Already loved Revo on my ST Mk7 3 years back. I'll definately have an eye on a map for the Mk8 as well. Big thanks for the insights, great quality and information. Best from Germany
Thanks for watching, and I hope this provides some insight in to the up and coming ECU software from Revo for the MK8 ST. I can't promise to have the answers to all your questions, but let me know if there's any additional content you'd like to see!
John Riley Thanks for your kind words! For the first 1000 miles, I kept the revs below 4500RPM, ensured that the revs continued to change (on the motorway, I continued to change gears and speed) and that was pretty much it. There’s no flat spots or anything nasty so the run in process seems to have worked! I’m just following Ford’s maintenance scheduled which is every year or 12000 miles for a service. I may add in an oil change if I end up doing more track days 😁 No plans for a Suzuki at the moment but it is a car I’d like to check out. I will see if I can source one!
Just ordered myself an ST like your own in performance blue! Gotta wait until 31st before its even made! Thanks to your content it has me complelely sold even with the crazy insurance figures im getting! Gonna be well worth it tho from what ive seen of yours!
Great colour Fella I have an ST2 in the blue really looks stunning in the sunlight, well worth the wait fella the car is awesome and that's coming from a previous MK3 RS owner 😎
Great vid Jonny! Again, great editing and presentation skills!I really do hope that you'll have hundreds oh thousands of subs! :D Your vids will be like the bible for my future Fiesta mk8 as I want to make almost the same modifications to it. It really is perfect with all those mods. Keep it up and waiting for you're future vid! Cheers!
God, this car is gorgeous and just such a cool little performance vehicle. I wish they didn't cancel the Fiesta in Canada; small cars do a lot better here than in the states, it's a huge oversight by Ford to apply all of their policies for the U.S. to Canada too (albeit it is a small market)

alexbarquin9 I’m surprised it’s taken this long for someone to comment on the placement of the Revo badges ;) On the rear, I have both the ST and a Milltek badge.

Hi iv had a new fiesta st in March done 900miles it seems there's a oil leak at the back of the engine dealers don't seem to bothered wiped it off and said see how it goes.... I was wondering with the modds youv done would ford honour the warranty if you have problems? Also have you seen any leaks on the bracket holding the cat? Seems to come from the turbo
Yet, another great production! Question from one who drives also a MK8 but with a Pumaspeed Stage 1 map (last 2 months now), how do you feel the pull at higher revs?(beyond 4.000 rpm). And, do you have a dyno graph?
hello Johnny..... after getting the revo stage 1 have you noticed any fuel boost or otherwise? ..... and also what sort of fuel figures are you currently getting? ... cheers in advance... stv..
booriesb Hi mate. The car is more efficient with the Revo software when you are just pootling around and on the motorway. I’m seeing highs of around 48-49mpg average on a motorway journey whereas previously the best I could get was 42mpg. That said, economy goes out the window when you boot it! Currently averaging 36mpg with very few motorway journeys.
@@JBCTR thanx for the reply .... I had my car done 2 weeks ago.... performance wise it's much more responsive. .. and fun .... however I'm not seeing the figures you can get even b4 the revo.... currently 35.7 .... that said I'm surrounded by country roads nearest motorway 35 miles away.... and another thing it wasn't bought for the fuel economy.... however I do hope to get at least the 40 .... cheers... stv
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?
Man how the hell do you get those mpg figures mines sitting at like 32mpg at the moment and I don't hoon it everywhere ?. Great vid though mate thinking about getting mine done soon but have been waiting for mountune to bring one out.
To be fair, those MPG figures were taken over two very steady motorway journeys to and from St. Albans. I wish they were that high all the time but unfortunately I like a hoon too 😂
Hi..does it bother you that you have voided your warranty?im in a situation where i cant decide to get a remap or wait or get a jb4 which im not overly fussed about tbh!
talking head Are your an ST owner? I’ve not heard of a JB4 for a Fiesta (I thought they designed for BMW?) At least in the world of Ford’s, Tuning boxes are not overly popular and ECU software updates are certainly the way to go. With regards to warranty, it’s not totally voided although it is a grey area. So any issues with the rest of the car (electric windows etc) is still in tact. That said, I have complete faith in Revo as they’ve been doing this for YEARS and the development that has gone in to the map is incredible.
