E85 will transform your car. The way it performs, the way it idles, the way it sounds....

gas mileage too, doubt you care though. My friend gets 12-13 mpg in his Evo X and he drives like a grandma for the most part.

GT-R Jewelry. Too bad that they will go under the car not to be seen. These friggin pipes cost more than my first car.

In lieu of my current ability to afford a GT-R, I'm going to have to own one vicariously through achenator. That is all.

They have an excellent reputation in the GT-R community and (I believe) have a decent reputation for tuning European cars.

Regardless of their reputation, they make the GT-R go very fast:


OP, I think you will be very happy with modifying the GT-R. Maybe post some sound clips for us :P ?

Downpipes, Injectors, pumps, intakes, big turbo inlets and midpipe. Stock catback. Car made 578 whp on e85, 552 on 93. It was dynod in South Florida in 95 degree heat, high humidity an a Mustang. Confident it should be 600 on a good day. Took it to PBIR Friday night. My first pass ever on a drag strip in any car I ran a 10.82 at 131. I think I let out a bit early and conitions were horrible. Car runs like a beast. So smooth around town but an animal when you get on it. Had the transmission control flashed to LC5 from the 2013 GT--R. Made a big difference in driveability. Vids to come.

Stock was 480 at the crank, but they were underrated IIRC.

Thanks. I am at the point where the next step is huuuggee. Maxed out on stock turbos. To safely go to bigger turbos means built internals and tranny. I don't know right now if I wanna go another 30-40k into this car. I'm at the tipping point where everything gets so expensive for more gains. I have seen Tim Sanders Alpha 12+ car run in Texas and now in Fla. When it runs well it is mindblowing. But it seems like they are f'n with it more than they are running it. I think if I were to build it, 800-900 whp would be where I'd want to be. Even with twins, the big cars lag.
