IDrive....throttle controller.

[zoom]

Pickle, did you have a chance to look at the throttle %s with the controller active, in TorquePro?
Still considering this conversion but want to understand exactly what it does to the vehicle before outlaying the $$$s
Many thanks!
Can you also use these units to act like a throttle lock? I really miss the throttle lock I had in my NJ, on the gen4. :-(

Pop around and borrow mine play before pay

Have you disabled the swirl valves? That helps too, especially if your intake manifold is all coked up and waiting for a clean (like mine) to the point where it runs rough between 2000-3000rpm on light throttle.

They throw codes if you disable those. And with the EGR disabled at 300km (as in brand new) there was no chance for it to coke up.

Absolutely. Agreed on both points. Wish I'd had my gen 4 from new.... It it had over 200,000 on it when I bought it..... Will have to bite the bullet and clean the manifold soon.
The swirl valves, if electrically disconnected by unplugging the vacuum solenoid, will certainly throw a code. Block the hose and the ECU will never know.. Shhhh.

Yeah running TorquePro but really didn't take notes on throttle percentage before I fitted it so the reading now could be out of whack.
Been out 4wding in the High Country and in Low Range it is pretty touchy on the accelerator in Auto mode.
Starjunk the IDrive does have a 30 day money back guarantee so it can be sent back if it doesn't shake your booty. Certainly made a difference on mine .....and turns it into a weapon in Low Range.

I strongly agree with the function of Throttle Controller, just got one in Berrima with exhaust upgrade.

Throttle lag( although I got EGR device, but definitely still there) and turbo lag just reduced dramatically, pulls up to 120 with ease.

yep, so much improve the drivablity on the Paj.

happy owner now

Nup, it will still throw a code. ECU works it out from the MAF and MAP values. Even an NM/P would throw a code if you did it.

In that case I've just been lucky I guess. Disabled for about 3000 kms and no code yet.

A pedal booster device alters pedal response. That's all.
They have zero effect on turbo lag. How could they effect it?

Tend to agree.

You MUST drive a vehicle with a throttle control before making opinions.

You must understand basic engine dynamics before making absurd claims which cannot be true. Turbo lag has absolutely nothing to do with pedal response.

Talk about absurd

Perhaps you'd like to explain how a pedal amplifier can affect turbo lag? Bear in mind that turbo lag is the time between the demand for an increase in power (the throttle being opened) and the turbocharger(s) providing increased intake pressure, and hence increased power. Throttle lag occurs because turbochargers rely on the buildup of exhaust gas pressure to drive the turbine. The lag is there regardless of how hard or quickly you press the go pedal.

One definitely does not have to experience everything prior to forming an opinion. For example, I have a strong opinion on what will happen if I jump out of an aircraft without a parachute. I'm not going to test the hypothesis because the logic is sound.
