Genuinely thought these throttle controllers were a gimmick.... Installed mine 2 months ago, wish I’d done it years ago. Makes a phenomenal difference when towing loads for work, driving around the town or crawling up a wooded track. I am temporarily running 35’s on standard diffs, this EVC throttle controller has made my truck feel normal with them on 😍
I don't understand how it works, it's connected to the accelerator, so it's just like shoving your foot down harder, is it not? It's not connected to the engine or ECU, so it has nothing to do with negating the turbo lag, which is controlled by the ECU.
@@ramsnrangers1152 lol. speed of engagement?? WTF You in a 4wd, in low range. No slamming gears in a lambo. Had E locker for years, loved it, would never get anything else. Air lockers always have something go wrong with them, somewhere, sometime. Fact!
@@ultimateadventuresblog6564 my only personal experience with e lockers is in american vehicles engagement is very lacking. i imagine a better computer system would help.
@@micknoname6466 It just brings the power earlier in the throttle when you push the accelerator down. I've got one. I have mine turned off to be honest for better fuel economy. I mainly use it off roading in eco mode where it makes you have a bit more control over wheel spin.
Throttle lag is a real thing. I wondered why my RG Colorado always seemed to drive better when the cruise control was switched on and set to 100-109kph than just using the accelerator peddle. I fitted one of these controllers today and was very surprised with the results! I don't travel light as I usually am fully loaded with a rooftop tent with all the camping and recovery gear etc so it takes a bit to get moving. Now however, it drives like it's empty (I hate to think how it would go if it was empty) and it's great having that unleashed power when I need it!
i had a kings throttle controller in my 3.0l gu patrol it was ok still heaps of lag i then purchased the idrive unit for $229and my god it was like driving a new car with the auto it was awesome back to back fraser trips ultimate 9 through nkgala rocks it was like lets go and ate it easy as. i love it i put into auto mode for everyday driving and it adjusts to your driving style big thumbs up
The throttle controller wouldn't impact turbo lag would it? so the difference in performance would be due to the controller. That's how I saw it anyway
In auto transmission the throttle control screw up your gear change...it won't up shift or down shift when you floor it. Check the video he lift his foot to induce a gear change when he use the throttle control.
I installed one of these in my '19 Mazda CX-9 AWD and it makes a huge difference. I found a bit of mucking around with the setting gives the best personal results. I actually keep it in Eco 5 so I get nice cruisy ride out of it like a big S-Class Mercedes and don't use so much fuel. When I feel like putting the pedal down, I only crank it to Ultimate 5 because U9 is too powerful and I'll chirp front Pirelli's. Great product and I'll definitely be installing in my Hilux Rogue when it eventually arrives...along with a tune of course.
Without sounding like a fool, do these cause any additional engine wear or reliability issues? I’m very tempted! My truck already has 140k miles on the clock so I’m not wanting to kill it 😂 great to actually see a video showing side by side comparisons 👍🏻👍🏻
Put one in my Ranger. Absolutely love it. It changes the response of the engine, not the power whereas a tune is power not the response... Both together would be sweet... They skipped the installation... About 3-5 minutes and you're done. Easiest install of anything.
Great test. Would love to see a egr reduction plate test before and after(not delete). What it does to turbo boost and low end power and the effects it mite have on the economy. Cheers
@@danbaz6906 I’m sorry what? If you launch a car with a throttle it doesn’t matter how sharp your throttle response is, you launch from a set RPM if you really think the 0.5 seconds it took him from the drop the clutch and move down on the throttle is made up by the Idrive you’re delusional.
@Krump 7 not arguing they don’t do anything I have one and it makes a difference to the feel of the car but it does not improve my 0-100 in anyway not with my tests anyways. I’m commenting on the fact that in the test the 2nd run was much more of an hard launch.
@@4x4CampingandAdventures sharper throttle actuates the throttle quicker and earlier in the pedal stroke. So yes, a sharper throttle response would produce a quicker launch.
@@danbaz6906 I’ll explain it this way if you have 100% of the throttle down on a launch you can’t make that any quicker it’s 100% on so in this test when Shauno took off the 2nd time it looked like 3 quarter throttle rather than the half or quarter throttle on the first test again this has nothing to do with the throttle response as the timer they use works on the time the car moves. So having a better start by taking off harder will 100% give you a better time down the other end.
