Supporting mods 4 revo stage3 file??

[A4p]

Hey guys..

what should i buy first??

thanks..

[F16HTON]

Revo makes a Stage III?

[widgget]

Revo Stage 3 = GTRS and bigger.
that was a very vague question. what are your plans with the car?

[A4p]

Revo makes a Stage III?

Yes. I thought you already knew?? or you making sarcasm??

but anyway what would you recommend??

[A4p]

Revo Stage 3 = GTRS and bigger i believe. maybe i'm wrong, that was my understanding.

that was a very vague question. what are your plans with the car?

Widgget..

I need to go GTRS since the software is coded for the eliminator. What that i am worry about is people tellin me that i can risk damaging my engine if not, i have the prober mods..

so what should i go next.. I was thinking a FMIC??
I also notice that the cooling fans are running like crazy..

Ok cool. lets see, starting at the intake and working our way though the path the air takes.......

1. Turbo inlet Pipe (Nu-speed seems to be top choice for the elims, goign to get one myself soon even though the APR one i have hasn't fallen off in awhile)

2. GTRS or 71r elim (of course your going to need the turbo)

3. New Oil/Coolant lines to the turbo (preferably braided)

4. FMIC (and piping of course. if i had to do this again i woudl get a real kit and stay away from the ebay stuff, but it does it's job)

5. 550cc EFIs (more air requires more fuel)

6. Coil Packs & Spark Plugs (your old CPs will die after you upgrade, just replace themm before they do. the spark plugs will need to be done too or your going to be misfiring at higher RPMS)

7. Exhaust Manifold (not completely necessary but will help your spool up allot)

8. Testpipe OR High-Flow Cat (you need to open up the exhaust path so you can get all that extra air your forcing in out of the engine)

9. Downpipe (if one if not included in the new exhaust)

10. Exhaust System (some people argue the necessity of this, i say better safe then sorry. and besides, who doesn't want an awesome sounding car? I had some guy yell "WOOOOOOO!!" as i gave it a little rev driving around today)

11. then throw in a clutch to top it all off (being tiptronic i forget about the clutch sometimes)

if your radiator fans are always on you might have some sort of temp/thermostat/coolant issue. Adding a FMIC is not going to change this at all.

My car started running the cooling fans none stop after it overheated (temp went to the complete right side of the gauge). even days after whenever i started the car the fans woudl turn on and stay running. it wasn't until i cleared the codes that this stopped. I can only assume that if one of the over heating codes is present that the fan will continue to run until it's been cleared.

just a reminder this is the guy that went revo stage III with 550cc injectors on a k03.

[A4p]

so should i get the turbo first or fmic??

[onceover]

fmic. or all at once

[A4ringedONE8T]

You already have the stage 3 file so your good to go

[Undisputed]

fmic. or all at once

+1

[F16HTON]

Did you buy a car with REVO BT already on it?

[A4p]

thanks guys...

ill start with fmic....

[widgget]

Did you buy a car with REVO BT already on it?

you really need to list out what you already have.
If what was said is true you should not be running a K03 with 550cc EFIs and Stage 3 tuning. This is what is going to hurt your engine. i can't believe a shop would have even flashed it without the proper turbo.

get a GTRS and a FMIC asap.

[A4p]

Did you buy a car with REVO BT already on it?

no it was comepletly stock, jumped directly to the stage III file, i will add the supportings mods one by one....

[F16HTON]

Are you in stock mode right now? Did a REVO dealer flash you with the BT File?

[widgget]

no it was comepletly stock, jumped directly to the stage III file, i will add the supportings mods one by one....

why would you do that? 99% of the time it's done the other way around.
you have to be running super rich right now which is bad.

my car would not rev above 3k when i had my GTRS installed running the APR K04 software, i can't imagine your doing much better.

[zemun2]

As long as you're in stock mode you'll be ok. I ran it like that for 3 weeks after I sold my GTRS.

[widgget]

he is still running 550cc EFIs i think, he only has half the mods he needs and is running it the way it is from the sounds of it. please clarify if that is not the case.

If he still has the stock EFIs installed and has switched the programming back to the sotck mode then he will be fine, but that does not sound like it is the case.

"no it was comepletly stock, jumped directly to the stage III file, i will add the supportings mods one by one...."
^^ that just sounds like a very bad idea, something waiting to go BOOM.

[onceover]

baaad idea.

[A4p]

the 550cc is needed for that file i coult'n start the car without them.. but you guys are right this chip really needs supporting mods..

[onceover]

i cant tell if this is a joke or not...
OF COURSE IT NEED SUPPORTING MODS!

your revo shop isnt very bright. they shouldnt have even loaded that file for you

[widgget]

yeah, very bad idea, personally, i woudl take the money you are going to spend on a FMIC and get a shitbox car to run so you don't blow your engine before you get the turbo............

like i said, surprised a shop loaded that file without the mods, they should have known better.

[7speed]

this is one of the more stupid post that I have read in a while

[A4p]

Guys i will set the settings to stock, and drive it slow.. hopefully nothing will happend..

thanks guys

[A4p]

this is one of the more stupid post that I have read in a while

sry 7speed but this thread isn't meant for you...

[widgget]

very good idea, set the programming back to stock and put the original EFI's back in for now. go over that mod list i posted up at the top and once you get the rest of it then slap it all on the car and get ready to fucking take off like a plane.

you could squeeze by with a GTRS hardware kit (has the gaskets and fittings to connect it), a FMIC, highflow cat, the 550cc EFIs you already have and the software you already have.

$1400 for the turbo and hardware
$1000 for a er comp FMIC
$300 for a highflow cat.

once you get those items you will be better off. the stock clutch you can upgrade once it dies from the extra power, manifold you can do a little down the road to let it breath a little easier, and the exhaust/downpipe can be done later too, but i wouldn't wait to long on it since the back pressure can hurt the turbo, and do you really want to replace your new turbo after you get everything running?

[A4p]

even if i set the programming to stock the car will idle low and turn off on stock injectors.

[a2a2pqk]

That's pretty amazing how u can run the eliminator flash on almost no mods (except for injectors and BOV/DV) that it's suppose to work with. I wonder if running it in 'stock' settings does any help at all..

[revo staged]

Sorry to bring this up from the dead, I just finished my Revo Stage 3 Build so just searching for Revo post. WoW...I would have never though to get the file before the mods... The shop is more to blame.
