I’ll also take the opportunity to get your feedback on the latest questions I asked:
1. Before going to map 7, I updated the BEF with the latest 08/02/18 release. It seems to have improved partial throttle a little but I'm feeling a hiccup in the 4,500-5,000ish RPM. Attaching logs.
2. On both this BEF and the previous, I'm having trouble when the car is warm only, to start. It cranks and cranks and won't start. After 3 or 4 tries, it eventually starts.
3. I've also noticed the downshifting (DCT) has become less precise. Seems to over rev then engage abruptly, makes for harsh shifts in sport mode. I guess the 100% E85 is pushing other systems in the car a little too far?
On the latest JB4 firmware we have an E85 startup option under FUD bit2. Email me for the firmware and you can test it out. We've also reworked the boost by gear, improved map5, and made partial throttle control a lot smoother. Could use some feedback on it!

Yes, MHD charges $299 for an S55 flash license and then you load the BEF maps we post which are free. No additional expenses from MHD.

Hi Terry, this e85 start up is on 1.8.4 test 5 firmware? I’ve updated this yesterday and yes definitely smoother and timing in all cylinders more consistent and I’m still on the 11d Bms jb4 s55 bef. I’m still waiting for u to email me the latest bef 😂
This boost by gear improves traction ? Do I need to set max boost values for each gear for it to work or it’s already incorporated? Tx
1) Adjusted throttle tables on all maps for smoother operation. Very happy with comfort and sport mode but sport+ still needs a bit of work. There is no performance difference between any of the modes, only how responsive the gas pedal is, so feel free to use whatever mode you prefer. We normally leave our cars on comfort for a more linear gas pedal travel.
2) Added E85_IGN maps which features increased timing advance and a leaner air/fuel ratio, for those who are trying to push stock turbo performance to it's limit. Most vehicles can run the latest map5 with these changes on straight E85 which peaks at around 24psi. From 24psi to 27psi (map7) is a crap shoot and depends on weather, how strong your fuel pump is to start with, exact E85 mixture, etc.
3) These post maps superseded all previous test versions of v13 maps that were being passed around in email.

Hey Terry,
Had a lengthy road trip today that allowed me to get some E85 in the tank, mixed with 93 octane to make E35 blend.
I got a few pulls with the S55 RACE v12 BEF, running Map 5 on latest firmware (1_8_4_TEST10).
Those logs are attached here.
Midway through the trip I received the thread email notification about the new BEF maps, so of course, had to pull over and update to the RACE v13 BEF . I will add those logs in a separate post to help keep things organized.
2016 F82 M4 / Sakhir Orange / Black extended leather / Opti-Coat Pro
NGK 1-step colder, 0.020" / BMC drop-in, carbon delete / Injen intake & CPs / AR Design catt'd down / AA mid
LCI rear light retrofit / AutoTecknic front splitters / Mode Carbon High Kick rear spoiler / 3D Design rear diffuser
Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 265/285 35-19 / BMS ceramic black exhaust tips / Macht Schnell spacers - 15mm(f), 12mm(r)
Here are the initial S55 RACE v13 logs I got after re-flashing the DME. Other than the updated BEF map, everything else is the same:
- same tank of E35 blend
- JB4 running 1_8_4_TEST10 firmware
- Map 5

Michelin Pilot Sport 4S 265/285 35-19 / BMS ceramic black exhaust tips / Macht Schnell spacers - 15mm(f), 12mm(r)
I had to refuel, which allowed checking the new BEF using straight pump 93 octane.
One thing I noticed was a surging sensation when gently accelerating at partial throttle. I grabbed a couple logs while this was happening.
All but one of the logs I attached in this and the above posts were obtained in Sport+, DCT set to S3, and MDM (Euro) DSC mode. The other pull was logged while trying Launch Control, just to see how the car handled it with the new firmware and BEF, as well as the new tires.

Ok tx Terry. Will try them out. Does this mean also that I shouldn’t use Map 6 any longer and just go to Map 7 on E70 at 25psi. Will Map 6 run leaner too with the new v13 bef?
The AFR targets will effect all JB4 maps, but you can use map6 or whatever you'd like with them.

Thanks! Checking em out now.
Sport+ can be a bit of a problem with the new JB4 partial throttle logic, I have a request in to MHD for a table change I want to adjust it.
Also working on an adjustment to the JB4 side that will also resolve it in a different way. Will post that when ready so you can try it out.

Ok tx Terry. So just to confirm, if all maps are going to be absolute target maps, what will map 6 target? Will map 6 be user adjustable target defined still like before?
Also, afr will target 14.3 midrange and 13.3 up top for all the maps?
Map6 works the same way it worked previously. Enter the target you want.
E85_IGN BEF has mid 14s mid 13s for all maps at full throttle on target boost.

E85_IGN BEF has mid 14s mid 13s for all maps at full throttle on target boost.
So in theory, even at E70, map 6 25psi I should be making more power with the new leaner afr targets?
With leaner afr can I stay with e70 or I need to inc to e85 if boost is at 25psi? Not quite clear on the logic on having leaner afrs except that it means u can run 100% e85 without affecting the fuel pump.
