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)

I am trying - I am good with physical stuff but the timing stuff confuses me so I hope everyone can bear with me.
OK, so i looked at the export .vex file and it doesn't correlate to the spreadsheet, i.e. an advance of 30 KPA at 800 RPM is 31 degrees doesn't equal a similar value in the .vex files.
Hey, I thought I would help you out and added the conditional statements for the boosted area. You meant the max the angle should retard to should be half the 100 kpa angle, correct?

blueman803 - right, the amount of retard in timing shouldn't be more that 1/2 of the ignition advance at 100 KPA.