@@JBCTR ha ha no in golf gti,just finding out any info on Revo that i can,they are just down the road from me so that appeals greatly!yeah the jb4 is mega popular with vw audi etc,and relatively cheap for the gains.However for a few hundred more the revo remap offers more,esp with sps switch and incredible gains on offer😯..without the need for any hardware apart from upgrading spark plugs.Your vids have been mega helpful shame you aren't in a golf but nevertheless a great insight into a revo remap👍👌
talking head Ah ok! You can’t really go wrong with the Revo maps, especially in a Golf! They’ve been mapping Golf’s for (more or less) as long as they’ve been around! Glad you are enjoying the videos, and I’m glad they are of use :)
Hi Johny nice video, I have a question about the exhaust valve. With a Revo stage one is it always open in the sport and race mode? I mean the overrun is changed but the opening of the exhaust valve is not changed is it? It does not pop and bang at low RPM does it? I have heard with the TRS it stays open all the time in sport or race mode. Greetings from Holland.👍
Hi John. The valve opens and closes in Sport mode. I can't tell you the exact triggers and no, it doesnt have overrun at low RPM. Kicks in around 3k rpm.
@@JBCTR Thank you for your answer, I ordered a new fiesta ST 8.5 and I am still waiting for it. I want to order the valve control unit with which you can control the opening and closing of the exhaust valve yourself. Normally in sport and race mode it only opens at 4000 RPM or more. I also want to install a Revo stage one and I hoped that in sport race mode the valve was open all the time which is not the case it seems. Greetings from Holland.
Hi mate. Don’t need any hardware for the stage 1 software - can add it to a stock car. Speak to your local Revo dealer for latest pricing as it’s been a while since I made this!
Another good video mate 👌 I agree with you on the pops and bangs, too much just sounds ridiculous. I really enjoyed the implementation on the BMW M140i, where it only did it in Sport (or +) when you lifted your foot off the throttle, it didn't always do it, and the harder you had accelerated before lifting off, the more it popped and banged, which is logical and felt more natural. I'm sure the M140i is the same as the M240i you tested in this regard. I wish the implementation on the Fiesta was a bit more natural, the various videos make it sound exactly the same every time and quite repetitive. I won't complain about a variable exhaust as standard though which also makes aftermarket easier to implement cleanly like your Milltek exhaust, no dodgy remote controllers and in Australia, a variable exhaust basically has to be OEM to be legal.
Maxwell Hopkins The fiesta has a valved exhaust. In comfort mode, there’s no pops and bangs and the valve in the exhaust is closed. In sport, valves open and you get pops and bangs 😁
How do you come at 248bhp eventually? here (Belgium) standard stage 1 for the mk8 goes to 230hp and 370nm!? I would like to do a stage 1 too, but I'm just concerned bout the warranty.
@@raptor1513 To hell with warranty, i Mapped my car after a year, still got 4 years "of lost " waarranty. you can enjoy your car the way you want, and nobody is gonna tell you what to do, unless its police
Great video fella, how much does cost to get the map installed? Iam waiting to hear back from KMS over the exhaust upgrade, they said they are going to have a package available soon so I was thinking of getting the REVO done at the same time, are you thinking of getting any other mods?
Thanks! Yes, there will be plenty more modifications to come. The Revo map is still in development (I'm a beta tester) but I believe it'll be available shortly. I can't comment on price at this stage, but I will update the description of this video when it's available 👍🏼
@@JBCTR Cheers fella yeah Iam thinking of getting my roof and mirror caps wrapped, looking at a mineral grey, but definitely going for a remap and exhaust, look forward to your next video fella, are you on any of the Ford forums?
Concerned about the longevity of the engine with this on. Ford proved with the MK3 RS that the standard engine was already right on the limit of what it could handle... is this map warranty friendly, a la Mountune?
Yet even mountune (warranty tuning) increases performance beyond the stock performance. It would be very unlikely that a manufacturer would release a vehicle on the limit. The Revo MK3 RS has been running 440hp for the last few years and its absolutely fine, the software adds in extra safety features that help monitor and control performance.
