Got a throttle controller for my Jimny: Modes & effects on drivability

The only thing that bothers me with the spirited performance is the body roll

BHPian arunedwin recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Hello everyone,

I recently purchased a Jimny Alpha manual and have covered 500 kms so far.

Ordered a throttle tuner from Australia, EVC, got it for 11K with 5K as import duty. Installation was simple plug and play.

It features four modes :

• AC- Most useful for all situations.
• Ultimate stage 1 to 9; 9 being the most responsive, the Jimny behaves like my Ecosport Ecoboost
• Eco mode 1 to 4, best for off roading and gets the best mileage in highway.
• Factory mode: stock tune.

Overall Im delighted at this product and makes the drive more enjoyable.

The only thing that bothers me with the spirited performance is the body roll which is difficult to manage with the stock suspension.Guess a stiffer suspension as in Bilstein will be really helpful. If any one has done similar upgrades kindly share. Mind you, Im talking about using the Jimny as a daily driver and the comparison is with the likes of the Ecosport and not for pure off roading.

The other day I got a pdf of the Jimny owners manual forwarded by the nexa advisor which is a nice keep for easy referral.

Happy motoring
