- FUNCTION OF DIFFERENT DRIVING MODES
➪ Normal mode : your car is returned to its original factory setting , recover its natural performance .
➪ Econ mode : slower throttle response , more comfortable and environmentally friendly , suitable for congested roads , perfect fuel consumption
➪ Sport mode : improve throttle response , eliminate throttle delay , suitable for urban roads , pursuing the balance between sport and environmental protection .
➪ Sport+ mode : better throttle response , sufficient power , perfect overtaking weapon , suitable for expressway , race track driving .
➪ Race mode : the fiercest acceleration mode , the fastest acceleration response among the sport mode , suitable for racing , pursue ultimate driving pleasure .
➪ i-Auto mode : Identify driving habits automatically , provide the best response for the driver , no mode selection worries
- Why should I install a electronic throttle controller ?
Modern cars are constantly being changed , mostly because of advancements in electronics . More and more vehicle systems that were previously mechanically controlled are now controlled by the vehicle's computer . One such new system is electronic throttle control , commonly known as drive-by-wire .
The drive-by-wire system has its limitations however , the main problem being that throttle response time is significantly slower . Throttle response , also known as a vehicle's responsiveness , is a measure of how fast an internal combustion engine can raise its power output from a low RPM to a higher more powerful RPM in response to a driver's request for acceleration; pushing the pedal down . Throttle response is often jumbled with better power; however throttle response is actually a measurement of the time taken for a change in power output .
As car guys , we all appreciate the need for speed and thrill of pushing our cars to newer limits , and slower throttle response will just increase the time it takes to get to your vehicle's max power . To address the problem , R&D team of Windbooster has developed a new system to override the factory electronic throttle control settings , which have a noticeable time delay . The Electronic Throttle Controller , is a great addition to add that extra "UMMPHH" to your drive-by-wire vehicle .
Windbooster throttle controller will basically bypass the computer in the vehicle . The controller is designed to take the information right from the accelerator pedal position sensor and compile it in a high speed controller circuit . It also slightly advances that number and then sends it directly to the computer through the OBDII port located under the driver's side knee bolster . By sending the information to the computer this way a couple of checks can be bypassed that the ECM (engine computer) will make before sending the signal to open the throttle plate . With this controller you have several different programming options; however the throttle response timing will be noticeably faster .
