Shell V-Power Nitro+

[Cam]

Just checked my email and saw this!

Random i only filled up 2 days ago! Didnt see nothing about it.

V-Power is already 146.9, this stuff is going to be 170.9 :homme:

Copied from Shells website

After months of extensive testing, we have created a performance fuel to help your car achieve its performance potential. Developed with Scuderia Ferrari, this new formulation is designed to instantly get to work in your engine on deposits which can reduce performance. We have also increased the friction modifier content by 25%*. The friction modifier is designed to reduce friction in critical engine areas, helping to deliver more power to the wheels. Put simply, this is Ferrari's choice for improved performance.

Shell V-Power Nitro+ Unleaded Benefits

Protecting Cylinder Walls – Our Friction Modification Technology is designed to instantly reduce friction between the piston assembly and cylinder wall by coating them with a protective film.

Cleaner Intake Valves and Fuel Injectors – Designed to prevent and clean up deposits that can affect performance. Shell V-Power Nitro+ contains special additives to help stop performance-robbing deposits from building up around the intake valves and fuel injectors.

In comparison to our previous Shell V-Power Unleaded, we have rebalanced the formulation to contain 25% more Friction Modification Technology (FMT). This technology has been tested with Ferrari as part of our long standing technical partnership, and is designed to instantly reduce friction in critical engine areas and thereby help the engine to deliver more power to the wheels.

Sounds awesome! Probably not worth it in my VTR though :p And £1.70!?

[Cam]

I was joking about the £1.70 :homme:
Sure it wont be cheap though

[jasonmayall]

Petrol in its own right is a great cleaner though?

[Yates]

Il keep my eyes open I notice massive difference using v power or momentum 99

[chazdear14]

I drive a Corsa VXR and using Tesco's momentum 99 i too notice a massive difference, so depending on the price could give this a try.

[L888]

Ah.. it's too early for me :bored:

[dontpannic]

If your car isn't mapped for it, you'll see no difference whatsoever with using higher RON fuels. Fact.

Get your car remapped to work with 97/99RON fuel and you'll see a difference in using it.

I'm currently using regular V-Power in my ST - it's not mapped for it, there's no performance increase and the MPG increase isn't worth the extra cash, I only fill it with V-Power because I'm a chav and the Milltek decat sounds better on overrun :P

[12u55]

I wander if it'll be as good as that stuff you can get near the Ring. (octane wise)
Nitro, does that mean my car will have NOS?
:P

Not really a fact....

My standard MK5 Ibiza Cupra suffered from engine pinking/piston slap using regular 97RON.
Boosted higher performance cars should use higher octane for a faster burn.

[m4tt274]

3plug ecus can tell the difference, not sure the effect though.

[Gandi699]

I go on what Renault recommend, or "recommand".
Says 98 so I put vpower or tescos 99 in, i'm sure the pros and cons of this stuff will be all over the internet when it comes out

[L33h]

I might put some in the bike and see if its any good. Doubt it tho

[Manu]

What a load of bollocks. Instead of working with mafiararri they'd better focus with the governement on additives reducing 25% of wallet friction.

again not really a fact. I notice a massive difference in my car with it. What st is it?

[Yates]

Actually just seen its a fiesta lol, it makes a difference to performance cars. Not under powered cars.

[12u55]

Out of super unleaded stuff, I get much better MPG, on normal 95 stuff I get between 40-50mpg
97+stuff I get a good 50 more miles out of a full tank.

[Mochachino]

I might give this stuff a go if I see it about. Ive never used the normal fuel only ever VPower with it being an import!

again not really a fact. I notice a massive difference in my car with it. What st is it?

Not even down to noticing, its a fact that the ECUs even in a mk2 saxo is capable of adjusting for the higher ron fuel!

[Yates]

Danny try momentum 99 from Tesco, noticed a big difference.

He drives a st fiesta, a mk2 vts is a better car

[Mochachino]

Il give it a go, I went for a drive once to try and find some when I had the integra but couldnt even find a tesco that had it! Had a look on their site and the nearest one is miles away in an area I never go to. Il give it a ago though!

Do BP still do that really high ron fuel? That was at like 16 garages nationwide irc.

lol I agree a mk2 VTS is better than the heavy, boat, lazy Fiesta ST :p

[Yates]

Not sure I've used there ultimate before, didn't notice much. I got caught out when my shell garage was closed and had to put Ron 95 in, from that I went to momentum 99 and the difference was massive.

