Well, my 101 unleaded 55 gallon drum arrived today, only problem is that it's 111 leaded LOL. So, other than my WB O2 any down sides to the leaded fuel? I'll probably put the WB in my Supra(daily driver), and buy a TE 2.0 for the RX7. That way I have a 50.00 sensor, instead of a 150.00 sensor to replace. Anyone have solid real world experience on the longevity of the L1H1 sensor with leaded fuel? So what kind of boost can I run w/ the Aquamist 2D, and 111 octane with 11.5 plugs(moohoo hoo ha ha ha)? I'm thinking with the way my luck has been lately, hanging onto the 111 is not a terrible idea, so what do you all think?

 

What brand w/g do you have? I remember when I opened the box to my Tials, there was a note attached to the w/g's stating not to use them with leaded fuel.

Which Tial wastegate do you have? I got mine it's a 46mm with no such warning.

 

How much did it costs all together? Im thinking a big drum of race fuel isnt a bad idea.

 

I run HKS wastegates, they fear nothing 54 gallons was ~350.00 including the drum deposit. That's in california. A good pump is another ~100.00 although you can just siphon or something. You need a place to put it other than your garage, which is not Ok due to pilot lights, cars etc. Remember Cali= expensive gas. I guess no real objections?

 

What brand of fuel did you Buy?

 

I am very interested in buying a drum of racing fuel also. Any details about it would be greatly appreciated.

 

I'm running dual 38mm Tial w/g's. All I know is that mine came with a warning. If I was you, i'd probably call Tial to double check before you decide to run leaded fuel.

Summit and Jegs *might* sell it also. I'm not really sure. You can also try google to find more stores that carry drums.

Just look up fuel in the yellow pages, call your local supplier, they deliver it plus a deposit, simple. Dom not buy mail order, they are only calling the local company for you, and charging you ~50.00 so you do not have to dial 411 The fuel is Chevron Race Tek

 

I can get anyone a drum of it, torco race fuel!

 

For how much?


I can buy 110 for $5/gal and 119 for $5.50/gal from a local gas station thats 5 minutes from my house lol

 

ive run the boshe wideband sensors in leaded fuel cars for many many miles. they do eventually burn up, but i doubt one 55 gallon drum would see the end of it.

 

i heard that after running leaded if you run a couple tanks of unleaded your sensor will come back to life if it wasnt totally dead. like it will get slow and shitty first.

 

you can be our guinea pig and tell us if the rx7 can run on leaded fuel without an OMP or premix.

 

dave likes leaded