Pedal torq here, 200 series. I realise there is a few makes about now, and they all do the same thing more or less. Having said this, standard 200 series throttle response is ordinary, but its what you get used to, until you get a throttle controller, then you will wonder why you didnt get one sooner. I cant offer any advice on this product in this vid as ive only seen mates with pedal torq's and win boosters in 76/79/200/hilux series and they love them. No, it doesnt give you more power, but they will take away a shit load of lag, eg, your foot used to go down 30% to achieve said response from engine, now it might be say 7%.... dont knock one until you have tried one i say.
got to say i was skeptical about these actually making a difference, but after talking with someone who was not sponsering them at all and buying one. i would recommend them to anyone who asked. Made a huge difference in my patrol.
I've had an IDrive fitted for quite some time on my stock 2014 Auto Nissan Patrol. What impressed me the most was when I first fitted it. My driveway is quite steep, and usually it would kick back to 1st to get up it slowly. Now, with the controller, if I hit the driveway in second, it just powers up there. No lag, before kicking back to 1st gear.
Would be cool to see a test/comparison with factory fitted snorkels vs. aftermarket/custom snorkels and associated air boxes etc, would even be interesting seeing the differences on the Dyno between the 2
Throttle controllers serve a purpose, especially when you set to Eco when you need good control to stop the jerkyness, but the flogs who keep saying it increases power need to be slapped

Emissions, it’s so you can’t close the throttle abruptly and then send unburned fuel down the pipe so it stays open for longer or opens fully after a second
About a month ago I bought my first car, a Turbo Diesel 2007 Hilux sr5 (second hand ofcourse). A week later I got a new vehicle when I put in the throttle controller. HOLY shiiiit it changed from a Slug to a Beast, only mod it has but damnn it's the only one it needs till i get more money!
2011 Challenger 2.5 TD here.. Made zero difference (0-100kph) pre install vs U9. It does make it easier to control and less 'zippy' when using E5 in 4LLc though, so I do rate it for that.
@@priceless9276 It can't. All it does is electronically increase or decrease throttle curve. To use less fuel, don't push the pedal as far as save yourself the cost of the unit
Made a noticeable difference for me. For all your Jeep JK owners there in Australia, install a Dodge Viper throttle body. It's technically the same as their 5.9 trucks, at 70mm. Fuel economy on the highway is better, throttle response overall is better. Other than a cold air intake to match the 70mm opening, it is a 10 minute bolt in upgrade.
@@danbaz6906no chance, you allow for that when you're doing a speed test and accelerate early. It's about how much it improves, doesn't mean don't try give it stick without the controller.
@@neebean in the first run he is guided by his factory throttle parameters, it doesnt matter how hard he stomps his foot he will always get the same launch result.
I bought one of these iDrives in 2020 before the company changed their name. All was good for around 9 months and then all of a sudden the car went to full throttle after entering drive from a cold start. Car was lined up to T bone another car in car park but fortunately I quickly put trans in neutral and turned car off. Unfortunately due to leading a very busy life I did not remove throttle controller and kept it in car. 3 months later piece of junk hit full throttle while going around corner in wet and I lost control. This caused my car to slide across road and into another car causing a serious accident. DO NOT buy one of these pieces of junk. And YES, it was an iDrive not a knock off, I bought it from Autobarn. Get a tune instead, not something from the dodgy pricks advertised here.
Can you test UHF antennas pls. The newer thick models compared with some of the smaller older styles. Suggest you test for hill and distance dbi. Thanks.
Thinking about a throttle controller on new Ranger Wildtrack but actually really want to see you take a Wildtrack out and give it a real workout on one of your trips. One of the most popular 4WD's in Aus so would be really interested to see you try and break one.
Hi Shon, I have a question: Do you recommend to tune the vehicle even if the vehicle is 2008 prado? Because i have heard that it can damage the turbo and the gear. What are your thoughts about this?
M.G. lag take-off .... iDrive EVC715 Ultimate9. Having driven MG vehicles with the take-off, lag that you get when pulling out of an intersection or at traffic lights, etc, is most frustrating, and with the DCT engines, reviewing electronic throttle controllers, they are effective in the response when in motion, but the lag delay up to 2 seconds when pulling away from a stop position makes no noticeable difference from doing a comparison test. So if you want to get one for this specific takeoff lag, sadly don't waste your money. I experimented but was disappointed that it didn't fix this specific lag. I can only speak for the M.G. 2023 HS Excite DCT vehicle.
