Modified PULP map and I don't do the 4500 + . The reason the light load areas are so advanced is because that's where it seems to make best part throttle torque , on E70 . Not spiking now . I will agree the timing is mild around 1 bar but that is dyno tuning territory in my opinion . I think the PULP tune was pretty tame and until I added a fair bit of light load timing felt quite flat . 

I have heard this engine rattle twice in 10 years and 88000K so I highly doubt it'll go bang . Bores looked good at 90 and ~160K . At idle no breathing out the oil filler hole at all .

Like I said lets see other peoples E70/85 timing maps , and AFR target tables .

 

Appreciate that you're sharing the important bits.  Couple of constructive observations:

Your ECU interpolates between cells quite effectively.  The MAP row 95kpa on AFR target is largely redundant.  Looks nice, does very little IMO except divert attention.   I get the gist of the 115kpa row, but unless your logging shows that the engine often hovers around that point, and the fuel and ignition mapping is done to reflect/capitalise that, maybe not a lot to gain.

Similarly with the ignition map showing a row at 90kpa.  I take a pragmatic approach, and if logging shows you rush through that zone very quickly or don't actually spend "that much" time at that load point, don't add complexity to the map. Get rid of it.

You're on ethanol.  Add 3 degrees of timing across all cells from 140-200kpa (and play carefully).  If you're running decent advance sub 100kpa then quickly take it away as boost rises, it's going to feel flat.  You know it's going to need a dyno session with someone who is at least moderately competent at some point to get ignition right, across the full load range.

Run an AFR log or two, with steady accel, and then with decent throttle above 50 percent.  The data streams will show rate of change of throttle, boost, and accel enrichment + how closely actual AFR follows the target.  To say the accel enrich values "look big" could be mistakenly ignoring that it potentially needs more. 

Finally - Have an experienced driver who doesn't know your tune pedal the car in those situations, and get their honest impression about "feel" once it's tuned more satisfactorily.  It may be better than you're thinking, and over analysing the performance of an old car.

    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
