I got mine Revo’d last week and I’m blown away at what a difference it has made! It’s transformed the whole car. Powerflex black mount coming next...

[@JBCTR]

Leon TheProfessional Woohoo! Glad you are pleased with it 😁 I agree, it’s an awesome piece of kit - although I think I’ve said that enough 😂 nice to see other people loving it too!

[@leonmason77]

JB CTR yes, I’m definitely loving it. Revo have done an amazing job. Once the PowerFlow black mount is on I’ll see how it performs.

[@APNelhams]

It would be great if Revo would add a feature to the device to remove all the start-up messages about seatbelts etc 😂

[@HeliumFreak]

I've seen a few people complain about these "all of these" start up messages. I get one on mine about the seat belts and thats it 🤷‍♂️

[@Matt7R]

No way! Haha thanks man! Also nice work on pronouncing my name right, that almost never happens. Thanks for the great review! Can't believe Revo's work on this map, I'd have been happy with 215-220hp from stage 1... Hopefully it's available to buy when I pick my ST3 up in April!

[@JBCTR]

Matt Rosell No worries 😉 hope you enjoyed the POV 😂 I think Revo have done bloody well with this tune, they really have.

[@Matt7R]

@@JBCTR Mate POV videos of this car are the only thing keeping me going until April, I'm so ridiculously impatient! Haha. Glad to hear the Revo impresses, I had their stage 2 map on my mk7 and it was great, so definitely going back to them for the new car!

@Rene Tommy i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm. Takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@mole259]

Just got my ST revo stage 1 mapped. My lord what joy. Cant wait for dry weather to see how well it can go. Love the overrun adjustment too much better. Got the SPS device too 👍

[@SilverTrill]

Can you install the revo map yourself or do you need to take it to revo ? Also I have read there. Revo stage 2 map which one is better? Sorry I'm new to remapping

[@mole259]

@@SilverTrill you take it to a specialist dealer who installs revo. The switch let's you change between the 2 of them. Stage 1 can run on stock hardware. Stage 2 has more power and torque than stage 1 but requires hardware such as intake and intercooler

[@SilverTrill]

@@mole259 ahh I see , my car is stock no extra hardware like that , can this switch make tge car stock again?

[@mole259]

@@SilverTrill no the specialist would need to take it back off the car but it's a simple process just labour charge. You can change between antitheft, 95ron, 99ron and 102ron fuel map

[@kevcahill89]

I was always aware of the SPS device and liked the idea of it but never knew how quick it was. That's amazing. I assumed it would take as long as normally flashing a remap via laptop.

[@ffsbrian]

Amazing production and video as per usual, keep it going

[@JBCTR]

[@ProjHen]

Brilliant video on the Revo Stage 1, I enquired about this about two weeks ago. The Anti Theft Feature is the cherry on top for me🙌🏾

[@JBCTR]

Aneel Ahmed-Jones Thanks mate, and yes it’s quite cool. The fact they’ve made it so quick to activate actually makes it a viable option for day to day use 👍🏼

[@alfonzocamponi2216]

Another great video, your making me want to upgrade from my mk7 ST more and more after each one

[@JBCTR]

Alfonzo Camponi cheers mate 💪🏼

[@SamAustin]

Great well thought out video as usual :-) Would be interested to know how you find the car as a daily as a fiesta mk8. They are quite popular so interested also about the non-ST side (as I think it's clear it's an awesome car stock or tuned). Keep up the videos !

[@JBCTR]

Sam A Cheers mate. It’ll do everything a normal fiesta can do, and then be a hooligan in its spare time. You’ll love it 💪🏼

[@leonmason77]

Great vid as usual, whilst i appreciate REVO will be loving the anticipation of people like me wanting this map, i guess the simple question is.....WHEN IS COMING OUT LOL???

[@JBCTR]

Leon TheProfessional I wish I could give you an answer! I want it to come out soon so you can all experience what I’m harking on about 😂

[@leonmason77]

JB CTR well I’m guessing all this suspense and anticipation won’t hurt Revo. But I like many others will be waiting eagerly... 😎 form an orderly queue 💪🏻🤕😂

[@RevoHQ]

@Leon TheProfessional Just finalising a few parts and then we will be ready to release. As soon as we have a confirmed date we will let you know. We are excited to get this software out and for people to experience it, we have tried begging the calibration engineers to hurry up :)

[@fraser1814]

I want one!,,,,

[@piercedvampireslave]

Very nice as usual! Waiting for more ST video like a 0-100 km/h test.....

[@JBCTR]

Meditation island Thanks! Difficulty is finding somewhere to do it!

