Shell V-Power 91 and PSI?

Dmacc · 04-15-2011, 01:21 PM

I'm just curious for all those people who live in crappy gasville, what PSI are you running on full bolt on cars with no meth? Using shell 91. I have a procede.

wtfmateim65 · 04-15-2011, 02:19 PM

haha crappy gasville resident here. Autotuning turns my boost down so its wavering around 11-13 psi to keep timing solid. If i run map 1 13.5 it pulls harder but I believe the timing is a little lower. I have downpipes,DCI,jb4, Dinan exhaust. I'm installing intercooler and meth this weekend should get me up in the 14-15 range!

Autotuning FTW!

oh how i HATE you guys with 93!

infinitekidM2C · 04-15-2011, 03:59 PM

i run the current map 1 = 13.5 ; no problems

EastBayE90 · 04-15-2011, 04:14 PM

I too live in NorCal and love paying $4.25 for crappygasville's finest 91 octane. I always use Shell and have been holding 13.5 psi solid on map 1 and around 14.5-14 psi on map 2. The 3-30 DIC maps helped me out alot. I was usually lower than than target boost on the old maps because I need to change my plugs. I sometimes got miss fires because of my plugs on map 2 on the old maps but now since I got Shiv's DIC I've been fine.

I run a V5 with Shell 91 at 14-15.5 PSI all day long with FBO's. When spraying meth I'll see 15-16.5 when it map switches for me.

Maddawg58 · 04-15-2011, 05:41 PM

Same here Hawaii is all 91 or 92, running 3-30 DIC and getting the 13.5, prob cause autotune is disabled, I think I was getting about 10-12 on 12-17 w/autotune....

Syndicategt · 04-15-2011, 05:41 PM

Oh by the way, if you live in CA and have a NAPA, they sell **edit it's Shell URT100 race gas

infinitekidM2C · 04-15-2011, 06:09 PM

Luckily there is a 76 around my area that sells race gas..i sometimes throw some in...but it aint cheap!

Fernflex · 04-15-2011, 08:01 PM

I was using shell 93 V-Power and change to Texaco 93 with techron and Im seeing better results.

Tungtr09 · 04-16-2011, 10:17 PM

I'm pumping 92 and running map 5 and getting 13.5-15 psi

infinitekidM2C · 04-17-2011, 03:45 PM

Shiv mentioned sth about seeing better autotune results using 76...I know we r not using autotune but better gas is better

Sorry 76 Conoco Station gas gave him better results than the others he tried. he didnt say it was necessarily better gas or whatever but just reported his own observation which he compared with Chevron and Shell i believe

Maddawg58 · 04-18-2011, 01:26 AM

Just hit 15 psi with no problems on 76's 92 octane out here on Oahu, that is probably the equivalent of 91 stateside gas.....

I don't know if you've noticed how a bunch of Chevrons are now 76 in LA. Clerks at varies locations told me they're still using the same gas just different name.
