Looking for test vehicle for throttle controller
#122
Sorry man. The GB is over. But call Mike on the cell # posted a few posts back. He may be able to help you out. After all, kelsodeez had to cancel, so there should be one left. See post #104.

Thanks for the heads up.

Unless you have removed your supercharger, you really need to cancel your order and get a refund. These things are not being sold to owners of FI engines. Mike uses a Blitz controller on his supercharged Yaris, but it was carefully tested first. Your engine may be in real danger if you use this controller on it. Talk to Mike about all of the reasons not to buy it. Kelsodeez has a turbo on his Fit, and he canceled his order when I reminded him that the original thread stated that they do not sell the controllers for boosted cars because they don't know in advance how the controller will work with whatever tuner card is controlling yur ECU with the turbo or supercharger.

I will PM him but he should have gotten my payment by now. hopefully it will ship soon.

thanks for the heads up manx but i think i will be ok. the supercard for the KWSC does not connect to the ecu at all. it is not a piggyback or reflash. it is a standalone unit that monitors boost from the intake manifold and connects directly to the injectors to monitor duty cycle. if the throttle controller just opens the tb valve (which from what i have read this is true) at a different rate compared to oem then i don't see how it can hurt anything. if anything it will get me into boost quicker. just my opinion but i am always happy to be the tester.

just spoke to mike. he said that if anyone needs him to call. he also said that after all this crap he is probably going to need everyone who is interested (even for local pickup) to paypal him directly. if you have questions call him. He cannot log in and check his PM's because he is still banned.
The deadline for him to order is this friday. He did order a few for those that have already sent payment. so all others need to contact him and arrange payment.
His opinion is that if you are running FI and are not using a pb controller or reflash then it might work. he cannot say for sure because he does not know and does not want to make false statements that could hurt the company. So i will verify this with the KWSC and let you know. His Yaris which is supercharged is running a pb ecu which is throttle controlled. I forget now if he had it installed or not. but anyone else with ecu reflash or e-manage could potentially have issues if using this. The KWSC supercard does not know what the ecu is doing and as far as the ecu is concerned it still thinks it is naturally aspirated. so i and mike think i will be good to go.
The controllers will not get to him until the 2nd or 3rd week of august so i won't have any updates till then.

Thanks for this update leonine! I hope that the controller does not cause you any problems, and it sounds like it shouldn't.
This really sucks- having two threads to follow on the same device, and the OP still banned but his thread is back up.
To JDMchris.com--- we could use some more help here, it that's possible. Thanks in advance for anything that you can do to remove the ban on blitzusa.

Just called in and got my paypal transaction sorted with Mike. Even with all the calls he is getting [from more than those on the gb list], he is organized and getting things done. Hopefully the ban can be lifted soon!

Everyone who has complained about the weird, non-linear behavior of the throttle in relation to the accelerator pedal position now has a cure for the annoying DBW behavior. It may not be the same as cable or solid linkage, it sounds as if it is even better. I sure wish that I had one so that I could know for sure what I was talking about!!!!!

Later (tomorrow on the photo)- just use 1 1/2" aluminum angle from Ace Hardware. Use a strip of the hook side of 2" wide Industrial Strength Velcro (also at Ace) on the underside of two pods, cut a length of aluminum angle the width of the throttle controller box, wrap all sides of the aluminum bracket with the soft loop Velcro, stick it under the pods, and use a strip of the hook velcro on the back side of the controller box. Wire the controller to the accelerator, and stick the box onto your bracket. All black, no drill holes, no painting, completely removable, ALL DONE.
GOOD NEWS! Mike's membership has been restored and his ban is lifted. JDMchris worked things out with "our friend" Adrian, and Adrian lifted the ban. I hope that this was not too painful for Mike.
Thank you Chris!!!