[@piercedvampireslave]

Please try...

[@Hollyone]

Awesome work, well done 😎. What's the clutch saying about this amount of tourge?

[@JBCTR]

Niko Müller I cant comment on a technical level, but from a consumer standpoint, I’ve had no issues. The MK7 clutch was good for up to 300hp (not sure what torque level) so if Ford have used a similar clutch in the MK8, there’s no reason for it to have any issues at this power level. That said, I guess that are what test vehicles are for and we are racking up the miles with no issues thus far 😎

[@GoGoggansGo]

JB CTR 350ft pounds on the MK7 it used the same stock clutch as the focus st

[@slocavky]

Another great video. Well done.

[@1989gem]

Hi really enjoying your videos - i need a few more £££'s before i can afford my own ST. I was just wondering how any modification that you've made, have affected your insurance?

[@JBCTR]

Hey! Fortunately, no change to my insurance. The car was purchased with the intention to modify and therefore I put it on a modified car policy. I tad more expensive than a regular policy but I can add modifications as I go free of charge. Well worth a look if you are planning on Modifying 👍🏼

[@superduper2100]

Do you get the ‘pops and bangs’ on overrun with this map? One thing im not a fan of with my mk8 ST is to get the pops and bangs from standard you have to hit high revs and change gear. Im not a fan of too much pops and bangs but thought my old mk3 focus rs was perfect where you’d get them randomly, changing up gears, pushing it in one gear then letting off the accelerator(but not changing gear) etc. Basically asking if you get those pops easier with the map 😂

[@x58evo2puma7]

I’m still running stock breaks on my fiesta st and running 340hp and haven’t found any issue with my stock breaks so I would say mk8 st breaks isn’t any good

[@dennisbernaerts6488]

Yea they are horrible. If i push full brake, it does not even brake that hard. It kinda annoying if u run a car with this ammount of power that not brake well :(

[@sc0tt1eb0y]

Better you than me

[@jamiemurray5089]

How is the car now after a few months with the map? Whats the fuel consumption like? Cheers

[@knoxyst3884]

How will the revo map effect your warranty if at all if you run into any issues with the car, great videos btw 👏

[@JBCTR]

stephen knox Thanks mate. Grey area, but generally warranty is only invalidated on the area of the vehicle that has been modified. So for example, if an electric window failed, you’d still be able to get it replaced under warranty as this has nothing to do with the software. That said, a simple map shouldn’t cause any issues, especially when put together by a reputable company 👍🏼

[@knoxyst3884]

JB CTR yeah, what about any trouble where ford will plug into the ECU {engine,turbo), will come up it’s been flashed?

[@JBCTR]

stephen knox Not sure - I don’t know what info the Ford dealers have access to!

[@Marcel-kt5qp]

He pops and bangs when you lift of the throttle? At which rpm?

[@JBCTR]

Marcel Not an easy question to answer as they are always different. Lower RPM’s you’ll get subtle burbles. Midrange, you get a little more. High up the RPM, you get some pretty damn loud overrun 👍🏼

[@Marcel-kt5qp]

@@JBCTR also if you drive? My pops only if i stand or still or switch gear

Hi guys, I have a Fiesta st mk8 and I’m looking for stage1(without change any hardware) too add some hp and Nm. I would like to reach 230-240 hp, which one do you recommend with the best reliability? Revo? Trs?

[@calendar9497]

So is this a Revo commercial in a nutshell? Any data would have been nice as well, differences in acceleration 0-60(62)

[@mudguardrider8211]

A remap isn't about 0 to 60. its about usability and mid range torque.

[@JBCTR]

I discussed facts and figures in my last Revo video where I had the software installed (link below) which included 30-70 times vs stock. And no, it’s not a commercial, it’s a review with zero incentive from Revo for this to a positive review. If it was crap I’d tell you, just like my past review videos 👍🏼 kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3XHk3dvepKKeZY

[@alisonsmith3817]

Is it a big difference as defo needs a little extra

[@DB-dx8xu]

Question is the Revo sps anti-theft not coded and programmed to only that device, and only you're device can switch off the immobilise, just on you're mention if they don't have a sps device and don't know how to use it, in buying one, I would of thought each handset sps device would be coded to you're car only

[@RevoHQ]

Hi Brain. The current SPS is just a device for switching modes within the ECU. These aren't coded to each vehicle and not all vehicles have the same modes within the software. Some have a combination of modes which can include stock mode, valet mode, Antitheft mode and multiple performance modes. The Antitheft mode is designed as a deterrent to opportunist thieves, and an added level that's included in the Revo software to what the stock vehicle offers. With requires to the Focus Mk2 ST, this software is actually adjustable as well as switchable. The Revo software has adjustable Boost, Fuelling and Timing. Using as SPS the software is switchable between ‘Stock’ and three adjustable performance modes, it can also be configured to a Valet mode or Anti-Theft setting. If you need any more information then please speak to your local Revo dealer or feel free to contact us at Revo HQ :)

[@davidholding5335]

Available in dealers in ???? Ermmm next year 😂😂😂 great video can’t see the issue with releasing it tbh 😂😂😉👍

[@snoepox1257]

Dumping a cilinder and making more hp/nm compare to the 4 cilinder.... How?

