4 Bar FPR on Revo Leon

[CupraSteve]

Whats are the gains (if any) from doing this?

Also can anyone tell me how much a suitable 4 bar fpr is new, and a part number would be really cool, thanks

Steve, you're in Worcs aren't ya? (remember we met up and you vag-com'ed me?)

If so, get down to Aldon Auto in Brierly Hill. They're in stock there for £50 and I think Seat charge more than that.

Hope that helps.

BTW how's the car running with Revo now, what peak air mass are you seeing? I got the trial yesterday and only read 154g

 

[CupraSteve]

hiya mate, nice to hear fro you again, the mafs reading about 165-170 at the mo, i cant remember what a healthy maf reading for a revo car is.

I do know that the trial is supposedly not as strong as the full blown code for REVO though which is why your MAF could not be reading as high as a fully loaded revo car.

The MAF was certainly ok when i logged it those few weeks back.

Do you know if I will see any benefit from a 4 bar FPR on my revod cupra?

4bar FPR is no use unless your revo code uses it.
Stage 2 uses it, stage 1 doesnt. Get Stage 2, and you'll need a 4bar fpr.

I paid £30 for my FPR.... £50 sounds quite steep.....

 

[CupraSteve]

ah thanks for the info pabs

 

[neil_f225]

revo stage 2 , turbo back exhaust and 4 bar fpr should give 230-240bhp. Fmic recommended as well.

 

[CupraSteve]

so no point in revo stg 1 then

 

[The MoffMeister]

sorry newbie here what is a 4 bar fpr

 

[neil_f225]

car wont run properly if you use 4bar fpr on revo stage 1.

 

[neil_f225]

4 bar fuel pressure regulator instead of standard 3 bar

I have a 4 bar FPR on my car, I have the 4 bar revo map (stage 1)
I have had some hesitation in the past and still get it now, never resolved the issue so wandering if it has anything to do with 4 bar FPR and 4 bar software? issues...

 

[neil_f225]

did you get the 4bar software when Revo offered it as a separate program as stage 1 now is for 3 bar and stage 2 software caters for 4 bar.

 

[cupra-c_ya]

I got the 4 bar software well over a year ago now, was just told that I could have the 4 bar software (stage 1) but would just have to get a 4 bar FPR, meant nothing to me at the time other then this would yield a little more torque and bhp?

I was told by one of the lads that they dont really offer the 4 bar much.

*edit * I am considering getting a reflash of the software
(not 4 bar software) and putting the 3 bar FPR back on to see if it sorts the hesitating prob out?? unsure tho

i'd be getting a log of the MAF first mate,sounds like you may have a faulty one(classic symptoms)

 

[cupra-c_ya]

alright jason,

did some logs awhile back, managed to get 182 g/s

really weird hesitation up the rev range, seems to hold back , a little lumpy at times?

182G/S EQUATES to about 230 bhp apx - pretty impressive. You have all the stage 2 hardware and your getting stage 2 power at the moment, so is stage 2 revo going to be worth it for you?

 

[cupra-c_ya]

230 bhp, is that what it works out to be, not bad then.
the only thing im not happy with is that it can be a bit lumpy up the rev range, could be anything causing this. (vag com does not pick this up tho)

the 182 g/s I got through vag com, unsure how accurate this is?

by the way like your car in blue, nice!

*edit* I really need a fmic, hot weather in the summer, terrible heat soak!
could also do with sps3 to change settings as I have no settings for fuel etc

 

[bigjode]

Cheers for the compliment!

I'm not sure how accurate it is either, but apparently airmass is proportional to bhp. If you multiply it by 1.3 or something like that.

I read it on here once. Take all forum talk with a pinch of salt is the golden rule

 

[bigjode]

Oh vag-com is totally accurate at telling you what the sensor is seeing, but how accurate are the sensors is the question?

 

[Pabs]

Some of my logs showed that I had an airflow of about 190G/S.... and on the rollers I got 232bhp.... So not too far off one way or another...

I've heard lots of good things about the FMIC's - so eagerly awaiting my install in t-11 days!!!
