This was supposed to be a simple remapping session, NOT!

- So in the last video we fixed the fuel pressure and over boosting issues on this mk7 fiesta st 180.
my plan now was to use HP tuners to remap the car to stage 1.
it wasn't easy and the fuel pressure problems returned when i added more boost so a long process of diagnosing and fixing it ensued
mods on the car so far
st200 airbox an filter
miltek sport race system

Steve I can imagine you don't make alot of money from this channel, but I just wanted to say your content is really appreciated. I learn alot through your videos, and it always makes for an interesting watch.
Thank you.
I remember watching some of your earlier videos Steve and people would joke when you were making a video, but you're a clever guy, you make some good content, I really enjoy watching your videos and there is always something interesting or something new i learn. Keep up the content Steve 👍😃
Thank you.
Good to see you helping others, but please look after yourself first with some liability insurance. I’ve seen too many times things get ugly when cars go wrong and owners forget the favours done for them. Sad, but true.
that's my favourite stretch of road for "data logging" 😁 followed by a quick "data log" up 'banog hill
Yeh were very lucky here with that hill. Works the car hard to for the logs.
if you want to check if the co2 tester works - just blow air from your lungs into it, this liquid will detect it :) you don't have to stick it in your exhaust
Would be interesting to see it on the dyno and the figures it makes, if possible 👍🏻
That gas test takes me back to watching my dad making homemade wine☺
Well done Steve. Our cars do "try" us many times, but you stuck too it
Thanks No problem
BUT IF YOU EVER FIND INFORMATION TELL ME THANK YOU AGAIN FOR YOUR VIDEOS😊😀
Hi steve iv got my fiesta st in october iv learned so much about it since watching your videos great content keep it coming 👍
Thank you Lewis
Hi Steve - i like your videos. So im familiar with doing flash tuning using taxtrix cable and openEcu. Ive never used HP tuners - what are the issues with flashing a Fiesta (Vinlocked etc?) could you do an episode covering more around using it? Also i note your not logging a wideband? how much headroom do the stock injectors have in them? more than the stock turbo can demand? cheers
Would you be willing to map a subscribers car? Ive got an ST3 in blue like yours. Id honestly trust you to map it and data log etc.
My fiesta went into the shop this morning to have an S280 turbo and Wavetrac lsd installed. Can't wait to get the tune dialed in. Learned a lot from these vids and am applying your findings as best I can. All the best Steve!
Shy don't think so he should so a bit of gratitude or show some emotion all the work you done for him. I dont know there's some selfish people out there
Great video Steve. What fuel was in the ST and whose map did you add ..? The owner definitely picked up on the difference in drive at the end 👍
Great job Steve, car looks to be running great. Glad you managed to sort out the fueling issue, all good experience if not a little frustrating but you got there in the end. Well done mate.
Hey Steve how much bhp and nm can you let an st 180 run at with stock pistons and er? Regards Jürgen
Anything above 380bhp is pushing it
@@JohnSmith-ws1dp so around 320 is ok with stock engine?
@@jurgenclaeys3366 indeed, as long as the car is looked after it'll hold that bhp well.
Just like watching my home brew bubbling away.
I did a compression test and my results are very different. 150 on cylinders 1 & 4 but 125 on cylinders 2 & 3. Not sure if I've got a problem on the valve stem seals in the middle or got an issue with the pistons rings on those cylinders or there is a break in the head gasket in the middle. Got no carbon in the coolants tank as liquid stayed blue like yours. Any ideas?
Pour a capful of oil in the low cylinders. If the results increases significantly it's the rings.if not it's something else.
I miss my FiST.
Hello
I WANT TO INSTALL WITH HPTUNERS ON MY Fiesta 1 TMAP SENSORS 4 BAR
AND 1 MAP SENSORS 3.5 BAR
DO YOU KNOW HOW to properly configure
HOW? 'OR' WHAT
Good set up HPTUNERS
Cordially
I have not done that so can't help sorry
@@Sparkplugsteve
Good job, any chance of a forscan how to 👍🏻
There are some videos out there already but il see what I can do thanks.
Nice result 👍enjoyed the logging vids...
What software you use to log? The HP
Tuner?
Forscan. I don't really Like hp tuners for logging.
Thx
Do you think the rich a/f down low in the revo map is to help prevent LSPI under high load?
That is something I did consider yes.
