Please note: This is NOT suitable for August 2020 onwards Mazda BT50 (4 cylinder 4JJ3 series engine). Please visit our EVC171 listing for your 08/2020 onwards 3L BT50 (4 cyl engine): https://www.autoone.com.au/evc171l-evc-throttle-controller

Rather than a traditional accelerator cable, many modern vehicles use 'fly by wire' throttle technology. This system relies on a sensor that measures the pedal pressure and position and sends a signal to the vehicle's engine computer which converts to acceleration. Many of these fly by wire systems have a noticeable delay. EVC allows you to tune the signal from the accelerator pedal with multiple inbuilt settings to ensure you find a setting that suits your driving style, although there are other products on the market that can offer this performance. EVC includes an automatic control function that changes the level of throttle performance based on pedal pressure. So if you are in traffic and accelerating gently the EVC will select setting 1. If you are accelerating hard to overtake, towing a heavy trailer, or just having fun the EVC will select 9. The result is the smoothest aftermarket control module on the market. We are so confident you will love your EVC if you don't we will give you your money back.

The EVC throttle controller reduces throttle lag and improves the response from the vehicle’s fly-by-wire accelerator to wake it up and make the acceleration feel more responsive. The Modes EVC’s are equipped with a very intuitive display and settings menu for easy use, there are 4 modes that offer different settings for different driving styles and conditions. Normal Mode - Normal mode is simply a replication of the factory settings, essentially the EVC is switched off. Economy Mode (E) -Economy mode has 9 settings that reduce the response from the pedal - The higher you go the more dampened your throttle response becomes, by dampening the throttle we can see increases in fuel economy as well as far greater control of your vehicles traction in off-road situations. Ultimate Performance Mode Ultimate performance mode has 9 setting and can be grouped into three stages: Ultimate mode 1-3: Everyday driving with smooth acceleration - Ultimate mode 4-6: Sportier, more responsive acceleration, great for use around town where short bursts of acceleration are needed Ultimate mode 7-9: Strap yourself in and activate launch control, instant throttle response, beast mode, don’t say we didn’t warn you.

Transmission Settings The EVC works equally well on both automatic and manual transmissions. There is an internal setting that changes the voltage pattern to suit. There is a slightly softer setting to compensate for the direct drive nature of the manual transmission. The manual transmission setting can also be used for vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions if the driver feels that the response is too sensitive. Changing Settings Drivers can change through the EVC modes at any time, however we don’t recommend changing the settings while the accelerator is depressed, preferably while stopped at a traffic light or in traffic.

Towing Eco mode can help to delay the throttle response so the driver can concentrate on the slight corrections of the steering wheel when reversing the trailer and reduce over correction. Also, the higher ultimate modes are great for getting the vehicle moving with extra weight, particularly handy towing uphill’s of from a standing start. Sand When bogged in soft sand you need a far slower wheel speed to be able to drive out, Eco Mode with its dampened throttle response can often unstick a vehicle without the need for recovery gear. 4wding Higher Eco settings are perfect for 4wding, especially across bouncy terrain, the dampened throttle response prevents jerky acceleration from the bouncing foot of the driver. Mud Higher Ultimate performance setting can help with quick bursts of acceleration to get out of muddy holes as well as flick clogged mud from the tyres, improving grip.
