my old evo was phenomenal. It has built engine with forged internal, turbo-back exhaust, exedy stage 1 clutch, coil-over and tuned by speed industry. Basically, the Evo was just a track car and not meant for daily for me. My back was turned into ashes driving the Evo. But, couple month I raced an Evo prolly same set up as my old Evo. 3rd and 4th gear he was a car ahead of me (Due to his quick spooling turbo) but then I beat him in top end. Again, Evo and STI are great all around car...

5.5 gal E85 and 8.5 gal 93 gets you 40% E85. Or just do 4 gal E85 and 6 gal 93 which works too. Do 3 third gear WOT pulls on map 5 and you'll be set.

No need to upgrade to G5 right away. Just download latest firmware for your G4 before you add E85. Your can do it in the winter weather but be careful with the new power on these frozen roads. I personally won't bother with E85 again until April.

For my Jb4 I needed an addon to identify the fuel mixture. I'm not sure if the n54 is the same.
I run 50/50

Not sure if its any of you guys but I spotted a lowered white e90 m3 on i96 and Milford at 6 tonight. I waved but I doubt you saw through my tint.

No engine hardware mods required but you'll definitely need a tune with an E85 map. JB4, Cobb, Proceed all have E85 maps now. Gas mileage definitely takes a hit especially if you drive more aggressively.

If you run map 5 on jb4 it will auto tune to e85 mix. You just can't run any higher mix than 60/40. And yes, your mpg definitely decreases with e85 but I think it's definitely worth it for extra power temporarily. |

Well guess ill do the dual intake first, then go from there. I have a buddy who can tune my car for $300 and he does a damn amazing job right off his laptop. Retunes are free also.

Does the jb4 do a good job of "custom" tuning. Like if I had just an intake, or say I upgrade to a exhaust will I even notice the diff if there are tunes for it. I know the Cobb tuner for the subarus only has like 3 settings but not specific for each mod or how many.

Downpipe + 93 octane gets you very far with the JB4. + Intake and FMIC, will get you a buttload. JB4 has custom maps and preloaded maps for each user.
