I saw this on the BM3 facebook page and was going to post it here! Let us know how it goes.

From the flow rates, does it look like it would be possible to run Full E85 with a stage 2 turbo?

If I plan to run 91 or 93 pump gas only, will stage 2 hpfp yield more power vs stage 1 or does octane become limiting factor with either pumps?

Nope.. has nothing to do with it.

Can you elaborate?

I think what he is getting at is that fuel flow will not be the limiting factor with pump gas. So getting a S2 HPFP is not going to provide you with any additional benefit over S1 HPFP with a pump gas (or even a race gas) tune for that matter. The primary reason to get S2 HPFP is for very high ethanol content (or any less energy dense fuel).

And Turbo....

What's up with your boost control and WGDC? WGDC is all over the map. Its like the WG keeps "fluttering" trying to control boost and it is very unsteady. Also, there is some pretty huge timing corrrections on Cyl 1 and 4.

+1 to everything mentioned above

maybe a little background info ,

first of all this still a wip map that isnt finished ayou can see

but to my own ignorance ive used the xhp and the sport and sport plus option incorrectly . for that reason the first revisions of thethanol map werent any faster than my 93oct maps .

when i spoke with someone about it , he advised me to use xhp stg3 and sportplus but keep pressing the dsc button for another few seconds till its completly off . and that changed a whole lot of things . before that my best time with the ethanol map was a low 9 seconds for a 100-200 . then ive got an update and it did this 7.00 wgich was a as you president would say a yuuuuuuuge difference . so it the upcomming weeks i hope to see things get morr smooth in the logs . but the hdp6 has no problem pushing e30

Understood its a work in progress, just making observations.

However can you clarify the underlined part? My understanding is that turning DSC off will result in the same settings regardless of what setting you initiate this from. In other words:

Comfort mode --> hold dsc button --> DSC off

is the same as

sport + mode --> hold dsc button --> DSC off

This is also consistent with the table that explains how the settings are affected in each mode (see below). Or are you talking about putting the tranmission into sport by moving the lever to the left?

[T_H_O_M_A_S]

xhp recent update maintains sport+ mode in trans with DSC off
so make sure to have latest revision

I just ordered Dorch Stage 1 for $999. Should be plenty of flow for my needs (more than XDI-35!)

I did see some BM3 guys were having to flash twice to get the Dorch HPFP to work correctly. I’m guessing that will get sorted out before I get around to installing my pump.

Where did you see this?

On the BM3 Facebook page. There’s a thread a little ways down and a couple guys complained about needing to reflash to get it to run correctly.

Found it, thank you 🍻


Worst case, I'll flash the 'Dorch Stock Tune' map Chris sent. I sent Chris Dorch my .BIN file...he added the calibration file and sent back to me.

Hey guys, I asked this over in the M2 forum, but thought I’d ask here too bc of all the N55 expertise over here:

One reason I’m upgrading is so I can run a higher Emix year round and I don’t have to worry about HPFP drop outs when temps go below 60F.

Are there any issues with running E45 year round if I only drive my car a couple times a week? What about if it’s been sitting outside when temps get below 30F?

Regarding tune, would you expect the car to make any more power on the BM3 Stg 2 E30 map just by adding ethanol to E45?

If not, any recommendations on the cheapest/easiest path to a custom tune that will add power in the meantime, before upgrading my Dinan turbo to a PS2 or something else?

Thanks.

You might get longer cranking running high E mix in cold weather.

Yes it does, I'm full E85 and during cold temp I need to press "start" 2 times.

Got it. I’ll be doing E45-50, so shouldn’t be as bad. I guess extra cranking really isn’t an issue other than more wear on the battery and starter?

Otherwise, does a high Emix stay stable enough in the tank if only driving the car a couple times a week in the winter?

Yes will be fine with that usage. It can sit for 2 months or more, I'd just want to have the tank nearly full or full to prevent condensation if just sitting for that length of time, which your car isn't in this scenario, but todays tanks are part of a sealed system, so usually no wories over water in them. You can add Stabil if want some more stability or some TCW3 2 stroke oil(1 once per 5 gallons gas) in there and also get gas stability and top end lube, as E85 is "dry" compared to gas.
