The Scientific Truths Behind Octane Boosters (Performance vs Residual)

- Very few octane boosters actually work. However, for the few that do deliver on their claims, there are risks in using these products. This video briefly explains the similarities and more importantly the differences out there between competing octane boosters.
Incorrect. Boostane as well leaves orange residue.
Absolute fact. This is because it contains MMT.
Watch the video and he says that in the beginning. The orange does nothing. It is the same as having a little black build up like a regular car dumbass. The difference is boostane doesn’t get that shit concentrated on the end of the plug like octanium or torco.. you don’t and won’t foul plugs or anything liek that with boostane. After 10 tanks of octane boosters of boostane pull the plugs and you will see orange but the top looks perfect. Do the same with competitors and you will want to change your plugs as the whole end is built up and gross and the car is already probably not working correctly or idling. Our dyno shop uses it all the time and we have cars with 80k miles using boostane and they run perfect still
what problem in the fuel does boostane correct? Can you prove it? is it documented ? or is this just more MMT snakeoil?
should I be concerned that boostane is why my Check Engine light came on stead on my 4000 miles Porsche 992 (911) that I am running "shots" in every 16 gallon fill up? Does it have an effect on the O2 Sensor?
Probably because of the manganese and magnesium buildup on your O2 sensors. I would not use anything that causes a buildup like that. Pull your O2 sensor and see the reddish residue that boosters leave behind. Take the residue off and feel how gritty it is. That is not good for your cylinders and will cause significant amounts of wear.
100% it is not causing this. It doesn’t build up like competitors. We run it in our brand new Mclaren lol.. they are known to have the most sensitive sensors and computer in the world lol..
Thank you Honda
I honestly have ORANGE on mine I had misfires all cylinder under wot until they been replaced all is peachy
What did you do about the orange plugs? I too have orange plugs after using too much octane booster. Wondering if I can just run premium unleaded and burn that shit off? Thoughts?
@@monstergreen6728 I’m honestly not sure if will come off. Me I ended up changing my cars set up run e85 now. But I would just keep a eye on them and buy spares just as a just in case. Unless your car is knocking then I say change now.
@@GR_Papi how many times did u use it for that to happen ?
@@youngrios 4 to 6 months or so I was using boostane professional.
@@youngrios less then 15k miles before I seen orange and eventually went a different route with the car
Can it be added in Avgas to replace race fuel?
WAS THAT TORCO?
NO IT WASNT
OR WAS IT?
People seem to think an octane booster will give their standard engine more power. I use octane booster because my high compression sprint engine wont run properly on pump fuel, it knocks so bad it sounds like the big end is on it's way out. Octane booster lets me rev it right out with no knocking. The tin alloy catalyst blocks do absolutely nothing though.
Exactly.. this stuff is only
Made for engines that have high compression and are tuned to run 95+ octane. Or for cars with variable/adaptive timing. Lots of fords use this. Mustangs are the most popular on. Mustangs can add 8-10 degrees of timing from 91/93 octane to 97-99 octane. Gen 3 mustangs agave crazy high compression ratios and love high octane fuel as they can use it to add timing and not knock. Stock they get knock and lower timing and then it stays there
if only use 2-3 tanks a year, should one be worried ? or no big deal or just avoid it and run 94 octane in my Stinger for max. performance at the drag strip ? I haven't used any yet and iffy on it
Boostane is good. When you are not running boostane run mmo to keep the plugs cleaned
Thoughts? I've used too much octane booster with MMT in it and it turned all of my plugs orange? I'm assuming the top of the pistons and the bottom of the valves too, all orange. Let me know if I can just run premium unleaded here in CA and will this shit all burn off?? Or did I harm my motor??
That is manganese and magnesium and if you flake it off your plugs and it feels gritty, what do you think it does to your cylinder walls? Yes your whole combustion chamber is now contaminated with grit. Just stop using it and let it clean up or use a product without magnesium and manganese to increase octane. I've had people tell me that the grit is a different compound and won't hurt your cylinders. I told them that I don't care what it is, if I can flake it off and it is gritty, then I don't want it in my cylinders. (But it is manganese and magnesium)
@@thegrmcrckr488 Is there any way to clean that orange residue by using proper gas or any detergents? Thanks for your help.
Wrong.. using regular gas causes black Build up.. boostane it’s orange ish. Peel either off and they feel the same. This guy telling you this is an idiot. It’s like adding a ceretec like product in your oil. It costs everything in similar chemicals. Use the right amount. Once a year run a tank of 110 if your scared and that will burn off some of the orange on anything. It will cause an excessive yellowish orange color also though afterwards. Everything that burns has a residue.. race gas is yellow or orange, regular gas is black, e95 is yellowish also. Boostane is orange.