Revo not having a pop at you guys - I’ve run your maps on my last two cars without issue - it’s just I have zero faith in Ford since my Brother’s standard MK3 RS went pop with bugger all miles on the clock. I know the internet is never a good barometer of these things, but the consensus does seem to be that the ecoboost engine is weak from the factory, and I’m wondering if this has carried over to the new Fezzy ST? Obviously you guys wouldn’t have been in business as long as you have if you’d been releasing crap, but I’d be interested to know how many miles you’ve put on one of these with your map before I’d commit.
@@jayrave4 No Offense taken :). All vehicles have issues, the amount compared to actual sales is relatively low on most. The Mk3 RS has had known issues which Ford have identified and recalls are in place for certain models. We do all we can during development to monitor and test vehicles to ensure our software offers the best performance whilst working within the parameters of that platform. At present one of the cars has covered around 4k development miles on Revo software in the hands of our engineers, plus others around the globe that are also part of the Global Development Programme.
You should have no problems getting hold of a touch up kit, chipex make some good matches the only colour which is proving hard to get hold of is the Performance Blue I have a few chips on my driver's door and Iam still to hear from dealership to get them rectified 😧
great video. great place where you had it done also, used always take my fiesta there for work, be taking new car there now as well still. that car park looks familiar, can't remember exactly where tho. lol
@@JBCTR them country lanes are fun tho to test it as soon as come out of there place, lol. i have a usual route i used to take to proper test it. great video tho
I was told by a ford technician yesterday that any remap other than a mountune one (when it's out) will reset the engine clock and forfeits the warranty, even if you put the ecu back to standard. I was interested in the revo remap until I was told this, is this true?
It’s a grey area but you are likely to invalidate warranty of directly related components. That said, the amount of research that’s gone in to this software, combined with the fact I’ve done nearly 9000 miles with no issues, I’m comfortable accepting that 👍🏼
@@JBCTR Thanks for the reply matey. I'm all up for a little more power but not at the detriment of the warranty, i normally change cars every year so its not for me 👍 if was going to keep it for 3 years then maybe, but as you say that's your decision to make and I'm sure it will be fine. Keep it up 👍
@@buckleyjteams speak to another one fella because he's wrong. I spent 3 hours with the head tech and service manager yesterday, fordthorne Cardiff. Depending on the issue of course they will be plugging into diagnostics. He showed me where it shows the engine clock has been reset. Even if you go back to standard map or go to mountune, they still know. He then told me ford would not allow him to do warranty work on that car 👍
Chris Thomas he’s a good friend cant imagine him telling me wrong especially since he’s already done warranty work on my mk8 st am guessing the clock would reset if you disconnect the battery or run the battery flat
Yep void and don’t risk it if you have car on PCP either, you can void the agreement potentially. I suspect the many people doing it though don’t really care .
It's Dragy, but it's not just an app. You need to purchase their satellite receiver. The app is just a way to view the results. It's available on amazon here: amzn.to/2TxvT2X
Yup - You can do that using the Revo SPS device. I didn't cover it in this video, so I'll do a seperate video on their SPS device which can be used to switch between multiple maps for differing fuel types, anti-theft mode and stock.
As @JB CTR has mentioned the Revo SPS can switch mapping within the ECU. However, the Revo dealer would need to flash a factory file back onto the ECU to remove Revo software and put the vehicle back to standard.
I think the revo badge on the side is too st-line esque style for me, i know you already have one on the back under the St badge... so youre setuck for space haha
Yes and no. I am with a modified insurer so I just had to let them know. Other insurers may hike the price, or may not cover the map at all - always best to check first.
I didn’t measure it at the time as it’s one that’s difficult to compare. Too much emphasis on driver skill to get the car off the line. 30-70 is simple and repeatable as you just bury your foot! I borrowed the dragy device for the video but I’m tempted to invest. If and when I do, I’ll try some 0-60’s 😏
The 3 cylinder is a strong engine, I'm sure REVO software works very safely they are still conservative and will improve the engine performance, Ford always leave plenty on the table for protential tuning, you can always wait until Mountune release the Ford approved pack if your worried about your warranty 👌
30-70mph runs? This feels really weird. I'm german so im used to 62-124mph / 100-200kmh runs. Some people even do 93-186mph / 150-300kmh runs with faster cars but also tuned Golfs.
