GoPedal changes the signal curve, so the car does respond more quickly -- simply mashing the pedal harder doesn't give the same result.

Yes it changes pulses at a given throttle position, thereby altering the response curve. So at 20% throttle it actually feeds the ECU say a 40% signal. Its tricks the brain into thinking the car is more responsive and in a way it is.

Ten years ago I built a pulse interceptor for a Porsche 928 E diff that fooled the ECU into giving me 100% control of the LSD function, from fully open to fully locked

That was before things like Arduino made DIY electronics so easy. Now I could have full adjustment as well as custom curves and the potential for extra inputs like steering angle or even a G sensor.

Next week UFI's battery is being replaced with supercapacitors

100% throttle input still = 100% throttle output though.

All the GoPedal does is push the accelerator further for you. You can actually build one yourself for around $30 (vs ~$300), the tech is extraordinarily simple.

or just get it remapped

Or just put the pedal down further for freeeeeee

Ty for your help... Your suggestions have been a good starting point for me to go from... And yes Staffordmike there are a lot of "negative Nancy's" on this forum and it think I have found one in UFI lol

not really, just that things have now moved on and it's a bit of a money pit to modify a non turbo car when you can buy the Abarth which is a lot more tunable

It certainly seems to have generated some discussion!

That it has lol

But sadly you still believe that a pedal is going to give you something which it can't?

The thing here is that your throttle can only open to 100%. All this does is make your car think your foot is further down. It can't give you any more power

Ty for ur input but with all do respect... I bought this car to "tinker" with... And not turn into a track star... It is still a daily driver and am not looking for 300bhp Ty for your advice

you need to listen to reason though, there is no way this can give you any extra power.

Yes it can!

I never said that hop up was gonna give me more hp... Said it was for what it's designed to do... Increase throttle response .... Sigh nvm... I have had enough of this futile argument with you... |-(

Maxi you are doing it again! Will you ever get the message. You just put people off posting because you dominate discussions and are so negative. I'll say it again - Maxi, give it a break. You are spoiling it for others.

Ty for saying something

Do you mind not telling me what to do? Cheers

A remap would make a night and day difference though.

I'm a little worried if a professional mechanic's idea of 'tinkering' is fitting a plug and play magic box.

Do something unique. I've shaved 35kg from my car using Titanium and alluminium hardware, and judicious use of my lathe and mill (still have all the tirm incl rear seat). I also built my own lithium starting battery that's about the be replaced with even lighter supercapacitors.

The car's still under warranty so there's plenty more potential when that expires. Enkei RPF-1 wheels and a Pogea carbon hood will get me a total of 100kg saved once all is said and done. I'm actually going to get the hood painted body colour because that's the cool way of doing it.

Now if I really, really had no other use for it, I'd blow the $300 on a Sprint Booster (I think the original), but it adds weight so I'd only be slower.

But then, I'm just an amateur Negative Nancy, not a professional
