Just want to know if/when you will have this available on revo software.
I really want to get my inlet mani off to do a carbon clean and want to fit rfd at the same time to kill 2 birds with one stone but revo don't support it. I know I can fit it but it will run rough when cold and have eml on but I don't want that.
Are you going to release rfd software any time soon as a lot of people won't do rfd because you don't support it and it's easy enough to do when doing a carbon clean.
-
there working on one atm. not sure when it will be available tho.
-
They've been working on it for ages, apparently, although whenever i've asked them, they won't commit to it. Too much money to be made developing new software for newer cars than revisiting old software.
The car will run fine with the RFD. The only time it runs rough from cold is the first few times until the car adapts, which it will. Also never had an EML, either with or without the motor plugged in
-
Will it be ok then to do a runner flap delete or is it gunna run rough
-
Just spoken to Paul at REVO and they are working on it amongst other things.
-
Sounds good hopefully they hurry up want it done before my next track day in July :-) every little helps
-
I hope they do it for the K03 as well as the K04, but i doubt it
-
yer i wanna get it once they do the software. dont want all the rough start issues. gone get the head apart and clean the valves up and rebuild so be good if its soon but i doubt it.
not a big job to do tho, so ill get them installed if they release the software.
-
Dan fr have u do the rfd mod
-
The rough start issue isn't an issue. I'll get a video of mine up sometime, it starts fine. Only time I had a rough start was with the motor still plugged in and after clearing fault codes. Literally a couple of starts later and it's perfect
Had my RFD in for about 4 months now on Revo software so no RFD adjustments
-
What about WMI? Will revo be looking into mapping that in? I'm also thinking about RFD in conjunction with WMI but Revo seem to be dragging their feet on this.

I doubt it. There are too many variables with WMI to create a "flash" map. Different nozzles, different boost level settings to enable the WMI, different Water/Meth ratios etc
-
Revo map is boost, fuelling and timing adjustable so you can adjust it to take advantage of the WMI, I have.....
-
Still not comparable to a WMI specific map
-
It's impossible to get a WMI specific map, there are too many variables, so I really don't understand what it is that you want from Revo?
I can request plenty of timing to take advantage of the WMI with scope to request more if I ever needed
-
I have WMI as well and unfortunately I can't run any more boost as I'm on 9 already it would be nice if revo would up the boost a little more couple more psi if possible, but I agree with Dan there is plenty of timing adjustment left and that's all I have had adjusted.
With running meth everything gets cooler so surely you can run more boost safely as the temps are much lower? Would just help with getting that touch more power/torque :smiley:.
These little touches to really make the most of stage 2+ will be wicked little bit more boost and rfd will make it perfect.
I love my software and how the car performs but not 100% sure if I want to go BT I'm happy with k04 at the moment just want the most out of it I can :-).