[Anderz]

I saw this the other day but il stick to v power it's dear enough, only use cos my cars mapped for the higher stuff, although I seem to get more miles from v power than I do from the tesco stuff unless that's just me?! :homme:

[Gandi699]

I get that too, its not a massive difference but the tesco 99 compared to vpower gives marginally less mpg and thats keeping roughly the same driving style each day to work etc

[Manu]

I get slightly more mileage on Vpower but the price difference is 10p, just not worth it.

[wadoryu]

It's supposed to be the same price as vpower :y:

[devilsadvocate]

Used to put Vpower in the Clio but don't bother with the BMW.

[Jazz]

Only use v-power in my M3, mainly to collect points. Might give this new one a go but only if the price is similar, already getting raped for fuel costs.

[L33h]

I dont think a higher octane petrol would do anything to a saxo lol. Unless it was silly bhp

Pmsl... :P



Sure V-power is 1.66. I picked it up by mistake in Total petrol station few weeks ago and nearly shat (worn text on fuel pump). then picked up the standard fuel.

If anything it will be more then V-power imo. I'd like to run a 1 full tank with it but i cba to pay it.

[Gandi699]

You picked up Vpower in a Total petrol station? Thats good going :drink:

[Prickle]

Haaaaa. I did say worn text so assumed with it being expensive it was vpower.. twas 1.66 either way.

I dont go to Total often, only if Asda is shut.

[Gandi699]

All the total garages by me have been bought by Shell, not complaining one bit at that mind as I had to travel out of my way to get it beforehand.
Saxo generally gets the cheapest 95 going though

[Yates]

One shell garage in darlo, no Tesco. Sucks

[Jamie]

I get better fuel consumption from V power and notice a decent difference in performance, I only ever use V power unless I can't fill up @ shell.

On my ST I had it RR'd @ 280.3 on Tescos fuel and the next RR @ same place on V power just later in the year got a smidge under 300. I'm not saying I gained 20 bhp from V power maybe my engine just opened up more but it certainly makes a difference. I don't have the graphs for both readings to post up unfortunately.

[welshpug]

Its just a re-branding and a slightly different recipe, nothing that much different.

[Yates]

I will have soon Jamie, well when I get round to it

[Prickle]

Seen this on my newsfeed.

£30 Nitro gets you;

[Jamie]

I will have soon Jamie, well when I get round to it

Cool bro look forward to seeing your findings :)

I literally have always believed in the higher octane fuels being better for performance on performance cars. I do believe on eco cars ect because of the way they're set up they won't really benefit from it performance wise but will keep the block cleaner.

[Gandi699]

the thing is though it all depends on what people class as "performance", even though I use the 97/99 ron I bet it actually does fuck all in the car i have

[Tommo87]

You never know we may get this up north on the next few years.

[Jungle]

It is just the new name for a slightly new mix of V-Power, not some kind of super fuel like everyone makes out, still 99 RON. It is not a case of trying it compared to V-Power, anyone who runs V-Power will now have to run V-Power nitro + as it is just the new name for it, just a rebranding by Shell.

As for people saying tesco 99 is better, one thing to consider is V-Power is a true 99 RON, tesco 99 is 97 with additives to boost the RON, V-Power is the better fuel IMO.

I highly doubt anyone see's any real difference on a normal saxo/106 though, mine is mapped to V-Power so we can run more timing, but I wouldn't bother on a standard item.

Them fuel prices in the vid!!.......makes you cry when you look at what you pay now

[RobVT]

my ibiza has an adaptive ecu and runs both, runs alot better on 99 though.

[dontpannic]

Yada yada, slow ST... Snore snore heard it all before, not really interested. Bought it for the overall driving feel, looks and reliability, not the speed. Not that it's a slouch, it was never marketed as a hot hatch so why people compare them to a Saxo VTS or Corsa VXR is beyond me. Why my owning an ST means I can't have knowledge of 'performance' fuels surpasses me...

It is a fact that cars run on 97RON fuel which haven't been specifically mapped for it (I.e. majority of normal dailies, yes, including the VTS...) or manufacturers specifications show that you should run on 97+ RON. Yes, the ECU's can adjust to it (using the knock sensor), but it gives no performance boost (not noticeable). Cars sold in Europe are optimised for 95 RON or thereabouts. This is the most widespread unleaded fuel and means you can safely fill up anywhere and the car will run.

