Revo stock isnt stock????????????
« on: January 22, 2011, 05:14:49 pm »
With the faulkt code that keeps appearing since I got the Revo map. I decided to strip my oem pump down to check it, and put the standard internals back in just to rule that part out of the equation.
I switched the Revo back to stock and I did some data logging to check if it made any difference.
Checking the logs I noticed it was still requesting 129.9 bar of pressure from the fuel pump?
So the assumption that the stock map isnt stock was quite a suprise. So if there was a slight niggle in the map file that I got, even switching back to stock wouldnt even rule that factor out, as essentially it must just be revo on low settings? is this true? Timing pull and fuel pressure is nasty for a stock map :confused:

Once you have Revo, you loose your factory oem map. Thats fact.

The stock setting in REVO software is supposed to be a REVO incarnation of a stock map.  Not ideal if it makes more power than it should.

Revo's 'stock' map setting is really just like APR's 'valet' map and is just an option to use in emergency or if a less experienced driver is borrowing the car.

No-one except experienced drivers I already know and trust get permission to drive my car and so I only use Revo's stock map for nursing the car if there's a problem such as when I had a boost leak.

What exactly is the problem with Revo's 'stock' map? [in plain English, not gooblygook data charts, please]

Well thats me not going over 2000rpm until I put the pump back in :sad1: :sad1:
I would have thought they might have reduced the fuel pressure for a 'stock' map :stupid:
Guess I'll just have to plod on changing various parts until I find the answer then.
I hope its not the map since I cant go back to a 'stock' file.

No its a brand new select unit from JKM, £126 on special offer!

Revo's stock map exists so people can turn the map off when it goes in for a service.

And you are right as far as stock isnt really a fully standard map, to go fully stock you need to go back to a Revo dealer and have your original factory file reflashed.

Your map is the latest software version available, it has the full correction for the lambda delete.

A quick update on the Audi we discussed, found the joint from the standard intake to the turbo was leaking, so checked my own intake as I was getting the same fault code and mine was leaking as well due to a split rubber.

So go check your intake where it joins the turbo :wink:

I havent got the high pressure fuel pump in, but is still requesting 130bar of fuel pressure, the standard pump can only make 110ish.
I spent 4 hours yesterday Dave checking the intake, various hoses, pipes, doing fuel pump etc etc. wish is was as simple as that hose :stupid:

....Depends where you go for a service but yes, probably useful for most people.

Isn't its most useful aspect switching to stock before a VW software update at a VW dealer?

Just got off the phone with Revo, and that log cant be from a car in stock mode as its requesting 2000+mb of boost.

What setting are you using on the switch when trying to revert to stock mode?
