Ultimate9 launched the EVC iDrive and later the EVC and evcX throttle controllers to give each driver hands-on control of their performance and acceleration. By boosting the signal from the TCU to the ECU, throttle position can be enhanced or dulled down in a similar way to turning the volume up or down on an audio system. As Tettamanti had discovered, a dulled throttle response can be just as useful in mud, sand, ice or snow as an increased throttle response can be useful for heavy vehicles such as overland builds and campers – or just for drivers who hate throttle lag and want to improve performance.
So, are EVC and evcX throttle controllers a type of tuning box? No. If you check the power output of your vehicle at the wheels, it remains unchanged. In the top-flight “Ultimate” modes though, it can sure feel like the vehicle has more power! As throttle controllers only work on the throttle controller unit, they are fully compatible with other power upgrades such as remaps, chip tuning, performance exhausts and air filters. A huge range of vehicles is covered by over 200 different product variants, which suit manual and auto transmissions and just about every manufacturer engine version on offer.
As the company has continued to grow, appointing distributors in the USA, Dubai, the UK and elsewhere, their products have become recognised as the original and best throttle controllers in the world. From their headquarters in Boronia, Australia, their technical team is outstanding and they are always working on new innovations – from nudge bars to tracking systems and battery management.