Fifth Gear tested it, there have been many many more independent tests by reputable motoring bodies which have all shown the same thing. Any BHP changes are marginal, and Vpower comes out on top, BUT, the results of the tests show that the MPG and performance increases are not worth the 7-10p per litre difference in the price.

By the way - the VTS is a 'faster' car - not a 'better' car, by any means. I can lower the ST without fear of the trailing arms going and needing either a replacement axel or the car to be scrapped!! (I should know, I own both, and I won't be using the Sax as a daily!)

[Harv]

It actually works out cheaper for me to buy Tesco momentum 99 to other 95 RON fuels. My Civic averages better MPG and definitely feels more responsive when filled with 99 RON. At the moment I'm running a cold air map on my Kpro which is mapped in America, I think their equivalent of 95 is 99 over here.

[dontpannic]

You're a perfect example - your civic is mapped for it.

[Yates]

Yeah people use a shit car for a daily...

you said it makes no difference on your car, well like you said yeah it doesn't on small cars. You based your first fact on how you get on in the festa, hence why im laughing at you. Now I went to get my car serviced, decided on a power run shit thing was needed a remap, but fuel I had was 95 Ron, on way there the shell garage was closed and I needed fuel, he's mapped it and said that it has 95 in, without me saying, says il get over 400 or round with v power, so we will see difference. See if it backs up what you say that it makes no real difference.

[Yates]

Mines not mapped on it and it makes a difference

[dontpannic]

Rolling road printout / mpg figures?

Placebo effects do apply to fuel too.

[dontpannic]

Yeah people use a shit car for a daily...

Who said what was a shit car?

you said it makes no difference on your car, well like you said yeah it doesn't on small cars. You based your first fact on how you get on in the festa, hence why im laughing at you.

See if it backs up what you say that it makes no real difference.

If you're expecting 400bhp from a car it will probably make a slight difference as its not a daily runaround motor (like the Vts).

If you're getting it mapped, then you're just doing exactly what I said about performance fuels...

Not sure I get where you're coming from, apart from being a bit of a dick about people's choice of car.

[Yates]

You said you wouldn't use a sax as a daily. Everyone uses a shitter as a daily if they have two cars.

My point is, same spec you get better results from v power. My car hasn't changed at all other tha fuel so we will see.

You came and said makes no difference fact, then say it makes minimal, so changed already.

Only said your cars shit

[dontpannic]

Let me clarify. Although you may see one or two HP difference, it'll make no difference in everyday driving.

How's that? Is that clear enough for you?

Obviously if you're running near 400bhp then it's not a run of the mill motor so will probably benefit a bit more, but I don't know what you drive so I can't tell you.

Re: Sax as daily - I'm using the Saxo as a track car - it was a cheap motor which I can rag around while I still have the Fiesta as my daily (full interior, comfortable, bigger etc).

At the end of the day we all have opinions about other cars but you're a bit of a penis to come out and say my cars shit, when you only disagree with my point of view on a type of fucking petrol. That's a bit lame, dude. I've not once criticised any other car.

[0rang3peel]

I put v power in my 1.8d speed mobile the other day, I think it increased the bhp from 16 to around 18.

all the other pumps were closed so I had to lol.

[Yates]

It does make a difference. Like said il have car mapped to it soon, and see if there is, tuner says should get 20bhp more purely by changing fuel. That's a good difference in anyones eyes.

you drive a fiesta, it is shit, if I drove one id say its shit too. because it is.

Look at your first post, going on saying its a fact U see no change, then go on about how your st it makes no difference. But then say later on it will.

[dontpannic]

Can't believe anyone can be so fucking ignorant. Nice one.

[Tommo87]

V-power was 98RON the new V-power Nitro+ is 99RON.

[Manu]

in other news, the fuel sales are at their lowest since fuck knows when. And the barrel price has dropped to $90.

[MJ05LLY]

Ive just filled up with some of this.
Has it made a difference. Couldn't tell on drive home. Doubt ill see much difference. Was £1.40 I believe so cheaper than I expected. Woman in garage said old V Power was 98 ron, but am sure it was 99.

Off on a blast to Nottingham now, so I can find out if my car thinks any difference of this new juice.

[0rang3peel]

Can't believe anyone can be so fucking ignorant. Nice one.

he's right though, it is shit LOL

I'm jeremy wade and today I've laid the bait for the river monster dontpannic

[Yates]

Can't believe anyone can be so fucking ignorant. Nice one.

