Revo Stage 1..... Done!

[Wolfie]

Just out of interest what % increase in BHP does a Revo Stage 1 remap usually give as Ive seen conflicting figures from the people that have them and the revo website - the reason I ask is that my insurance company base the premium hike on a banded basis - less than 20% (small increase) and then between 21% and 30%! (bigger increase!). I know a 20% increase in BHP is going to be 240bhp max - would this be realistic for insurance purposes?

i would expect around 225bhp after remap,considering redrobins has extensive mods ,stage one revo and pulling 236bhp,and one one of the most accurate Rolling roads in the uk recently.

Thanks Phil - I was basing the post on RR's graph which had produced 236bhp - why does the Revo website state 255bhp as a possible target - a sales ploy?

So I can realistically state to my insurance company that the % increase in bhp will defo be less than 20%      Where are the most noticeable gains then - in mid range torque?


Should save me enough dosh for some other goodies!

yes , i would say 230 would be the figure to quote to the insurance company. 240-250 is stretching it and abit OTT.

Cheers for the information Phil.

Just rang Privilege - policy runs until next Feb - for a 15% bhp increase they want an extra £131.25 premium and the xs is a compulsory £500!!!!!!!!!     

May have to think about Greenlight etc when the polisy come up for renewal!?!?
