Itsec 2nd Gear October 17, 2010 Share October 17, 2010 OK. Your car is still on cable. I also prefer cable than e-throttle. The original factory setting for e-throttle for my car really can not make it. Too slow response. do a conversion if there's an option available for your ride.. provided it doesn't cause any mechanical issue to your ride.. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohto Hypersonic October 17, 2010 Share October 17, 2010 do a conversion if there's an option available for your ride.. provided it doesn't cause any mechanical issue to your ride.. Now with the TC, the response is good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happily1986 5th Gear October 17, 2010 Share October 17, 2010 i thought for e throttle, the lag is intentionally there for a safety reason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vtim 3rd Gear October 19, 2010 Share October 19, 2010 true.. but there are people out there convert to cabled-throttle system... you mean from e-throttle back to cabled-throttle, why? cabled throttle will slack over time and need to be tighten again.

Vtim 3rd Gear October 19, 2010 Share October 19, 2010 i thought for e throttle, the lag is intentionally there for a safety reason. not only e throttle, there are also slack in cable throttle system which in turn will also result in lag when the car is stock from factory.

Djdp Clutched October 28, 2010 Share October 28, 2010 to me, save the money if it's $400 n go for tuning with unichip for around $800 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tohto Hypersonic October 28, 2010 Share October 28, 2010 to me, save the money if it's $400 n go for tuning with unichip for around $800 This is two different things. Unichip does not change the slow response from the e-throttle. It may be changing the ECU, but the e-throttle signal still need the throttle controller to change it.

Verve 1st Gear October 28, 2010 Share October 28, 2010 imho throttler controller just a waste of money zero performance improvement, want more power just pump your right foot. with constant flooring the ecu also learns your driving style. i hope to be corrected if wrong because if there is really a good reason, i would try this a long time ago. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to try it yourself to feel the different. I had tried many things on my 3 different car in more than 10yrs of car owner. This is the only item I felt money well spend. I had tried many times to jam hard on the right foot on normal mode, it will never produce what the throttle controller can do with just slight tap on it when switch to sp mode 7. For day to day drive, I am using sp mode 4. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GemLeo 1st Gear October 28, 2010 Share October 28, 2010 true lah bro.. but for $350-400 jump to $800.. it's a different toy story altogether... might easily over budget for some bros mah... for stock cars.. throttle controller seems to be a worthy mod ba... somewhat gives the driver more control over the rate of increase. if really under budget.. then maybe get sprint booster? keke Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The TC I used can switch to economy mode during slow expression traffic of city driving. Help to improve FC also Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
