Disconnecting the batt/swapping battery? How long do I get before my Revo map is lost, if anything? My stage 4 map is not on my sps yet. Cheers, Stevie.

I think it gets lost as soon as you restart the engine after battery disconnection.
Get it loaded on your SPS box as *backup. Otherwise you'll need to visit a Revo dealer and may need proof of Revo purchase. Some dealers charge a set fee of ~£25.
* EDIT: Read DomT's post below. It's the Boost/Fuel/Timing settings which are stored, not the actual map.

Ok thanks. Was wanting my race battery in for Sunday (also when my map will be stored on sps) and i'm not carrying two batts. Will just wait and leave the big heavy monster in. Cheers!
-
why does disconnecting the battery loose the map?
-
The SPS does not store the map, it is merely the interface that Revo use to adjust their map. the SPS allows the user to store predefined map settings (boost, timing, fuelling) in addition to switching between Revo stock and performance modes and the anti theft enable/disable. Disconnecting the battery I'll not lose the map, merely revert to Revo stock and need the ps to switch back to the performance map and correct settings.

I only have stage2+ with my sps not stage4 so i'm screwed until Sunday. What stores the map, the ecu?..........and disconnecting the battery resets the ecu there for map would be lost? Cheers, Stevie.

You can read the settings with a laptop and the SPS. The settings are level of tune independent.
Time to read the instructions. :wink:

Nah fuk that dont need instructions not messing about with that. Stevie.
-
IS this the same with all maps? Disconnecting battery deletes map? :confused:

No it does not delete the map, it just reverts back to basic settings such as B1 T0 F0 IIRC
You'll need the SPS switch to adjust back.

No i meant if your not revo?

No i meant if your not revo?
With other maps, disconnecting the batter had no effect.

what rich said ^^ :innocent:

In all cases I'm aware of, disconnecting a battery will NOT erase a performance map from a car. If this was the case, the OEM map would be deleted when your battery goes flat :grin: as its written on to the ECU in the same fashion...
Disconnecting the battery will merely send any 'self-learn' settings back to their respective datum, i.e. timing advance, etc, until the car is driven a reasonable distance to re-learn these settings. I never had any issues with my mapped civic after removing the battery several times :happy2:

It's not instantly.
It is after a couple of hours it resets the map to stock levels. The map isn't erased.

Not messing with Revo's settings on a laptop will let the experts do the mapping. Simple question that has now been answered. Dont need your input if thats the help you give out. Thanking you! Stevie.

....Stevie, your post totally deserved richwig's response and I had my fingers poised to respond to you in much the same way.
We all do what we can to help each other and attitude like yours doesn't encourage anyone to help you - What goes around comes around.

I have no intention to alter settings or mess about with my sps so i dont know why i would need instructions. Simple question and there were kind replies which answered my question simply, all i wanted to know was would my map be lost. Did it need a fukin smart arse comment that did not not help one single bit, no it didnt. It took 10secs for somebody to help me with a helpful comment. :drinking:
-
Had you read the instructions you would know that you can connect a usb lead to the SPS on the car and with the Revo supplied software (downloadable I believe), read the settings that are on the car.
Sad that you didn't.

Still not listening. I dont want a laptop plugged into my car, I dont want to know my settings. I did want to know if my map would be lost. I now know. Thanks.
