Sounds interesting.. Please keep us posted.. Im sure many will follow if.. it makes the vehicle more responsive.

 

On the Blitz site..go to products, then electronic, and click throttle controller.

$420.00

 

Cheapest place I found was ebay $357. Probs be a week to get to me, will let you know.

 

Which model number did you order?
The correct one should be 14660 which doesn't seem available in the USA if appliable.
Plus the US spec units don't use the same product/code number as Japan.
(For example, 14666 for GS350/430 in Japan and 10411 for GS350/430 in US)

Thanks Talwang yes the SC430 should be 14660

 

Keep us posted Aqua.The one I was going to buy is from Sprintbooster. Is this unit plug and play? Ilike how youcan adjust it andhave 3 presets

 

Gamma check out the two videos in this thread. Its plug and play 20 minutes to install and you can see the effect it has on the throttle.

Have you seen the posts? Says its pretty worthless as there are no true gains..?

 

Im not sure what you mean, there will be no gains.

Its for taking out the lag on initial acceleration caused by the drive by wire thats all, no gains in power, hp etc.

If anyones interested I have a contact who can get the 14660 SC430 unit.

 

That's a cool toy. I'm really interested to hear how effective it is.

Also wondering if Economy mode is going to retard the throttle response even more, or maybe just bypass the blitz throttle controller all together, to basically give you a stock throttle response.

Are there any posts yet by someone who has it installed?

 

I will let you know but will be a couple of weeks still as I have to wait for the next container to be shipped from Japan then its going to California and then back to me in the UK.

If you look at the image graph it shows that even the economy mode takes out the lag at the start. TBH I would think the SP3 mode would be really overkill. The car should feel alot fast and responsive just because you have to do less to get to that point.

 

I'm REALLY looking forward to hearing aquanuke's opinion of this thing in action.

I know, according to that article, it won't make a difference when you just floor it but, I get most frustrated when you want to a bit faster and the car doesn't want to go...you have to press the go pedal further than (I think) you should have to. The car needs a mode that's sportier than "Power".

 

I cant wait either hopefully it will work on the us spec luckily you have a soarer. Id love to be able to use this with the economy mode

 

any update yet aqua?

 

Sorry still waiting gammalex.
