High Timing pull and rich AFR

[POPOV]

For some time now i have been searching the internet for the cause of my high timing pull and rich AFR.
I noticed some hesitation after a remap in 4th, 5th and 6th gear and checked what was going on with my vag-com.
Asking Seat for help is not worth it as i have no fault codes at all, they are incompetent of trouble shooting a car without a fault code

Car is a Seat Leon Cupra 2008 and hardware specification is as below

• Stage 2+

• 3" DP with 100 cell race cat

• 3" sport cat back exhaust

• ITG intake

• Autotech HPFP

• New BKR7EIX 2667 spark plugs

This are 4:th gear pulls, outside temperature was about 14 C .

Maybe take a look at your partial fuel trims - block 032

Logged channel 32 after resetting the adaptation and driving more than 20 minutes. Idle was showing -2,4% and the partial 0,4% all in the recommended limits.

 

[POPOV]

Driving the car normally keeps both AFR and timing pull at normal levels, issue is only at full throttle.

Remove the Intake and retest.

Remove the Intake and retest.

Have been thinking about doing that. What is your thought behind it?
Issue is my original engine top is not available anymore, maybe just try without intake piping and filter. Just keep the ITG maf housing, will i damage the engine or turbo running without?

 

[Poverty]

Some cars don't seem to like intakes for some reason.
My friend fitted a ITG to his s3 and it ran like ****, never ever seen a 2.0tfsi run so badly under load, and it was a brand new car. Never got to the bottom of it he just sold the car.

Have you tried running with the MAF disconnected?

 

[POPOV]

Yes, had the MAF unplugged and timing pull got even worse.
Looking at my maf values they look good, so maf should be good.
From my logs i can detect that the car goes into EGT protective mode pushing the AFR to rich levels. But as the timing pull also goes bad it must be that input to the engine before the cylinders is messing up things.
Could be Intake as you say or maybe maf sensor.
If not i am thinking about coilpacks and injectors .

pressure valve? A few guys have upgraded to the RS4 one.....

pressure valve? A few guys have upgraded to the RS4 one.....

I have logged the requested and actual fuel rail pressure and the difference is all good. No more than 3 mbar difference and at full throttle up on actual 130 mbar .
Check post 2 above for the logs on fuel rail pressure.
Note, that i have the same bad numbers in the stock mode.

Thought about the Intake temp, maybe as i have closed down the OEM air intake path from the front of the grill i do not get enough cold air into the engine bay. But logging the manifold intake temp shows me usually no more than 35C at full throttle according to my memory. Could extreme intake heat cause this behavior ...
That is maybe why i have so high EGT .

What Revo settings are you using to get these numbers?

Above numbers are done with settings B8 T5 F5 .

I was running F9 before but after a phone call to REVO HQ i was convinced that running F5 would be better .
It did not make the AFR more rich, instead pushed my maf readings up by 10g/s and car feels better but still not good timing numbers and AFR.

I didn't see those settings above. What happens if you lower boost?

Same crap =( I have tested with low timing and low boost as well. Same issue in stock mode.

Between changes of settings i always do the basic settings reset of channel 60.

I've never fully understood the fuel setting (sorry if this is going off topic)...

When my car was on stage2+ it was on 9 pretty much all the time and right now it is on 6...working okay though.

You need to remove the ITG and remove Revo file off the ecu and go back to stock and do your testing from there

Would it not be enough to just use the SPS and run stock mode?
What is the difference between stock mode and removing the Revo file completely?

Looking at my logs we can see that the EGT protection mode kicks in about 2500 RPM, that is when the ECU will push in more fuel to lower temps avoiding damage to the turbo. I have been notified that the ECU should not start to do this before 900C, on my logs about 2500 rpm i am only on about 800C .

Am i logging wrong group for EGT?
Can other factors activate the EGT protection mode as timing pull?
