dmhenderson's Nismo '12 GTM supercharged build thread where I freak out a lot

[dmhenderson]

"seized up"??? What happened? You're going to make me paranoid.

Read what we had to do carefully and save yourself a headache. The ethanol conversion was horrible and probably not worth it in the long run.

Go ahead and pick up the fuel return kit from CJM now because the setup won't work without it. Just to give you an idea, I have to fill up twice a week driving around on this stuff, it's more expensive than premium (right now) and burns 3x as fast. Oh and I should also mention my "commute" is less than a quarter mile from home. I'm sure you know most of this - just want you to be aware of what you're getting yourself into.

Also did you ever swap out your BPV?

*Edit: For FI and Ethanol you need the stage 2 return kit FYI.

Sorry, not trying to make you paranoid, the fluid in the reservoir all dumped out (still investigating) and was going down the freeway so the SC was spinning with no fluid. SC overheated and locked up, if the fluid had not leaked the kit was still going on strong.

I have spoken with Charles at CJM and we are working on the parts to use for the fuel upgrade, also trying to deal with GTM on getting key parts I need from them if that is even possible.

Woah, e85 is more than premium for you guys? It was high for a bit at the start of the year here but it has dropped down below regular fuel (I think I last saw at $1.80-$1.90). Also working on a DD as my wife & I are expecting our first child so need a car with a back seat area to haul the little one around.

I never did change the BPV, might be something I need to do also while doing all the upgrades.
