Title: SPS?
Post by: Cochese on July 30, 2009, 09:33:09 pm

 I bought the sps last year after getting a stage 1 revo map. However, now I'm running a st 2 map, soon to be st 2+ once the bloody HPFP finally arrives. so my question is if i use the sps to change my map to "stock" when I go back to "performance" will  the sps load up my original st 1 settings or will the sps automatically copy and reload my st 2 settings.
   Cheers  :happy2:

The way I understand it is all the switch does is activate the settings within the map, so if your switch is programmed to say B9-T6-F9 then it will just apply these settings to what every map version is in the ECU.

It's not like the bluefin where you are flash loading the whole map onto the ECU.  :happy2:

 Cheers steve, that was quick. Would a st2 map not have different settings to a st 1 map though?

If you plug your switch into your car with a lap top connected then just select read ecu setting then your 3 values will pop up of your stage 2 all you have to do is remember these numbers or save them to one of the 3 choice settings.
Basically all you are doing is reading the ECU saving it on the switch then just reinstalling. which ever you select.

I think.  :grin:

Nice one, so i can switch to stock without losing my st 2 map? (ps Cheers TC, but I'll need an sps+ for what you're suggesting, i've only got the sps)

Which one did you order?

If it's the autotech then I have heard there a lots of delays on these, that's part of the reason I went with the KMD  :happy2:

 Yeah it's the autotech, ordered through my revo dealer. Hoping to get it on before the end of summer and the end of the track season. Fingers crossed...

Steve, How much does the KMD one come in at and is it a full pump or just a plunger?

cheers

It's an internals kit like the Autotech and was about £250 delivered from JBS  :happy2:

Cheers Steve, think i will be going for that one.
Did you install it yourself, what kind of job is it.

I got the TT shop to do it and the same time as the Stage 2+ software update, but I understand it's not that complicated, you just need a clean area to do it in and a few basic tools.

On mine the original o-ring where the pump meets the engine block disintegrated when they took off the pump to fit the internals, they said this is common so worth getting one ready get in case.  :happy2:
