can i still buyy from the group buy??

 

Yes, GB price will lock in at $129 shipped to US lower 48 states till the end of July!!

 

and how does "FLAT version" differs from a regular one ?

 

Paid,
Please make sure its for 2007 Scion tc, manual transmission.

 

pm me when you have the memory mode back,i miss it

 

Flat version comes w/ redesigned display module (smaller and thinner).

Function wise, w/the same 12 step adjustability, new Flat version does better calibration to your ECU w/o causing CEL problem.

TWP

does it work better then the one i have the older version,i mean as far as the throttle response or is it the same,or does it just work with the ECU better

 

and just to confirm,
This ATC will NOT mess with my Hydra and my tuned map in ANY way right ? it's just going to open throttle faster then stock.

 

Hi Kids:

Check out the appended images:

I haven't even broken the seal on either box. And since my Taiwanese Hokkien and Mandarin fluency skills are a little rusty, I can't decipher much that's written on the boxes. But they are very nice boxes!

I am fat and old; I am therefore going to wait until YOU install your throttle controllers and show me how YOU think it best to route the wires. But wait, I can't do that, I'm the only one with an xB. S**T! [Note the "car-specific" harness.]

Anyway, with the teeny-weenie caveat that I will be rather disappointed if my ETC doesn't work or if I paid $129 for an empty,"FLAT" (15mm!) plastic box, I must say that I am entirely satisfied with Panson's communications and the alacrity with which he shipped these items to me. (Three days: Texas to Wisconsin)

Thanks Panson!

 

youll feel the difference right away,i was the same way didnt think much of it,but had it for awhile and still loving it put it in SP3 and go WOT

 

Thanx my06tc, that's good to hear!

I must admit that I flat-out don't believe Toyota designed our cars to never deliver 100% of "Wide Open Throttle" no matter what the driver requests with his/her foot. Neither do I believe that these controllers can effect any built-in throttle lag that's been programmed into the ECU. I may well be wrong, but it would appear the gas pedal module is simply a rheostat - a digital potentiometer - and our throttle controllers can therefore function only by mediating the voltage ordinarily associated with a given location of the throttle pedal, but not the algorithm controlling how quickly the throttle body's butterfly will begin to rotate.

That said, I want a car to do absolutely NOTHING for me: no seat belts, no air bags, no padded dashes, no automatic locks, windows, or transmissions, no power brakes, no power windows, no warnings, alarms, or blinking lights - NOTHING WHATSOEVER! This gadget gives me back a little control!

yup exactly people say if you wanna go fast go WOT,but even at that,its not to the full potential of the car,but then you get used to it,but with the throttle controller as u mention is regulates the voltages and what not and corrousponds to the ECU,cause stock settings its bascially halfway in before you actually get the car moving yea its easier to get the car moving for the beginners and what not,but the throttle controller actually you can feel it in the pedal the difference,the more mods you have the better ill perform,i ususally go back and fourth between SP1-SP3 depending if i wanna save gas or not,i something use stock mode,its a great tool to have,its a great toy to have,overall car feels alot more responsive or not responsive depending on the mode,for me i wish they had the memory mode back so this way when the car is turned off and back on il stay within the setting you had it at,cause i forget sometimes and its not a hassle but kinda annoying for me to put it back every startup,thats just me though,overall i reommend it

 

I think they did that as a safety feature. Because not every household has a car for each member for example what if you use the car, then you g/f or wife, then your mom etc... and if they do not expect the car to be quicker then usual they will probably or will have more of a chance to crash it.. that's just my .02.

 

Hey:

To anyone who might be interested, I have a small amount of feedback and advice relating to the "Group Buy" 'FreePower' throttle controller installation. I installed mine today in my Scion '09 xB.

1) First, the installation is easy - i.e., provided you're reasonably agile and svelte, which I am NOT - and the unit worked first time out. No "Err" codes or any other problems.

2) I have found the "SP3" setting most closely mimics the throttle response I get driving my '74 MGB; others will find a setting that suits them too, I have no doubt. I'm quite happy and would repeat the purchase knowing what I know now.

Now for a couple of complaints:

1) The single page of instructions includes an admirably clear schematic of how the unit's components are interconnected. However, it is with the flip-side of the duplex-printed instruction sheet, which attempts to describe the final programming steps which must be performed after the hardware's been installed, that I take issue. (If the unit initialization isn't performed, the throttle controller won't function at all.) My point is that these programming instructions are written in the worst, most god-awfully bad English I've ever had the misfortune to try to read and then decipher.

2) As I said, this tortured English prose is intended to guide the consumer through the steps required to teach the new throttle controller unit what specific voltages correspond to your car's gas pedal position at 0% and 100% depression, respectively. Simple, huh? But the steps describing this procedure are anything but simple; they are in fact incomprehensible.

3) One of the setup steps is flat-out wrong and, as a result, I had to experiment for 30 minutes before I figured out how to complete the unit's configuration. [No doubt other users and forums have also discovered this error, but I didn't feel like doing the requisite Internet searching to find out.] Anyway, in Step 2 of the programming (or "SetUp") instructions, the user is directed to hold the "Mode" button down while the display counts down from 7 to 0, at which point the instructions say to release the "Mode" button. WRONG!!! You should continue holding down the "Mode" button for another second or two until the (L)ow throttle voltage number is displayed (and flashing). THEN AND ONLY THEN, you should press the "Set" button. Now mash down the pedal all the way, and hit the "Set" button again. Now you're done! (Once you know how, it takes about 10 seconds - literally - to program the unit for a specific car.) The entire setup procedure requires that you have the key switched on but the motor off, and you're also - according to the fine print - supposed to have the display showing (Nor)mal, by the way.

4) My final _____ is that the one reasonably intelligible sentence in the instructions states unequivocably that your car will remember whatever the throttle controller's setting/mode had been when the car's ignition was last switched off. This too is wrong - the unit returns to "Nor(mal)" every time you start up the car.

Anyway, I'm very glad I didn't pop $350 for a Blitz unit ...

Please see attachment as a supporting document we made to clarify some confusion during programming process.

At previous version ATC, we had had customer launched at his driveway w/o knowing his vehicle being set at Sports 7 and nearly killed a stranger on sidewalk.

For safety reason, we changed the programming and have the New Flat version ATC revert back to normal mode everytime when engine being turned off.

TWP
