Any experience with throttle controller?

[A4XRBJ1]

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?


Tq,

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:

Steve,


thanks for the info man. I'm missing a proper manual, can't read the Japanese stuff. Have to find it somewhere online.

Why should I go for boost controller? Upping boost without a retune is not a good idea, the OEM part is controlling spikes quite well.


BTW, can you PM me what kind of changes you did to your Evo X? Especially which exhaust you built on?

Andreas

Hehe, after installing boost controller, then retune

So what's the big deal about installing a boost controller, still don't get it. Boost remains the same, just a better solenoid to control max. boost, right?

Please enlighten me

same here.. mine keeps showing some "AFS OFF" indicator..

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.

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...

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.

Why do people go for lighter flywheels for example or are looking for higher boost in lower rpm sections on turbo charged cars? Because it's the difference between first and second place.

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.

With a linear, old fashioned wire pushing your TB open it's different, tuning has to be done like I wrote above, flywheel, reducing the masses on the rotating wheels, enriching your car on the special accel map.

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.

As Steve highlighted, it's not making sense from accel point of view as we do have sport mode and super-sport mode. But it can make sense from a gas saving eco mode, as is highlighted eg on Blitz description of their throttle controller.


Thanks for listening, hope I made my points clear and was not too technically,

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..

my problem is more of a blinking "AFS off" indicator.. read somewhere its probably caused by a faulty steering angle sensor

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

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.

Good luck with your mod :wavey:

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

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.

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...
