  • REVO-d Today

    I went up to the chuck today and got me a REVO and a couple of dynos.

    The dyno post-REVO looks a little goofy and there were some oddities that I don't fully understand yet. On the first post-REVO run after 6k-ish the car dropped to limp (5 psi) for the remainder of the run. On the second post-REVO run we had another fan blowing directly on the intercooler and things went much more smoothly; boost only dropped off to 9 psi.

    Early driving on the chip show boost hitting 20+ psi almost everywhere across the board.

    I got the 4 BAR program, however they were fresh out of 4 BAR FPR's, so these runs were done with the stock FPR. I was also running a Forge Race DV with the yellow (somewhat stiffer) spring, stock N75, and an EG Solid CAI.

    The gas was a tank of Mowhawk 94 octane.

    HP is unexpectedly low, however after the drive back to Calgary it feels MUCH stronger than when I left Edmonton, even at our higher altitude and with plain ole Mowhawk 92 octane.

    The torque, however, is lovely. Holy jumpin jesus on a pogo stick is it nice. Passing on the highway 120 km/h - 190 km/h feels like 3rd gear when in 5th.

    The fine folks at Apex only charged me 65 bucks for dyno time too. Good guys.

    edit: Check out the A/F. There were a number of places where it was <10:1!! There's power to be found in leanin that baby out!

    Stock exhaust? I got the revo 4 bar flash from Matrix about a month ago, and I've been doing some block 120's with VAG-COM. I'm consistently getting 195 hp and 250 lb-ft torque with the revo software, and it does feel a little weak on the top end (torque is fantastic though!). My mods are CAI, 3"DP with test pipe, magnaflow cat-back, and 4bar revo with 4bar FPR. After I get out to the track to do some 1/4 runs I might get the 3 bar flash to compare.

      Everything stock but the CAI, and DV.

      I'm going to stick in a stiffer spring in to the DV and put in my ECS N75 today and see what happens.

      I made a total of six dyno pulls, but the other pulls show definate signs of heat soak.

        as start as you add mods the block 120's become more and more inaccurate

          Yeah, I realize that. But I think it still makes a good basis for comparison to others running the same software/FPR, or checking changes to your own setup. The real gauge has to be dyno or 1/4 mile trap speeds (which I don't have yet.....should get traps at the test and tune at bud park May 1)
