I just would like to start a thread with the benefits and bad sides to switching to E85 and what components need to be changed to make it reliable add more power etc. Anyone who has done this or knows what should be done to make it successful please chime in.
Why? It has less HP and MPG per gallon than straight gasoline. EtOH production and use is not any better for the environment (some would say it's worse). IIRC, the manual says to not use E85. &c, &c, &c

Edit:
From 2009 Owner's Manual, page 9-3:
Quote:
Do not use E-85 fuel in your vehicle. Your vehicle is not designed to run on E-85 fuel. Using E-85 fuel can damage the fuel system components and is not covered by the NISSAN vehicle limited warranty.
