Anyone Running the New(er) JB4 E85 Maps?

If so, what is your take on it and where do you get the E85? Also, would you mind helping me update my firmware to the latest one?

Whenever you want I can help with the new maps. I think the new maps run real strong.

Sounds good to me, Mark. I've been wanting to try out the new map 5, and maybe some E85. I should have your number still. Where are you located again?

I am still in Plantation right now, but am in Miami quite frequently. Let me know when-I still have your # from the track.

Hit me up next time you're going to be headed to the Miami area and we'll set something up.

I don't know that I'll be able to make it, but I'll post in the meet thread if I am.

What are your mods? I am thinking of doing it with DCI only.

That's what I'll be doing. Other than the JB4, I only have a BMS DCI.

Ran pretty strong at the track, even though it was 90* out. Best on race gas and map 7 was 12.51 @ 112.77 mph. Map 5 and race gas gave me a best of 12.55 @ 111.60 mph. It seems people are able to run map 7 with the E85 blends, so I'd imagine it will be similar.

EDIT: These runs were done on the 9/16 firmware, which I'm still running.

I don't think BMS has released e85 specific maps for the N55 yet. You can try just blending and running the race map.

Yea, you need to get the USB cable and download the free software from BMS to update.

I updated mine but now I'm getting random misfires and don't know why. Going to try and restore default settings this weekend and see if that helps. Did this happen to anyone else?

Hey Steve! How did you finally download the new firmware? Did you upload both the new firmware and interface?

The Ethanol content in your mix is too high. Try a smaller percentage of e85.

Used one of my friend's girlfriend's computers. Used the most recent interface and the most recent firmware. Not sure why I'm now getting the random misfires. It only does it when I'm on Map 5, but not on Map 1.

No idea why, so I'm going to restore the defaults (didn't do this when I installed the new firmware, so it may help) and try again.

It's doing it on straight 93 octane. I haven't mixed any E85 in as of yet.

Misfire on cylinder 6, cylinder 5 and I think 3. Plus the "misfire, multiple cylinder" code (only on Map 5). This morning, on Map 1, I got misfire on cylinder 6 and the "misfiring in case of tank filling level too low". I do need to get gas, though. Other than that, no codes on Map 1.