ShadowKoi Unfortunately here in the UK, the fastest we can go on a public road is 70, so a 30-70 timed run is the best I can do for the moment. If I get the opportunity to go on track, I’ll have a stab at a different metric :)
Michael Mallory I purchased the car with the intention to modify, and therefore insured it on a modified car specialist. Thankfully, no charge at all to add the map. 👍🏼
Liam Gough Hey! It’s a grey area but you are likely to invalidate warranty of directly related components. That said, the amount of research that’s gone in to this software, combined with the fact I’ve done nearly 9000 miles with no issues, I’m comfortable accepting that 👍🏼
Thats an awesome Video. Hope You enjoy this map and your car and it will work probably. I looking forward for upgrades on the brakes and the lower engine Mount /tourge Mount ( don't know the exactly English word for this 😂) Greetings from Germany
Minom Pnom I’ve still not had a ‘proper’ go at it, but I’ve managed a few runs at 5.9 seconds. I reckon that could probably be dropped for 5.7/5.6 with a decent driver 😂
As with any remap on any make of car there can be problems but lets not forget the last ST (1.6) was absolutely rock solid. The new 1.5 is a bit untested yet but (and I work in the plant where they are made) its off to a good start and looks like its solid at 250bhp+
Hi Robert. Where do you work, I'm assuming it's a dealership and not the plant. The ppm rate for the sigma unit (1.6) is very low and easily better than other manufacturers. We test these units to destruction and they are solid. While I never recommend it there are cars running 250bhp+ with no problems. If you work for Ford please remember the social media policy. It's nice to meet a fellow employee.
Mate this video feels like it should be on main TV, its a different class compared to most RUclips channels

Thanks! The car feels absolutely awesome above 4000RPM. There is a Dyno graph on the @sccpeformance Facebook of Insta pages 😁
@@JBCTR Nice to hear my friend. Keep it up :-)
Witch is the best between Revo/puma/mountune? I want to tune it with 95ron
Crazy that an F8 Tributo will do the same 30-70 in 1 second.
Thought I recognised the area! Cool to see a car youtuber from St. Albans, got yourself a new sub :)
Cheers Aaron 😁
Jonny does it affect your ford warranty??
hello Johnny..... after getting the revo stage 1 have you noticed any fuel boost or otherwise? ..... and also what sort of fuel figures are you currently getting? ... cheers in advance... stv..
booriesb Hi mate. The car is more efficient with the Revo software when you are just pootling around and on the motorway. I’m seeing highs of around 48-49mpg average on a motorway journey whereas previously the best I could get was 42mpg.
That said, economy goes out the window when you boot it! Currently averaging 36mpg with very few motorway journeys.
@@JBCTR thanx for the reply .... I had my car done 2 weeks ago.... performance wise it's much more responsive. .. and fun .... however I'm not seeing the figures you can get even b4 the revo.... currently 35.7 .... that said I'm surrounded by country roads nearest motorway 35 miles away.... and another thing it wasn't bought for the fuel economy.... however I do hope to get at least the 40 .... cheers... stv
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?
What's the 0-60mph pre and post map please
There is one done today in Belgium with 242 pk/409nm.
Do you guys think these engines, also with a boost like this, are reliable?
Man how the hell do you get those mpg figures mines sitting at like 32mpg at the moment and I don't hoon it everywhere ?. Great vid though mate thinking about getting mine done soon but have been waiting for mountune to bring one out.
To be fair, those MPG figures were taken over two very steady motorway journeys to and from St. Albans. I wish they were that high all the time but unfortunately I like a hoon too 😂
It's a shame you didn't do the before and after runs on the same road.
Carl Wyatt don’t understand why he wouldn’t 🤦♂️
Hi..does it bother you that you have voided your warranty?im in a situation where i cant decide to get a remap or wait or get a jb4 which im not overly fussed about tbh!
talking head Are your an ST owner? I’ve not heard of a JB4 for a Fiesta (I thought they designed for BMW?)
