My build will be finished this week (NA8, Nissan 2560 equivalent, ID1000, ARTech, MS3X). What I am looking for right now is for some critique on the ignition map that I will be running to start with until I make it to a dyno to tune it properly. I know it is different for every car, so I want to ensure that this ignition map is safe enough to allow some margin in case my car is more detonation prone than the average Miata. The ignition map I plan to run is attached. I will smooth it more once I get it into TS. Let me know what you think! Thanks!

you 81kPa row is what the stock ECU would be at 100kPa, I think you've started retarding a bit too early. Overall in boost it's a VERY conservative timing map.

I would add 5° to my 205kPa row, make the 81kPa row my 106kPa row, then interpolate between the 205 and 106.

Thank you! I will do that. I actually referenced the stock ECU map when making this one, as well as some other maps I found on here. I must have missed that when making this map.

I thought the DIY map was a good one to use?

I have searched on many occasions for good base maps. Until I searched "miata turbo DIY map" just now, I had never seen these DIY maps before. Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.

Just a heads up, if you are in California be careful with most maps, even very conservative or "safe" maps. It is hard to imagine how bad our 91 is until you start tuning with it.

Thanks for the tip. But I am not in CA so thankfully I do not have to worry about that.
