I figured I try to put this here for some exposure, Im really hoping guys like Big John, Dave Trygstad, and turbo companies get in on this conversation cause this topic has me curious.
So I had a interesting conversation with my brother about issues with a performance box he added to a snosports toy he has. Its actually a snow bike. I know this is a G4 thread but this info has me wondering if the info I heard has some merit, that effects the sled aftermarket industry.
Hes having some issues on his bike and called the manufacturer of the power box. Apparently the company has received lots of complaints from Canadian customers with the same issue but the issue does not exist in the US.
So the tech guy came all the way to the revelstoke area to do some investigation. His tune in the box he developed relies on fuel that contains ethanol in it, and claims the ethanol in the fuel makes more power than pure pump gas. So it turns out he tested lots of fuel in the Revelstoke area and did not find any ethanol in the Canadian fuel. I always thought some premium fuels at certain gas stations didnt have it and the other grades did, but he also tested mid grade, down to regular grade and there was no ethanol present.
So the problem with the box is its not seeing the proper fuel and it needs the ethanol in it to build more power.
My question to the Engine and turbo builders and tuners is, does your kits require the same ethanol blend fuel to make your pump gas kits run the way they should?
