hello folks,
I was all set to go shark performance after the recent episodes I have had with Revo.
My bluefin stage 2+ was only making 313bhp, so went to revo stage 2+, this produced 349bhp, but kept getting the engine light coming on with mixture rich on idle, lambda value -6.6 and 0.8. I went back to stock and got a refund from them.
I was booked in next weekat shark, but couldnt get the time off work, and Dave said he had one of his own stage 2 files that I could try on my car. I tried a version last week that felt awful, but he played about with the settings, and asked me if I wanted to try his revised version today.
So spent some time on the dyno today doing one of his custom remaps for me.
Eventually he was happy with the settings.
The map seems to way better than the superchips stage 2+map, there isnt the torque drop off aswell, and feels like it pulls from lower down the rev range, very smooth map. I would say it would be a hard choice between this and the Revo, and there is a big price difference aswell!
Only problem is that I seem to have a big fuel cut at around 3000rpm, so this must be causing my lower torque figures than the other companies produce. Looks like I might have to get a new oem HPFP, as I stripped mine down and reassembled it and evrything seemed tight and fine. or do I go down the autotech or apr route again.....
the first few runs were producing 310bhp and 300lbs/ft of torque, then the last few went up to 330bhp with the same torque figure somehow. I would have been happy with 310bhp on stage 2 anyway.
The lambda values with this map are 0.8 and 1.3, so seems very strange how it wasnt the revo software, but this map and the stock map they are running lean?
So looks like I'll have to decide on which HPFP to get, and a big thanks to Dave for sorting it out for me!
