LMS Throttle Enhancer

[2011TAURUSSEL]

I tried to find the original thread but no luck. I am apparently the path finder for this forum but anyone else who purchased...speak up.

What I can say is it works. I tried it four laps.....two at Minimum Sensitivity....and two at MAX. MIN is basically the OEM throttle setting. Like LMS states the enhancer doesn't necessarily get more Horsepower and Torque but the available HP seems to come smoother and possibly earlier in the throttle band. When I punch it you know. I don't want to say it works great but I think I saw my puppy trying to massage his neck after the runs......he told me he wants to get an attorney to sue for whiplash.....O.K....embellishing a bit but you get the idea. Alright one more..........

The Commander Naval Aviation Training wants me to take future carrier pilots on a run with my car.......They want to use the enhancer as a test run to simulate the Catapult shot prior to hitting the real aircraft.

Long story short it works but some little quirks that I want to discuss with LMS prior to posting here.

Now that is a tease, For some reason the original thread was removed, I do not know if LMS did it or one of the moderators but its been gone about a week. Anyway glad someone gave it a try. How hard was it to install and where did you mount the ****. If you get a chance some pictures would be nice. Thanks for being the test pilot.

The install itself was fairly easy. Finding a place to mount the module and adjustment cable not so much. If you PM me I can send you photos. I mounted the module in the upper left corner of the dash just forward of the fuse panel. Cable was tucked up most of the slack and the **** was mounted just inboard of the OBD2 connector. There is a piece if metal with a square opening. I used a few pieces of cardboard as spacers cut a small pilot hole for the adjustment **** shaft to fit through. Remove the **** set screw with a very small allen key. Place two pieces of Cardboard on the inside run shaft through place the other pieces of cardboard on the carpet side of the frame. Hold the shaft on the inside and replace the adjustment set screw.

TIP: Make sure the **** is set to full Counter Clockwise... The dot on the **** should be to the left (OBD2 Connector side). You can adjust sensitivity later but start with MIN. I am running mine on MAX but you can adjust as necessary.

The major problems I have with this setup and I have already contacted LMS are the following.

1. Module is a little big I understand wiring harness and circuit board along with protection so probably not going to be able to get much smaller.
2. Adjustment **** needs to be much wider think probably somewhere between quarter and a Gatorade bottle cap.
3. Lack of indexing marks. The dot on the **** is helpful but having a backing plate with indexing marks like LOW/MED/HIGH or something like that would be helpful. The piece of Cardboard closest against the **** I traced a 3/4 circle using a dime as a template. A simple MIN/MED/MAX tick mark helped out.

The pieces of cardboard I cut are probably not more than about 1/4 by 1/4 inch square possibly a little larger but that should be a good starting point.

The extra slack in the cable needs to be taken care of first using the space in between the under dash. plenty of areas to zip tie the excess cable but needs enough slack to allow fitting over to the frame metal mounting point. I will try to get some photos to PhotoBucket tomorrow.

I find this product very humerous! I spoke to Anthony at Livernois about buying a JMS PedalMax (what this is a copy of) and he told me not to buy one and that they make their tune so this isn't needed and that it was not advised to use something like this in conjunction with a tune.... NOW LMS is selling the product and all of a sudden its a great idea to run it with their tunes! What a freakin joke....

Interesting. Thank you for sharing this information. It is always nice to be an informed consumer!
