Revo Remaps

[mardon]

The problem with "live" mapping is how much R&D has gone into it? How much testing of different driving cycles has gone into the software? a Dyno will never be able to fully emulate real world conditions, all our software is tested for weeks/months before it's released to the public....it's just simply impossible for smaller companies to emulate this without loosing a lot of money!

Testing a car at full load on the Dyno is all well and good but isn't the whole story I’m afraid!

Hope this helps

Never thought of that before! It's a good point! Can your maps be tweeked to suit mods when they first go on?

all our MED17 software can be setup to suit the vehicle yes

Very unlikely, all the 2.0CR engines are using the Bosch EDC17 ECU's I would be very surprised if SEAT used a different engine all together

cool thanks for the quick answer

Would there be much gain on a 1.4 Ibiza SC Sport engine with these? Worth doing ?

 

[mardon]

Not a huge one. You need boost really.

I think a remap of a standard petrol engine is supposed to still make a noticeable difference (adds about 10 bhp from the results I looked at for a 1.8 Seat Leon but might be different for other cars) but probably not really worth the 2 or 3 hundred quid it would cost you and the increase in insurance. Maybe Carl from Revo can shed some light on how much difference it makes to a non turbo engine

 

[mardon]

Best gain in. NA cars is when you add exhaust, induction and possibly lary cams

yeah, then you can flow and port the heads and do a map after that and she should be sweet as hehehehehehehe. I would also add a nice fuel management system to the mix.

Diesel Revo Remaps

Forgive me for poluting this thread with dirty diesel talk but been on the Revo website and they have remaps for the 2.0l CR TDI as found in the new Golf GTD, Octavia etc, why no 1.6 CR TDI Revo??? Would be interesting to find out if these engines have more DPF issues with remap as well.

Also, imagine how fast the Ibiza TDI FR with a Revo remap would be!!

Ramble over, you can carry on with your petrol remap talk now

Think I may leave it standard and just buy a Cupra/Boc in a few years

Read the previous page of this thread
specifically this bit from Revo:
The 1.6cr uses a new seimens ECU, we're working on that as we speak not just "anti-tune" mesures i'm afraid!

I'll tell you what its like when I get mine done found out there is a Revo dealer quite near where I work so after I've had the Ibiza for a month or so I think I'll be taking it there to get them to work their magic on it

 

[DaBigDogg]

Sweet mate get it done and let us know! If I was gonna get an Ibiza now it would be the FR and I would defo get it revoed!

 

[chris128]

Someone mentioned to me today that you shouldn't get a car remapped before it has done 10,000 miles... is this the common belief or is it yet another unfounded 'tip' that people just basically make up and then tell everyone else?

 

[techie]

My fabia vrs was mapped with less than 1k on the clock and had a hybrid turbo on it before 5k. Lol

mate has it now, 90k on the clock and still going strong.

 

[Daryld]

Must have been a beast techie

 

[mardon]

Some one buy me a revo please! Those 370z's are a lot faster than I thought!!