At least in the world of Ford’s, Tuning boxes are not overly popular and ECU software updates are certainly the way to go.
With regards to warranty, it’s not totally voided although it is a grey area. So any issues with the rest of the car (electric windows etc) is still in tact. That said, I have complete faith in Revo as they’ve been doing this for YEARS and the development that has gone in to the map is incredible.
@@JBCTR ha ha no in golf gti,just finding out any info on Revo that i can,they are just down the road from me so that appeals greatly!yeah the jb4 is mega popular with vw audi etc,and relatively cheap for the gains.However for a few hundred more the revo remap offers more,esp with sps switch and incredible gains on offer😯..without the need for any hardware apart from upgrading spark plugs.Your vids have been mega helpful shame you aren't in a golf but nevertheless a great insight into a revo remap👍👌
talking head Ah ok! You can’t really go wrong with the Revo maps, especially in a Golf! They’ve been mapping Golf’s for (more or less) as long as they’ve been around!
Glad you are enjoying the videos, and I’m glad they are of use :)
Hi Johny nice video, I have a question about the exhaust valve. With a Revo stage one is it always open in the sport and race mode? I mean the overrun is changed but the opening of the exhaust valve is not changed is it? It does not pop and bang at low RPM does it? I have heard with the TRS it stays open all the time in sport or race mode. Greetings from Holland.👍
Hi John. The valve opens and closes in Sport mode. I can't tell you the exact triggers and no, it doesnt have overrun at low RPM. Kicks in around 3k rpm.
@@JBCTR Thank you for your answer, I ordered a new fiesta ST 8.5 and I am still waiting for it. I want to order the valve control unit with which you can control the opening and closing of the exhaust valve yourself. Normally in sport and race mode it only opens at 4000 RPM or more. I also want to install a Revo stage one and I hoped that in sport race mode the valve was open all the time which is not the case it seems. Greetings from Holland.
silicone hoses, large bore crossover pipe, hybrid turbo, big intercooler, turbo back exhaust with sports cat. yikes that'll be a beast.
TheJeremyevans I can’t wait 😏
Sps allow you to load also back OEM stock map? I hear about 95-97-98 fuel and anti stole but not about stock map? Could you confirm me that please?
Hi mate, I love the car looks sick, could you please tell me how much all together the stage 1 would cost? With parts and software
Hi mate. Don’t need any hardware for the stage 1 software - can add it to a stock car. Speak to your local Revo dealer for latest pricing as it’s been a while since I made this!
Another good video mate 👌 I agree with you on the pops and bangs, too much just sounds ridiculous. I really enjoyed the implementation on the BMW M140i, where it only did it in Sport (or +) when you lifted your foot off the throttle, it didn't always do it, and the harder you had accelerated before lifting off, the more it popped and banged, which is logical and felt more natural. I'm sure the M140i is the same as the M240i you tested in this regard.
I wish the implementation on the Fiesta was a bit more natural, the various videos make it sound exactly the same every time and quite repetitive. I won't complain about a variable exhaust as standard though which also makes aftermarket easier to implement cleanly like your Milltek exhaust, no dodgy remote controllers and in Australia, a variable exhaust basically has to be OEM to be legal.
Maxwell Hopkins The fiesta has a valved exhaust. In comfort mode, there’s no pops and bangs and the valve in the exhaust is closed. In sport, valves open and you get pops and bangs 😁
this is my dream car
How do you come at 248bhp eventually? here (Belgium) standard stage 1 for the mk8 goes to 230hp and 370nm!? I would like to do a stage 1 too, but I'm just concerned bout the warranty.
Me too don't do it if you still got warranty
@@raptor1513 yea i got 5year optional warranty and 50000km so I think for me its not worth it bcs I only gonna drive it probably for two years.
@@raptor1513 To hell with warranty, i Mapped my car after a year, still got 4 years "of lost " waarranty. you can enjoy your car the way you want, and nobody is gonna tell you what to do, unless its police
Does Stage 1 make much difference to fuel usage? I know it’s down to the drive and how they drive
It's better on fuel if you drive sensible. Worse if you nail it (obviously)
Great video fella, how much does cost to get the map installed? Iam waiting to hear back from KMS over the exhaust upgrade, they said they are going to have a package available soon so I was thinking of getting the REVO done at the same time, are you thinking of getting any other mods?
