(was going to post in Drivetrain but wanted urgent attention )

* Received first bottle of Racing NF (black) this morning.

* Tank half full of Optimax. Put 50ml of NF in and filled tank up with Optimax.

* Drove about a mile and stopped and did ECU reset.

* Car is driving horribly. It literally feels asthough somebody has stolen my turbo. Nice and smooth but no power. It has completely lost that "throw you in to your seat" kick.

* Drove down a (private ) road where I can measure against previously attained speeds. Can usually get about 91-95 mph down here before braking. Only reached about 84mph.

* Please help me somebody. I am unhappy/worried/frustrated.

* It said something about using a NF cleaner before this but I haven't (Optimax has cleaning additives?) - could this have anything to do with it?

The only advice ill give and no doubt that others will is that you just keep filling up with optimax, its suppose to clean out the engine so if the NF you put in is giving your car hassle you have to flush it out of the system soonest

Hello, we have had no compliants of this, but several customers saying that their cars run bad on just optimax, have you ran optimax before ?

Just looking up some more information for you.

 

Been using Optimax for about 2 months - car drives superbly on that alone and even better after I did the ECU reset after first starting using it.

 

Did Dave pi$$ in the bottle

OK, on the case.

 

nobber!

 

Car seems to be running better now. Not sure if better than before NF but certainly no worse.

Do you think it is safe to assume things are OK then?

Perhaps the ECU took some time to adjust or something.

Not sure whether to carry on using it though.

Thanks

I'd guess at a bit of dirt in the fuel, in which case now it's gone you should be ok

No worries, car is going really well now.

Sounds great. Boost is up 0.5 BAR - could be the cold weather??

MPG terrible though down to 18.1 mpg from average 25 mpg

Thats cause the nf makes heavy feet if you drink it

 

Boost up 0.5 bar???????? Thats 7+ psi...I hear a bang coming

 

OOPS - my mistake - 0.05 BAR
