Basically it's a module that allow the driver to adjust what's called... the "Throttle-Curve"

It alters the values between the actual-throttle-position and the ECU-throttle-position.

Therefore, when the gas pedal is 50% depress and ECU might thought it's at 60% or 70%.

By reading its diagram, the adjustment is most effective through the mid-range.

I am not sure how much it can improve/correct the problem that Mr.kenchan is experience since he is complaining the initial throttle-response.

Which...the pedalbox has the minimum effect on that position.

My opinion, this module is more suitable for track use since the driver can:


1) Adjust the throttle-response according to different track lay-out.

2) weather condition (dry/high traction surface more responsive vs wet/low traction less responsive)



On top of that, I am wondering the adjustment will lose its "effectiveness", not from the device itself, but the driver itself will get used to responsiveness of the throttle.


alcheng's conclusion: Save the $499.

Mr.kenchan... I hope the HU inside is ok.. it's sucks the way how the courier company treats the package but I was "wow" by the quick delivery, I thought you just ordered it yesterday, right? :tup:

Usually the retailer will fill the whole big box with tons of foam and bubble wraps and stuffs like that, I am pretty sure the HU is in good shape... :tup:

Mr. Ken-San - Are you trying to get rid of that god-awful lurch in 1st that we experience off the line? I heard that an Uprev tune will take care of that.

Thoughts? Comments?

does this make it any better? this is how americans talked to me when i didnt understand english well at first.

HEY MY HU'S ALREADY ON THE WAY TO ME. NOT THAT I CAN INSTALL IT YET... I NEED TO WAIT FOR MY DINOC FIRST. DINOC. DINOC YOU KNOW, THAT CARBON FIBER LAMINATE? DINOC!!! YOU KNOW? DIAAAINOC!!!!!!! YAH, THAT THAT. YAH.

DEPENDING ON HOW WARM, YOU KNOW, TEMPERATURE, WARM NOT HOT HOT HOT, JUST WARM, THIS WEEKEND.. YOU KNOW, SAAAAATURDAY AND SUUUUNDAY, YA? I WILL DO THE NEW HEADUNIT INSTALL. HEADUNIT IS CAR STEREO. YES, CAAAAARRRR SSSSSSSTEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRREEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO O!!!!

IM GOING TO WIRE UP, YOU KNOW, HOOK IT UP... UMMM... LIKE INSTALL IT? YOU KNOW SCREW DRIVER AND TOOLS. YAH, TOOLS, NOT FOOLS LIKE YOU KIMOSABI, WAIT DO YOU LIKE SUSHI? YAH, SUSHI? YOU LIKE IT? YAH, YOU KNOW WAAASAAAAAAAAABI? YAH, THAT'S HOT!!!

SO ANYWAY, AFTER 4-5 YEARS OF USE, NONO NOT YOUR EARS, YYYYEAAAAAAAAAAAAARS, OF USE IF I SELL THE CAR, NEXT PERSON CAN USE THE BLUE TOOTH TO ANSWER CALLS. YOU KNOW PHONE CALLS.... PIRRRRRR,,,, PIRRRRRR,,,, HELLO? HELLO? YOU KNOW, PHONE CALLS. YAH... YOU CALL JAPAN? DO YOU SAY KONNNIICCHIIIWAAA? YAH? OH, YOU SAY MUSHI MUSHI? OH, MOSHI MOSHI? WHAT'S MOSHI MOSHI? WHAT? AHEM..ANYWAY....

SO MY OTHER QUESTION WAS, DOES ANYONE USE PEDAL BOX? YAH, YOU KNOW, GAS PEDAL? PUSH IT GO VROOOOOM VROOOOM? YOU KNOW ON YOUR CAR, YOU PUSH GAS PEDAL. YAH, ON THE 370Z, YOU GUYS CALL IT FAIR LADY, ANYWAY, YAH, 370Z, PEDAL YOU PUSH BUT NO IMMEDIATE VROOM.... IT TAKES LIKE A SPLIT SECOND. NO, NOT SPIT, DONT SPIT. SPLIT SECOND. YAH, YOU KNOW LIKE PUSH .....THEN VRRRRRRROOOOMM. YOU KNOW THAT DELAY. NO NOT ECHO. JUST DELAY. PEDALBOX FIXES THAT. SO YOU PUSH, AND INSTANT VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! YAH, THAT'S GOOOD.

WELL I FOUND OUT IT HOOKS UP TO THE PEDAL CABLE AND NOT THE OBD2 PORT. OBD2 PORT. NONO, NOT R2D2. NOT STARWARS. HEY, DO YOU KNOW RETURN OF THE JEDI? YAH, NO, THOSE ARE CALLED LITESAVER, NOT LIFESAVER LIKE CANDY. YAH, ANYWAY, SINCE I ALREADY HAVE A MODULE HOOOKED UP TO THE OBD2, I CANT USE IT FOR ANYTHING ELSE. SO THE PEDALBOX HOOKING UP TO THE GAS CABLE IS A GOOD THING.

YOU UNDERSTAND? YAH?
