E10 Fuel - Shell Extreme

[arbess]

Fellow turbo community,

I know this has been raised in the other forum sub sections. I just wanted to start a Queensland idea, thought, information topic.

E10 fuel. Shell has just recently release this ethanol blended fuel into some of our Shell stations in Brisbane. Some have been saying it is good, some say its bad and it would run bad in our pre 2004 model nissans. Click here to see where I sourced the info

I own a Gtr. I am really concerned about what I put into my car and how it will operate. Will my turbo's survive, will my piston rings fry, will my timing get ruined? These are just somethings that cause concern, I'm sure there are you's who think alike.

Can people post their comments and educated information here to enlighten those who are considering a change in fuel.

Thank you

General gist of it, you would have to get a full tune with this fuel in the car for it to be any good.

Good article in Zoom about it as well.

Had my RB26 retuned on it yesterday, took another 2 degrees advance the whole way through the rev range (over 98) & that's on a built engine running 20psi. Ran like sh*t before the tune, fuel map needed to be richened up as the 100 leaned it out.
