Remap Question!

[mardon]

Random question, I have had my car mapped to 98ron, will it harm it if I put in tesco 99?

Wow yous made 266 on 98 mode not 99+?? Nice!

Sure did, if you look at that graph I sent you it says mapped to 98. I have been using vpower mainly and tesco 99 last night. My friends 280bhp ST got a shock thats for sure

There is no problem to use better quality fuel.

Thanks

Do you mean 226 or 266?

226***

Well had my car Revo'd for 4k miles now, the clutch is slipping and the turbo is on the way out. Wouldn't recommend it TBH.

I keeed I keed,Its great you'll love it and save a few £££'s when you drive slow on the motorway too.

Guess im being a mong here. was that a p!ss take. not sure what "i keeed" means, i kid maybe?

hello mate. yousay you have 226Hp 218lbft of torque. that is 295NM, so 45NM over the DSG rating.

Do you reckon thats a little bit of dyno lottery with the torque? also does the box not limit the torque, idf so have you experienced any cuts?

 

[jc_boc]

I believe these boxes are rated to 300NM

 

[vRSy]

I believe these boxes are rated to 300NM

on what basis though. i thought guys were saying 250NM was what VAG had said the box was limited to

 

[jc_boc]

I was under the impression that was the torque it was running standard.......... I could be wrong however.

when talking to the local revo dealer. he said he has dsg upgrade. also, the dsg can hold more then 300nm. they do have an engine they test on. box can hold without damaging more then 350nm.

I think I need to get hold of reevo again hehehehehehehe

where is your local revo dealer. wasnt aware they had done DSG software for the 7 speed dry box. last time i checked it wasnt on their website

 

[srack]

i am not inside u.k...
quite far away ;-) around 7500km.
revo dealer here is also apr and upsolute dealer. the upgrade might be of one of them.
he offered me the dsg upgrade, but for 400gbp. didnt see a reason.
he does has a disassembled engine and gearbox.
most of his tests are done on a fr bocanegra 2010.

Does he have a website or anything we can look at regarding the DSG upgrade?

 

[jc_boc]

Yeah please. I am very interested in this.

 

[vRSy]

x2 im not disputing any of the info, but more interested in whats available and is it safe.

 

[jc_boc]

If gr_dude_cupra is running such high torque with out any issues I am pretty sure it should be fine then. These boxes are built to last alifetime from what I have found out and I am sure it should be good. the clutch has been my issue but as said, we are working on that.

 

[vRSy]

are the figures exaggerated through a generous dyno though . im not saying they are but some dynos give very high torque readings compared to others. so its not a case of 'it can handle 313NM because his does'.

I think the gearbox can handle more though, cant imagine them being so on the limit. VAG dont work that way, that's why they are always so tunable.

 

[jc_boc]

Agreed, VW always build their stuff to operate well below tolerance levels. I am confident I will see 270BHP and 300/315NM. I reckon I should be happy with that in this small car hehehehehehe
