Wow way to get shot down for asking a f**king question

Maybe some could explain WHY it's such a bad idea to run this fuel, it's cheap as hell i'm sure people are tempted to use it

ok, i'll give you a somewhat more in depth answer, albeit in point form

- ethanol has a different stoichmetric value (the ideal air/fuel ratio) so you need to run a much richer AFR

- ethanol makes a smaller bang because it burns colder so without a tune you will make much less power

- once the tuned is richened up then you will make similar power

- corrosive properties as mention, however not as bad as some people make out.

- fuel economy is much worse than regular fuel (as mentioned, you need to run it much richer) to the tune of about 30% which negates the lower price

im not going to do the search for you but they are pretty easy to find in the business traders section.

Just go into that section and then in the search window type in O2.

    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
