Installing the Pedal Commander on My Manual Toyota GR86 For Better Response!

[@yvesrogiers8980]

What I've found in the GR86 is that the throttle input does not match the power the car gives you. For example you can put your foot down 25% of the way but the car gives you like 75% of the power. The rest of the pedal travel does bassically nothing. This makes this car difficult to drive slow in my opinion. I'd like a more liniar throttle. Do you think this pedal commander fixes this issue?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I could see that! It is an interesting car to drive at slow speeds. If anything, using a lower setting could help, like (city and a negative setting)! That would help reduce that feeling with the pedal. I'll have to try that and see!

[@throker]

Really glad that I put one on my GR86. It makes it much more drivable in everyday situations.. With the stock throttle mapping it was way too easy to bunny hop it down the street. Much easier to be smooth with the clutch now. Though it does irk me to spend 350 on a tool that only does one thing.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I really liked the upgrade on the 86!

[@allstuff-footballandgaming18]

Amazing vid as usual ❤🙌

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thank you 🙌

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

Excellent video dude.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thanks!

[@amill1563]

By the same token could you shorten the clutch pedal travel thereby making it a "short clutch"?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I’ve never heard anyone doing that. That wouldn’t help throttle response though.

[@ez8308]

You can do this by changing out your clutch

[@PedalCommander]

Absolutely love to see it, so well said/explained! 🙌

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Great part for the 86 for sure! Makes the car come alive!

[@PedalCommander]

Already such a fun car, the little extra help off the line must feel so nice on top of what the 86 has already got going on haha 👊 @@BrosFOURRSpeed

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Really wakes up the car for sure!@@PedalCommander

[@quocanhphanho8969]

With the pedal commander, does it eliminate the lag at initial tip in of the throttle? I do a lot of city driving, so that part is important to me for buying this

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It does! I’ve had it on city +2 and still getting used to it lol!

[@nn99nn99]

I use mine on City -3 as a daily and it's perfect. Kills the initial dead zone on the gas pedal.

[@Thebuscommunityleader]

Helpful!!! Thank you.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Glad it was helpful!

[@theunknowncell442]

So I gotta ask, as someone who rev matches regularly; does it increase pedal sensitivity so im not "stabbing" the pedal? Id rather go back to just "blipping" the throttle and was wondering if this wpuld help.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yes! Makes it much easier to dial in how sensitive you like the throttle pedal

[@amill1563]

A lot of "tubers" put oil coolers on these.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I’ll be next 😆

[@simonsharestan317]

What are your thoughts on the pedalmonster

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Never used it or heard of it till now. I’m sure it’s similar, but don’t know anyone who has used that.

I like your R8. Is that a v10

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It’s the V8!! We have an R8 playlist if you want to see videos on it!

[@frankiemma3278]

If your car already has a touring and sport mode will that affect how the petal commander adjusts?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It will! My brothers Supra has two modes and it definitely helps!

[@frankiemma3278]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed so the petal commander will be more sensitive when I switch my car into sport mode vs touring?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@frankiemma3278 It’ll be more sensitive even in touring. The modes of the car don’t effect how it works! The vehicle sport modes help but don’t do anything for that slight delay. We can help order one for you!!

[@frankiemma3278]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed oh ok gotcha thanks for the info. I got mine a few weeks ago just didn’t install it yet can’t wait to try it out!

[@michaelguerra4187]

Do I need to tune up my car before I use this?🤔

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Nope, a tune is not required for any vehicle to install this!

[@ez8308]

Curious if this is actually needed on the 24 GR86.. I had a 16 BRZ and had a PC for it - it 100% needed it, and it made a huge difference. I just traded it in for a 24 GR86 and I feel like it doesn't need it at all, except maybe a split second from a dead stop. They're fairly cheap so I'm probably going to get another one. I wish they were backwards compatible.. if anyone is looking for a PC for a gen 1 I am selling mine

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I really liked it on my GR86

[@ez8308]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed Thanks. The company got back to me, and it does work for the 86 so I'm going to install it tonight and see how much of a difference it is

[@tone3560]

waste of money....acclimate your foot tuning

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Really? You can adjust the “dead space” with your foot? Curious how to can modulate that since it’s impossible to do with your foot. This actually works, try it first.

[@tone3560]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed You can...its called proactively compensating with increased pedal pressure to negate the dead space. This acquisition of this product is the epitome of 1st world problems that I wouldn't even consider remotely an annoyance in my opinion more like a trait. Some how people are gullible and annoyed enough to buy it so what do I know. The people that buy these are the same people that btchd about clutch engagement being finicky and changed out the clutch spring. Im sure the product works but its a waste of money in my opinion to serve those that feel the need to mod everything to their liking regardless of the dollar per happiness ratio.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@tone3560 I highly disagree with that. Sure you can give the vehicle more gas, but that doesn’t make up for the delay in acceleration. I mentioned all of that in the video. Certain situations where at slower speeds, you need better response without more gas input. It works, no one is gullible in buying it when it actually does something.

[@tone3560]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed I can see where your coming from but the price vs "this issue" to me isn't worth the purchase. If this product never existed nobody would complain about "the issue" to even fathom creating or wanting this device so essentially a product was created to combat a non-issue for business predicated on busting out a magnifying glass and over-exaggerating a micro sized trait of throttle input for revenue. Take the money and hit up the track. (dont tell me what to do with my money) Yup the same ole rhetoric. Thanks for responding.

[@nicklauher9323]

I appreciate this discussion. I'm old school and just stab the accelerator, drop my foot like a brick or feather depending on the situation. Would I like a $300 foot signal booster / dimmer? Eh?

You keep reviewing the same cars over and over.
