Today I was able to install the following on my EWG 535i 8AT.

GPlus FMIC
VRSF Downpipe
NGK 97506 gapped at .020"
BM3 stage 2 91 octane
92 Octane Shell gasoline

The ambient temp was in the 90's. I beat on the car quite a bit and into 4th the temps were rising even with the FMIC. In 3rd the temps dropped slightly.

I am still learning how to read these logs. It appears no knocks, iat was a bit high. Timing appeared to be all over the place.

Can someone help me analyze these and explain if they are OK or not?

Update:

Received a response from PTF. My octane is not good enough to run their OTS 91 octane tune.

Gas in the Seattle area is consistently 92 octane at the pump. Somewhat shocking that it's not OK to run a 91 tune.

Trying a different gas station today, but still concerned that I have to go to a specific gas station every fill-up.

Any others in the Seattle area have this issue?

I contacted PTF. All they told me was my octane was bad. Then to try a different gas station?

The ACN 91 Stg2 is not showing up in the OTS maps. I asked them to send it to me, but haven't seen anything yet.

Try octane booster to see if that help.

Update: Ran Chevron 92 instead of Shell 92.

First log looks a ton better. Second breaks up a little more. Need some good feedback from PTF and others on this. Would rather make 10hp less and run consistently/reliably.

If you do not have access to better fuel, consider getting methanol injection.
