You'd be right, there is no confirmed harness for the Fit at the moment, though one of the current ones may work just fine. Just have to wait and see. These go on sale sometime in April, so I'll start seeing info then if anyone gets one to fit.

 

Ok, things are picking up now -- Blitz just released info on their controller, here's the link: BLITZ POWER SITE / THROTTLE CONTROLLER

Haven't read the copy yet, just a quick skim, but function-wise it seems about the same as the Pivot, but without quite as many steps of adjustment (1 Eco mode, and 3 Sports). Whether that's good or bad remains to be seen, though a quick look on the app chart shows a Fit harness in the works. Price is ~$380 harness included, so definitely a step up in investment for one. Also, notice the demo vid on the HP. Not stunningly interesting, but it does show the installation towards the end. Pretty simple it seems.

Once I get some free time I'll read the page in detail and post here what it says.

 

wow, the price isn't bad neither! I can't wait!!!

I have a good idea where my 2nd check from IRS is going towards >.>

 

will there be any issues running one of these throttle controllers with fi? i'm assuming that the manufacturers have adjusted fuel levels to accomodate the stock restriction at the tb. if the tb is suddenly able to open more we have more airflow, so does the fuel level get bumped as well? if not, do we get leaned out?

just a concern...

So basically at any given point our ECU decides to close the throttle some even when I am WOT and it doesn't respond so well at times.

This magic box is supposed to make that go away and the ECU doesn't mind?

Anyone have proof that our throttles close like that?

 

To touch on this and the prior post, the ECU could care less -- these controllers are not trying to trick the ECU into doing anything like modifying the fuel/air ratio like a fuel controller et al; all they do is modify the signal from the pedal to the throttle body motor and the positional relation between the two. In other words, where before you had the pedal at 10% and you were getting maybe 12% at the throttle body, now you might get 15 or 18% maybe, or maybe even 8%, depending on the mode. What they do is play with the response curve to make it quicker or slower, or maybe, like for and Eco mode, keep it slower in the early part of the pedal travel and then faster in the later part when you need it, like to get on a highway. No matter what though, the ECU is just seeing the throttle body's TPS sensor like it always does and responds accordingly -- 50% open is 50% open, regardless of where the pedal actually is. Maybe this doesn't make sense until you actually drive with it, but the closest comparison I can think of is for anyone who's ever had an R/C car with a radio that had exponential rates for throttle, etc. Same idea, but for your car. Another comparison would be like changing the cam/cable pully on the throttlebody of a cable setup to a different size shape, but in this case just electronically.

FWIW, the first reviews I read of the Blitz controller where on an EVO X and Colt R, both most definitely FI engines.

 

Very nice, simple language, post clearing up some confusion. Good one

 

Thanks, we try.

 

Ok so I experimented last night and the throttle does indeed do as is pleases. I went WOT and the TPS casually went up with the RPM's. It hit 78 eventually which I could not get it to surpass, is 78 = to 100% throttle on the ScanGauge 2? If not I am only getting 78% throttle, yay...ugh

It pisses me off my car does not go WOT when I ask it to though, the dipshit salesmen never mentioned that.


Edit
---OK since the Scangauge stays on for a few seconds when I shut the car off I went WOT with the car off and also got the same 78 on the TPS. Generally it's 0-100 but whatever, guess thats just Honda for you. So I pulled the intake off and looked at the butterfly and it does open all the way. It is also pretty loud when the car is off and you are going on/off the throttle.

 

Tagged. Any news about the TB controller to be used in the Fit?

 

Somewhat -- Blitz still lists the Fit as under development and Pivot just added a harness for the 2nd gen Fit on 4/3. Trying to find out now if the JDM 2nd gen uses the same pedal as ours. If so, then Pivot may be the way to go.

 

Thats good to know. Some news is better than no news I guess. If it does work on the US Fit, I know what my first mod would be.

 

Got a reply back from my friend in Japan -- no luck in finding out if the JDM 2nd gen uses the same pedal or not. He basically said there's no part listing out yet for it in the parts database he has access to, so that's that for now.

 

Damn. This would be a great investment for the Fit if it did work. Hopefully soon your friend can find out if it does work for our cars.

 

Now for the part that nobody mentions:

78% may be the equivalent of 100% efficacy. I know with some cars the end result of a throttle controller (tps override) is nothing except the advantage of tuning the response time. It DOES NOT NECESSARILY MEAN your car will go from 78% to 100% performance.

That being said, it is a great product for several applications, but if you are looking to purchase it for an added 30.74hp save your money.

 

I recently installed ScanGaugeII. and from the Throttle Position readings the throttle is quite high %. After 3kRPM it reads over 50% already. Just something I'd like to share.

 

Have you tried at WOT to see what percentage it opens up?

 

I agree. I want one for better control/feeling. I'm sure that the stock program opens the throttle enough for max power on a stock car, but what about modified with higher flowing exhuast? Those might see increased power from an increase in throttle.
