Throttle Controller & UpRev

[Mark@Abbey m/s]

throttle CEL is limp home.

Don't see any reason in using the d1 with uprev so... sell it and get some nice oil and stick into the car

it will throw a CEL then.

 

I am sure that you can fix that.

 

FIGHT !!!!!!

 

Just kidding, thanks for some great info from two of the most knowledgeable guy on here

 

I like the D1 it makes my Zed seem more alive and obviously responsive, I have never had a problem in the wet it just seemed the sensible thing to turn it off, I've been doing that for the 6 months or so since I had it, and with recent events on here I think it's even more relevant.

 

Thanks for the info on the UpRev Mark, I have no doubt the UpRev is much more beneficial and certainly more complex than just plugging in a couple of boxes to the loud pedal! I will be booking in with your guys in the new year when my 90k service is due so might treat the old girl!

 

Alex, you are a just crazy So I did remember right about you running both

 

At the end of the day the D1 is a good choice for someone with limited funds or too far away from Abbey to travel ( I am neither )

Just like to add that the D1 throttle controller doesn't just make a difference to the first 3 gears, it makes a difference in all gears.

 

If your running in sports mode it's opening the throttle quicker regardless of the gear.

 

I also have it on SP5 as I find SP7 too twitchy. And if I am sitting cruising at 70 or so on the motorway and I touch the throttle just a touch you feel the response immediately, if I put it into normal it's nowhere near the instant response.

 

I always drive mines in normal and only select sports mode when I want it.

 

I'm sure Bennet had both and said they work fine hand in hand.

I agree on it being twitchy, I tried mine in SP7 but I had trouble pulling away I either went or stalled

 

Yes it does work in all gears, the response in 4th or 5th is just as instant as the first 3, which I like because I'm not a traffic light dragster, just like a bit extra when overtaking etc.

 

Thinking about it more I had new clutch / flywheel done at abbey, then a couple of weeks later got plenum spacer & new exhaust fitted at abbey too, then got the D1 so maybe that's why I noticed the difference so much