Thanks! Yes, there will be plenty more modifications to come. The Revo map is still in development (I'm a beta tester) but I believe it'll be available shortly. I can't comment on price at this stage, but I will update the description of this video when it's available 👍🏼
@@JBCTR Cheers fella yeah Iam thinking of getting my roof and mirror caps wrapped, looking at a mineral grey, but definitely going for a remap and exhaust, look forward to your next video fella, are you on any of the Ford forums?
Stephen Heyes I am on the FiestaSTOC site, although my membership has lapsed. Also on most of the Facebook groups :D
@@JBCTR Hi Fella, Iam on ST forum my username is stevie7stfan, feel free to add me fella, keep up the content😎
Concerned about the longevity of the engine with this on. Ford proved with the MK3 RS that the standard engine was already right on the limit of what it could handle... is this map warranty friendly, a la Mountune?
Yet even mountune (warranty tuning) increases performance beyond the stock performance. It would be very unlikely that a manufacturer would release a vehicle on the limit. The Revo MK3 RS has been running 440hp for the last few years and its absolutely fine, the software adds in extra safety features that help monitor and control performance.
Revo not having a pop at you guys - I’ve run your maps on my last two cars without issue - it’s just I have zero faith in Ford since my Brother’s standard MK3 RS went pop with bugger all miles on the clock. I know the internet is never a good barometer of these things, but the consensus does seem to be that the ecoboost engine is weak from the factory, and I’m wondering if this has carried over to the new Fezzy ST? Obviously you guys wouldn’t have been in business as long as you have if you’d been releasing crap, but I’d be interested to know how many miles you’ve put on one of these with your map before I’d commit.
@@jayrave4 No Offense taken :). All vehicles have issues, the amount compared to actual sales is relatively low on most. The Mk3 RS has had known issues which Ford have identified and recalls are in place for certain models. We do all we can during development to monitor and test vehicles to ensure our software offers the best performance whilst working within the parameters of that platform. At present one of the cars has covered around 4k development miles on Revo software in the hands of our engineers, plus others around the globe that are also part of the Global Development Programme.
Jayco, this is a different Ecoboost engine in the Fiesta ST.
Hardware completely stock?
Have you picked up any paint chips yet? I got one right on the A pillar of my ST the other day and have no idea what the best way to fix it is 😭
I've not found any just yet, which is quite surprising! Have you asked Ford for a drop of paint?
You should have no problems getting hold of a touch up kit, chipex make some good matches the only colour which is proving hard to get hold of is the Performance Blue I have a few chips on my driver's door and Iam still to hear from dealership to get them rectified 😧
Very interesting - thanks 👍
Great video yet again, what’s next for the ST then?
Thanks! That would be telling 😉
Does it affect Ford's warranty?
half_empty_soul yep
Scc are my local go to, top guys there.
Ahh man i don't know what to get now a revo map when it comes out or the Collins map hmm decsions
is it going to wornout quickly with that much more nm?
great video. great place where you had it done also, used always take my fiesta there for work, be taking new car there now as well still. that car park looks familiar, can't remember exactly where tho. lol
Lew Man The car park is just up the road 👍🏼 The guys at SCC are awesome, must admit.
@@JBCTR them country lanes are fun tho to test it as soon as come out of there place, lol. i have a usual route i used to take to proper test it. great video tho
Lew Man Thanks for watching 😁
I was told by a ford technician yesterday that any remap other than a mountune one (when it's out) will reset the engine clock and forfeits the warranty, even if you put the ecu back to standard.
I was interested in the revo remap until I was told this, is this true?
It’s a grey area but you are likely to invalidate warranty of directly related components. That said, the amount of research that’s gone in to this software, combined with the fact I’ve done nearly 9000 miles with no issues, I’m comfortable accepting that 👍🏼
I was speaking to a ford technician and he told me they have no clue at all. only if you tell them its mapped
@@JBCTR Thanks for the reply matey. I'm all up for a little more power but not at the detriment of the warranty, i normally change cars every year so its not for me 👍 if was going to keep it for 3 years then maybe, but as you say that's your decision to make and I'm sure it will be fine.
