REVO Stage 2
« on: April 23, 2010, 02:41:17 pm »
Ok so I've got REVO stage 1 software at the moment, and recently added full TBE Milltek and a Dbilas intake, which have both made a difference after adding to the basic stage 1, easpecially the TBE.

Anyway what sort of difference am I going to notice just upgrading the software to stage 2 on top of this?

I know its only £50 but I don't want to spend it if theres no need - anyone made this upgrade?

im shark performance not revo

however my car is now on stage 1 after previously being stage 3, then as mods were removed downgraded to stage 2 and then woith all mods on i went back to stage 1.

the thing i noticed is from low revs the stage 1 pulls like a horse but tails off extremely quickly in comparison to stage 2 and especially stage 3(revo stage 2+).

the way i see it, the stage 1 gives you the feeling that your car is fast with its initial surge, however the stage 2 spreads that torque out over an even wider power band, meaning the car doesnt feel as quick initially however it is way more progressive and the torque doesnt tail off like stage 1 either so the car pulls stronger and for longer.

100% worth the 50 quid extra

For me the stage 2 map was so much better, far better and easier to apply the power, the power is very linear on stage 2 rather than a big wallop.  :happy2:

Best £50 squid spent so far.  :smiley:

what remap is that and what rolling road was that, Hp is way up on what a stage 2 would put out, and torque is mega low for what you would expect.

oops typo.

it was at amd essex.

its not way out on what others with the same kind of setup are seeing with the blueflame exhaust, i assume that 3" pipe really helps.

it was 360lbft and 348hp (give or take a bit obviously) the graph is in my build thread

I think a couple of comments on here have sold me, not for the headline figures but more for the power delivery. I could have had it done when the milltek went on but wanted to appreciate each mod one at a time.

As for the fuel pump well the car is fast enough now. Not having driven it more than 20 miles in the last 2 weeks I haven't really had a chance to enjoy it. Better get out soon while the weather still dry I suppose. :party:

As already said stage 2 is smooth and progressive, a nice map  :happy2:

350bhp is a bit  :embarrassed: in my opinion though, I wouldnt expect to see that ...

Don't want to get involved in BHP claims I've resisted to date not to put the car on the rollers yet as I could probably get anywhere between 280 -350 depending on which one you believe. Although I am tempted purely to see if the cars is running right :evilgrin:

the best way to compare cars is either to do a RR day to compare in gear acceleration times.

that is comparable to other stage 2 k04 cars that have been on AMDs rollers so i wouldnt worry about it, as long as you continue to use their rollers for future runs, cos if you use DD rollers you might lose quite a few of those HP/Ibft figures :happy2:.
