Remaping a cupra

[robjnr]

I haven't purchased a cupra yet but i am on the look out for one,

When i do get my hands on one i will probably remap it but there seems to be some many tuning companys out there and lots of different remaps,

What are the differences between, superchips (bluefin), revo, custom code, apr? p-torque, etc..

What sort of power do they run on stage 1 and do you have to modify the car in anyway or can you put a stage 1 straight on?

Also is there any in gear acceleration times for a stage1 and stage2, and what sort of psi do stage1 and 2 run?

Sorry for all the questions

Just looking at Jabbasport, and they offer a generic remap and a custom one, are jabba remaps any good?

if you plan on going the whole hog with your car ie further than stage 1 go for revo or giac.

stage 1 can be run on a standard car.

Revo stage 1 is usually between 310-315hp.

Whos map has the straightest torque curve, i've seen a few revo's graphs and they look like they only spike then drop drastically

you can change the settings with revo ie boost, timing and fuel so some people may have aggresive settings which explains the spike others more progressive nice tourque curve depends how you like it.

How easy it is to change the settings? and would a novice like me be able to do it?

as said must be settings. The curve im personal with is beatuiful and consistent

Changing settings is easy but I dont quite understand why people would want to stray away from the tried and tested generic maps available from revo

 

[robjnr]

are there any in gear times? like 30-70 in 3rd? or 50-100 in 4th or 60-100.

There are a lot of in gear times for Revo's stage 2+ K1 in the June edition of Performance car mag.

Obviously this is above the stage you are looking at but it will give you some idea of the potential on offer.

Torque on Revo stage 1 running fairly high boost is huge, the car pulls like a train in all gears. This will give some impressive in gear times.

Its dead easy but get some advice from Revo or on here first - to make the most of the car!

Can you get hlod of the setting s anywere as mine are all set to 6 if this makes sense from my revo stg 1 read out?

Do you have a mk1?

If so i'm not sure how the settings work on there as i believe they differ slightly to the mk2. Best check with revo, boost at 6 i think is standard performance setting, timing at 6 is quite high - will need good fuel. Not sure on fuel setting on yours and whether it can be altered.

I'm not going to be able to get a copy so could someone post the times pleaseeee

I will be looking at getting stage 2 as with most stage's you will always get 'used' to the power and will be looking for more and more, i will be getting stage 1 first though.

A few here as there were loads,

3rd gear
30-50 2s
40-60 2s
50-70 2.1s

4th Gear
50-70 2.6s
60-80 2.7s
80-100 3.3s

I personally find the adjustabilty of Revo very good as it lets you optimise the car depending on what hardware mods you have, fuel you are useing and of course the climate you're in.

What mods has this car got other than stage 2

I believe Revos K1 was running a full Milltek turbo back exhaust, ITG panel filter, Autotech hpfp - thats the engine mods anyway.

 

[Adam's Cupra]

Im Revo stage one
boost/throttle 7
Timing 5
Air Fuel Ratio 9

It goes well, once rolling its a tiny bit faster than my mates WRX Sti..

Luke, you sound like you know about the Revo, do them setting seem ok lol

I'm no expert but in this weather they aren't bad settings to be fair, you could try running a bit higher boost at ambient temps of less then 15 degrees - say 8 and drop timing to 4. You need to be running on best fuel you can, Shell VPower seems to be the way to go.

On stage 1 i ran boost 8 timing 4 fuel 9. The cars pace in a straight line was the same as an Evo FQ340 on one occasion i recall.

You can't alter the fuel setting unless you are running a high pressure pump.

Ideally you have to set the car up by logging data on Vagcom, see what max boost you can run at for the given conditions then alter your timing until you are seeing the right levels of timing pull.

I assume you aren't running any other mods?

 

[Adam's Cupra]

Yeah i only use Tescos 99 octane, dont know how that compares to Vpower but sure its about the same!

The problem is a was a doughnut when i brought the switch and only went for the cheap switch not the plus switch.... kinda wish i didn't skimp now lol

Yeah not running any other mods, want to but new house on the way so its zapping the cash!

Have you had your car rr at stage 2+? If so what kinda figures you getting. Also do you find grip a problem at stage 2+, for example getting the power down

Thanks

Ye the switch is worth the extra cash really, mainly if you are planning on adding other mods to the car.

I've not had it on the RR yet, i'm currently waiting for Revo to get back to me as i'm not totally convinced its running stage 2+. The car has been running a few different specs lately so im a bit lost with it at the moment! I was expecting some problems with getting the power down (which you will from a standing start sprint) from a rolling start the wheels will scrabble a bit in 2nd and 3rd, nothing too serious. I couldn't make any ground on a '03' 996 Carrera 4S today, they are 316hp and weigh 1470kg so its hard to say.

I was running aggresive settings too so in theory the car should be producing around 340bhp.
