The car is running and I'm now starting the tuning process after a Microsquirt fuel only install.
This is a 125 HP vehicle and the best I can do on the MAP is 47kpa absolute at 13.5 AFR at 950 rpm.
I think this equates to 16" hg.
Am I correct?

Messing around with the VE table and waiting on a rs232/USB adaptor so I can tune on the road. The table generated appears to be ok after changing a few figures.

not quite right...
check your ign advance, IIRC the stock setup (86.5mm bore and stock cam 9.3:1comp) should yield somewhere around 17"-20, might be a vaccum leak otherwise...

see here:

Using your calculator I should get nearly 60kpa to get 17" which is wrong.
60 kpa is worse vacuum than the 47 kpa I get now.

0kpa = 30 inches of mercury not 100 kpa.
ATM = 100 kpa

Doing some research I think I need some ign advance.

yeah sorry, calc is naff, did you see RC's post at the bottom... 45kpa equates to 16.63"hg in engine terms, so bees dick away from 17"-20"hg range...
i'd still check advance timing and check for leaks, but it's certainly driveable according to raceboy's comment...

this is probably a better scale using KPA abs where 0 kpa = 100% vacuum

40-50 kpa at idle with 924 is quite normal. I have had exactly this on pretty much all 2.0 engines I have installed EFI on. On my Gulf there has been ~70 kPA due to ITB's lol

I have -0.5bar(below atmosferic) with a cold engine and -0.6bar with a warm engine on my red 924 turbo. That sounds about the same what you have.

Adjusted the timing today and is now at 42kpa (-58kpa)
Will take it for a run as I think it is too advanced and might ping a bit.
I set the Map so the gauge read the current atm pressure.
Low setting specs are hard to get for a GM 1 bar MAP.
