Re: FTW Purple vs E98 in the T1 Integra
Because Nissan FTMFW!!! hehehehe
But its true, with all the stuff companies like AMS and people like John Sheppard are putting out for this car, the results are outstanding. Two Alpha 12 gtr 100% full weight street cars in the 8's at 165mph daily driven is pretty impressive to me and yes the money is there for sure. People that own them are not cheapskates like a lot of people in the FWD import catagory of things.
Anyways, Nice comparison and real world testing between the fuels Tony....And keep up that good work on the GTR's

No, WG duty.
We have 7 GTRs here right now, 5 of them over 1000whp. I haven't had less than 5 GTRs here in over a year. There's more than enough of them out there that need good work and only a small handful of shops doing quality work on them. We do a lot of stuff from out of state, they're not all local. It's weird, we have more GTR work than we ever had Honda work. Most Honda guys want to do stuff themselves or take it to whoever is the cheapest, and that's not us. GTR guys want quality work and understand that that costs money.

Quality cost..time cost.. Even the Porsche and Audi work that I do, sometimes produces more income then my honda work.. because that crowd knows what they bought.. If you buy a 70,80,90k car, expect to spend a good chunk of change on modifications..
Looks great tony, i hope to try this fuel sometime soon on my car as well..i know a few of my close friends have used it with success.

Re: FTW Purple vs E98 in the T1 Integra
Trust me, I will own a GTR one day. Nissan really did a great thing bringing back the GTR and continuing the platform. And didnt screw up and not bring it to the states like the previous siblings.
Now if they could only get the rest of their lineup right and not so hideous looking.

Re: FTW Purple vs E98 in the T1 Integra
I believe most are doing it on stock axles, diffs and so on if im not mistaken. Once you take care of the gears in the trans they are pretty much bullet proof. Really havent heard any more about trans failures once the gears were replaced with John Sheps stuff or a couple others like Albins and so on.
Maybe tony can chime in a little more.
Either way, very impressive. Cruise around on a summer day with a/c blasting, go to the track that night, bust off a high 8 low 9 second pass or 5 and go home. Cant beat that and for a fraction of what most other supercars cost that arnt nearly as fast.

Good to hear things are going well for you and the shop. Wait until the economy turns around.

Requires 10-15% more fuel than E98 from my testing. If you're making any considerable amount of power it's going to take 8 injectors.

Re: FTW Purple vs E98 in the T1 Integra
Does it drop engine temps similar to what E98 does when switching from gas?
Is there a nasty film on the engine internals after use?
Need to wear a mask to tune?
Thanks Tony

Re: FTW Purple vs E98 in the T1 Integra
Skeptic here. I think the fuel makes power but many people can brew up these mixtures at home, whether they are reliable or legal in sanctioned events is the real question here.
So obviously it's not nitro but there are always mixtures you can use to increase power similar to how nitro meth increases power with just fuel alone. The real reason people don't run these mixtures is because they are not legal in racing. Will this fuel pass the test as e85 or race gas?

Re: FTW Purple vs E98 in the T1 Integra
takes more fuel means it needs less oxygen... and if it makes more power with more fuel/less oxygen that means the fuel contains the oxygen it needs...

Re: FTW Purple vs E98 in the T1 Integra
if he had someone of those bisi 2000cc injectors i bet they would swell lol
Tony good testing! glad to see the data and not just "trust" the dyno graph. Guess were about to see FTW fuel blow up and whoever is running the fastest will be running it.

The FTW "Clear" is E90 and has not been produced to the public yet.

Lets be real, the reason people aren't mixing up their own brews has nothing to do with rules....

Re: FTW Purple vs E98 in the T1 Integra
They don't check any of the allmotor street cars at the ogs race the onlyrace they will check fuel will be the shoot out so no loan car has never had her fuel checked
