iDrive Throttle Controller for Mitsubishi Mirage

The little three-cylinder Mitsubishi isn't known for its stellar performance. The vehicle is built to be frugal and efficient. The throttle tuning is also engineered to deliver fuel economy, and not spirited driving. In fact, the car's throttle response is pretty poor. We got an EVS throttle controller from Drive USA to see if we could make the Mirage's throttle more responsive and if it'd help the overall performance of Mitsubishi's subcompact hatchback.

This is definitely worth it. Have one for my 2.4 Lancer. I used to like driving the Lancer, now I love driving it. Add a few breathing mods and it’ll turn into a different little beast. I usually set it to U3 - U4 for daily driving, U5 - U6 if I want a more spirited experience

Exactly what I wanted to see. Straight to the point with examples, clear shots and the test drive, all cleanly shot. Appreciate it! Thumbs up and subscribed.

[@crankshaftculture]

Great to hear and thanks!

[@shartbarf]

@@crankshaftculture I went ahead and purchased one because of this review. I just obtained a 2015 Mirage DE with less than 2600 miles on the Odometer and am very excited to get it. Thanks again.

[@crankshaftculture]

@@shartbarf Super! Hope you like it! I'm still digging mine a lot!

You prolly dont care but if you are stoned like me atm then you can watch pretty much all the latest movies on instaflixxer. Been streaming with my girlfriend for the last few weeks :)

[@marshallclay4978]

@Abel Gunnar definitely, have been using InstaFlixxer for since december myself :)

[@Area-cf1gt]

Just that little blip at the end was enough to tell me it works mint. Holy gee,

[@streamingvideo6654]

Awesome stuff, thanks! Cool Pajero in the background too.

[@adriangoede7433]

Very interesting. I’m trading in my 2019 on a 2022 & I was concerned that it might only be a CVT option but clearly, you’re shifting. I may have to try it out.

[@MrShawnamir]

Will it increase gas ⛽ consumption ?

[@jackcobbiii1797]

Oh look out Hellcats in town from lt to lt.;) our manual is pretty quick can’t wait to see this already have on my 5.0 Mustang and beyond amazed.

[@jackcobbiii1797]

You have a link?

[@archelfrancisco]

Hi, Crankshaft Culture I like your videos a lot and I am a subscriber because it helps me and others, if you don't mind can you give feedback regarding safety issues, My question is what if the throttle controller's device suddenly fails? or the little wire cut? Do we still have the control of gas pedal? or it will be back to normal mode? Thank you for hoping you can enlighten us. thank you again!

[@crankshaftculture]

Archel -- that sounds like a question for the manufacturer. I don't know the answer to that.

[@archelfrancisco]

@@crankshaftculture thank you

[@JD-cx2ni]

Hi do you know by any chance the port size of the socket?

[@sengsythao1896]

Planning to get a throttle pedal mod like this as well for my mirage. Though im thinking of getting sprint booster. You have any experience on that product?

[@crankshaftculture]

I only have experience with this one.

[@sengsythao1896]

@@crankshaftculture I just bought the idrive. Itll be my first buying a throttle mod for my car. Hopefully it do some justice pulling on the highway lol!

[@sengsythao1896]

Just got it yesterday, installed it and wow what a difference! At U9 I'm squealing the front tires now lol. Pulls nicely now at highways. Thanks for the review man! 😎👍

[@crankshaftculture]

@@sengsythao1896 Awesome to hear! Enjoy, just make sure to leave some rubber on the tires. 😊

[@ronaldderooij1774]

Never in my life, I have been concerned for one second about throttle response. The only thing i care about is that it is linear, I think.

[@jan311]

using ultra settings how many secs can u reach 100kml/h? the stock throttle settings reach 12 to 14 seconds to reach 100km/h

[@crankshaftculture]

No idea. But it certainly; it likely helped a little bit but I have no testing to prove it.

[@jan311]

@@crankshaftculture waitng for your next video for time trial :)

[@anton_c8gur]

but mirrage already have economy indicator in the dashboard. will that still work?

[@crankshaftculture]

Yes.

[@spence5436]

Would this work on the 2020 Hatchback LE? You've got me very interested

[@crankshaftculture]

Yes

[@makeIT_makeSENSE]

Will this fit on a 2005 lancer?

[@crankshaftculture]

I believe they do offer a Lancer application.

[@chekoboi1178]

How does it affect gas mileage?

[@crankshaftculture]

I didn't really play with the fuel economy aspect as I bought it for the performance aspect.

[@buildmorefarms1007]

How much $?

[@crankshaftculture]

Looks like $209 on iDrive USA's website.

[@nasernaser5665]

It is working with mirage 2018?

[@crankshaftculture]

Yes

[@nasernaser5665]

@@crankshaftculture how much it can saving the fuel ? One full gallon of my mirage drive 300 hundred kilo

[@crankshaftculture]

@@nasernaser5665 We didn't use it for fuel savings. We used it for better throttle response.

[@nasernaser5665]

So it's can't saving the fuel ? What is the best saver fuels Chip ?

[@crankshaftculture]

@@nasernaser5665 Yes, it can recalibrate the throttle for better economy. However, it also allows for better performance which is why we got it. We simply didn't use that aspect of the product.
