This thing only adjusts pedal linearity. This is something that's often adjustable in sim racing, with pedals. Players will do things like, set the brake curve so that it's limited to 80% so they can just push the brake all the way and never lock up, or they will set the throttle curve so that most of the pedal travel isn't enough to spin the wheels so they don't need to be as precise when driving high horsepower cars. This pedal commander thing is doing the same thing. Being able to finely adjust throttle linearity for certain racing related scenarios would be useful. But for road use don't bother. Any effect you think it's having is purely psychological because your pedal's linearity curve is mapped differently than what you have grown accustomed to.
What’s your point? I’m in iRacing and do as you say, no matter how you look at it, Pedal Commander is making a difference, even if it’s just the curve. I just installed in my RAM 1500, and the difference is substantial not psychological. Let’s call it a curve adjustment, there are many adjustments to the curve, subtle or substantial, linear or not, there is a difference to the throttle response, the delay is significantly reduced. Again, so what’s your point? Always someone to try and spoil the party.
@@shaggywagshaggywag I'm saying this is the type of thing you buy when you've already got a tuned car and need the extra adjustment for control during racing. Being able to set your throttle curve especially in something like a drag racing launch, can make it hell of a lot easier to launch the car without excessive wheelspin. Or maybe if you do offroading, you want an even less sensitive pedal so you can avoid digging yourself into a hole. The only "delay" that exists is your foot pushing the pedal to the floor. But most people are just going to buy this thing and make 1 inch of pedal movement map to 100% open throttle valve, making 90% of their pedal useless. And then they'll pretend they made a big improvement in "power" because now their car goes full throttle at the slightest tap Basically, this mod is like a big brake kit. People buy it for the wrong reasons and then end up being no better than stock.
Hello I installed this pedal for Toyota Corolla 2015, it is very good You just have to be careful in the sport plus mode because it takes the car out of its stability mode at high speeds and especially in corners.
@@jb6574 No it won’t. ECU tuning won’t effect the throttle lag to the throttle body. It will make the acceleration more responsive. But won’t adjust the lag from the pedal to the throttle body. I’ve had these on my tuned Supra and GTR. Pedal Commander makes a difference outside the ECU tuning. Try it and you’ll see
@@BrosFOURRSpeed tuners can do what the pedal commander is doing is what I'm saying. If the throttle pedal input is at 50% and the actual throttle plate is at say 45 open, the tuner can adjust it so that the throttle pedal and throttle plate inputs actually match or are closer. The closer both are in matching the less lag you'll have.
@@BrosFOURRSpeedso if my 23 Camry 2.5l has a d3 tune that has an enhanced throttle tune, the pedal commander will do it better? Because even with the enhanced tune still feels laggy
I would say that on a NA car it can and does increase acceleration times. I have a Audi s6 v10 that gets 0-60 in 5.1 stock and tuned they get 4.8 and I was able to get 3.8 with the pedal commander and tune. I would assume a supercharged car would be similar but a turbo probably wouldn’t change it much since the turbo has to spool no matter what.
Wow impressive! Yeah this helps take the pedal lag out, so in turn the turbo spools quicker in relation to you hitting the gas pedal. Definitely sharpens things up!
@@BrosFOURRSpeed i jusy installed my pedal commander. no check engine no nothing 0 issue. i followed the instruction. all i got ... more agressive and best throttle response. worth and must have my opinion
Mine's all right but it keeps scratching my plow. I put it in my F-250 and every time the freaking power cuts out and my check engine light goes on the truck accelerates uncontrollably for a few seconds and if I don't slam it in neutral, I'll run into the car in front of me. It's all good though. I just keep my snow plow on all the time so I don't have to worry about it.
I put this on my 2020 s4 and had an issue where it kept going into limp mode. I guess this was taking too much voltage and messing things up. Another option for people having this same issue is to go with the banks throttle monster as it uses voltage from the ODB port instead.
I did mess with that already in OBDeleven. It really only sharpened it a small amount. I wasn't impressed. The PC helped big time! Now it actually is responsive and where I want it to be. Very impressed! Even my wife was super impressed when she drove it later
I have a 22 Raptor with a E50 tune. Would you recommend and how would you drive it to get a better 0-60, throttle all the way down or more roll into it when using the pedal commander? Have you see better 60 times?
Yes get it! I have a 2022 Ford Explorer ST with a 93 tune and the pedal commander addition made me feel like I tuned this beast again. After my tune I was getting 0 to 60 in 4.2 seconds and after I added the pedal commander I’m getting around 3.8 to even 3.7 seconds on 0 to 60 pulls. It’s just instant power. You’ll feel it right away. It’s definitely worth it.
@@Alwaysbeclosing1774 what setting are you pulling for the 0-60? I launched last night and I was a little bit quicker on the 3rd pull at 4.56 but heat soak was real by then. I was hoping for a .2-.3 difference. Now I’m not an expert at launching either so maybe someone better could get a better time
I've heard that that the pedal could go into limp mode but a representative told me the only reason this would happen is if you missed a step during install or you tried to change the device while driving, but I just ordered it so we'll see
@@alyxms5826 Yeah I just had a scary situation 2 weeks ago, I actually purchased one of the devices by a company called Shift Power & it was great at first & then I hit a bump & for some reason maybe it jolted the device or something but all I know is the car went into limp mode & thankfully it was early in the morning when there weren't a lot of cars around. I did manage to get it to a safe location & uninstall the device & it hasn't happened again since so needless to say I won't install one of these again
Hi. I've been on the fence about buying a Pedal Commander. I think the idea is great but have read articles and watched videos of numerous problems including check engine lights, limp mode, and stuck or wild acceleration. I have a 2017 Camaro SS which has been issue free. Worth the risk or pass?
