Nope, no boost, I just want something in there that I know should work for a rotary.
The E6k map seemed like it was a bit lower. I sure wish I had a S4 turbo map that I know works good. And that gets me thinking that maybe I should try and power up my Microtech and see if I can get a snapshot of the spark map off of it.
With my modified CAS (ground of 2 teeth), how do I stab it like stock? Still on the third tooth?

gah! I didn't realize you cut the teeth. If that's the case, I'd leave everything the same... stab it on the 3rd tooth and use 1,3 7,9 with a 60 deg trigger angle.
If your timing is off after that, make sure that if you have a v3 board, the pots are set all the way counter clockwise, and make sure you have Tsel jumpered to vroutinv.

oops! haha....well I'll set everything back then tonight and restab anyways.
My pots don't stop turning so I just turned them till they started clicking. I'll open my MS up tonight and try and get them as close as I can without making them click. Tsel is jumpered to vroutinv.

ok, yeah you don't want them to click, there is actually a stopper, but you have to turn VERY gently to hit it without going past it and making it click.
If you properly restab and your potentiometers are set right, and you're using 1,3 7,9 as your settings, you should be able to get it to start and stay running once your fuel table is right.

Not sure what you guys are talking about, but you can clean dirty plugs. Spray "Scrubbing Bubbles" into a cup and drop your plugs in electrode first. Let em soak for 30 minutes, making sure to spray more in when the bubbles go away. Then take a wire brush to them. Works everytime for me.

Woo hoo!! She runs! It looks like I had multiple self induced faults both with my wiring harness and possibly corrupted firmware. I found I had 2 of my ignition output wires crossed and somehow got my CAS wires swapped too! Lesson learned: draw out your wiring diagrams! Anyway, she fires up quick with the VE table that the MS generated and Muy's NA ignition map. Timing looks dead on and the idle is nice and smooth. Now I've just got to wire up the LC-1, button everything up and then get to tuning. Thanks to everyone on this forum for helping me figure this out!
