Default Quicker drive-by-wire throttle response

Check this out, though I see this as more for the canyon/road course enthusiasts


Spring Booster Drive-by-wire accelerator

1. You obviously didn't read the part of the first post that says "FOR CANYON/ROAD COURSE DRIVING ENTHUSIASTS"

2. It wouldn't matter for you anyways cuz you have cable throttle...

Pointless? Maybe...

So it tricks the TPS into a higher voltage making it open the throttle plate wider at each throttle position? So wouldn't pressing your foot down more accomplish the same thing? When you hit WOT, it's not like the throttle plate can open more anyway. I dunno, I'm just thinking out loud. Not sure how this device works.

Some of the DBW cars have a slight delay between you pushing down the pedal and the blade in throttle body actually opening, so this device is used to get rid of the delay. Although I have never heard of the S2K having this problem?

Real enthusiasts don't care about their car "feeling" faster.

You may be right about teenagers that do canyon runs.

This mod is pointless on a DBW S2000 as our cars have a great system. Can't even tell the difference between my 03' & 07'.
