/all thoughts on the subject.

did you ask the same question on 306 gti-6 http://www.306gti6.com/forum/showthread.php?id=145622

How did you find that out :surprised:
-
Nope that wasn't me. There are one or two good points in that thread though.
Anyone else got any thoughts?
-
Think I remember a thread on this over on SCN a few years ago...
-
Any links would be handy if you have them :happy2:
-
does he mean ethonal or methanol?
Methanol has an octane rating of around 114 if i remember correctly.
I think most unleaded fuels already contain a quantity of ethanol (bio fuel).
-
I would think that any kind of mix away from standard pump fuel was pointless unless you was remapped to accommodate said mix. :happy2: V power is probably the best fuel you can get. If you want to run a mix, it should really only be for RR days and willy waving. (which isn't a problem) :smiley:

he can just knock the timing right up with his select box.
Or get the fully loaded APR code with the race fuel map included and get his crown back :signLOL:

You would say that. :grin:

best 250 he would have spent! :P

Only if it would benefit the OP on a daily basis. If not, standard fuel pump fuel all the way :smiley:

APR bla bla :signLOL: (you have defo either had free work or are dating the main boss at APR Poverty :grin:) - PS that 12.78 Cupra was a REVO car and it was running proper slicks :wink:

I used to big up Revo just as much, and then they kept trying to tell me the flat spot was a problem with my car and then said the same about Wayne.
The guy who did the 12.7 did say he was APR though, and a 12.78 is more a 12.8. Will see though, janner sy, fancy a trip to the pod on the day you pick up the golf R, do some low 12's lol
