Of course 100% is equal to the injectors being open all the time, as they ARE open through all of the four phases. We are talking about duty cycle here.
This is where we clearly use different definitions, perhaps because VCDS/VAG-Com use another definition compared to what I'm used to.
You say "So at 7000 rpm, 17.14ms injector on time is 100% duty cycle" which is absolutely correct, but these 17.14 ms injector time is what is available per stroke, not necessarily meaning that you automativcally want to spray in all strokes?
Why would you want to continue to spray another 17.14 ms in the compression stroke, and then another 17.14 ms in the combustion stroke and then finally another 17.14 ms in the exhaust stroke?
Furthermore, if you adjust the trigger/starting point of the injection to slightly before TDC between the exhaust stroke and intake stroke, you can have more injector time than 17.14 ms, and this will provide higher duty cycles than 100%, at least i my experience.
Here is a defenition I'm more familiar with.
http://www.igotasti.com/vBforum/showthread.php?661-Injector-Duty-Cycle-explainedTo put it as simply as I can, IDC is how much of the intake stroke the injector is firing and is represented in % of intake stroke. The IPW is how long the injector is actually open and is represented in milliseconds. So if your intake stroke lasts for 20ms and your IPW is 22ms, then your resulting IDC will be 110%Using your logic, the injector would be on all the time, also during the second stroke (first + second stroke equals one crank shaft revolution) with a total of 34.28 ms...
This way (when you say that the injectors are on all the time through all strokes) would mean (to me) that we have an injector duty cycle of 34.28/17.14 = 200% which is why I'm a bit hesitant in beleiving that ME7 actually squirts fuel during all phases.
This is also why IDC's actually can be over 100% if you want to.
If we continue with your logic, would 80% dc @ 7000 rpms mean that the injectors would fire for 13.8 ms, then pause for 3.3 ms, wait for the compression stroke and then fire for another 13.8 ms, pause for 3.3 ms until the compression stroke begins, then fire again for 13.8 ms and so on through all strokes or is "fireing through all strokes as you say" just valid for dutycycles of a 100%?
If we had a dutycycle of 20%, what would be the benefit in squirting some fuel in other strokes than intake or are you saying that ME7 basically doesn't care which stroke it is in when it comes to fueling as long as the timing is correct regarding TDC and BDC, it just fires away regardless...? I find this hard to beleive although I might be mistaken of course.
