Just curious as to others success/failure stories of aftermarket kits for an XB12R. so it can help me decide which company's products i should head toward or stay away from. And also quality or service and follow up service/support. Peoples personal experience/stories would be great. I'm thinking a 1250 and some headwork stock cams and no idea about the tuning as yet, is there a product i can do myself by adding air/fuel ratio sensors or maybe ecm spy...... My bike is more of a daily rider with some nice weekend rides so after good usuable power accross the rev range not just peaky power. OPINIONS? | ||

and one more thing. being in Oz have good selection of octane fuels. 95 95 98 which i usually use and 101 also but OMG is it expensive. also available is 95 and 98 with 10% ethanol...I use 98+ethanol in my WRX with good results. figure the different fuels available are more suited to higher compressions.... OPINIONS? | ||

just to chime in on the fuel subject, 98 isn't really necessary even in your WRX (unless your running some pretty aggressive boost and tune profiles) I have a Talon TSi and im running 20 PSI and its tuned to about 11.8-12.3 A/F Ratio and I run 93 octane (and have for about a year and a half without issue) this is also the only gas I run in my 12R Another thing, I am EXTREMELY anti-ethanol, run a tank of ethanol gas through your car and take the fuel mileage, then run a tank of the good shit (non ethanol) and check your gas mileage, I GUARANTEE you get about 2-5 MPG's better than you do with the Ethanol BS |