Keep it up 👍
@@buckleyjteams speak to another one fella because he's wrong. I spent 3 hours with the head tech and service manager yesterday, fordthorne Cardiff.
Depending on the issue of course they will be plugging into diagnostics. He showed me where it shows the engine clock has been reset. Even if you go back to standard map or go to mountune, they still know.
He then told me ford would not allow him to do warranty work on that car 👍
Chris Thomas he’s a good friend cant imagine him telling me wrong especially since he’s already done warranty work on my mk8 st am guessing the clock would reset if you disconnect the battery or run the battery flat
JBCTR what's performance stats mate
Great video, very impressed...that surely was not a disabled bay you were parked in 🙈
That Geezer Arguably I was parked in four disabled bays... I would’ve been sure to have moved if they were needed 😏
@@JBCTR great reply... I like it when peeps put their car on the autotrader on double yellows.... I need to get out I know 🤣
Considering this for my ST, what are the warranty implications?
Hugo McLaughlin void.
Yep void and don’t risk it if you have car on PCP either, you can void the agreement potentially. I suspect the many people doing it though don’t really care .
what is the app's name that you use to record the pulls ?
It's Dragy, but it's not just an app. You need to purchase their satellite receiver. The app is just a way to view the results. It's available on amazon here: amzn.to/2TxvT2X
Is this video sponsored? Did you get your map for free/ heavily discounted?
Can you undo a remap on a car back to stock?
Yup - You can do that using the Revo SPS device. I didn't cover it in this video, so I'll do a seperate video on their SPS device which can be used to switch between multiple maps for differing fuel types, anti-theft mode and stock.
JB CTR ok cool can’t wait!
As @JB CTR has mentioned the Revo SPS can switch mapping within the ECU. However, the Revo dealer would need to flash a factory file back onto the ECU to remove Revo software and put the vehicle back to standard.
Revo ahh thought so!
I think the revo badge on the side is too st-line esque style for me, i know you already have one on the back under the St badge... so youre setuck for space haha
Brian L That was exactly the reason 😂 I actually took inspiration from the BMW M wing badges which I think look great!
Interesting video although I don’t have the ST I’m having my ST line mapped very soon now understand what happens. 😉
Great video. Wonder if we can get this car in the USA I like it.
Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't think the MK8 is available in the US. You can get the MK7 and tune it to over 300HP though 😉
@@JBCTR dang lol. I like your car man great job and video. Thanks for the reply.
Tony Lester Cheers, and thanks for watching!
How did you get 42 mpg i am struggling to get 39 on an st line mark 8 125bhp??
They’re different engines. The 1.5’s are almost as economical as the 1.0’s in some cases.
@@JBCTR in that case I can justify getting an ST more now lol cheers
Quanti nm di coppia riesce a sopportare la frizione originale della Fiesta st 200 cv MK8 2018-2021?
Can you do the Revo Map in Germany?
0-60?
Have the mods affected your insurance ?
Yes and no. I am with a modified insurer so I just had to let them know. Other insurers may hike the price, or may not cover the map at all - always best to check first.
Any Hardware Upgrades for 248HP?
Greetings
No hardware required. They recommend an intake though.
Anyone who has this tune and been running it for a while?
I ran it for the lifetime of the car. No issues!
and is the enigine still alive?
The stock is say 0-62 in 6.5 seconds, so what is the re-map 0-62 approx?
Want to know that too
I didn’t measure it at the time as it’s one that’s difficult to compare. Too much emphasis on driver skill to get the car off the line. 30-70 is simple and repeatable as you just bury your foot!
I borrowed the dragy device for the video but I’m tempted to invest. If and when I do, I’ll try some 0-60’s 😏
@@JBCTR It must shave at least half a second off the 0-60, Iam guessing 5.8 seconds🤔
Hi mate do you have the 2018 model ST?
Cheers
Hi there! Yup, it's a 2018 car.
Will it stress the engine too much though?
The 3 cylinder is a strong engine, I'm sure REVO software works very safely they are still conservative and will improve the engine performance, Ford always leave plenty on the table for protential tuning, you can always wait until Mountune release the Ford approved pack if your worried about your warranty 👌
Crank or wheels??
