Not present here...I can only get +KR readings when car is not up to full operating temps, and during a WOT lift I get an occasional +.8 or +1...other than that no +KR at all.

I did however experience this same example of timing being pulled quite regularly with the winter blend.

Well here is something new. I actually caught the positive 4.5 right as it was happening. Not a mystery any more. It was lugging at moderate throttle. Not enough throttle for a down shift but enough to get low low vac or maybe a little boost and voila 4 positive KR. I nailed  it right after and at WOT no KR or even a little negative. So I think it's octane deprived winter gas at part throttle lugging.
I can jive with that.

I am seeing the same thing. Haven't tried the ethanol yet..

I will add to this. Thought my car was feeling sluggish so I did a 1:12 gallon ratio of e85/93 and it woke up the beast.

I will continue to use this ratio and monitor it, this winter gas really is garbage.

This is the only time I see +kr also. This exact scenario.

I pretty much see no KR, random 1.5 here or there normally after a hard shift.

Almost always negative kr and pegs  to -5 quick.

Almost makes me want to grow a  little patch of corn in the garden next year. Little show of support....;D

So now I know I got some company....what to do....switch to a 91 octane tune for the winter, or do a little custom blend. My tank is low so it's time to decide. The allure of a custom blend is undeniable!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Says no e/20 - e/85 in the fuel door...still within parameters with a small mix...

If anyone tries the 91 tune, that would add to the info here though.

I've switched to my 91 tune but that was after my Bluetooth adapter took a crap.
I have been watching timing advance with my x4. Seems to be dropping less with the 91 tune running 93 gas.

I'm stuck with 91 octane here in CA, with my 25% mix of E85 I'm at about 93.8 octane. More than likely going to experiment with meth once I get these downpipes put on.

I was running a 93 tune but also stuck with 91 octane. So i blended with e85. After the track on sunday I reverted back to 2 bar and 91 though for the winter, I may as well save some money because the roads are brutal here in the winter

Thx for the added info. Are you able to monitor knock with the mycal? Add custom  PID'S too?

Are you monitoring with anything Mike?
