Ive tried them all on my CRX 1.5 dual carb and my current B18c EG Civic and the one that i and my friends have felt an improvement in power, is the 'REDEX 0-60' its a fuel cleaner and an octane BOOST. Mixed with shell V-power or BP Ultimate it takes from 20min to 40min of city driving before it filters through the system. I've used it once every 3 months for 4 years and ALWAYS felt a power increase. You can get it in Halfords £9.99 Make sure it says 'REDEX 0-60' on the bottle. Petrol & diesel.
I kept telling people these products were a waste of money but they wouldn't listen, they are proven to clean fuel injectors sure, but I can't believe any increase in power would be attainable, now you have just proved it. Thankyou
The point of this video is that you can't just buy cheap power for an engine that wasn't meant for it. How many kids waste hundreds of dollars on these products thinking they'll turn their civics into racing cars? To make matters worse, you can just buy premium fuel at the pump that has a higher net benefit than these products, even for HP engines.
I know for a fact that the Wynns says on the bottle that ignition timing may need to be altered to achieve a performance boost. All they are meant to do is raise the octane of your fuel so that you can advance the timing without coming up against detonation/knock/pinging/pre-ignition.

Your using the junkiest engine for this test... You need an engine that is made/better suited for higher octane fuels. You need more compression, if this was put in an engine MADE for higher octane fuels... It would make a huge differance if this were put into a newer, higher performing engine.
Hey who ever made this video,,, make sure u send it to the people that are selling this shit OK,,,, it you are right ,, then I will never see it at the stores again !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
High octane fuels need higher compression ratios to get more power out of them or else in an engine tunes to work on normal unleaded it'll be less powerful.
This is why although ethanol has a much higher octane rating than normal unleaded, it'll gives less power and fuel economy in E80 cars. To squeeze the full power out of an high octane fuel like ethanol, you'll need to increase compression ratios of the engine to almost diesel levels.
or you could take the money you would use to buy that NOS shit and buy a high performance filter replacement at least you would actually gain a couple hp and fuel economy
They didnt bother to test them on a turbocharged or supercharged engine, thats just stupid. The whole point in upping the octane is to reduce the risk of pre-detonation, with these, a force induction engine can run more boost withouth the risk of knock so more air and fuel can go in, which means more power.
Then how come in dyno testing, people always use higher octane fuel and get better results rather than using lower octane fuel. In our country, there is 93 octane fuel and 98 octane fuel. Dyno tests using the 98 octane fuel consistently make higher HP than using 93 octane.
dyno testing isn't dead accurate. you can lean the mixture out or change the air filter and get different results. it's possible that these engines were tuned for higher compression and performance and therefore need high octane. just do a google search on octane. all it means is resistance to detonation. do a little more research and you'll see that it has nothing to do with making extra HP. just like these octane boosters in a bottle. don't waste your money.
a standard car wont be affected positively or negatively by octane booster, whereas a tuned car perfors better using it, tontonpacute was right too. race fuels are 108 octane, so if you tried to put 93 octane in a car that was built for 108 octane it would detonate, or 'Ping' which WILL end in a piston melt down, having a higher octane means you can run your engine leaner without the risk of detonation and THEREFORE get more power. RESULT: if your car isnt tuned for it dont wasnt your money
@tontonpacute Heat efficiency. It improves heat efficiency of the engine...it's a good thing but the manufacturer's also have to deal with spark-knock conditions at that high of compression. Not that easy ;).

Just watched this, no surprise, but there is a product out there that does what it says on the can
BG44K and BG244 not only reduces carbon but improves mph.

Yeah using civic type r with its normally asprirated engine is a reliable test for higher octane number...NOT!

they should test a turbocharged engine. in some cases higher octan raise the power to up to 10-20 hp

Performance orientated engine, so they try it in a Civic Type R. Just wow, that's not even close to performance.

Did the test engine have a knock sensor?
Knock sensor should adjust (advance) the timing when using higher octane fuel.
Instead of running the same ignition timing and just getting incomplete burns.

If your engine isnt set up to run an higher octane fuel the gains are very minimal!

I dont understand, if an additive can boost the octane rating of the fuel that you put into your car, shouldn't it improve HP?
tontonpacute 3 years ago
well i think it may have an affect on the stock parts of the car that can't take the extra power.

octane is the resistance to detonation. it has nothing to do with hp. putting in 93 as opposed to 87 in the tank isn't going to do a thing for you.