Any reliability issues after all these years
I sold it after two years of ownership. No reliability issues in that time 👍🏼
30-70mph runs?
This feels really weird.
I'm german so im used to 62-124mph / 100-200kmh runs.
Some people even do 93-186mph / 150-300kmh runs with faster cars but also tuned Golfs.
ShadowKoi Unfortunately here in the UK, the fastest we can go on a public road is 70, so a 30-70 timed run is the best I can do for the moment. If I get the opportunity to go on track, I’ll have a stab at a different metric :)
Why you would take a turbocharged car for mapping on 95 Ron fuel - school boy error 🤦🏼♂️
K Brown I ran 95 fuel on the stock map to save the pennies whilst I could. The remap was short notice so didn’t have a chance to empty the tank ;)
I'm so mad we're not getting this car in America 😞
Eric S But you do get the Shelby mustang. Seems a fair trade 😂
How much did your insurance increase by?
Michael Mallory I purchased the car with the intention to modify, and therefore insured it on a modified car specialist. Thankfully, no charge at all to add the map. 👍🏼
Stock exhaust ????
FOUDESSENCE Nope. It’s a Milltek valved, GPF-back. Fitted here:

Will getting this map void the cars warranty? Great vid btw :)
Liam Gough Hey! It’s a grey area but you are likely to invalidate warranty of directly related components. That said, the amount of research that’s gone in to this software, combined with the fact I’ve done nearly 9000 miles with no issues, I’m comfortable accepting that 👍🏼
@@JBCTR Cheers mate, will keep that in mind when I get close to mapping my ST
As a former ford employee, the answer is yes, your warranty will be affected and void if you suffer any issues related to the engine.
@@JMB1891 Cheers mate, what about the miltek exhaust, would that void any part of the warranty?
Liam Gough yes, only Ford approved performance parts, along with Mountune are covered under your vehicle warranty.
I definitely want this on my ST mk8. I live in Madrid, though.
Míster Kalimotxo There are 3 Revo authorised retailers near Madrid 😁
@@JBCTR lol Thanks for the info, man, I had no idea!
Míster Kalimotxo No worries!
Thats an awesome Video. Hope You enjoy this map and your car and it will work probably.
I looking forward for upgrades on the brakes and the lower engine Mount /tourge Mount ( don't know the exactly English word for this 😂)
Greetings from Germany
Niko Müller Thanks mate! I’m looking forward to those upgrades too! You nearly had it - torque mount 😊
What is the 0 to 60 mph with this tune?
Sibran Haest Hi mate - I’ve not measured it. I’ll have a stab it and when I get a chance and share the results 👍🏼
@@JBCTR well?
Minom Pnom I’ve still not had a ‘proper’ go at it, but I’ve managed a few runs at 5.9 seconds. I reckon that could probably be dropped for 5.7/5.6 with a decent driver 😂
Why so stiff?
holy fuck from 0 to 100km/h is half second faster tah the focus rs mk3
Love these cars but it's bizarre hearing such a noise from a car that look's so boring. Just can't get over it, maybe it's the colour?
Haha, it is a bit! Of course you can turn off the pops and bangs by going in to Comfort mode, but where is the fun in that?
warranty?
There is only one guarantee that something will go wrong, its a modern Ford.
As with any remap on any make of car there can be problems but lets not forget the last ST (1.6) was absolutely rock solid. The new 1.5 is a bit untested yet but (and I work in the plant where they are made) its off to a good start and looks like its solid at 250bhp+
@@jasonevans5978I wouldn't say it was rock solid, then again I do work for Ford and see the failures.
Hi Robert. Where do you work, I'm assuming it's a dealership and not the plant. The ppm rate for the sigma unit (1.6) is very low and easily better than other manufacturers. We test these units to destruction and they are solid. While I never recommend it there are cars running 250bhp+ with no problems. If you work for Ford please remember the social media policy. It's nice to meet a fellow employee.
women iser Your car’s warranty will be void if you get this done.
I wouldn’t want one with a lot of mileage on with a map.. it’s a 3 cylinder...
