Throttle Delay Fix.

[SubieRumble]

Probably the one that bothers me most is the idle or slow to acceleration, once I'm hard on the gas it's a tiny bit harder to notice.

wait, the pedal dance will remove the delay?

I thought it was just an after effect of the stupid drive by wire.

Nope. Prepare to be amazed. It acts like a regular throttle. Been preaching this for a couple years.

OMG. This just blew my mind.

Other than the clutch (which you can't feel at all) the throttle lag has been the only? (that I can think of right now lol) complaint about this car. Holy cow.

Did you try it? It's subtle but very real.

Now, for the clutch, have you seen my one and only mod thread? I'm not really excited about the SS braided line but what the hell.

DIY - Swap clutch slave cylinder and hydraulic line for improved feel and control

Yeah, I've swapped the slave and removed the spring. Still very unhappy with the clutch feel. It works, but most other cars I've owned/driven you could really feel when the clutch starts to engage. I feel like this car kills that some how. I've learned to live with it haha.

Did you lower the engagement point as well? I hear that make a world of difference.
I have the Mtec clutch spring in order, gonna adjust when I do the install.

Have you removed the clutch helper spring from the pedal assembly. it makes a world of difference. There's a sticky somewhere with instructions. I think it took me all of 10 minutes.

Yeah, it's better but not wonderful. I understand that the clutch was specified for the torque limit of the transmission, which makes sense. I wonder if all other things being equal, just installing a stronger pressure plate would do the trick. Not anything radical, just one with a bit more spring constant.

Anyhow, to OP, apologies for the thread jack. This is about throttle response.

I have a K&N filter, Gruppe-s UEL header and the Openflash Tablet with OTS stage 2. Is there anything I could do to eliminate or lessen throttle delay?

Thanks.

If you haven't done the clutch mods start with that. I know it sounds stupid, but even with a tune the gas pedal drove me nuts. I didn't notice it nearly as much when I took out the spring in the clutch pedal. I still haven't done the slave cylinder mod though, I actually like the clutch like this.

Are you running a tune or stock?

Delicious Tunings latest (to me, I haven't seen my car in a few months) tune seemed to fix the garbage low load throttle response. I'll take the occasional bucking of an undamped throttle over the stock feel any day.

I'm bone stock. Been threatening to start tinkering for a long time. I'm leaning toward first learning how to swap ECUs so I know I can quickly get back to stock if I brick my beater one. I'm chicken.
