Hey Brendan, its Scotty here (green EL DEV5), congrats on the time machine figures. Awesome!!!
Anyways starting this thread as im interested in your thoughts on the martini racing products. I read your website and saw that your falcon was utilising these products for your dyno run of 591hp. Do you think that these products helped to achieve this? Even if only marginally as opposed to standard oils etc.. Are such products specifically aimed at high horse power cars? Obviously 110 octane fuel isnt for your standard street car but as far as engine oil, coolant, trans fluid and super lube(?) goes would these suit say your DEV5 applications with any noticeable gains? I have spoken with Tony from Martini and he said that i could be looking at a 10kw gain just by using the mentioned above. Any respose would be great!! thanks..... |

Hi Scotty, Yes the Martini producs are good when used for the right applications. A Understanding of racing fuels has always led the unwise to loose more than just money by buying the wrong products.
The Time machine was using the 110 fuel and I am prepared to say it didn't suit the engine at all, we used it for testing and for adelaide and finished it there. We are now testing the another Martini Fuel and have achieved better results than the 110 fuel did in our car. Simply because the fuel suits the engine better. We are the West side distributors for Martini and are glad to help with prices and information as well as recomending a package to be used. Currently the best combination for the RED Rocket has been the Martini Octane Booster and premium unleaded. We have seen better times, more power and cleaner emissions from the little red rocket. Next to that we tried the Martini oil treatment and it seems to have smoothed the high reving engines temprement out. For a DEV Series engine with under 10:1 compression I would seriously suggest the Martini Oil Treatment and the Octane Booster. DONT FORGET TO READ THE INSTRUCTIONS for using the stuff thats where most people go wrong. We have not tried and tested the martini oils or coolants yet. Keep in mind the Coolant should be used for racing only as it has no true Anti rust inhibitor in it.
