bye bye revo hello custom map

[chillcupra]

Well I am now booked in at bell autos to get a custom map on me car. They are highly recommended. I have had revo since feb and although its very good i just feel the power delivery top end is poorer and not very smooth. Some people may disagree with me but i feel a custom map will be able to exploit the power of the car more.

and all them posts you wasted swearing bye it lol, how much is that setting you back and figures too

 

[chillcupra]

I do love revo however Its costing about 250 quid which is excellent. No figures yet. Its getting done next friday

 

[BEOWULF]

not be funny here m8
but that seams a waste of money to me i know it your money but do u think u could do something better like putting it towards a uprated clutch or something.

 

[paul26982]

id have went custom in the first place tbh, post ya figures up when its done im very intrested

 

[ice maiden]

good call mate.....thats the way i am gonna be heading real soon.....for me Revo just aint all its cracked up to be!!!!!!

 

[chillcupra]

Agreed. I have found out the expensive way. Uprated clucth is comming after xmas.

Dont forget diesels arent gonna pull top end due to the small turbo...

Mine is an LCR not a diesel.....

^^^^^^ im talking about phil, who is changing the map because it doesnt pull hard over a ton...

 

[paul26982]

mine pulls ok i think at top end, sounds good for 250, could have got mine done this week for 200 notes off a fella from london, does them for mill garage and was up but hadnt the money this week

 

[chillcupra]

not just top end other factors aswell.

Judging by your sig you have a dyno plot of your REVO power output. I'd be very interested to see what differance in profile is achieved from a 'custom' remap. Are you planning to return to the same RR for comparison?

 

[chillcupra]

Yes I will do. However i am very suspicous of that rrd accuracy?

Assuming that they operate in basically the same way when you return, then the shape of the curves should be comparable; even if the absolute values aren't accurate.

This should allow you to see where the differances in power delivery between the two maps are.

frustratingly for you if you get it done... you can't go back - so potentially you could have waster 750....

I think that you would want to log your existing setup prior to deciding it can be done better to see if you've maxxed out your existing setup (turbo/IC)

 

[paul26982]

if i was to get a custom map id do the mods first then the map, thats why its taking so long to get mine done

would be interested to see the results, cant see it being much better than revo tho?

you be paying 250 quid for what 1-2bhp and 5lbs of torque?

more clutch wear more smoke. won't make a difference to top end it'll still be slow over 120mph, with 190-200bhp and 4500rpm

hope it work out nicely for you,

BRAIN WAVE!!!

WHY DON'T YOU SELL PART EXCHANGE YOUR REVO ECU WITH ANOTHER 150PD AND THE SECOND REMAP WILL PAY FOR ITSELF!!

good idea, what deal you want phil
