2007+ Altima 2.5 Blitz Throttle Controller

Has anyone else seen this? anyone think its a good idea?http://hpautoworks.com/index.p...=4325

Pre-cvt... idk

[Hussain]

one of my friends was just telling me about this the other day. he was saying blitz made these for certain cars and that if they made one for the altima coupe it could get rid of the 90 MPH let off and allow full throttle when ever you wanted

[djnastie]

i just hopes this solves the lag that i experience when i pin the throttle. it takes a while to get up to 60. i hope this solves the problem.

How safe is this for a daily driver?

[Hussain]

my friend claims its good and it wont cause anything to mess up but then again, he hasn't completed his mechanic training yet. but its out for many other cars and blitz its a pretty well known company, i doubt they would make it for our car if it would mess it up.... and it would be fine for a daily driver from what i've heard and read from that link..... i haven't really looked into it too much cuz ive been busy lately (plus its for the 2.5 and i have a 3.5)

[D-Roll]

Hmmm interesting

[dldjros69]

id like the extra throttle response at the push of a button.

[djnastie]

i think im gonna try it out and write a 3 page paper on how badass it really is. yay or nay?

[Colton92]

do it!!! And make sure to report back to NICO HQ

[Colton92]

From what I read on the honda fit forum all you have to is unplug a thing that is under the dash and plug this in. It is close to the OBD-II Slot

[Hussain]

go for it! is your coupe a CVT or stick? if its CVT, this should really improve top end..... i read somewhere a while back that past 90 MPH we only have 80% throttle, this will allow 100% throttle

[djnastie]

i have the CVT. i really hope this improves the low end. im not so concerned about the top end. but still any improvement will be good. im also thinking about getting the unorthadox racing cam pulley with the controller.

[dldjros69]

thinking about getting the unorthadox racing cam pulley with the controller.

I havent heard anything good about these underdrive pulleys. They are bad for a daily driver car.

yay or nay?

Yay do it. Id consider this part, especially after a good write up.

[LongBeachCoupe]

if it works without issues, its a yay.. if not... well you know the rest!

[djnastie]

Ok so its on backorder and now im waiting! i cant wait!

Nice. My fingers are crossed that it works out really well!

[headhunt3r]

Ok so i ordered the Blitz Throttle Controller And now im waiting! i cant wait!

Hoping for nothing but good news! Maybe it'll make it on the to-get list

Hmm, theres nothing wrong with your throttle or car. Maybe it takes a while to get up to 60 because your car is slow with the 2.5 in it, cvt sucks, and auto doesn't help at all. My $.02.

way to make an *** out of yourself with your 1st post . and just for the record technosquare was messing with the ECU on the 3.5se and the wire by throttle and noticed that the car doesn't allow full throttle (at 90MPH it's only allowing 80% throttle) so there IS something wrong with it and your just stupid and don't know wtf your talking about....... so do the world a favor and actually research before you get on your computer and start insulting people and saying they are wrong......... just my $.02

Do you have a estimated arival date?

Why don't you take some of your own medicine... The ECU is doing what it's programmed to do by limiting throttle. How is there something wrong with it when its doing what it was originally intended to do? And how does throttle limitations at 90+ high speeds have anything to do with being slow at 0-60? He is right saying the 4cylinder isn't making optimal power at the low end. The CVT's goal is to keep you at low RPMs for efficiency, not power.

[LongBeachCoupe]

Calm down fellas.. i have a feeling it wont work at all.

[Hussain]

that's exactly what IS wrong with the stock throttle controller tune, it doesn't allow full throttle. maybe if you could actually READ you might have known that the link the OP posted shows the blitz throttle controller and it says how it DOES help you off the line and i was also adding that it DOES help you significantly in the high end speeds as well. so it does both, helps you off the line and also helps you in the top end......... CVT is meant to keep the RPMs down? rigggggggght, is that why the RPMs sit at pretty much redline when i'm at the track? go look up CVT, it will tell you that it gives you improved fuel economy AND PERFORMANCE compared to conventional automatics. they keep the RPMs down when you go lightly on the gas, if you stomp the gas all the way theres a little clicker thing at the bottom of the gas pedal (forgot the exact name) when you hit that the car realizes that you're not trying to conserve gas and the RPMs shoot up......... so just like i told the other guy, READ before you get on your computer and start talking ****.......

[Thannatos]

oh man i read this and i;m like a giddy schoolgirl I hope it works, good luck tonyI give you props on having the balls to actually try this

[mrodrig2]

The CVT/computer is trying to keep the engine speed at peak efficiency while still maintaining your desired acceleration and travel speed. It is not necessarily trying to keep RPM up or down, just efficient according to the maps on the computer. In your case, of course your RPM is at redline, you are at the track with the pedal all the way down all the time.

Your argument about your 3.5 is a completely different case than what this product is targeted for which is the 2.5. You don't buy a large displacement engine if you are worried about wasting gas at WOT. People getting the 4 cylinder rather than the 6 cylinder are typically doing this out of consideration for gas mileage. So my argument is...

Why are people buying the 2.5 CVT, which is purposefully for economical driving, but then complaining that its not fast when they are stomping on the pedal? If you wanted to be able to control the throttle better you should have gotten the 3.5 6MT ,which is intended to have more power and shift point control. If you save the $400 that this controller costs, that's a third of the way towards the price difference of my 2.5 and a 3.5 6MT.

If this product was marketed for the 3.5 I'd say its a perfectly logical product. Someone bought the 3.5 because of its power so why shouldn't they have access to all of it. However, it is marketed for the 2.5, so I stand by saying that there's nothing wrong with the 2.5 limiting the throttle because that's what the car is for.

[Thannatos]

some of us like the gas mileage most of the time but we also like to enjoy our cars, that is why this controller is great you are one button away from better performance or economy, and lets face it the 2.5 is pretty quick for a 4-banger, hell it in crappy american V6 territory power-wise.

[mrodrig2]

I understand that, I like to enjoy my car as well but I feel no need to circumvent its computer system in order to enjoy it. At this point I think we can all just agree that we disagree and just leave it at that.

sorry i came at you so hard and called you names....... i do agree with you about people trying to make the 2.5 quicker to a certain extent. some people are thinking about putting Turbo in the 2.5 and i totally disagree because i feel that for that price they should just buy a 3.5se. however, this throttle controller is not giving you any power, it's just allowing you to use what power you do have to its full potential and there are different modes. you can set it to get good MPG or you can set it to waste gas and use all the power it does have. but ya, sorry about the rude comments
