when it comes to motor swaps,

no LSx = no care

Looking at wiki, the 25DE has similar horsepower but significantly less torque than the 30DE. The 30DE-K or the 35DE would be a much better engine swap. There's no replacement for displacement (except forced induction)

Sounds like a scam. Ethanol has less chemical energy than gasoline does. Most cars have less horsepower on ethanol than they do on gas.

I'm thinking the only benefit the vq25 has over the vq30 is it's probably more rev happy due to shorter connecting rods. It be a unique swap to take to the car shows just to say "I have the vq25de swap" doubt they would be winning races again 3.0 or 3.5 guys.

E85 puts out more power if i believe correctly it has like 110 octane it burns hotter. I know a guy who ran his talon tsi on E85 and that thing hauled ****

Just looked it up and 100% ethanol is 113 octane, and E85 is only 15% gasoline so its till higher octane than like 93
