blitz throttle controller does it work..

[marcus]

whats the review on this from the yaris owners...anyone.

economy= mpg ?
normal =
sp1= mpg ?
sp2= mpg ?
sp3= mpg ?

[whooppee777]

if im not mistaken the only one who has one is echo hrs who currently doesnt have a running yaris bcuz of the blitz supercharger.

maybe he or cali should send me one to test out :wink:.

i'd like to know how it would work with a modified Tb setup since i have the corolla TB from a 1zz and not the stock TB

all its going to do is boost the signal from the pedal to TB. allowing for quicker reaction times off the line if u were drag racing or just a faster responding TB. i dont believe theres a boost in power. just the same power sooner

[marcus]

cool... hey cali send whopee the piece for trial.....

[whooppee777]

see cali? marcus approves:thumbup:

[marcus]

after an hour of researching.. the only thing i came up with was it double.triple,then quadruple the percentage of gas feed. so pressing gas 10% with sp1 your like pressing is at 2x the %,sp2 3x and sp3 4x.the %....

[marcus]

well does this blitz controller work??

[Malaya1221]

yaris t-sport has one...pivot is also making one for a very reasonable price but only has 3 settings, think!

[cali yaris]

It works, but you have to understand what it does.

It does NOT make your car faster (0-60, 1/4 mi., etc.) or affect the actual horsepower at all. It does not open up the throttle farther than it already opens. It does not affect fuel mixture or delivery to the cylinders.

It simply changes the the message from the pedal to the ECU to make it think that you are pressing the pedal down farther than you are.

It makes the car FEEL faster in normal driving, BUT... IF you just drove by slamming your foot to the floor, you'd never ever notice the function of this device.

Does that help explain it?

[facebreaker1212]

Does it make it feel more like a cable? That's what i am looking for.

thatll do it!! thanks.

[mikenacarato]

the controller arrived at work. i will install it tonight after my shift ends. ill let you know the results. ill also be doing an oil change to royal purple synthetic as well at the same time

[mikenacarato]

controller is installed but i still have 2 hrs till i can leave to test drive it. :( i still have to do my oil change too. i thought the controller plugged into the throttle body but it connects to the tps on the pedal. so no going through the firewall needed!

[LtNoogie]

I was told by YarisDarkness that it lessens the lag felt with the drive-by-wire throttle by telling the ECU that the throttle pedal is pressed further than it actually is.

For Blitz supercharged engines, it is most useful if you're setting your S/C for 50% throttle cut-in. The car would normally be its normal sluggish self until your pedal reaches 50% when the S/C kicks in abruptly. With the trottle controller, the throttle response is more responsive so when the S/C kicks in at 50% you won't feel as much of a lurch.

I tend to run my S/C at 20% throttle cut-in at the moment so the Throttle controller would not be as noticeable. I spend most of my time with my rear-view mirror air freshener hanging horizontally due to the massive acceleration.:cool:

[cali yaris]

it is an extremely easy install, just plugs in inside the cabin.

UPDATE!?

[mikenacarato]

30 mins till i leave. then oil change will take a few mins. then test drive on the way home. then ill update haha.

[PETERPOOP]

sooooooooooo update?

[mikenacarato]

all i can say is wow. the throttle is so much more responsive down low. when taking off in sp3 mode its like driving a whole new car. not to mention the 1st to 2nd shifts feel a lot torquier (sp?). Definately a good mod once you have done other stuff. I have not dont anything engine wise except for pulleys. i know the 2nd pic may be hard to see where it is but its nice and cleanly installed. :)

I WOT it till I hit my desired speed, so this thing won't work for me.

What people REALLY need is an instant input thingy. A device that'll take away that smoother outer, which saves gas mileage. By doing so, you'd get near instant throttle response, similar to that of a cable system.

But like I said, it would demolish your gas mileage.

[N3misiS]

Noogie,

You should tell me more about the S\C, I am doing the Rotex since it is the only one for my little car, what info do need, will this throttle plug in actually work or is it useless?

[mikenacarato]

thats what this unit is designed to do. give you more instant throttle response...and boy does it!

[PETERPOOP]

hmmm.. sounds enticing.

[LtNoogie]

Noogie,

Will your Rotex S/C run fulltime? The Blitz unit has a 4-position rotary switch that controls when the blower kicks in...Off, 25% throttle, 50% throttle, and 70% throttle. I was told by a Blitz employee that if you run the S/C fulltime, that you will not feel the effect of the Throttle Controller since you're boosting all the time.

If you are able to set your boost turn-on until the higher throttle settings, then the Throttle Controller will get you to boost sooner and make the transition smoother.

[LtNoogie]

I'm glad you liked it. I was at the Blitz garage sale this weekend and almost bought the device but backed down since I have the alternative of boosting all the time.

I did, however, get a Blitz oil cap and radiator cap. Can't say I feel much more power as a result. Only poorer.

[mikenacarato]

i hope your not implying that the controller is functionless like the caps. if so your dead wrong.

[LtNoogie]

No, not at all. I think the controller will give you a much better throttle feel. It has different settings right? It's supposed to reshape your throttle curve compared to the linear curve from the factory.

What I am curious about is how different does it feel from just flooring the pedal with the controller turned off?

[mikenacarato]

it opens up quicker, half pedal is really full pedal with the controller on sp3. the best way to explain it imo is you dont get more power but you get your power quicker...if that makes sense. it really made my shifts into 2nd agressive because the throttle can open up quicker after the shift.

[LtNoogie]

That's the way I understood it too. Enjoy.

[mikenacarato]

supposedly the milder settings react very well with the supercharger.

[Klink10]

Finished the install of the Blitz TC. Thanks to Mikenacarato for putting up with my questions. For the automatic IMO this is a must have. With a stronger throttle response there is no more need to use the auto shifter to get up to speed.

[mikenacarato]

im glad you like it. :)

[marcus]

what about the reverse process i heard ur suppose to turn this off during reverse or buy a special kit.

[mikenacarato]

you can buy the cancel wire for an additional cost. i plan on doing it as soon as the blitz dealer here in nashville gets one in.

[Klink10]

I got the reverse kit with mine, did not install it. It is easier for me just to ck the display at start up to ensure I'm at OFF or ECO before I put it in reverse. I have adopted a rule for myself to make sure to turn off when I shut it down.

[mikenacarato]

it sets itself to off everytime you turn the car off anyways.

[Klink10]

You're right, my bad....should have worded the above to say "check to be sure it's off".

[lammy29]

is it worth buyin the reverse harness too? or jus make sure its switched off wen u put it in reverse?

[supmet]

If you've never forgotten anything in your life, then go ahead and depend on yourself to remember everytime you back up, to turn it off, keeping you from smashing that nice S500 parked behind you.

As for me, I forget to close the garage door about half the time, so I would hook up the reverse cancel.

[lammy29]

stupid question but ima ask anyway wat does the reverse harness do extactly?

[808_Yaris]

reverse cancel harness disengages the blitz throttle controller from working only while you reverse the car. Once you switch over to drive, the controller engages again. Without the reverse cancel harness, you would manually have to shut off the controller or else you would have more power to your acceleration when reversing.
