Alright so my buddy suggested that since I'm not going to be daily driving my 92 sc300 when I get it and that I only live 15 min away from an airport where I can get aviation fuel at a pump for $4 a gallon that is 120 octane and burns cleaner and colder than e85 that I should do this. Now ik it's not always going to be available for me if I'm out and am low on fuel. I would like to get an extra like 5-10 gallon fuel cell and put that in my trunk just to help with that issue or should I just order a 55 gallon drum of 120 octane race fuel which is the same thing as aviation fuel. My question is that how much colder would it run than e85 since the 2jz-ge is a closed deck block and heat soaks like a **** would this help and I'll definitely have a way better than stock radiator as well to help with that too

 

I am surprised your buddy didn't tell you that the car will fly away if you put aviation fuel in it.

 

Joebro, are you referring to C-16 aviation fuel? That's some pricey stuff. Heavily leaded too. Some dedicated drag cars are set up to run on it, a good handful of cars like those being heavily modified 2JZ powered vehicles, but it's a pretty extreme fuel when 105 octane E85 can be had much more easily depending on your location. Though pricey, even getting some drums of VP Racing VP100 unleaded 100 octane race gas would probably be easier. E85 is still considered the best bang for the buck high octane fuel for a big horsepower build. Maybe that plus a tightly calibrated combination of methanol injection to go with it.

 

thanks man I really appreciate it. Ummm I’m not sure what type of aviation fuel it is but I was told it was 120 octane. I might have to go see what the pump looks like and see what type of fuel it is and if it’s leaded or not I’ll lyk what it is

 

Now we laugh but if one were to add the right aerodynamics and a very stiff wing structure, flaps and a seriously huge (for a car) rudder-infused tail spoiler you could probably go further than what this guy did with his New Beetle and run it on C16


I'm kidding of course But yeah, outside of the fully dedicated track drag car world C16 or C12 aviation fuel is a little extreme when 100 octane car race fuels and E85 are much easier to obtain (and in the case of E85 much more affordable if any gas stations near you have it).
