I use Costco gas

almost exclusively...on occasion, Shell if I can't conveniently get to Costco.

I'm just curious if we'll see any trends.

My car was tuned on Shell (Kapolei, behind Jack in the Box), but I almost exclusively run Tesoro (Military Base Gas).

similar setups VF39 vs VF34 on 2.0L

Stacey (wrxgrl) -blue line
IHI VF39 Turbo
STi Pink 565cc Injectors
Walbro 255lph Fuel Pump
NGK Iridium 1-step colder plugs
Blitz SUS Intake
Helix Uppipe
Helix Catless Downpipe
Helix Catback
Cusco turbo heatshield
STi TMIC
Cobb V1 Accessport (Protuned by Jarrad from PDX Tuning)
Blitz Street Spec Boost Controller


Mike (austinp02) - red line
VF34
deatchwerks cobb spec (allegedly) 565cc/min injectors (all flow tested higher)
walbro 255lph fuel pump
HKS carbon ti 3in turboback
unknown 3in catless downpipe
unknown catless uppipe
K&N Typhoon short ram intake
NGK irridiums
sti top mount
Accessport


This is probably the first time I've seen on dyno charts the difference between the VF34 and the VF39
it equates to about a 200-300 rpm difference in spool to achieving full boost, but the peak HP and TQ numbers are nearly the same (3-4 off from one another). Very nice both of you. Congrats on the beautiful numbers and I'm sure you will join me in thanking Jarrad for the awesome tunes on both of your cars.

Ya I am definitly very pleased, Jarrad came through with exactly what i asked for in the tune. I told him I wanted to focus on torque and quick spool up with a smooth curve and everything else was cake. he obviously did just that. i was a bit dissapointed with the vf34 when i put it in with the cobb ots map as it was spiky and had a lot of lag, it wouldnt even start spooling till after 3k rpm and then had mad boost spike. now it is buttery smooth and spools only about 2-300rpm after the stock turbo but pulls very hard all the way to redline with no sign of falloff. the funny thing is, I've only drivin about a 1/4 tank since the tune but im pretty sure i'm getting better gas mileage than with my stage 2 or even stage 1 setups. I'll post up the mileage results of my next full tank under my normal driving conditions, but either way +100 for Jarrad.

On the previous tune (330whp/360wtq on Tessoro gas) I was running the APS 65mm CAI, Greddy MBC, and no water/meth injection. Im not sure why the torque went down so much on this last tune 328wtq vs. 360wtq. I think it has to due with the tuning. But on a positive note the car pulls much harder and faster now than it did after the first tune. I'm not sure why it feels so much better now because the peak numbers are very similar. I'll have to attribute it to the DTEC and Jarrads ability to tune it.


Wasssup, Steve

Great list of Mods and I must say. Your car is awesome & always been. since I ran a 12.97 that car was right on my @szz in the track, You know what im tlking about.
Your dyno videos, your car was 1 of the most impresive Ive seen by far.


Keep it up..bro

Jose

i know gas may be gas either way you look at it but from what i understand from a friend who works at tesoro is that they are the only gas company that is completely dependent on middle eastern oil in hawaii which is trippy to me cause i see tesoro on american military bases shouldnt we depend on our own oil or at least the oil from indo and canada??? not the middle east?? thats probably a whole different thread............i usually run chevron or union 76 havent tried running shell in my car yet is there really a difference???

Very interesting point, but maybe a little skewed...
http://www.tsocorp.com/tsocorp/Produ...HawaiiRefinery

"Feedstocks: Crude oils sourced primarily from the Middle East, Australia and Southeast Asia",

although your friend may be more correct that Middle East crude may be the "largest source",... I do see the point of the question though... but then ... i'm a conspiracy enthusiast most days... not that surprised that military bases would be using middle east gas...

Last data I have reference to:
Chevron refinery supplies: Chevron, Shell, Texaco (merged with Chevron)
Tesoro refinery supplies: Tesoro, Aloha (who supplied Costco - uknown if still the case), 76 (previously supplied by Kauai Petroleum)

Canada has 10x the amount of oil under their frozen tundra than the entire middle east.
Also, yes gas does make a difference. Many members have posted problems with chevron and others. Ask shaggy, he was one of them. I exclusively use shell 92 octane in all my subies. It probably boils down to personal preference, but i love shell, and don't see switching anytime soon. I believe that most guys on this forum use it also, there were several polls posted on this subject in the past.
