Why Drive by Wire throttle rules | fullBOOST

Ford Calibration Engineer Tyrone Smith talks about the benefits of why Drive by Wire throttle systems are superior to cable setups and how they can be used not only in the OE world but also the Motorsport sector.

This guy needs his own channel 👌

[@bradynk9502]

Such a nice bloke and super informative! I learnt way more about throttle bodies today than I ever thought I would

[@joelwalmsley7217]

I hope you have more footage of this guy. So knowable and not afraid to share it with us.

[@brucedressel8873]

Cable is a far superior technology ...

[@derekshapiro1]

While I can completely understand the value of drive by wire in a performance application, where the tuner has total control of adjustments to improve drivability, in the OE market it is being tuned by manufacturers to help bad drivers have smoother throttle input, while ruining the responsiveness for people who are accustomed to carefully modulating throttle inputs. I’ve never felt a drive by wire car that was as easy to modulate throttle in as I have most any cable-driven car. It ends up feeling numb and lifeless. Too bad this guy didn’t tune the throttle mapping on my Audi, because it feels absolutely awful compared to my 300ZX TT that is 20 years older.

I've got an idea let's just let the computer drive the car and only have passengers....

[@kunad3294]

At least the government won't hack and take control of my "drive by cable" vehicle

[@vasilisgreen]

The problem people have, me included, with drive by wire, is not the speed with which the valve can go from 0% to 100% open. It's the response and the precision of the throttle movement reflecting our right foot/right wrist. Nobody likes to press the gas pedal/twist the grip and get 0 response. The cables are as fast and as precise at opening and closing the throttle as you are at twisting that grip, the ride by wire lags. That lag is the problem. Can you get rid of that? Can you make a ride by wire be as instant and precise as the cable was?

Apparently 2 years ago I thought this was great; now I find myself mostly rolling my eyes... mostly.

Tyrone is awesome - so much knowledge but makes it relatively easy for the rest of us to understand. Love his approach based on OE knowledge.

[@paulriggs3437]

Nice job T-man !! The irony of getting more recognition and thanks from KZbin viewers than you do from your own supervisor or manager !! More videos please !

[@Drew_peaballs_128]

Awesome video! That guy knows his stuff!

[@blobcsgo7190]

One of the few videos that I understand about tuneing lol. This guy is a G

[@potaka79]

Love the Weird Science, need more of it pls. This channel continues to go from strength to strength 🤙🖖🤙

[@xxjer23xx91]

seems like such a nice guy ,learned a lot,do more videos with him

[@dangelamerkin6294]

Great content. I've been using DBW for years to control boost in my Turbo LS 6.0 with an 88mm with no wastegate. Changed from a gold blade to a much smaller throttle body from a V6, to get better authority. 14psi is around 50% throttle open.

[@lindsaydempsey5683]

Great information and advice, thanks for sharing. 'Range of Authority' I will remember that phrase - GOLD!

[@injecttuning]

Great work

[@SpeedFarmOfficial]

Awesome info! Useful info.. Thanks for sharing!!

[@manitoublack]

Need to have a pod cast with Tyrone Smith and Gale Banks talking shop. Awesome video!!
