I could be a gimmick la... But I'm using it for the 5th consecutive tank now. It really does give a difference.

However, I'm still kinda suspicious. The petrol for V-Power Racing is still blue everytime I pump. Isn't it supposed to be red?

v power racing still using blue color,,

they change their petrol formula, n branding color from blue to red...

99% same like f1 petrol?

then what is the 1%?maybe the left out 1% really give big difference

i want 100% f1 petrol lar...

price still same means same petrol lar...

if rm 3 a litre..maybe got difference..

got cheap thing is not good stuff.
expensive stuff sure good stuff..
kekkeke

who want to go pump normal petrol then go dyno..then pump v power then go dyno again..see what's difference.....

then come tell us lar

u got so much money to dyno? better use to do charity than to waste money to dyno like that. no purpose served also

true true...y u want to dyno test on a petrol ...
lain la if u modify car...juz to see the true power..
*sigh*

i feel the new vpower gives slightly better power, but the most significant difference is how smooth the engine becomes.
as for fuel consumption, there's not much changes in term of l/km, but cents/km increase slightly
will continue to monitor, so far, i pretty much decided on continuing to use it.

Once try the V-power Racing and i dont feel like going back to the Shell Super already ..

Expensive laaa...

Car: Wira 1.3GLI (fuel-injected)

Question:

i) If used for just 1 tank of Shell V-Power for every few months, would it clean some deposits on the first tank? (Non-continous usage)

ii) If have remaining RM 10 (I think it's RM 10 left, less than 1 line before E line) of other regular 97RON (Petronas Primax3), and pump RM 40 (18.6L) of Shell V-Power Racing, it will be diluted slightly right?

iii) How and which part to to check externally whether the engine is cleaner than before? (i.e Check Spark Plugs)
On Shell Australia's V-Power animation, it shows a fuel-injected engine, but if my Nissan is a carb,the fuel is sprayed/mixed in the carburator, hence it theorically means it cleans the carb only right? Or it also cleans other parts along the way.

For my other own car,a Nissan, I've stopped going to Petronas since it caused pinging to my engine at high speeds. Now going for Shell Regular.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

why dont you dynoed it yourself ?

the guys at the dyno center would be crying with laughters

I've used it in both my Swift and X-Trail. And you really get a "spirited" drive with this petrol! Slightly more power definitely. Very tempted to continue using it. Was using F1 synergy on a regular basis before.

will not be expensive if it reli giv more mileage. some cars cant feel the different but most can feel engine smoother and giv better acceleration, hence fuel saving...

i) it can clean the injector or carburetor and the fuel line. but not cleaning your fuel tank of course.

ii)surely will be diluted slightly, so better is to use until the tank really near to empty only pump in V-Power Raing, but is quite of risky if suddenly traffic jam then fuel run out.
so if you want to feel the performance, the 2nd tank of V-Power Racing will give u more different than the 1st tank.

iii)spark plug will become less carbon deposits. fule injector nossle will be cleaner, but u cant see it. for carburetor engine, u can try to monitor the different in the carburetor wall where the nossle is spraying out the fuel, and some of the pipe inside.

if you really want to clear off the deposit in your engine
i dont think the cleaning power of petrol will do it
go for injector cleaning and decarboning

That's true .. it give more mileage compare with the shell super ..

I admit that v power racing give more ummp to my Honda NSR 150RR carburetor bike.

You will easily get to the red line limit if your bike dont have any engine problem.

From my point of view, this V power racing is design to suit the person who like to high rev the engine and engine responsiveness. For normal use, it does give extra km compare to normal rm1.92 per liter petrol, but you will complaint that does it worth with the extra KM that delivered to you.

For me, why i want to use this V power is because i like the power that it give to the engine and the engine feedback to me. Sometime you can't find a lot of thing that can balance with normal stuff. For me, like engine response and communication is important to me, that is the main reason i like to use V power.

If you compare v power fuel efficiency, it will slightly under the fully utilization graph.

The V power, i will recommend to SuperBike, SuperCar, Bike kaki, and for whose who love engine response and communication.

I know...AutoChild is offering RM 50 per injector cleanup, excluding workmanship hours.

what u mean pcdoctor??
how about use 3M Fuel Injector Ceaner, anyone used?? don need pay labour, just pour inside fuel tank and pump full tank fuel.

Heard people said that continuosly using V-Power might cause exhaust system leaking due to their fuel is more corrosive compare to others. I doubt is it really true.

I would highly doubt that as well. Why would a fuel that is suppose to fuel many high performance and expensive engines be more corrosive? Shell would lose billions if this was true.

agree with u too....
they spend so much $$$ to research for this fuel and if they really come out with this kind of corrosive fuel, then better save it....
too get more power for your engine with the fuel, but it is corrosive, i better replace my engine with a more powerful engine then....
