I know not all of you are on drive-by-wire, but has anybody experience with a throttle controller, eg the Blitz throttle controller BLITZ POWER USA SITE / THROTTLE CONTROLLER?

Steve,Bro, it is not not necessary coz the feature is quick similiar to stock, which is the normal > sport > super sport setting
Go for boost controller in stead :wavey:
same here.. mine keeps showing some "AFS OFF" indicator..Steve,
thanks for the info man. I'm missing a proper manual, can't read the Japanese stuff. Have to find it somewhere online.
I think had this too last week or so. I accidently came on one of the button near the handbrake, which says AFS or so, this is how I turned it off.same here.. mine keeps showing some "AFS OFF" indicator..
Not sure what Evo you drive, but for the electronically controlled tb's Evo's it's actually a real big difference. If you ever tuned a car for your own pleasure, enriching it for faster acceleration is crucial once your rate of throttle body opening is increasing dramatically whilst in the milliseconds time area. This is when you push your right foot on the gas, you want to have immediate response because it's either an emergency or you want to show somebody the power of the car.to me any type of throttle controller is a waste of money...yes u'll feel slight increase in power but its all in the mind actually, if u know what i mean..
its better if u opt for boost controller for real increase in power...
yup that button turns off the AFS and when its turned off the indicator doesnt blink.. just like the ASC when its turned off.. the "ASC off" indicator lights up..I think had this too last week or so. I accidently came on one of the button near the handbrake, which says AFS or so, this is how I turned it off.
Just press the button there and see if it helps.

Andreas,
This statement i like the most. We have the same thinking. Thats y my car also can stick with all those 500hp monster on street. . And my flywheel looks like plastic
Boost is for discussion at your local pub because it's mainly responsible for your max hp number that everybody likes to discuss. I'd rather have a WRC car with 300hp only and would still all your 500-600hp asses all along the street with it's sheer acceleration.
For cars with e-throttle, this is crucial. I think you know what you want. Oh ya aluminium intercooler piping will help your reponse as well.(not sure if the X comes with it.
With our Evo X it's all electronically controlled, this is where a boost controller kicks in delivering a non linear performance to whatever you do with your right foot.
Good luck with your mod :wavey:

No wonder so fast laa ...
It's hard to be fast in MY, when it takes only 6-7 seconds until your legally in trouble on every street including highway.No wonder so fast laa ...
Andreas, mind to share a lil bit...Thanks Lanevo6, finally somebody who understands how to get a fast car. The FMIC is actually a problem on the Evo X (like in all other Evo's), whereas it doesn't keep the low temp once you add boost to it.
That's why I'm either opting for a PerrinPerformance FMIC or for water injection, both will keep the intake temperature down.

Andreas
Bro Aziz,Andreas, mind to share a lil bit...
At what range of temperature consider good while boosting??? as you said the FMIC layout doesn't keep the low air temp....make me wonder why the Mitsubishi Engineers doesn't rectify this problem?
And if we've installed Perrin FMIC or other aftermarket FMIC or water injection what the air temp will be???
Thanks for sharing...
Wow...Great sharing and really longing to see the German Green Monsterssssss on TT.....heheBro Aziz,
easy to share. Basically you want to stay as close as you can to ambient temperature, which is already very hot in MY. Mitsu Engineers did a good job on FMIC from fromer Evo's to Evo X, this is why the car is performing as good as the former ones whilst having the extra weight on it (I think 150 kgs).
Why does it make the car so much faster when the max hp stay the same? It's about the area under the power curve, not the max hp as stated in another article already. Can I maintain close to full max hp all over my rev band or only in one small area of rpm, the rest I do lose a lot of power?
As in real world examples, please refer to this excellent article from PerrinPerformance where they're giving insights into their different design of the IC, proofing with some numbers that their solution is stable at the intake temps:
Perrin Performance - EVO X FMIC Test and Tune
So back to your question of why did the Mitsu boys don't do better with the IC? I just quote Jeff from PerrinPerformance on that one, it's easy to answer:
"Well the stock parts at stock boost levels work pretty well. But start turning up the boost and then things start to see their faults"
Somehow most Evo owners go the route for increasing their boost, which is why it turns out that the current system is then becoming restrictive (besides the fact that exhaust for example has to qualify for all worldwide noise and cat efficiency tests, under all conditions).
The above mentioned link has a small number comparisons which is showing that at 7300 rpm you have a difference of 24 degrees of Fahrenheit. Here's another quote from the article:
"So with some scary data behind us we thought, our IC must be able to do much better! It does and it deals with that extreme Pre-IC temps pretty well. The Pre-IC temps were still hot but about 20F cooler. First runs peaked at 380F, and the last run peaked at 400F. Well that is a good start. This drop in temp could be from the IC being less restrictive than the OEM core. We saw about .9psi vs 1.5psi drop. So the turbo has to work less to make the same boost, more efficient! Now the data that really matters. The Post-IC temps were much more inline, but still about 20F higher than we normally see. The first run showed a peak of 114F and the last run hit 120F. This was huge improvement. With a good tuning tool this could be worth a little extra timing and more power! Or, if nothing else a safer setup. EGT's also improved peaking from 1616F in the first run and 1636F. So overall the PERRIN FMIC ran more than 30F cooler on the IC oulet temps, and almost 80F cooler! All that means a happier safer engine."
Hope this helps,
Andreas
Well, willing to share more if you keep pressing the "Thank you button" like thisWow...Great sharing and really longing to see the German Green Monsterssssss on TT.....hehe
Not sure about the X but the E6 I/C still can take additional of 0.3 to 0.4 boost and max at 380hp tested.Thanks Lanevo6, finally somebody who understands how to get a fast car. The FMIC is actually a problem on the Evo X (like in all other Evo's), whereas it doesn't keep the low temp once you add boost to it.

If i drive ur car it will be faster and the fastestNo wonder so fast laa ...
