Use http://www.georgebelton.com/E85Calculator.php or E85 Calculator app and start with a E20 blend
- Rinse ; Increase to E25
- Don't forget to log 0-100 or 30-100 to see everything is on track

Think its 3.3 gallons if i recall correctly. I put 3 gal and it didnt run well. I had to thin it down with 93 gas again after driving around some. I wasnt able to fine tune 100% as i think i went back to 93 stg 2 once i ran the tank down like 2 times. Bm3 had v4 and v5 and maybe v5.1 now so let me know what ver and how many gallons work for you as I'd like to try again

BTW - when on the bm3 wifi agent, are you only able to see latest OTS maps? Id like to go back to 93 stg 2 v4 with quieter cold start and only v5 shows up. I also noticed facebook mentioned the burbles slider was out, i have the latest agent update so not sure if im missing something

Yes only the current can be seen unless you downloaded an earlier map then it shows all of them you have downloaded. Current stg 2 93 is V5 but I have V4 & V5. The app has the slider function so make sure it is current

I am confused, so the right mix should be 3.3 gal but when you ran 3.0 it did not run well so you had to mix down more with 93?

Im just saying i calculated e30 for the car as 3.3gallons. I just tried 3 gallons at first and it wasnt running good. I had bm3 check my logs and they told me i had too much so i thinned it down. I didnt get the "had too much" if i was below e30 to begin with but thinning it down did help. That was an earlier version so maybe it works better for you now or perhaps current ver is best or it really needs to be 2gal, etc.

I am curious if it was the HPFP....they are really inconsistent and vary from car to car. Did you get any codes? at E30 and the JB4 I was always faulting with a HPFP pressure not on target under wot 5th gear

This is what frustrates me. Map is OTS E30. Doesnt say what amt to use. I calculate it as 3.3 gallons, round down to 3 for conservative. Doesnt run good, think it needs to be e20 map

Each car is different, what happens to you doesn't necessarily means its the same for everyone

I am running E30 now and I worked my way up from E20 blend.

IT cant tell you what amount to use because your tank size is different as long as you calculate up to 30% Blend
You're adding 3.3gals to how many gals of gas ???

Hello!

Here in germany i am able to get BP/Aral Ultimate 102RON/ROZ equal to 95 AKI Octane gas.

Is it possible to run the BM3 E30 OTS Map with the 102/95 Oct gas?

Is there a benefit instead of going with BM3 Stage2 93 Oct?

Akra DP 300 Cell and Wagner Comp2 FMIC are already installed

For EURO, they released the RaceGas map which will prob be best for your Aral Ultimate 102 RON
