i know it does not make car go faster.i did try on power mode and i dont really see any quick response from gas pedal.i would like see some review before im gonna buy it.i did google and all i see isf people have it.if anyone have one on is 250 please let me know.Thank for your help

 

one of my co-worker have it on his 06 250, it's doesn't make it go faster, but it make it feels a lot a faster when picking up speed. but his MPG drops slightly.

 

is it plug and play for the 250?

 

It's plug and play for any car with electronic throttle.

All it does is plug in between where the gas pedal plug is.

And all it's doing is lying about how far you pushed the gas pedal.

It doesn't change the ECUs response to the gas pedal input... it can't do that. It just changes how much gas the ECU thinks you gave the car.

You get the same actual response for free by pushing the gas pedal harder, but it doesn't trick your brain if you do that like the "throttle controller" does


And after a few weeks if you leave it on all the time your own brain tunes it back out-

That is if today you normally hit the gas 25%, and the TC tells the engine you hit it 40%, the "response" feels faster because the car reacts like you hit it 40%...

so after a couple weeks, because your normal driving style is 25%, you will subconsciously start to only hit it 10%, which the TC will tell the car was closer to 25%...and thus reaction will move back to how it normally is.

It only really remains "useful" if you only use it occasionally... and I put useful in very loose quotes.

It's a fun toy to use once in a while but does not improve actual performance in any measurable way.

 

Thank for all the review.i will gonna buy one.it look like what i need.its not expensive.im just tired when step harder on the gas pedal.my feet get tired all day long because of my job.

 

wow......how about something like a safc or something? would that be better?

 

Better at what?

a SAFC will give you about 10 hp for 50-100 miles, at which point the ECU will tune the difference back out.

Might be useful to get some 1/4 mile runs in, but not for daily use.

No useful tuning is available for the 2IS until you get into the $750-1500 range (MAPECU3, HKS F-con type piggybacks)

 

Kurtz has a valid point. I have mine installed for about 6 months. I love it when I use it. I only use it when I am up in the mountains or when I remember to engage it. I have a manual transmission IS250 and it really makes my take off feel better. But like Kurtz said it may be all subconsciously.......but I like my Blitz Throttle Controller when I use it, but most of the time it stays in ECO or OFF. Hope this helps

 

I have the Blitz in my manual 250 also and like it when I use it. Feels like you're going faster.

 

Why not just put a lighter spring on the pedal?

Kind of like putting a sticker over your speedometer that starts at 20 mph...

 

so Blitz and Apexi are the way to go on this mod?

 

same thing as speedbooster
this guy here in Toronto has it
stupidest mod imo
