True. but the 300zx has a longitudinal v6 as opposed to sullys. It just seems to me like there wouldn’t be enough room… ---

It just seems to me like there wouldn’t be enough room… Its been done a few times but I think it requires a custom intake manifold as well. I think twin with TT exhaust manifolds might even be cheaper depending on how much custom manifolds are gonna cost to make ---

When my car gets built it will be a 9.0:1 2.6 Stroker with a 35R at 40psi on C16. I don’t intend on driving the car regularly once it’s built, so I don’t mind the whole C16 thing. E85 is a great solution to keeping fuel costs low when running high compression and boost in a daily driver. ---

Jim, how much other work do u have to do for E85? like different fuel lines and a standalone and stuff or can u just run it as is? ---

You need a standalone to adjust timing, fuel, etc. I’m not familiar on the components required for a fuel system. From what I understand, Ethanol is corrosive to soft metals. ---

i hears it corrodes fuel lines, so u have to replace rubber ones with silicone or something like that. i cant confirm or deny either though.