Best money Ive spent putting one in my Lux and they really do work. Like some in these comments I was one of those that was sceptical about it. Once installed and my first time to drive with it WOW...instant response and couldnt be even more happier.
fitted one of these ( Idrive) units 18 months ago prior to a minor big lap around/thru Oz to my 3.2L BT50 towing 22.5 ft caravan. Found U4 was best setting for our purpose, was great getting across intersections in traffic. I would recommend these to everyone...

Aussies spend their whole worrying about how much power they have,and still drive their crap utes at 109kmph in the outside lane with no F uucks given on their way to the far north,rather than go somewhere decent?????
If they ask so good, why don't manufactures put them as accessories when buying a new vehicle or even put them into the new vehicle in the first place? To take the aftermarket manufacturers out. And no one can give the straight answer. Are you covered by warranty if something happens to the motor and it's still connected to the throttle body loom?
Hey shorno, would love it if you tested navigation devices out. I'm in the market for one and have know idea of which one to go for e.g app on the phone / ipad or dedicated device etc. Thanks mate..
I installed a HikeIt Throttle controller, there are a couple of other brands out there. They do what they say they will do. But when they are on your vehicle also uses more fuel.
My question is...why wouldn't vehicle manufacturers, like Toyota , install these throttle controllers , or adjust the OEM throttle control to behave like this , from the factory?...if they're that great, without any downsides or drawbacks, or am I missing something here?
Usain Bolt beat the Hilux and the 79 on the 100m on road with or without the throttle control hahaha

In the age of variable vane turbos not a lot
Drive a car with electronic throttle vs cable mate, turbo doesn’t have anything to do with that

If they ask so good, why don't manufactures put them as accessories when buying a new vehicle or even put them into the new vehicle in the first place? To take the aftermarket manufacturers out. And no one can give the straight answer. Are you covered by warranty if something happens to the motor and it's still connected to the throttle body loom?
Hey shorno, would love it if you tested navigation devices out. I'm in the market for one and have know idea of which one to go for e.g app on the phone / ipad or dedicated device etc. Thanks mate..
It's could be use U9 on daily use?
Could you test the new mahindra Karoo i want to know is it better then the old mahindra because people tend to compare it to the Toyota cruiser
Shauno i wanna see you test the pedal tourqe kit from TJM! and possibile compare to the idrive
I installed a HikeIt Throttle controller, there are a couple of other brands out there. They do what they say they will do. But when they are on your vehicle also uses more fuel.
last video with the White 79 Shauno
Hi Shaun, can you test Nissan Navarra and why is it not preferred by your group. thanks
Do a test on the LDV T60
Got mine today, was a bit sceptical but it has really made a difference on my navara. Doesn't feel like a diesel anymore.
How do we know if our throttle control have a problem or faulty? Thanks
Is that bribie island where he did the soft sand test ?
Can you change throttle controller settings while driving?
What about fuel economy dose it go up with the throttle controller or dose it stay the same to what you normally get in your pacific vehicle???.?
My question is...why wouldn't vehicle manufacturers, like Toyota , install these throttle controllers , or adjust the OEM throttle control to behave like this , from the factory?...if they're that great, without any downsides or drawbacks, or am I missing something here?
Some manufacturers do have their own versions.
Best locker from Detroit, e lokka, air lockers in front and rear
Just brought one for my navara d22 2.5ltr hopefully doesn’t make a difference
faulty test. applied throttle slowly and foot came away from throttle during stock test run…
Shauno kept saying these are good for newer 4wd, I have a petrol 80 series and I was wondering if this would help with the old girl as well?
Not if it has a cable throttle. Throttle controller only works on drive by wire
Need to find something like that for my hj60 with 2h motor and after market turbo wish it had more pick up
The 79 are pox from factory gotta spend at least 8k to make it Any good
can you please test awnings ? so many options and designs. would bee good to see what you guys think
Mate just roll into the throttle. I get the response thought the modern auto petal feels like a rubber band. No connection
It’s a great feature for the WIFES Prado full of kids pulling onto the highway from our driveway , my opinion anyways it’s a piece of mind
Test out the Sherpa winches! Made right there in Australia.
You dont need power on the sand. Let you tyres down more.
Mate, that 79 has everything in it! What a beast!!
