Revo remap report (p.3): the Frog has done it!

[gossa]

Sounds good, but 20hp down on Revo.

I would imagine it's only between 5-10bhp in real figures... but there will be little in it i would imagine.

Correct, on the road, nothing in it.Mine Ran 278 and 283 on two different occasions, stage one Bluefin, where as revo stage 1 Ed30's  will run 280 -285. (This is the K04 not the smaller k03 in the mk6)

Wigit on sciroccocentral reckoned his ED30 was revo stage 1'd to 300? Ambitious I know....

^^that was run on superchips dyno which gave everyone on mk5golfgti.co.uk rolling road a 10% hike in readings.

Mine had run at JKM in portsmouth on Dyno Dynamics which tend to be more believable.

Tis one of the few places that if you put on a standard car will run Vw claimed horsepower. Not 230 for a stock Gti like at superchips or 255 like mine did before i had it mapped!! :embarassed:

I read a lot of claims of around 280bhp for a simple remap on engines with a K03, but are they realistic - surely 250bhp is closer to the truth?

[Saint Steve]

250 is still high for a standard Gti in just stage one. 230 to 240 is more believeable. Once you start adding exhaust and intake, 250 is then achievable.


Have a look at this and see what i mean

Thanks Phil - good link. I just noticed, yours is an Ed30. But I was refering to the claims of re-mapped Mk6 GTI engines outputting 260+, which I'm not sure I believe.

EDIT: I just looked at Revos website and realised their 275+ claims for the Mk6 are running on 98 or higher octane. Still skeptical though.

That map on the revo website was developed on my car and I run it on 99. They reckoned my car had more than stock BHP (225 non mapped) which is kind hard to fathom, at some point i'll get it on another dyno to confirm.

So it went from 225 to 275bhp? That's a 22% increase, so applying that to the factory figure of 210bhp gives 256bhp - a figure I would be more inclined to believe.

On a separate point, I went to Revo's website to get some background on them - but there's no history. Any one know who they are, what backgrounds they come from etc? I'm going to give them a call tomorrow but I'd like some independent feedback too.

Superchips rollers tend to over read at approx 10%, so mid 250's would be correct.

Forgot that the k03 in the mk6 is 207bhp std and not 197bhp.
So 250ish with no other mods would be about right

If you have a look at my rolling road thread, mine came in at 260bhp using cheapo super unleaded 97RON. So 22% would be a reasonable conservative figure using good fuel.
