Hey all,

Playing around with my AVC-R today and noticed that at idle...it says that injector duty cycle is at 86% or something. Anyways, when you rev it, it goes down...say to 80%.

After this I took the car out and after driving I hit the "peak" button and it said that it peaked at 90%...wtf?

I don't get how this function works!

can anyone help me?

Yeh im interested in hearing responses to this.

Im not sure but i think it has something to do with the installation. When installed it can be wired two different ways, yours like mine has been wired so that the injector duty cycle function does not operate correctly.

As i understand it this means we can use our AVCR for another function, i think speedometer, when those who have it wired to show duty cycle cannot accurately gauge road speed.

Me thinks????

i remember talking to my tuner about it. he said he can either set it up in such a way that...to control boost u can either do it by duty cycle or revs.

which is better.....and if it aint connected (which im not sure about) why is it showing a reading?

your tuner is right. one of the wires either connects to the rpm or the injector duty wire from the ecu.

connecting the wire to monitor injector duty was just that, monitor only. but if you connect the wire to the rpm, you can also use the other features such as gear based boost or different boost levels according to revs, as well as monitor revs. mines connected to monitor revs but i dont use gear learning, gear spcific boost, etc.

the part where you can adjust duty cycle is nothing to do with the reading of injector duty cycle.

eg/ mines set to 1bar with a duty cycle of 50%. at full throttle, this keeps me at about 1.00bar with small spikes no more than 1.05bar. putting duty cycle to 48-49% only gets me boosting a max of 0.95bar.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
