Modified PULP map and I don't do the 4500 + . The reason the light load areas are so advanced is because that's where it seems to make best part throttle torque , on E70 . Not spiking now . I will agree the timing is mild around 1 bar but that is dyno tuning territory in my opinion . I think the PULP tune was pretty tame and until I added a fair bit of light load timing felt quite flat . 

I have heard this engine rattle twice in 10 years and 88000K so I highly doubt it'll go bang . Bores looked good at 90 and ~160K . At idle no breathing out the oil filler hole at all .

Like I said lets see other peoples E70/85 timing maps , and AFR target tables .

 

Appreciate that you're sharing the important bits.  Couple of constructive observations:

Your ECU interpolates between cells quite effectively.  The MAP row 95kpa on AFR target is largely redundant.  Looks nice, does very little IMO except divert attention.   I get the gist of the 115kpa row, but unless your logging shows that the engine often hovers around that point, and the fuel and ignition mapping is done to reflect/capitalise that, maybe not a lot to gain.

Similarly with the ignition map showing a row at 90kpa.  I take a pragmatic approach, and if logging shows you rush through that zone very quickly or don't actually spend "that much" time at that load point, don't add complexity to the map. Get rid of it.

You're on ethanol.  Add 3 degrees of timing across all cells from 140-200kpa (and play carefully).  If you're running decent advance sub 100kpa then quickly take it away as boost rises, it's going to feel flat.  You know it's going to need a dyno session with someone who is at least moderately competent at some point to get ignition right, across the full load range.

Run an AFR log or two, with steady accel, and then with decent throttle above 50 percent.  The data streams will show rate of change of throttle, boost, and accel enrichment + how closely actual AFR follows the target.  To say the accel enrich values "look big" could be mistakenly ignoring that it potentially needs more. 

Finally - Have an experienced driver who doesn't know your tune pedal the car in those situations, and get their honest impression about "feel" once it's tuned more satisfactorily.  It may be better than you're thinking, and over analysing the performance of an old car.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