100% i notice a difference when having 95 then going to 99, tuner who does my car said there is a big difference, my cars not mapped to 99/v power, not all cars as you have said, but you have said for a fact that if your cars not mapped to it, you will have no difference, but its not a fact and you are wrong, you are so fucking ignorant to that.

[dontpannic]

Whatever. You should have seen the video posted up there, seen the independent tests, etc. Believe what you want to believe.

No need to start calling my car shit though - so immature.

[Yates]

fiesta STs are shit, nothing immature about that, im not saying just yours is shit, the whole range of them are, like said id i owned one i wouldnt shout about it.

I notice that when you started talking bout it you refer to it as an ST, hoping people think you have a focus ;)

[dontpannic]

Not even going to rise to it. It's a fucking car. True it's a bit underpowered but its the only downside. Build quality is great, totally reliable, nippy, and looks good. That's all that matters.

Just because its not as fast as its competitors doesn't make it shit.

Oh - pro tip - I call it an ST because its an ST. No other reason.

Though I bet the Focus ST is shit too because the Megane is quicker, eh?

[dontpannic]

It's worth noting I haven't driven my MK2 VTS on the road yet (lack of MOT), and I'm sure it's probably quicker than the Fiesta - that's why I'm using it as the track car ;)

[Prickle]

Though I bet the Focus ST is shit too because the Megane is quicker, eh?

Oh thats it now. You will set Jamie off :homme:

[dontpannic]

Rofl! Probably shouldn't have said that hehe.

I guess we'll agree to disagree eh?

[MJ05LLY]

Well this new stuff pops and bangs like the old stuff.
My 40 mile test has concluded that my car still like to drink it just as much.

My car is mapped to 97 Ron petrol but I can def tell when I have 95 stuff in. Feels really weird and sluggish. So much so that I try my best to avoid it. I normally run on Esso's stuff as its closest but from time to time Shell gets used. If Tesco was closer I would happily try that too.

[Yates]

Nah I like the focus st.

You cant tell when you have 95 in U liar. Fact.

fiestas don't look good!

[dontpannic]

fiestas don't look good!

Subjective.

You missed an all important part of that sentence - "in my opinion".

[VTR-Chris]

my focus is mapped for super so i always run it on that, cant say i notice a dif as its what ive always put in anyway

i do get more pops and bangs with 95 though, on the odd occasion it does get filled with it

[Anderz]

Just filled up with this new vpower nitro + paid £1.43 :n:

[Viper]

It is pretty common knowledge that the Fiesta ST is shit.

[Bordtea]

Might try this in the bike, not worth it on the VTR though

[dontpannic]

[Gandi699]

Seems this is just a rebranding as I filled up last night with it, standard Vpower is not available

[Jungle]

SOrry to barge in on this lover's tiff but Yates wtf are you going on about, of course you will get more BHP from mapping your car to a higher RON fuel, but on a standard every day saxo you will not see any noticeable difference, if you do it is placebo.

And to whoever said V Power was 98, you are wrong, was already 99.

100% i notice a difference when having 95 then going to 99... my cars not mapped to 99/v power

[Jungle]

Try reading again.

Well TBH I got a little confused trying to decipher his posts, to me he seemed to be saying his car has been mapped on 95, the tuner has then said bring it back with V-Power in and we can get another 20 horses out of it, which makes sense, but doesn't help his argument of seeing a difference without mapping it.

It does make a difference. Like said il have car mapped to it soon, and see if there is, tuner says should get 20bhp more purely by changing fuel. That's a good difference in anyones eyes.

you drive a fiesta, it is shit, if I drove one id say its shit too. because it is.

Look at your first post, going on saying its a fact U see no change, then go on about how your st it makes no difference. But then say later on it will.

Like i said before the reason you make more BHP on higher RON fuel is that you can put more timing in before detonation starts to happen, more timing generally equals more power, unless you are running an ECU that can do that itself and a highly tuned motor you won't see the differences without a map.

[Tommo87]

Please let shell know this as they seem to think their v-power was 98 and all their literature states v-power as 98RON.

[Jungle]

Please let shell know this as they seem to think their v-power was 98 and all their literature states v-power as 98RON.

Please provide some evidence to back up your fact? Last I knew V-Power was 99RON in the UK, Optimax was 98 but that was back in the day when we still had dinosaurs and stuff...

[devilsadvocate]

Pulled upto a pump yesterday in the BMW and stuck £30 of the diesel stuff in at £1.49p a litre......50 miles later and my MPG was the same as it normally is and there are no other differences I can see.

