looks like the new wave of tuning. I've seen Tom's has one, I heard of BLitz having it and now Cusco. I have also seen an offbrand in the JDM mags.

I really wnat one of these controllers

TRDxD

I'm also very interested in a controller such as this, and it's pretty cool to know companies such as blitz and cusco are jumping into the challenge as well.

JDMJim

yea, plug and play too. how awesome

xD_kidd91

not trying to sound noob. but what really does this device do. Im assuming making better throttle response lol

Bender_xD

^^ i second that request. Sounds cool, but what the heck is it?

TRDxD

as far as I understand it, it eliminates the throttle lag that we have. Have you notice that no matter how far you push down the pedal in the beginning, it seems like you're accelerating just about the same? It's not for an extended period of time, but it's there. Well....this eliminates that completely. With it installed, your car will then accelerate according to how far you push down the pedal.

i hope i didn't explain that too poorly, but hopefully that gives you a better understanding?

xD_kidd91

oo yea I have noticed abit of lagging, and my hypothesis was almost right on target if not then Im completly right! haha, but now im goin to sleep. skool in the mornin haha

TRDxD

MANNNN i start school on the 23rd -_-.....dont...want...to pay...for books T_T..

sigh.

JDMJim

it has a few settings as far as throttle response. like sport, ECO and such. plug-in, program and push a button. it just allows for better response to your driving habits/traffic patterns.

TRDxD

That's odd that they would make an Eco setting....seems like this would be a modification that would seek to improve throttle response but...I'm thinking the Eco setting will hinder it slightly?

xD_kidd91

maybe its like not sport, but isnt off either, so you wouldnt waste much fuel as you would wif sport haha nd ii jst remember ii gots obligations for a text book lol , how much do these run for anyways? lol

TRDxD

textbooks can be anywhere from 20-200 per book.....:sigh:

Bender_xD

^^^ LOL i think he meant how much do the e-throttle things go for.

TRDxD

HEY. hey....you're probably right....rofl

xD_kidd91

and bender was right! (so can some1 please answer that?) haha
but since you mention bout txtbooks, high school textbooks go for bouts 80 which is equivalent to 8 chipotle trips
but luckily ii have it ... underneath dust

JDMJim

ECo slows down the timing so your not getting 5mpg on hard accelration. well, prolly not accelerating very fast

TRDxD

yeah...well...the versatility of this sounds amazing. im very impressed.

JDMJim

yea. I find it interesting too. I'll put it on my wish list

TRDxD

are you planning on getting it soon? Im excited to see results / install information.

xD_kidd91

how much does ea. one cost? (blitz nd cusco) this product sounds very interesting and probably worth the buy
