at 5:40 this afternoon, after just over 2years of owning my MY97 Turbo.....

i have put SUL in my car!!!!!!! 82.9p a litre!!! ouch!!!!! my £10 will not go far on this!!!!!!! lol

the reason????
well..
just to see if it gets better BHP over UL on G-Mans rolling road day on saturday!!!!


in the last two years she has ran fine on Fina UL so i've always kept at that.


we will see on saturday, anyone else going to Power Engineering??

Phil,

You car will take a few tankfuls to advance the ingnition far enough to fully take advantage of SUL 97 RON.

You need to do an ECU reset. Easiest way is to diconnect the battery for about an hour.

come saturday it will be in the system!!!!!!

do i really need reset the ECU just with changing upto 97/98 SUL petrol????

will the car not adjust itself????????

Phil

 

It should adjust itself - mine did. Especially after a good thrash

 

You should be able to afford Super all the time Phil after what you fleeced me and Michelle for those stickers.

Do an ecu reset as the pre phase 2 cars do not always sort themselves out as easily.

 

Phil - I would think you would notice a difference - I run my UK wagon on SUL all the time and round the Nurburgring used an octane booster aswell.....certainly feels stronger IMHO but I have yet to do an ECU reset on her....the other weird think was since I used French / Belgian and German 98RON SUL I have had no overboost??? strange - unless it was a dodgy batch of UK petrol that had caused my probs before I went...
Remember the gains on the rollers might be caused by a change in ambient temps and not the change in fuel although it *will* make a difference

 

In my Rover I switched from UL to SUL and found that I got an extra 35-40 miles out of a tank, making it cheaper per mile! All the engine sensors told the ecu it had a stronger spark so it chucks a little less in. Bonza. I will try to avoid normal UL for ever

 

tnx peeps

just spoke to Tim (service manager) at Beechdale Subaru Nottm.
he said it will adjust itself vertually straight away, no need 4 me to do anything with the car.....also it will take affect as soon as its in the system (i've filled up from empty anyway) so this week we will see!

Phil

 

Duya find that everything is calmer and smoother now. I know I did when i changed, it seemed to handle throttle inputs much more matter of factly whereas before it was all very crashy and loud

Let us know dude
