I think you feel a difference between using 93 and 87. I even feel a difference between having a third of the gas tank full and a full tank. feels as if it responds better and better exhaust note imo lol
We are doing a special right now for under $150.
Contact me for more detail.
Since most of the small compact car doesn't get (aren't worth it) tunning option. Adjustable throttle controller turns out to be a good alternative. Though T/C won't give you any extra hp, but it will change the way your car performs and give out more linear acceleration. It will also help eliminate that initial throttle lag for most of the modern Drive-by-wire car.
Most ppl see this mod as a fake performance mod. However, the key here is not just the throttle response, it's the "adjustable" part that plays the important role.
Of course you can get tune for $300-$500 for better throttle response, but it doesn't come w/ adjustable part. You can't chage your throttle response at your will at anytime.
Here are a couple examples on when to use ETC adjustable throttle controller
Sp1-4 more linear acceleration for daily drive
Sp5-7 immediate respose is good for drag racing, mountain drifting, heel-and-toe action
Eco 1-3 is good for daily commute
Eco4-5 really saves your fuel in heavy stop-n-go traffic
i would just leave mine set to performance all the time. never be caught with your guard down and i always drive spirited
Sports 7 mode will get your throttle regulator wide open in no time for immediate throttle response.
Please feel free to post up questions or comments.
We have sold more than 200 kits and really wanna let everyone know this product really works/helps on your ride.
Just curious if the car is set to run eco mode how soft is the throttle? Thinking about buying one just for the use of a shop box/tune.

I got the TC in this morning and installed it right away. I love SP-7 man that thing now drives like the rabbits did in the 70's love it. I have a question though can I change TC while the car is on or do I have to shut it off every time I want to change

In EC5 on the highway does it actually have a different throttle position lets say at 70 mph than on normal mode. So that would be the gas saving per mile or in acceleration.
Ha now that I have this I want a CAI which I dont know what to get and a header.

I love it when someone else refers to the old VW Rabbit if comparison to the Fit. The similarities are what first caught my interest. You can change settings while driving but it can be a little scary to do in heavy traffic because your speed will increase or decrease in relation to your foot position on the throttle. Your actual throttle opening at any constant speed will be the same regardless of what setting you are using but by using the readout in Eco mode you are able to see the position of the opening and use it as a tool to attain better mileage...In that way you can accelerate toward the bottom of a hill with less throttle than you would use than if you waited to accelerate after you were already going up the next hill allowing you to use less throttle to maintain your speed until you are further up the the incline then lift off the throttle earlier just before the top relying on gravity and less throttle on the down side... Observing the readout along with the slower reacting throttle in EC5 at staying off the boost has been good for a 10% increase in fuel mileage for me. SP7 and being crazy yielded about -15% but it was sure fun.
the way i see it, sport mode basicly makes it open up faster as you push down the skinny pedal. so for example, "stomp all the way down to the floor stock", and there yea go. introduce sport mode, and you will get to that "stomp down to the floor stock" by only pressing the pedal 75% of the way. econo mode is the reverse, making it so you will never get to 100% throttle, thus saving fuel. sounds handy, tho id hate tapping the gas and having the car take off like a bat outta hell id laugh as my tires squeel.
ATC kit won't make you ECU throw more fuel. ATC won't change any fuel, ignition, or air in you ECU mapping. ATC simply amplifys or shrinks the signal being sent to throttle regulator to let you have faster or slower response.
We do get a lot of comments saying throttle controller is a piece of junk doing the same thing that our right foot can do. This might be right for all the turbo monster car w/ loads of HP&TQ. Cuz they won't feel the difference of that 0.5 secs. However, for all the NA folks, that .5 sec is essential at launch or initiation.
Thinking about cutting a corner, you right foot has more time to switch between brake and acceleration. That means you can brake later before the corner and get out the the corner faster w/ just a light tap on acceleration.
On the other hand, the Eco mode is very good for stop-n-go city driving.