[wadoryu]

The difference will be minimal. But over a period of time opcould do the world of good. I always chuck the finest in as it barely costs anymore.

[jpsaxo]

On a performance engine you will notice a decent difference, on any normal engine you might as well not bother.

On my daily drive I put in 95, on my Saxo I will never use anything apart from vpower/nitro plus.

Also I must say - anyone that can afford a car with a high performance engine can afford a few extra pence per litre

[Yates]

Jungle come to Darlington. Il take U out, il even let u drive, once with 95 and one with 99 just to prove my point it makes a massive difference in my car.

[wadoryu]

Picked up the instore leaflet earlier, it says it is a 99ron

[dontpannic]

Evo, 380bhp and standard ecu.

Well no wonder you can tell the difference. I'm sure the Evo is a car from the factory that is recommended to be run on high octane fuels which is why you notice it's slower when using 95...!

Why are you running a 380bhp Evp on 95RON anyway?

[12u55]

Cos it's about 13p cheaper?

[dontpannic]

Really? Quibbling over 13p a litre when running a 380bhp Evo?

[dan1788]

Saw this in my local shell the other day, was only like 4-5 pence a litre more. Worth it when your filling up not even a pound or more per fill up, might as well why not?

[wadoryu]

13p a liter? Da fuck v never seen it more than 8p

[Viper]

Why are you running a 380bhp Evp on 95RON anyway?

Now I went to get my car serviced, decided on a power run shit thing was needed a remap, but fuel I had was 95 Ron, on way there the shell garage was closed and I needed fuel

I'm surprised you did it actually. I would have just rung up and said I couldn't go. Fuck putting 95 in the S15!

[Mochachino]

Read thread mate, Tom I was on way to mappers, and as said I wasn't supposed to be getting mapping done, only had a tenner of stuff in. Either run out of fuel on a1 or put in 95. Easy choice.

Only time I've ever put it in, and sods law ended up getting it mapped as previous map as that bad.

Really? Quibbling over 13p a litre when running a 380bhp Evo?

Who said that?! I've never complained about petrol prices lol, who buys an evo to complain about petrol prices?! its like someone calling a fiesta a performance Car, just doesn't happen!

[Viper]

Oh aye, I forgot how shit the original map was! That flat spot was fun.

I think dontpanic was saying that comment to the tool who suggested you put 95 in because it's cheaper than Vpower.

[Yates]

gettin map tweeked for v power nxt time I have a good run at home, just waiting to hear back from the guy

[dontpannic]

I think dontpanic was saying that comment to the tool who suggested you put 95 in because it's cheaper than Vpower.

Absolutely.

Didn't see the post where you said about going to the tuners and the shell was shut, apologies.

Who? Because my A-level chemistry says the ResearchOctaneNumber is for short the octane number.

I never said in a saxo you could. Just said I could tell. Doesn't run shit on 95 either

Ok run shit is the wrong wording, Evo ecu's have a knock sensor though and pull timing out when knock is detected, which is what happens when you run them on 95, hence why you see a drop in power. Although it doesn't really matter now, I mis-read your posts thought you were saying it makes a difference on all cars, my bad.

I've just been running some crappy 95 in the Beamer as the last place I had to stop at had nothing else, just put half a tank of this new Nitro plus pricey stuff so I'll see what I think.

My car seems to pop on the overrun with nitro+ (completely standard car with cat) although it sounds quite cool, but I'm not sure if its good for the car.

[Cam]

Pops with a cat :homme: that wont last long

[Mochachino]

Turns out ive been filling up the car with this stuff for a few weeks now, didnt notice any difference and its the only option at my petrol station replacing the VPower. Its the same price too, wouldnt be surprised if its just some marketing and rebrand.

[saxowebby]

put it in my car and it fucked it up big style. I don't recommend it for use in diesels :)

What happened,why did it fuck it up?

[Noesph]

Because its petrol......

Its Deisel aswell, just like how Vpower is petrol and deisel..

So.. If you were to accidentally put petrol into a diesel, would it be better to be v-power?

V-power nitro gives you an extra 40bhp at the flywheel iirc hur hur

Depends whichway the wheel spins when you pour petrol on it, clockwise or anti clockwise.

It is iirc.

Never noticed a difference from 95 to vpower. Weirdly though in the last few weeks I've noticed 95 tesco stuff doesn't make my exhaust pop and bang as much as shell 95 so I'm guessing shell stuff is better quality.

Plus sounds cooler :)
