What Are Your Revo Settings?

....

I think that Revo assume V-Power is used and tune accordingly.

I'm not saying that Tesco 99 isn't up to it though and I expect that it's the octane which is important.

Actually, if you speak to Revo, they will tell you that Tesco 99 is their fuel of choice, because it is a lot more stable than V-Power, and that this was particularly apparent during hot weather.  When they were developing maps using V-Power, they said they basically had to rewrite the code for every new tank of V-Power, whereas with Tesco 99, they didn't need to.

I would strongly recommend you switch to Tesco 99 - if it is available in your locality.

Ah well, V-Power is certainly good enough and my loyalties have always been with Shell.

Are you sure, I remember the exact opposite.. Tesco 99 is pretty inconsistent, sometimes its great, other times its pretty poor.. V-Power you know what your getting every time..

....That's how I know it too and I've just checked with Revo themselves for clarification : -

Their first recommendation is V-Power, followed by BP Ultimate. They know that some people report good results with Tesco 99 but currently they don't highly rate its consistency. Once upon a time, back in the day, Shell Optimax was inconsistent.

That's from the horse's mouth, Teutonic_Tamer, so I just don't see where you get your info from.

Tossco fuel has a very high proportion of E85, it gets them a fiddle on the duty thus making more profit. Oh, and its crap.

Always run shell v power on mine

[Hurdy]

REVO set my car at 9-6-9 with the full set of engine support mods and V-Power.

[luca]

9-6-9 must be awesome, mine is at 8-6-9 and is running fast as fook at the minute, even in the hot weather . Also the car showed no correction factors on these settings after loads of runs on the road with the revo dealer and his logging equipment

They use Toluene to boost the figures.. Pretty nasty stuff.. You can really smell it if you use that fuel..

Ahh yes, its Tolly, my mistake - I knew it was something that wasn't really that good for your motor... or living things for that matter, Superduper carcinegenic stuff that - wouldn't want it on my skin

....Yes, Tesco aka Tossco 99's additives are what Revo mentioned as scoring minus points.

How do you find out your Revo settings?? I'm guessing you have to go to your Revo dealer...!? My car came with Revo so I have no clue as to what it's actually set at... is it free to check?

[gazbutS3]

anyone with a laptop and select switch could check it

[SteveS]

i was running at 8 5 9, but taken it to 7 5 9 because of this stupid cel light.

i want more power but dont know what to do about it, not sure if there is maybe something wrong because the RR only showd 305bhp/282lbs, others are well into 300s for torque.. :s

I got my info DIRECTLY  from Revo, at GTI International - speaking to them face to face.  The definately said that Tesco 99 was more stable than V-Power!
