throttle controller
 
[URL=http://imageshack.us][IMG]http://img161.imageshack.us/img161/9422/blitzab4.jpg[/IMG][/URL]

i dislike the standard throttle response for track work in the dbw 06 sti, so

1/ will a reflash be able to change the voltage for sharper throttle response, or use some other method to do so?
or do i use a product like the one above. basically connects between pedal- throttle body

2/ has anybody used a throttle controller like the one above? thoughts?

3/ does anyone know if pedal to floor on the sti = 100% throttle open?
i know on 350z's and some honda's it's only 95% open at full pedal travel

cheers

I have seen similar product called sprint booster and they do work but really not a safe answer in my opinion. Much better to get your car's ecu flash tuned if you want to improve the throttle response. I had a MY06 STI which suffered from the dbw problems but a verso flash tune sorted that out for me.

+1 for verso flash tune..
i love the fact that there's a model available for the toyota yaris (basically an echo)..
God knows those yaris drivers are involved in some pretty epic drags :P

Obviously this is a copy of an older version EcuTek.

is this for extremely lazy people who cannot manage to push the pedal to the floor? :)

American Dave 20-10-2008 04:20 PM

no more like for people with poorly stock tuned cars who are tired of throttle stutter but afraid to get the problem fixed via tuning. A few eastern states people with Gen IV Libs installed the sprint booster and then got quite a surprise :eek: when hitting the throttle in car parks and other tight areas!

its stupid 50% throttle at 25% pressure... why would you want anything other than linear i dont know :)
its really a placebo effect device if i ever saw one.
