Revo for PD100

marty_ · 13-10-2004, 12:26

Hi peops,

I didn’t think this was my first post as I was at your trackday at brunters earlier this year (Blue Mk3 Ibiza Cupra, much fun was had) but here goes…..

A colleague was asking what I was doing on my day off on Monday and after I explained I was at Jabba getting my motor remapped the conversation quickly got round to her diesel Fabia and Revo

She is now interested in the idea of getting the car remapped as a Christmas present for her husband (its his car) from the Revo website I’m guessing she has a PD100. My colleague has some concerns about the impact of the extra 50bhp, I mentioned the gearbox and clutch should be able to cope but what about the brakes? Are they all up to the job?

I’ve done a search and come up with noting so any help would be appreciated.

BTW I’m considering joining you on your welsh trackday as I fancy getting to grips with my car on a wet one given that its always raining in Manchester! so may see you there also (hope theres space left I’ve not checked for a bit).

Cheers,

marty

Yes... we have a few people on here who have jabba'd thier pd100 to about 150bhp... you would expect about the same from revo

the brakes on the PD100 are 280mm so not far off those of the Fabia vRS. if shes sensible clutch and brakes will be more than acceptable

Col do you know why they don't do an SP2 for the furby?

Not sure I really agree with these remaps. I know they make the car more powerful, but you can have plenty of fun in a standard car if you know how to drive. Regardless of what is said the brakes etc on the car are designed to cope with the car as built, and will be less effective if the car hp is increased and the driver actually uses it. Just the same as people who toe caravans etc, they wear ot clutches and their brakes are less efficient even when the caravan has its own brakes.

280mm brakes - are these the same as on my cupra: vented 280x22mm? If so they served me well in my stock 156hp and continue to do so at the moment now jabba'd.

Because theres not really anything you can adjust to positive effect.. fuelling and boost are about it.. fuelling will just make it smoke more., and boost pressure is too insignificant to make a difference.

its like the Jabba PD booster thing.. will only give another 2-5bhp max

It was more the imobilisor side of things I was interested in to be honest. Going for SP1 but if they did the imobilsor I'd have that too.
