2010 GT-R Premium Edition.
Performance Mods: 3” Big MAF Dual Custom Intakes, AMS 90mm Catless Downpipes, HKS 90mm resonated midpipe & exhaust, Dual Aeromotive 340 Fuel Pumps, ID1000cc Injectors, Custom E85 tune.
I switched to E85 in early March 2011. I had already done two rounds of mods and was still wanting more power, so I contacted my tuner about a turbo swap. Knowing my goals, he suggested I try switching from 93-octane to E85 with my existing mods first…then see if I still wanted to do the turbos. Sure enough, E85 transformed the car and I’m no longer considering turbos. I also no longer get sut on my lower rear valance like I did (catless) on 93-octane.
Down sides are: Cold starts, averaging 12mpg, on full-boost 1st & 2nd gear are now useless, tracking the car means bringing 5-gallon gas cans with me now.
