The big switch over. APR to REVO
« on: October 20, 2010, 05:35:11 pm »
Well, after a good chat with Mark at Awesome I have decided to switch over to Revo this Friday. The car is presently running APR stage 2+ software on a K03.  Soon find out if I still think APR's K03 software is the best. We will be doing a before and after RR as well which should be interesting as I don't know if anyone has done this before going from one company to another.
I will at first be running Revo's default settings to see what happens. Then we might have a play with the sps+ and change a few things. :happy2:
Any suggestions to the settings I should try? The spec of the hardware is as follows.
K03 turbo
APR exhaust
APR fuel pump
Dbilas intake
Standard intercooler (soon to be changed)
I also only run the car on Vpower.
Your thoughts please :laugh: :happy2:

id be very interested in seeing the before and after graphs.  im yet to have seen a stage 2+ k03 graph in the UK.  Get them to overlay the graphs on one printout if you can then you can compare the curves

9 5 8 for me.  Ran boost 8 for a while, but 9 is smoother imo.  Would be good to see the differences from APR to Revo.   :happy2:

Anyone know the default settings for the K03 stage 2+
Ie is it something like 6 4 9.  Also, to the people who posted their settings above, could you tell me how you came to your conclusions to the settings you have used.

Thanks

Steve

I think what's being left out here is the ecu will have to adapt to the new coding so absolute numbers at this RR session isn't the full story.

And as for the revo default for the 2+, it's B8 T6 F8 on V Power.
Without traction power is nothing!

but the reflash will reset all the adaptions so it will only be minimal surely?

On stage one mine is running B6 F9 T6.  This is the default stage one setting i am told.  Think the numbers work differently on stage 2 cars

It did cross my mind about the adaption and I will make this clear when I post up the results.  As for the timing default being 6 on K03 stage 2+ that surprises me a little as I havn't come across many cars, here and America, that run timing that high on pump fuel even though looking a the sps+ user guide suggests you can. :confused:

Dealers should set the cars to what they are capable of rather than just giving you the default settings.  I map then log all the cars then adjust the boost, timing and fule settings to optimum.  Just remember to run V-Power or Tesco 99 on all TFSi cars.

'Performance' mode on the SPS switch is B6 T5 F9 iirc.  The ABC settings are user adjustable and best left to dealers or VCDS owners who know whats what.  Stage 1 cars always run fuel 9.  Only cars with the HPFP upgrade should change this setting.

I find it odd that any Revo dealer would just load the map then send you on your way.  :confused:
