Thanks for good info, I can try explain how you can get exact factor for °CD for your exact car.
You need good diagnostic software (e.g. for peugeot PP2000), best is manufacturer specific diagnostic.
Start your car, and using diagnostics look for real time injection timing values, start of injection and injection.. whatever you need, write down angles you see for some specific rpm-s.. then go to your map and look what value represents it.
For example
29°BTDC in my case was
1150 value in maps so calculate like this:
1/(
1150/
29) = 0,025217..
this is my factor diagnostic software used to interpret crankshaft sensor data.
Had I used obscure factor it would not be 29°but 27° BTDC, at end of day it does not matter as long as you use same factors for SOI, DOI and EOI calculation.
IMHO, VAG concern uses 0.0234375 factor, and VAG is most tuned so it could be source of this obscurity..