My car had major overboosting issues whilst doing test pulls with Pumaspeed, and after 3 days of having the car, trying countless different changes and runs they couldn't get it to stop. It was boosting at 17PSI with a Turbosmart 7PSI actutor on, and they were pulling their hair out, so in the end we put the stock actuator back on and the problem went away! Now it runs beautifully :) They said they've never ran into this issue before that couldn't be fixed, and they even took apart the actuator to see if it was actually a 17PSI one with the wrong packaging, but it was a 7PSI.
The map obviously wasn't set for the actuator and because they can only flash map and not actually map there's nothing they can do to alter that themselves
Aftermarket actuators/bovs/shiny boost bits always cause issues in every car I've seen. Don't change what doesnt need changing
Great video Steve! Great job 😎🤘🏼
What tune have you put on ?
Made my own
Great vid Steve. So did you manage to override the Revo fuelling in the end?
Yes all explained in the end 👏
Would you be willing to map a subscribers car? Ive got an ST3 in blue like yours. Id honestly trust you to map it and data log etc.
That's a difficult question to answer as I don't really want to be doing maps for the public. Part of me wants to and the other half says no it's not worth the stess ,but I really appreciate the vote of confidence.
@@Sparkplugsteve ive been watching you for the past few months and spent the whole day binge watching your build from the moment you got the car until now. Your really clever and i think the only way your gonna get better at doing maps is by doing it. My cars bog standard tuning wise. Has a catback exhaust. I have a ITG induction to go but its missing a pipe thats on order. I just want it stage 1 .If you change your mind mate let me know. Id obviously pay for your time.👍🏻 keep up the good content👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you and where are you based?
Another great video - cheers Steve👍🏼
Did you flash a stock file back onto it before uploading the new stage 1 remap?
Again, although the Revo map seemed to have the issue on the car, it was about as mild as you can get on a 95 fuel map.
Glad it got sorted. Will looked to enjoy himself lol.
I did but the map I flashed wouldn't clear the old map completely. I have a selection of base maps so once I sussed out what was wrong I tried another one and got it fixed.
@@Sparkplugsteve yeah good stuff. I guess that is why Revo have their own base map they flash.
@@Sparkplugsteve The best solution is always to flash a full factory file onto the ECU first before applying any other tuning. Any Revo dealer or tuner with access to full factory files and the correct tooling would have been able to do this for you and would have possibly saved some time and frustration. The reason for this is mainly because we add in switchable mapping and additional data/tables onto the ECU which can't often be read or written over by some flashing tools which only access a limited part of the ECU structure. This might still be a helpful option for you, by putting the ECU fully back to stock, data logging, and then applying your software again.
As a side note, it looks like this vehicle was running an older software version from 2016, and there have been various updates since this time.
@Revo hi and thanks very much for taking the time to message. That's much appreciated and yes as you have guessed I'm just a hobbyist and this is a family member who I decided to help out. A pro tuner for sure would laugh at my struggles but it's a lesson learned and I appreciate your time.
@@Sparkplugsteve Every day is a school day, always something new to learn. You come across really well and do explain things clearly.
With most calibrations, you would have been fine, but as above, we write and flash full ECU files built from the stock calibration. Therefore, some ECU’s we’ve encrypted, this is mainly down to the switchability functions of Revo software. This encryption only blocks the ECU from being read, preventing our software and tuning from being copied. However, a lot of the time this causes people to assume we have "locked" the ECU. However, a factory file can always be written to the ECU and new tuning applied. So always worth putting the ECU make to a factory first as you have a clean slate for logging and diagnostic work.
Cool 👍🇫🇷
So a Revo map was responsible?
Once i was able to remove all of the old mapping and change the fuel ratio yes the low pressure fault was gone
Can you stage 1 my st please😍
And can you do cruise control
St1? As in what way?
@@Sparkplugsteve stage 1 please and how much 😃
Are you local? Send me a message on Instagram if you can. Same name as here.thanks.
Was something in the tuning locked by Revo which stopped you from making changes? and that's why you had to start with a fresh base map?
Yes exactly this.
@@Sparkplugsteve what ever it was hidden didn't seem like it was right
Basically, it is down to the switchability of our mapping, where we add additional data/tables to the ECU so customers can use our SPS switch to change performance modes within the ECU via the OBD port. A lot of flashing tools don't have the ability to access these areas of the ECU or the function to flash a full factory/stock file back onto the ECU before applying any new calibrations. We would always advise visiting a Revo dealer or tuner with access to factory files to flash the vehicle back to a "full" stock before proceeding with new tuning :)
