110 Leaded Race Gas vs. Lucas Octane Booster

[galljr13]

First, Is 110 octane leaded gas safe to run when 1.5 gallons is added to a tank of gas for our 1100 turbos? Are the 02 sensors going to fail?

Second, if the 110 leaded is ok, is that more effective than adding a bottle of Lucas Octane Booster to a tank?

Gallon of 110 is $10.25
Bottle of Lucas $8

I should mention my goal is to run a 93octane EVO reflash and only 91 octane is available at the pump. I still occasionally get "octane" warning from my ecu so I would rather be safe and get to 93 octane even without the reflash.

Thanks!

1.5 of 110 to a tank should get you a tad more than 93. The guys I ride with have been running turbos for several years, and have had issues with octane additives.

Definitely 110

We can run here with our T1100's 1.5 to 2 gal of 100llc Avgas to a tank of 91 pump gas
runs fine and performs very well..no warnings from our sleds

100llc runs about $5.85/gal at the local airport

This is running on the EVO reflash

So it sounds like leaded gas IS ok? And it won't screw up 02 sensors?

The 02 sensor issue is a long term one, more appropriate in an automotive application... if you lose a sensor at 15,000 miles or 50,000 miles on a sled... that's the last thing you're worrying about!!!

Ran Torco accelerator in my Turbo Yamaha,
8 oz to 5 gal premium= 95
16 to 5=102
32 to 5=105
3500 miles on boost with zero issues
quart cost 21.00
5 gallon cost 295.00

buy either 110 or Avgas to mix to add octane

avgas rocks

avgas rocks

For $1.65 a litre, why would anyone even mess around mixing fuel? It's 20 cents a litre more than 91 octane pump.
Avgas has octane guaranteed at 100, but can be tested as high as 130 octane.

ACR?

WHAT YEAR?

AV gas is $ 6.10 a gallon and race fuel is $ 11:50 a gallon 91 $ 3.50 gallon.

I was under the impression that most offroad octane boosters contain lead anyway. This is a good thread to read over in the Poo turbo section too http://www.snowest.com/forum/showthread.php?t=220800

Wow. Just ran 1.5 gallons of 110 race gas in my sled today and it did the job. No more octane warning and it without a doubt runs better. Wasn't expecting it to reach 8000 RPMs so quickly.
