Anyone Ever Tried 2-stroke Oil In Their Gas?

I'm using the SuperTech that you mentioned. I'm actually impressed with how well it's working. That with the new ram air setup I just installed is awesome for highway mileage. And I'll definitely be taking it to the red-line soon. All the high school kids in their civics come out to play on Friday nights. It's always fun to eat a ricer with a stock-looking grocery getter lol.

Everyone in this thread seems to be talking about running oil in there car I wanna know the opinion on doing it for a gs and what ratio

About 2-3X as much - carbs and no catalytic converter = run what you please.
Cool.

Sorry, joe lol. I'll pop some in tomorrow and let you know if I can tell a difference. I don't know if it will have as much of an effect because the GS is carbed, not injected. But, it's worth a shot. I have 29 ounces left lol.

So the bottom line is one can run 2-stroke oil in the fuel, the valves and pistons will be delighted, and the only side effect is smoke?

With the newly formatted 2 stroke oils you really aren't going to get much smoke if any.  I run a two stroke in Trials and except for maybe a slight trace at start up it doesn't smoke at all.  This is with a 50/1 mix which is way more than we are talking about for the GS.

Pretty much. In my experience, there's been no smoke. In fact, exhaust has been a bit cleaner (judged by the amount of soot inside the exhaust tips). Just don't overdo it.

In regards to putting TCW3 in the GS:

A word to the wise here. We ran some of the same stuff through a 4-stroke carbureted walk-behind blower, not on purpose, but because all we had at the time was the premixed two-stroke gas for the hand tools. This was with TCW3. It sat for about a month or so and then afterwards WOULD NOT start. I broke down the carb and found the bowl full of blue "gel" that was almost hardened - the TCW3 we were using is blue. The jets were clogged as well. So the takeaway from this would be: if you plan to run this in the GS or any carbureted motor, I STRONGLY recommend NEVER letting it sit for more than a week. Running a tank or two of regular gas should clear it away for storage.

It's also important to note that while TCW3 does burn, it's not as volatile as gasoline. It could be possible to add enough TCW3 to increase the octane to a point to where the engine would not run as well. I'd stick with 1.5x the recommended dose. Probably start with the 1oz to 5 gallon ratio - half an ounce for each 2.5 gallons. It's not an exact science obviously, but close to that is good. You can then move up to 1.25x the dose of 1oz to 5 gallons, if you see an improvement, move up to 1.5oz per 5 gallons. If 1.5 yields better results, keep going until you see no improvement. If you see a loss, dial it back some.
