The MegaSquirt Project has experienced explosive growth other the years, with hundreds of new MS installations occurring every week - a phenomenal success! MegaSquirt has been successfully used in all aspects of Internal Combustion engine applications including R&D, Industry, Race, and Research. The MS project has transformed itself from a simple R&D project into a full-featured mature engine control system. To reflect this the support structure has also changed to meet the needs of MegaSquirt Users.
Moving forward, the R&D forums for MegaSquirt project are in a read-only mode - no new forum posts are accepted.
However the forums will remain available for view, they still contain a wealth of information on how MegaSquirt works, how it is installed and used. Feel free to search the forums for information, facts, and overview. While the R&D forum traffic has slowed in recent years, this is not at all a reflection of Megasquirt users, which continue to grow year after year. What has changed is that the method of MegaSquirt support today has rapidly moved to Facebook, this is where the vast majority of interaction is happening now. For those not on Facebook the msextra forums is another place for product support. Finally, for product selection assistance, all of the MegaSquirt vendors are there to help you select a system, along with all of the required pieces to make it complete.
This forum is for discussing ignition setup, tuning, and troubleshooting for MicroSquirt (TM)

Hi
The Ignition Map Configurator has allready been tested at a Danish tuning forum, however it would be much appriciated to have some of your oppinions as well.
I am looking for comparison with existing well working maps or just reviews from start-up experience with the Configurator. Please note that it is not made to give an "over-retarded-100%-knock-safe" spark table, but rather an average tuned startup-map.
When giving feedback please list your engine setups as chosen in the configurator.
Thank you in advance
/Jakob

ive got a 20 vavle turbo engine from an audi a3 i need to make a spark map but cannot find all the info needed plus i have 5 valves per cylinder your configurator only goes to 3
You dont have to worry about your max advance or idle advance the configurator will tell you. Look at the input range cells which are to copied/transfered into the dropdown list boxes. You only need to tell which engine setup you have in step no. 2. Hereafter all numbers are given to you.
You can set whatever bar/kpa margins you want at the spark table. It will do the right calculation automatically based on your engine setup. Just swift the bar dropdown value and the Kpa value will follow (Bar*100) + 100 = Kpa) and you will se the change in retard/advance.
compresion is 9.5:1
bore size 81mm
stroke 81mm
cc 1781
Look at step 2 here:
You will need to fill in all of them and hereafter transfer the input to the dropdown list in step 3. Hereafter you have your ignition map. Some may want to go 1 bar/200 kpa in pressure others 1.5 bar/250 kpa and with different bar/kpa margins. You can change this as much as you want and automatically have ignition map for these pressure margins vs. rpm. in step 4
