I had my car tuned at T1 by Tony Palo in January. The car is currently tuned on E85. I relocated for work to a town that has no E85 stations anywhere, closest one is 2 hours away. This car is my daily and I have half a tank left!!! Ive tried contacting T1, but was just told to email Tony, which I haven't recieved a response yet. Will it be safe to run the car on 93 until I can source a basemap??? Money is really tight, so having it retuned is out of the question at the moment. Any help would be greatly appreciated, mods are listed below.

Do not run anything but e85 on the e85 tune.

You will need to re-tune on 93 octane.
If you don't have a wideband gauge installed in the car, you must get one or find a local tuner to tune the car & provide his etc.

Well ****, I dont have one installed. Nearest tuner from this town is in Houston which is about 2 hours away.

You need a wideband & a modified tune for 93 octane.

why e85 for that type of power. im boosting 20psi with 91 octane making 356whp and 297 torque in my ls turbo and been like this for over a year. spark plugs look good, 31mpg(no bs), and pistons look nice and shiny through the spark plug hole. forged internals and sleeves.

and isnt that turbo a little too big. your torque i just noticed is a little low. my friend has same setup with a big turbo and makes 398whp and 232trq 15 psi and his peak torque is at redline. everytime we raced my torque raped him even with 50ish less whp and a heavier car(integra and he has a hatch). i convinced him to go with a smaller turbo and boost higher to achieve same peak horsepower and have a load of midrange torque and power. now he is making 273trq and 352whp and gets better times than before. just some advice

unless you do what my first advice was for my friend which was to add nitrous to spool the big turbo up and actually be quick in a drag race if thats what your building it for. ps he has to rev to 9500 to stay in powerband too which also sucked when he had big turbo

Torque is low due to low.boost pressure. The car is fun, yea turbo is a little on the big side, but I love it

If you really can't spend any money, put in stock injectors and map and remove the wastegate spring. Load up a type-r basemap and don't drive like a tard.
