V-power to BP Ultimate with Revo

[satilaboy]

I originally posted in the REVO section but didn't muster much of a response.

I'm looking for some info regarding swapping from V-power to BP ultimate.


When I had REVO stage 1 installed last September I was asked if I used Optimax/V-Power

I had used both BP ultimate and optimax/V-power till then and found i got better mpg and a smoother idle and generally smoother feel from ultimate.

I Have always used V-power/optimax since the remap but i'm now thinking of going back to BP Ultimate as I'm moving house and getting to a Shell garage will be a pain in the @rse.

With Revo is the ecu mapped specifically for V-Power???). Or all 98 ron fuel ?? (i think tesco some 98 (99?) ron unleaded???)

so, to get to the point:
With BP Ultimate being 97 ron will i experience any issues (performance, economy, idle or anything) if i use it instead of v-power?

will i require a visit to my revo dealer to have the map tweaked before switching to ultimate? and would they charge for ammending it?


cheers in advance.

I can't see it making a huge difference but I would make a phone call to Revo and ask the question mate, they will give you the most accurate answer.

It wont be mapped to the individual fuel... fuel doesn't have a certain flavour, or something so unique that anything else simply wont work!

It will be mapped to a higher RON rating, so any fuel that offers something similar or greater will be fine. So your car isn't mapped for VPower... it's mapped for 97+RON fuel, which means VPower, Ultimate and Tesco 99RON is all good

What ever the map is set to the car will adjust to the slightly different types of fuel used.

It will be safe.

ideal. I knew the car wouldn't explode but just wondered if i'd need revo tweaked. Next fill up will be BP Ultimate.

cheers.