We've installed the pedal commander on our Toyota Tacoma, two toyota Supras, Audi R8, GTR and S3. Not one has had any issues from it! We like it and would recommend it based on our experience.
So, a possible reason why a car could be slower is not necessarily it's own power or shifting but it's factory delayed throttle body. Perhaps if cars were reviewed with this device it could make a difference in acceleration times. Perhaps you will do this on your next reviewed vehicle.
@@amill1563 Yeah, but this doesnt increase acceleration. It just makes things happen quicker when you hit the gas. It sharpens the throttle response and makes the car more enjoyable and precise
I'm highly skeptical this changes the actual throttle response and simply just masks it. I feel like it more or less changes pedal sensitivity by over or under shooting what pedal input you are doing for a breif moment. If it really did change the throttle response there should be a difference between the 0-60 and 1/4 mile times when immediately mashing the gas to the floor and not lifting. One thing I would love to see is an overlaid graph of the difference in throttle pedal input and throttle body output during stock operation and while using this product. I'm sure you could probably simulate what the pedal commander does but it would be a very unatural driving experience trying to mash the gas to the floor then instantly pulling it back to 25%
There won’t be a significant difference in 0-60 times because it doesn’t add power. The car will still have the same power, but the quicker response is definitely significant. We have found it helpful in multiple vehicles. The “dead space” in every car pedal is what it helps eliminate.
Not at all! I had one on my last Supra which was tuned with ECUtek. Same with my GTR. Simply lets you control the pedal itself which is not part of the ECU. brosfourrspeed.com/parts-%26-merchandise/ols/products/nissan-370z-pedal-commander We carry the 370Z PC on our site!
No tune on our car. But we had the AWE switchpath and MST intake! We have them on our site! Intake should be compatible for the A3. Not sure about the exhaust tho www.brosfourrspeed.com
Just as a heads up the coupon code doesn't work anymore. it told me this discount had reached it usage limit. Really sad that I wasn't able to use it and had to pay more.
Interesting product. The web site says for my Mazda 6 I can get better mpg. Do you agree? And would that be only in a econo mode? If so, then does not that defeat the purpose of having this device? Thx.
Yeah in Eco mode it'll be very conservative on the throttle vs your input so it would help. I doubt it'd be much, but it would help a tad. Car feels slow tho in those modes. But good for beginner drivers tho or for gas milage
Hi, was wondering if you could help me understand something about these throttle controllers? I know many people want these for improved response and for their car to feel quicker, but I drive a manual car with a gas pedal that's way too sensitive and was wondering if this would be useful for the opposite effect. Basically, I add a bit of gas to move off and there is a significant delay before it responds, and then it revs too high (above 2000rpm). I feel like I have to press the gas pedal a very very small amount, and was curious whether a simple throttle controller might offer a more linear response that would be easier to control. Perhaps this is what the "eco" mode would do? I just don't want to have to put so much effort in to be smooth and avoid stalling my weak car. Other manual transmission cars I've driven have been so much less sensitive than my own. I should also add that I would prefer the car didn't have such a delay before responding to throttle input, but the thing I'm most curious about is making the throttle mapping more linear/less 'touchy.' Am I way off here or is a product like this something that might help?
This eliminates the lag from when you first hit the gas pedal to when the throttle body opens. So it makes the relation from your foot to the cars acceleration much more inner and responsive. This seems like it will help you out. Just play with the settings to dial in what works for you. I found the similar to stock setting, and then just went a few up from there to eliminate the lag.
@@BrosFOURRSpeed Thank you, that clears it up a lot. I think the delay means that, on hill starts, I roll back too far waiting for the throttle to respond if that makes sense (my car absolutely cannot hold with just the clutch alone). Must be so much easier to do hills without the handbrake with one of these. Cheers!
Oh nice! Definitely makes a good difference! Check out the link in our description to make an order. We also carry them on our website! www.brosfourrspeed.com
We've been through the PC debate before. ( People arguing saying it doesn't work) i believe it does work - but two questions: Does it burn more gas? And: Will it work on my daily a 2012 Scion xB? Good upgrade!
It makes a big difference removing the pedal lag and making the throttle body open with your gas pedal rather than having a delay. Physically opens quicker vs without it. It won't hurt MPG unless your always ripping on the car. But it will help the xB feel more responsive and peppy for sure! sdqk.me/59Z0ZUVh/eovbtq8d
My mate has this and ive driven his car before snf after.. definitely changed the throttle response revs up quicker and also engine sound changed. But this in sport anf race mode must be mskjng car run richer has his exhaust tips was black after this been fitted so not really safe i say
This just effect throttle response. It won't change any tuning to make the car run rich. If it's a turbo car tho and he simply floors it a lot, that in itself might make the tips get black
@BrosFOURRSpeed but if it effects throttle response and the ecu gets different signals then the fueling will be different so it will alter the fuel timing aswell
sdqk.me/59Z0ZUVh/eovbtq8d Pretty much! Each car will have a different unit that fits the plugs on their pedal. The S3 and R8 both use the PC09. Since they have the same plug. But you can browse their site and just search your car and the one with the correct plug will pop up. And then different cars will be ideal on different setting. S3 I like Sport +2 the best. On my old Supra I liked City +4 best. So you can fine tune it to be how you like
yeah make sure you don't switch it while on the throttle pedal. I've never had issues while driving. I'd just say make sure your foot is off the gas pedal when you make a change
If you're stupid sure buy a pedal commander. Had 2 both malfunctioned, one almost got me killed and the other left my wife and kids stranded on the side of the road. So sure you definitely need one.
