A Long Time Coming(that's what she said)
After years and many many hours spent reading these forums, I've decided to finally join. Also, I'm pretty bored during this quarantine. Here's my 95 M Edition. I purchased this car about 3 years ago, bone stock with 46k miles. A year ago, I boosted it on the stock motor and just recently popped it at my most recent track day(The Firm). Motor is currently getting machine for 1.9L supertech 9.5:1 pistons as well as some Manley rods. There are some other goodies, but i wont bore you unless you ask. I look forward to being able to contribute to these forums and maybe helping someone out who was in the same position I was in a few years prior.

I tore apart the motor a couple weeks ago and saw cylinder 3 & 4 pistons had chunks missing from the edges, symmetrical in shape, size, and position. I'll have to post some pics from my phone later. It was kinda gnarly. Chunks from cylinder 4 decided they wanted to be valves lol.

Not too aggressive IMO but a seriously lazy table. By that I mean very little effort was put in to it or it was done by someone who doesn't understand tuning. Ignition advance should increase with rpm if load stays the same.
I would not let the individual who made that table tune my car.
Didn't realize you were on megasquirt. Post the tune. I'd like to see the rest of it.

Yikes (the story). He likely fucked up and then turned around and backed the timing off to hide his mistake and sent you on your way.
The 100kpa level can go up to about 30 and can be blended down to the 25's in your 70kpa row. The rest is pretty generic, as stated by others.

Do it yourself for the timing map copying the maps of others with similar engine specs. Tune idle yourself. It's important and easy to learn. Tuner Studio will autotune the fuel map with you just driving the car around. Don't use the guy he used.
Where are you located?

He's the one im having build the motor, I plan on tuning it myself to start during break in and making sure everythings solid. Afterwards, ill see about tuning it myself or perhaps going to some miata race group in treasure island. apparently he helped develop the MS ecu and races regularly in NASA i believe.