[@paddydowney6269]

Do ford make a 5 door ST? Seems like every review and article has a 3 door, and I can’t spec one on their configurator

[@JBCTR]

Paddy Downey Yup, this one is available in 3 and 5 door 😁

[@daibennett9224]

Thinking of getting this done for my mk7,I’ve read on a few forums that,If the battery is disconnected it will revert back to stock,the tune is still there but it needs to be flashed back by a dealer,you heard this or is it untrue?

[@JBCTR]

Dai Bennett I’ve not tested it, but I believe this is untrue.

[@ntamp]

I’m wondering if the ECU tune is being applied on all driving modes, or just on Sport

[@JBCTR]

ntamp It’s a complete reflash of the ECU, so the tune is applied to all modes. As mentioned in the video, the additional power is very noticeable in comfort but as the valves are closed in the exhaust, all the drama is removed. Makes it very easy to live with!

[@RevoHQ]

The enhanced performance is applied in all modes. The driving characteristics of the modes haven't changed from the factory so you still get the all the differences between the modes, just more fun :)

[@ntamp]

Thank` s a lot :)

@@RevoHQ Hi Revo.I have recently purchased the map for my mk 8 fiesta ST.I was expecting big things as i am running various mods including a gpf delete,a catback exhaust system,induction kit, intercooler and throttle elbow.I was pretty disappointed to find my car only made 228 bhp on 2 different dynos.An engine builder /tuner looked at my car and his diagnosis is the car is running to lean with all the mods to increase airflow.The map isnt allowing enough fuel to reach the engine.My question is ...Would i be better removing some or all of the mods?Is the map designed to run on a stock car?....and when will stage 2 be available where i could successfully run all my mods and they would all complement each other?Please reply as i find this very frustrating....Many thanks!!

[@Valeriocalcio]

Stock exhaust?

[@LouisTheW]

If you have the roof in the first stage of being open dose it automatically close when you get out and lock the car or dose it give you notification before you leave the car?

[@JBCTR]

Louis Harrison Neither. You have to check, but you can double tap and hold the lock button on the key to enable global closing, which also closes the sunroof. Works if it’s completely open too 👍🏼

[@Benepene]

So you just need to buy the SPS from Revo and thats it?

[@JBCTR]

I would suggest checking with your local Revo retailer, but I imagine it needs to be coded to your car.

[@ad_182_uk]

Suprised you haven't done a detailing segment yet - or are you not into that?

What are you averaging MPG with the map mate?

Damo 666 Not great. 35mpg although that’s my fault! The car is better on fuel at a constant speed (motorway) than on the stock map. But it’s difficult not to put your foot down now 🤷🏼‍♀️ around 45-47mpg average on a motorway journey.

Hey, appreciate your comment was 3 years ago but I’m in NI and just picked up a ST and looking it mapped. Assume the revo maps are 95/98/99 so running it on 97 will we a no go

​@@jonathantaylor3750 TG Performance NI in Bangor do REVO maps and say its fine for 97 ron. Drove one of the cars they did, own a i20 N though but can't fault it, ST with a revo tune is well quick for our roads.

[@AndriesCombrink]

Is the Revo map available for the Ecosport as well?

[@JBCTR]

Andries Combrink I don’t believe the EcoSport has the same engine as this vehicle and therefore the map won’t be compatible. Worth getting in touch with Revo as they’ll likely have a map that does suit your engine, however.

How about Fuel Economy and differences in 0-60 times?

[@JBCTR]

Luca Lansche Fuel economy is improved when travelling at a constant speed (motorways), but I’ve found mine to have decreased due to an increase in hooning 😂 There’s a massive improvement in 30-70 times, but I’ve not timed 0-60 yet.

0-60 with the map?

[@JBCTR]

Mr. Wolf Not yet measured as that very much depends on how well I can launch the car off the line. In this weather, pretty terribly is the answer 😂 30-70 is a much more repeatable metric as it removes a significant portion of driver skill and focuses more on the car as a whole 👍🏼
