Yeah e85 is the SHIT. Especially for turbo applications.

That's a badass deal on the vq w/ trans. Damn.

Hi guys my name is Peter and I'm from San Jose, CA. I own a 1990 S13 Coupe. I'm a poor college student who just jumped onto the 240sx bandwagon but 240s have always had a special place in my heart since about 1 month ago.

thats a custom manifold, the vq30det has the throttle body pointing the other way.

Be interesting to see how yours turns out, I'm rocking a 93 coupe with a '04 vq also. Been driving it daily and track for almost a year now and have been happy with the reliability, millage and performance. Been thinking of a rear mount turbo one day but cams would be about perfect for power upgrades.
