Or go ask some of the GT-R guys. Pretty sure some of them do.

50/50 blend... are you saying mixing 93 50% and e85 50%?

eastwest2300 · 09-22-2015, 08:10 AM

they stated 10-20whp, but i'm skeptical it can be that high. if it was 10whp i'd be more than satisfied.

Do you have to get a new fuel pump too?

Yea. Although it might not be the best for our cars. That might require research. Idk what our lines are and if the ethanol will eat through anything since it's technically rated at 104/105 octane at higher elevations.

no, according to the shop and even some of the research i did, i would just need the gtr injectors and that would be it.

from what i read it won't eat through the lines or anything like that. and i would be only running on e85, wouldn't be a 50/50 blend.

If you're really nervious. Get a e85 conversion kit box. The conversion box just adds injector pulse width to the injectors to compensate for the increased fuel need of E85. Supposedly it can tell if you need more or less fuel and compensate for any mix you end up with.

e85 really cleans out the tank, but all that leftover junk gets trapped in the filter.
