E85 with JB4

I'm running FBO and was wondering what map on the jb4 I should use for best results running on e85. Also how much e85 is "safe" to run?

Map 5

Start with E30 and do some logs. Based on your analysis of the logs you can see if your car can take more or not. Some cars are more receptive than others to E.

"Models equipped with the pneumatic wastegate & flex fuel connector may experiment with up to 40% E85 mixtures. Some cars tolerate E85 and some do not. Cars that do not tolerate the mix will "buck" or "miss" at full throttle. In some cases map 7 can be used on the E85 mix and in other cases map 2 is the highest that can be used. It's best to start slowly and work your way up in terms of aggressiveness when experimenting with E85 mixtures. "

Has anyone used E85 on the N20 with the JB4?

What do you mean by "buck"? Is the car hiccuping in idle?
