Revo Stage 2 slower than Revo Stage 1

[Pulsebassuk]

Hi guys and Gals,

Basically I just had my Revo stage 1 upgraded to Revo Stage 2 from Grants Seat which i must say they were great and really friendly.

trouble is my car feels slower. Where as before when I used to put my foot down in 2nd gear it used to torque steer like anything and felt really quick! Now it feels like boring and slow even thou still quick ....just not as quick as before.

since Revo stage 2 my mate Seany K who has a REVO stage 2and similar mods can pull away fairly easily from rolling starts in 3rd and 4th gear and he hasnt even got a FMIC or Turbo Back System. Im sure before when I had a REVO 1 it was more of a battle.


Can any1 shed some light to these.

regards
James

have you set it up, with data logging & changing settings?

As i said to sean mate as its my old ECU the settings where HB9 T9 with 5.25deg of timing added via lemmiwinks, but in thoery his car should pull back because he doesnt have the mods in place to cope with the higher settings.

Im betting your only running HB6 T6.

Stg2 to is alot more progressive compared to stg1 one so will feel abit slower rather than that big kick in the backside from stg1!

Looking at your mods you could proberly run the higher settings like i was, but you would need to log to confirm.

M0rk, Shaun k`s stg2 ecu is actully your old one! Its getting about abit now!

 

[SeanyK]

It really is getting about that ECU

James, as B3nny says, his old one (my one) is set up for higher timings, yours is stock settings, so with a bit of tinkery it should be much much better than it is now.

Mine is probably pulling back too, when I fit the FMIC this weekend, then get the TBE fitted the week after, it should prove more worth it, you can have a drive of mine to compare.

Sean, yours is going to go really well once the FMIC and TBE are fitted, your running pretty , much the same as i was..

Do a small test when you have it all fitted, from about 30mph in 4th plant it around to the redline (on your track) and see if you feel/hear anything odd.

Mine really pulled back when i done this and this boiled down to the fuel pump, im not sure if mine was on the way out or stg2 actully requires a 4bar pump as mine went like a new car once it was fitted.

Thanks for the response guys ..any idea how easy and how I would change it to the higher settings?

 

[cupra drew]

you need an sps3 mate its a small device used to change revo settings

you probably want lower settings......

 

[SeanyK]

B3nny> I'll do that and report back findings on here mate.

M0rk> James is running the HB6/T6

 

[cupra drew]

if you have got an sps3 seany stick him on bt t9 it wont be slow then lol

 

[m0rk]

on a K03 it will be...

 

[SeanyK]

I haven't an SPS3, however I think we are both looking to get a second hand one and go halves on it.

 

[cupra drew]

oops didnt realise it was on a k03

 

[Pulsebassuk]

Well guys and gals... I bought an SPS 3 off ebay at £100 and made sure settings were the following.

Boost Adjustment > Mode 3: Range 9 (Aggressive Boost)
Fuel Adjustment > Mode 4: Range 9 (Performance AFR)
Timing Adjustment> Mode 5 : Range 6 (98 Ron or 93)

and to no avail. My car still seems slower especially when SeanyK who has similar modz and Myself did a rolling start from numerous gears. His pulls away even thou not by much but still pulls away and he doesnt even have a DP and sports cat where as I do. Is it the lemmiwinks?

 

[__B3NNY__]

What you boosting to?

Airflow figures?

What you boosting to?

Airflow figures?

Goes to about 21 psi then drops abit but i havent really noticed. What i will do is keep an eye on it and later on post roughly what it does. ) What if I chane the fuel to high octane lol range 9

 

[SeanyK]

B3nny, did you say my one is timing range 9? (100+ Ron)? If so, maybe thats what pulsebass needs to adjust his to?

Stage 2 REVO im sure they do use a 4 bar fpr...

Found it odd that cc say they dont need it though for stage 2...

direct from revo....

Revo Stage 2 software has been developed to attain the best possible performance available from cars with simple aftermarket performance modifications. Stage 2 has been developed to use a 4 bar fuel pressure regulator, a quality aftermarket performance exhaust system and a good air intake induction kit or filter. Furthermore, our Stage 2 software can be used with a de-cat exhaust for race or track use. The tuning style is more aggressive than the basic Revo performance software, and will typically yield 10-15% more useable power. Working in conjunction with an SPS 3, Revo's Stage 2 software can be finely tuned to each customer's preference of drivability.

Required Hardware
A 4 bar fuel pressure regulator
A quality aftermarket performance exhaust system
A good air intake induction system or filter

Optional Hardware
A de-cat exhaust system for race or track use
An aftermarket diverter valve
Revo SPS 3
