I just read a closed topic on oil is it good or bad and such.....

Is Royal Purple good for raising hp?

You're kidding right ............... ????

Oh wait!!! I see you have a turbo timer. You must not be kidding .

No synthetic oil will provide a measureable hp gain, above another synthetic, or any significant gain over conventional oil.

I run royal purple. No hp diffrence just by feel but the temps aren't as high as when I ran 20w50 vr1

I know it's bull **** but it claims to raise it i never claimed that it did. I was mainly looking to make sure that it wasnt bad for the car.

they have a good FAQ on their website about using their products in a rotary. i'll save you the time and just say that their synth oil and 2-cycle pre-mix are supposed to be just fine for our cars.

you can always just use a good conventional like castrol gtx and put that money somewhere useful.

I spoke in detail with one of the head engineers at RP once. He's a diehard rotorhead, and a few years back RP worked with Racing Beat and they found a couple percent HP gain on the engine dyno with some N/A race engines used by Racing Beat. Whether that applies to your engine is very hard to say, but at a maximum you might can a couple HP.

If you want to gain HP, stick to the racing single-grade oils. The multi-viscosity oils used in consumer cars make some compromises to improve fuel economy and emissions rather than protection and power gain. This engineer claimed he uses only RP 30w oil for his FDs and daily drivers.

Now whether RP would be an advantage over other synthetics is less likely.

There is an article in the latest Hot Rod I believe where they compared Mobile 1 vs Royal Purple. The Royal Purple made 4 more hp.

You should have waited a bit before getting out the pass me down joke book your gramps hid under is easy chair

Now that's an article I'd like to see. To add some info to this I can't say if RP increases HP but it is possible. Less friction OR less heat will give you more power. Does RP do one or both of these things and compared to which other brands... I don't know. Racing Beat is also a very reputable company though and I'd trust their tests. However results will always vary depending on the car and other variables.

Personally I do use Royal Purple.

Fast Fours and Rotaries did a comparison test once and said AMSOIL made the most horsepower if I recall correctly.

Why do you think it was closed genius???? Because there are a gazillion threads about this exact same topic. Do a little reading before opening yet another redundant thread......

I'm shocked that this thread hasn't been closed already.

rynberg

Why in the hell have we had nearly 10 oil threads in the last two days?

I left it open because of the specific hp-claim Royal Purple makes. Any further veering into synthetic vs dino and it will be closed.

Please when you go to open your mouth just remember that your always wrong and you should think to yourself and say someone smart will answer that. Please just sit back and absorb if your not interested just keep your dick skiners off of the mouse and dont click on this topic.......

Why are you ragging on Rynberg when he's trying to help you? We get tons of "what oil" threads, that are usually closed pretty quick. He didn't close this one just so "we" could hear what people had to say about RP and HP...

gainer_reniag

First off he was ragging on me right off the bat with his turbo timer comment then if you look he was counterdicted everytime no disrespect to you this is just becoming an arguement mind your bees Nas

Back to the topic this oil is known for cooling down the motor so i guess you could gain hp. I had heard some horror stories about oil or coolant jacking up 13B's

Kento

Now that you've opened yours for far too long and demonstrated your lack of intelligence, you won't be able to click on this thread for much longer.

IBTL.

Kento

That was Adam C, not rynberg...

"Cooling down the motor"? If you did some research, you wouldn't have to depend on hearsay and rumors.

Rynberg didn't rag you about your turbo timer, Adam C did. You must have gotten them confused or confused about which person Yuichiror was referring to.

Either way, just check out www.racingbeat.com or hopefully this link will work and you can decide if you believe them or not. Go to the oil system page of the car and then click on the weight and read their information.

Thanks tim

These guys are vicious on here damn so soon to jugde and be rude Im a noob at this forum and I read on here as much as i can to learn more about my car and how it works. If you cant help me or give info on the topic that is at hand please dont reply with dumbass remarks

Thanks

gainer_reniag

Im sorry im a noob on here and might ask what you might think are stupid questions. A person who knows as much as you about these cars should't click on topics that could waste any room in your brain for useless knowledge like this.

Kento

I wasn't referring to your "stupid question", I was referring to your "witty" remarks to people like rynberg who have a long history of trying to help.

So then...referring to the topic:

There are far too many variables involved with each engine and dyno testing to be able to claim that such incremental power gains (4 hp compared against several hundred is what I would term incremental) are specifically resulting from the oil. Will you gain hp by switching from dino to synthetic? Quite possibly (but again, incremental), judging from a lot of the testing I've seen. Is RP superior enough to other full synthetic oils that you'll gain a significant amount of hp over others? Extremely doubtful.

Many oil companies are now packing their websites with "advertorial" designed to wow the viewer into thinking that the "evidence is overwhelming" that their oil is better. And with all due respect to Racing Beat, just linking to RP's website without showing any dyno graphs and/or specifics of the testing upon which they base their claims is kind of weak.

At one time, there was a dyno sheet of RB's test of the oil adding hp across the rev range. That was what I was originally hoping to find, but instead could only find what is on there now.
