looking good there mate! very tidy
just a couple of notes, i notice in your first software pic, you are at 101kpa, at what im guessing is idle revs? this should be in the range of 35-40kpa, as the 101kpa is atmospheric pressure (pretty much sea level), where i am in Ballarat, it is 96kpa or so, due to the higher altitude
i can think of only one reason for this abnormal reading, your MAP sensor line comes from the port on top of the throttle, this is closed at idle, so the vacuum advance module didnt add unwanted advance to the ignition at idle
since that is all taken care of by the ignition map now, you should choose a port that has vacuum at all times, in my setup, i have chosen one on the left hand side of the plenum, you might need to use a t piece
also your ignition map is 'interesting' lol, here is an example of one you might like to try as a starting point, i used it on my 3.5 and it was very smooth

it could use a little more vacuum advance, but sort that out on the dyno if ur not too confident, oh and change that 0 in the bottom right corner to 32 (i sourced this from LR4x4, very helpful forums)
Thanks JazzaD1
I will move the vac line to the other side of the plenum. I know the point your taking about. Thanks.
The map that I down loaded was the one supplied. Straight from the autosports web site I found out. (43 deg is a s***load of advance for a rover V8 LOL)
Thanks for the shot of your map, I will give it a try tomorrow, but will get it sorted on the dyno.
Thanks Gavin
43deg isnt necessarily too much, it depends on the location, in light cruise, and part throttle areas, it can really improve driveability and fuel economy to have more advance in those areas, as the engine isnt under any great load and needs a bit more advance to get a 'complete' burn, of course im simplifying here, but there is tons of information on both lr4x4 and msefi.com websites, although it can cause a headache after a while lol
Hi JazzaD1 & Gavin
interesting posts, I'm rebuilding a 4.6 for my RRC and want to use MegaSquirt for both the ignition (EDIS8) and for the fuel injection with wide band Lambda sensors. Its going to be a couple of months before I'm at the stage of setting that up but was wondering on your thoughts about the best system/vendor to use. EFIExtra sell the MSII, coil packs etc for a Rover V8 but Trigger Wheels also sell a complete package for the Rover V8 but with the MicroSquirt ECU instead of the MSII. From what I can work out the Microsquirt is a sub-type of MegasquirtII. So the question is which one should I get?
Thanks
Nick
yeah it is
