hey everyone, i just got my 4g69 "Red rocket" over a month ago and was looking at getting it an EVC throttle controller. Right now my car dosent have any mods other than a catback exhaust, nor am i planning to tune/upgrade anything else mechanically as of now.

I've done some digging myself and found one that Ultimate9 (the company that makes them as far as im aware) sells thats marketed twoards models between 2007 and 2017 (i think its model is evc303). I was wondering if any of you have tried going about this yourselves or know of anyone thats found one from an alternative brand.
Here's the one im referring to [https://www.ultimate9.co/au/our-ran...suit-mitsubishi-lancer-2007-2017-7th-gen.html]

As of right now im waiting on a response from Ultimate9 asking if theirs would still work on my vehicle so i figured i'd ask here while i wait. Any feedback is appreciated, cheers.
 
External throttle controllers work on CANBus communications.... no CAN, no communication.
I wonder why people buy this crap when there is a throttle controller built into the ROM?

plug n play + marketing

I’d also guess most people don’t understand how the controller operates, so a “tune” doesn’t even cross their mind.

Only advantage I can think of is the switchable maps. A lot to be said for just learning how to utilise your right foot better
 
Well said ;)
However.... there are situations like the example in the pic of a throttle map that does not allow for WOT to be achieved when foot is flat.
Around 4250 to 5500rpm the throttle actually closes a bit just to keep the smile off the owners face. The Mitsi theory being that the throttle opening must counteract the torque power band so that the owner is not tempted to buy another one (unless the owner can flash tune). See the drop down to ~80% throttle... half the reason why stock Lancer 4G69 is a snail.

Throttle maps need to have just enough slope trending towards higher rpm and higher demand to overcome increasing losses so the pedal does not feel unresponsive but neither does it have a tendency to want to creep up in speed indicating it has too much slope towards higher rpm / demand. Too much slope is bad for economy too because you tend to accelerate harder than what you intended too.
