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.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
    • FYI: Racebox RE7R Custom Tunes Released!   https://goracebox.com/.../2017-infiniti-q50-q60-re7r-tcm...   FOR GEN 2 (21+) VEHICLES, PLEASE SEE NOTE AT BOTTOM See more   But whomever tuned your car is the tuner you should go back to, AMS, Sonictune or BT Tune....