I've been researching octane boosters. I am in a no corn zone and I always thought "that aisle" of the auto store was nonsense, but then read some positive reviews of a couple of products on Subie groups.... but performance Subies aren't exactly known to be long living cars, especially when you start to push them, so I don't think they are the best source of valid info on the long term effects.
Now I read about MMT and fouled this and that.
Just curious: what part of the snake are these suspension emulsifier chemicals made from?
Great question. Would love answers from these guys and VP racing
The video mentioned that some of the additives settles at the bottom so I'm wondering you put this in your tank repeatedly, eventually over time that sediments builds up and if you run your car close to empty on occasion, it'll just suck up that crap and coat your plugs. So if you do use this stuff, maybe don't let it run below 1/8 - 1/4 tank and maybe flushing out your fuel tank from time to time would prevent this from occurring? I"m no expert just thought this might be a potential reason and would like to get other's opinion.
With competitions this is exactly what happens. That’s why boostane made their own.
*Why do you need a cartoonist for this ad? Just show us the results.*
Well I have been using this product for the last three weeks my spark plugs are completely brownish ..,
So is this safe to use every tank? Will it eventually build in catalitic converters? Will we have to change plugs early?
MMT will not clog your CATS.... I use it and I mix it to 103 octane to increase performance in my daily drive 06 Mustang some performance add ons
dustingaldeano it does clog catalytic converter, my exhaust broke off so i had to replace it and that’s when i realize that it was plugged. However it only plugged the holes close to the outer, the core of the catalytic converter was not plugged at all. But weirdly when I touched the holes where it was plugged and smeared it I noticed that I plugged more holes just by doing that.
I just seen a video of a guy with boostane had full orange spark plugs after just 3 tanks. 🤷♂️
All balah balah
Yeah I’m pretty sure boostane also leaves the orange residue… it’s been seen by users on UA-cam
Octane boosters have either some mmt or lead to raise there octane
Pardon my ignorance, what's MMT?
OK......yes.........the real question is what is plug like on a turbo car like a GTR ............what is the life of an oxy. sensor.....Can these be cleaned by run 2x tanks of 100 octane gas ???
This doesn’t do anything to o2 sensors. Plugs it cuts the life in half same as running race gas or e85.. 15-20k change plugs vs most are 30-35k To change plugs stock. 100 octane creates the same orange residue.. race fuel has MMT in it lol.. unless your using a shitty leaded race fuel and if you are that uses lead of course which coats the plugs in silver instead of orange. Pull a plug on an engine running 116 and look how weird the plugs look. They are bronze or orange
I looking for booster without MMT
Let us know when you find it lol… this is the only way to have a product that works. Buy boostane as it’s the only one that doesn’t accumulate if you let it sit.
I have tried many octane boosters, non of them worked, can I expect Boostane to be any different?
TheHalloweenmasks It works I’m not going to lie it does but you definitely will need to change your spark plugs eventually I had to change mine twice . running it in a boosted application car fox mustang 10 pounds of boost I can feel a little something something but not as good as race gas I use 109VP and 105 I believe it was Sunoco definitely better than a little additive Bottle
My friend pulled his spark plugs and he uses bustane. Guess what? Orange...
Carbon Build UP is a problem too
Mine ORANGE too 🤔
Spar plugs where completely orange 🍊. stick with race fuel ⛽️
got the initials right BS Boo Stane.
This crap contains MMT. Coat your plugs and combustion chamber orange. Stick with real deal race. Octane boosters are a band aid.
maximus vonce 💯% right my man
Klotz does not contain MMT either.
It contains lead
Has lead though
@@scottmcgehee2933 E85 is my friend.
False, Boostane turned my teeth orange
Lies
Run a bottle of boostane then check your plugs. They’ll be orange. 😂 save your money for actual mods not “horsepower” in a bottle.
Boostane is the worst 😂 "not turning orange" my ass
This crap contains MMT. Coat your plugs and combustion chamber orange. Stick with real deal race gas. Octane boosters are a band aid
That's OK, the orange is what give you the more power..
I hope you did your research all racing gas has MMT
maximus vonce race gas does the same thing. Boostane doesn’t leave the plugs orange like other boosters.
@@123nova87 First hand proof? I mean have you seen the plugs after running it awhile?
Steven Kaspick yea I use it all the time. Does not leave the orange residue.
