yeah they are a wank, just push the pedal further. it just pretends that you did exactly that.

it pretty much just amplifies the signal sent to the ECU from the TPS. waste of money IMO

check out the V35 forum, there is/was a big discussion there

You need a controller that sits on the OTHER side of the ecu - ie. between the ecu and the throttle body. Now if only you could then link that signal directly to the pedal one and make it 100% linear all the time...(except then the ecu would most probably complain).

Part of me thinks there must be enough benefit in the drive-by-wire setup for nissan (and just about all other manufacturers) to go down that path. Someone once told me it has something to do with maximising torque output etc and also fuel economy...not sure if thats true.

But yeah it'd be nice to be able to override the ecu's mysterious handling of the pedal signal. I doubt its possible in practice though...

I have one, and they arent a wank, they just wont help fix a laggy throttle. I use mine on economy mode to give me more resolution at low pedal position. Saves me fuel and tickets.

Sounds like jealousy to me... :rofl:

Wifes SAAB does something similar in Sports mode, shortens up the pedal, and really does feel much sportier... Firms up the shift points for the auto as well.. Wish we had that on the M35s..

Disco goes the other way, and has off road mode... De-sensitises the throttle so that you don't launch the car over a hill if you accidently jab the loud pedal.

Sounds like a wank to me :) Maybe a tighter controlled over the right foot would net the same result?

rofl, the fiat does the same thing in non sports mode. that said, i dont think ive ever switched off sports mode. the throttle is WAAAAAY too laggy.

i drive the M35 to work today for the first time in a month. damn i love boost

    • Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.
    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
