Blitz throttle controller

[808_Yaris]

I bought the blitz throttle controller because I wanted a more sensitive acceleration when the pedal was pressed.

Some info off the blitz web site: Recent trend of automobile equipped with Electric Controlled Throttle Valve replaced from Mechanical Throttle Valve (Cable type). The electrically controlled throttle valve is one of updated technology in automobile industry and the technology brings a precise throttle valve control enable to adjust acceleration characteristic for much more fuel conservative yet causing gap in acceleration response in the other end.

BLITZ Throttle Controller eliminates acceleration gap as much as possible by converting electric signal by the use of pre-programmed characters (modes). Throttle Controller is an item which improves acceleration response.

The unit includes Vehicle Specific Wire Harness, which makes Plug & Play easy installation (some vehicle may require 12v power wiring). Most application simply plugs in Vehicle Specific Wire Harness in between a accelerator-pedal position sensor and a factory stock wiring which is most of time located close to accelerator pedal. Display Units and Control Box are separated individually made display unit light and compact enough to place easy on dashboard area.

BLITZ Throttle Controller is a most reliable unit among in the market as well as an easiest solution to improve accelerator response.

Plug on top of the acceleration pedal that I'm connecting to. I put a mirror on the side of the plug so you can see how to take the plug off.

Plug off. Took it off with my hand, it was a little hard to take off, but I eventually unplugged it.

Other Blitz plug connecting to the other plug that comes from the car engine. Sorry, I don't know what to call the plugs, but it's pretty self explanatory.

From there, plug the plugs into the blitz module. I positioned the module behind my AC contols.

*******IF INSTALLING THE REVERSE CANCEL HARNESS*********

Reverse cancel harness comes with a pink wire about 10 feet long. It's optional, but I'd highly recommend it because I did not want my acceleration pedal to be jumpy when reversing. I basically connected the pink wire to the module, the manual shows which pin to input the wire. I then ran the wire to my positive side of the back left reverse light. I tried to locate where the reverse wire was in the car, since I was lazy, but played it safe and ran the pink wire to the reverse light in the back. Pics are below

I tapped into the reverse light in the back, but forgot to take a pic. Position the controller wherever is most convenient for you, and enjoy!!

Modes for Controller
eco-better to use this for daily driving
sp1-feel the acceleration at startoff-good for regular driving

sp2-medium acceleration at startoff-good for medium driving

sp3-jumpy acceleration at startoff-good for highway use

messy on the reverse cancel wire...but how was the drive..and how much did you get it.

[AlainMikli]

:thumbup:Yeah

[PHXDEMON]

How expensive are these again? Did it really make that much of a difference?

[marcus]

$420 usd on the website but maybe cheaper somewhere else..

sprint booster is $320 canadian but no adjustments and cancel wire.

[PHXDEMON]

For 420 bucks it better suck my dick :laugh:

yeah the reverse cancel wire was just for pics. i zip-tied everything neatly. i got it for 370

[808_Yaris]

:thumbup:Yeah

the throttle response, is better even though it does not give you hp gains. in my opinion, its worth it :thumbup:

this is the 1st thing I want to buy when I bought my yaris, since the response of drive by wire is tooo slow for me...

the reason I still haven't bought it yet as because I thought it was pluging into the OBDII, and I can't live without the GReddy Informeter Touch(which plug into the OBDII)

Now, it is the next upgrade I MUST get:tongue:

[supmet]

i got it for 370

I'd be surprised if the production costs broke $3.70

[808_Yaris]

I'd be surprised if the production costs broke $3.70

haha that'd be too cheap!!

This thread should be titled DIY: Blitz Throttle Controller.
What are the different modes? I noticed ECO (which is probably stock) and then there are SP1, SP2, SP3. What are they like? Have you tried those out?

