Timing pull and injector duty cycle

Cool, thanks. Can fuel pressure be logged with vagcom?
I'll see if I can get those other blocks logged soon.
no you cant log fuel pressure in vagcom.. there is no fuel pressure sensor on 1.8t
logs will indirectly see whats occuring..
need physical gauge to check

OK, finally managed to get some logs done on Saturday. I've recently change the FPR for another 3-bar one and changed the fuel filter. IDCs still peaking about 99% though. Blocks 001, 031 and 118 as you suggested Bill, I also logged 002, 020 and 115. I've added calculated AFR based on the actual lambda reading on the first log and I've added a calculated injector duty cycle column to the second one, using (on-time x RPM) / 1200 as the formula (that's right isn't it?)
Lambda corrections look good to me, barring a bit of extra fuel when it comes on boost. The peak MAF reading is down 10g/s from the last time I logged so I did wonder if that was out, but that would show up in either or both of the lambda sensor readings and lambda corrections. As I said I've changed the fuel filter and FPR, only things left would be the injectors and the pump I guess?

i use this to quickly reference IDC
http://www.stealth316.com/2-calc-idc.htm
to drop IDC you need to up fuel pressure or fit larger injectors..
001 is'nt finding itself having to add much fuel, which if fuel pump/pressure was sagging I would expect to see..

Ok so that's the correct calculation then, (IPW x RPM) / 1200 = Injector Duty Cycle? That's the same right across the rev range?
I see your point about how a tired pump would also show up in the lambda corrections so I guess that rules that out. So am I right in saying it just looks like the map is expecting almost as much as the injectors, pump and FPR are capable of providing?
I did ask Revo if the map (stage 1 linear) was able to support bigger injectors but they said no - they also reckoned the IDCs for that map should be somewhere nearer 85% on stock hardware and suggested there could be something wrong with my fuelling system.
So I guess my options are either replace the pump for a stronger one and fit a 4-bar FPR, or just notch the boost back a notch or two with the SPS switch until the IDCs are back within sensible limits?

you could lob larger injectors in, or 4bar it to drop IDC... and lemmiwinks/unisettings 15% primary fuel back out as crude scaler.
that will adjust the whole scales on revo/any code
does'nt explain why, but is a diy fix/band_aid for you

The car dyno'd at 286.6bhp last time. I agree the airflow looks a little low, I'm running the timing setting on the SPS at 4 though, and I've seen higher airflow in the past. Last lot of logs showed peak airflow at 217g/s. Could be cos I've run three blocks at once it's missed some higher airflow figures at the top end maybe?
Looking at my lambdas too, air/fuel seems to go down as far as 11.7:1, isn't that quite rich, even for Revo? Maybe the dealer set it up to run a bit richer than it needs to be?
fueling is'nt adjustable in revo on 1.8t
timing and boost only
if 286bhp was matching the 217g/s then you have your answer re IDC's
Now the question you have to ask yourself is, IF the IDC is max'd and the 920'c egt threshold for protection kicks in, where does the extra fuel dump fuel come from? max'd injectors..

I know I can't adjust fuel level with the SPS but I wondered if the dealer maybe had a little leeway on that - guess not.
So the answer being that the map is just asking for all that the fuelling system can give, is that right? If so then I either need to increase pressure/flow, or reduce boost in SPS to leave some headroom in the IDCs?

dealer cant change anything more than you can via SPS..
more pressure less IDC's and correct via adj fuel trims in lemmi/uni like I said earlier
Fresh LCR one is adequate.
unless you have checked fuel pressure for holding 3bar +boost how/WHY are you thinking about replacing it?
The 001 trims are'nt suggesting pressure drop off as said...
Measure it to confirm is my advise.

Cos someone posted at the top of page 2 and suggested that running a 4-bar FPR may kill the stock pump. You said yourself it would be a temporary measure, so I figured you meant not running a 4bar FPR long-term on the standard pump. I know of one guy with an AMK engine car locally that killed his stock pump running a 4bar FPR too, but then I know of others who've been running fine like that for a while.
I priced up a new Pierburg pump for an LCR for £210 from Eurocarparts, for that sort of money I figured I may be as well fitting something uprated.
In any case, I think I'm going to try turning the boost down a notch and logging again. I also get a slight flutter when hitting full boost on WOT in taller gears so reckon I need to pull it back for that reason. If that brings IDCs down far enough then I'll just leave it like that.
