D/E-Drive Throttle Controller?

Anyone tried this thing? It's basically like the Sprint Booster, but it's adjustable and has multiple settings. It's also only $120. Apparently the Versa, Mazda 6, Honda, and Lexus/Toyota crowds love it. They make one for the G35 (Skyline).

I would try it since it's cheaper than what's out there now by over $100. I have the blitz throttle controller which only has 4 settings this one has 12.

Dave you will like it since you like to race from time to time like I do. I wonder if their SP12 setting is the same as the SP3 setting on the blitz.

SP3 throws you into the seat if you not expecting it because it's so sensitive.

its not 12 settings. its 3 modes, sports mode has 7 settings, eco mode has 5.


isn't this like a throttle pedal mutiplier in a way. say your physically 50% on the throtttle it will send a signal that your 75%. but you can always just not install it and really be at 75% throttle...

I think i read somewhere stock ECU at WOT only does like 90-95% open throttle, with a reflash it will do 100% open throttle at WOT... i think thats where the peak gain comes from, i'm not 100% sure on this, i think i read it somewhere here a WHILE back. This would only be good if your not tuned with uprev, if you are already tuned then this would be pointless...

A nice add-on at a small price compared to Blitz or SprintBooster

Any reviews? Our throttle response sucks; I'm surprised more people don't have this.

I actually have this but it was used on my tc, ill probably need to get a different harness.

Anyway, all this really does is multiply how much you push your footpedal in by different multipliers. In my tc i felt a little difference since it was an auto but nothing dyno'd officially. Also helps ALOT if you have a heavy foot cause itll just multiply it down and when your pressing it down 50% itll be like your pressing it down 20% or so. To me it helped gas mileage a bit just cause i didnt accelerate as fast as when it was normal. And the sport mode does feel pretty cool to be able to floor it when your only pressing the pedal in like 30%

G35 sedan w/ too much money in mods
IMHO the better choice would be to save a little more and get tuned with Osiris. One of my favorite results of the tune was instantaneous throttle response. The tune re-programs the throttle plate to open 100% at WOT rather than the 75% max Nissan programs into the TB.

And that's just one of the many benefits of Osiris.