[cali yaris]

I'll have a couple of these in stock this week in case anyone is interested

i've tried all the modes out.

eco-better to use this for daily driving
sp1-feel the acceleration at startoff
sp2-medium acceleration at startoff
sp3-jumpy acceleration at startoff-good for highway use

you have to understand that if you plan on using the highest setting. it will burn gas! :evil:

[808_Yaris]

i'd recommend anyone who's interested in the Blitz controller to jump on this. for it's money, it's worth it!! get it from garm at MICROIMAGE

[yarisugi]

haha! Yes, clearly understood. But with all those mods, who's concerned about gas? So is "eco" same as stock?

[808_Yaris]

eco is a little better than stock. i still notice a slight difference.

[marcus]

hmm i wonder how much garm will sell this..with cancel wire...pricing pls..

[808_Yaris]

I'm sure it'll be better than how much I paid for it ;)

[808_Yaris]

will move into diy section and post more pics soon!

[Klink10]

Had one for awhile. Eco is now my driving mode. I have an AT and it really feels like with the Blitz the shift points have changed. In ECO mode I'm still able to get 39-41 MPG. Again, Garm will be offering these at a decent price.

[botchilah]

I knew I shouldn't have opened this thread!!! There's one lying around in my shop right now hahahahaha!

ECO is good for the daily driver, and when you want a little more power, that's when SP1, SP2, and SP3 come into play. I was suprised that ECO is still friendly to my gas lol.

[AlainMikli]

Installed today in 15 mins, Super Easy:tongue:

Mine Controller didn't came with the reverse cancel harness:frown:


No delay on shifting any more!!!
I'll say this should be the 1st mod on every yaris:headbang::headbang::headbang::headbang:

[808_Yaris]

Nicee. The reverse cancel harness was optional.

[lammy29]

hey garm you do this with the reverse thing?

[808_Yaris]

i'm sure he can, it's just a pink wire with a pin that you can connect to the harness. i'm even sure that you can make one if your local parts store carries it. i thought it was pricey just for the reverse cancel harness that i could've made.

[lammy29]

is it better to have one or jus turn off wen in reverse?

[808_Yaris]

it's better to have one.

[tk-421]

Could someone please post a pic of the reverse wire harness/cable? I may do this mod, but I'm not planning on paying extra for a couple of parts that I can DIY for a lot less.

[808_Yaris]

do you have the controller already?

[tk-421]

do you have the controller already?
Nope... Just testing the waters... I have a few choices ahead of me. :biggrin:

well looking back at alainmikli's photo...take a look at the plug with the most wires coming out of it. The reverse cancel wire basically connects to the far left pin, by itself. So if you wanted to do a diy, then i would buy a pin connector, and some 18 guage wire. That's all you need! And just wire your reverse cancel wire to the reverse light of the car.

[cali yaris]

yeah I didn't really know about that wire, for the money they really should just include it.

[AlainMikli]

is it better to have one or jus turn off wen in reverse?

I've try to manuel turn it off when I back up, however.....

I can't drive my car when the controller is off:tongue:

I just keep it in SP2 all the time...

[808_Yaris]

^ lol i drive on SP1. can't get enough of it :laugh:

[Terrorize]

I have the reverse harness if anyone is interested...its just a pink cable.....i didn't install it...don't really need it as i usually reverse only when i start up my car..and when i do that the controller is already in off mode.

[lammy29]

if its cheap & to uk?

[chongopants]

Yeah bump!

[808_Yaris]

thanks! blitz controller is a good investment, and can be purchased at microimageonline.com.

[hatchbackkid82]

That was funny sh*t:laugh:

For 420 bucks it better suck my dick :laugh:

[y75]

What do you think of this,is more cheap. Is a similar of Pivot
this controller work,or is placebo effect:iono:

[cali yaris]

as long as it's plug 'n play, it's pretty much the same thing, it remaps the throttle signal from the pedal to the ECU.

[808_Yaris]

from my experience...i'd rather go with the trusted brands. blitz was good enough for me :biggrin:
