Isuzu Power Plus Throttle Control: Power+

How is the Power+ different other Throttle Controllers on the market? 

Power+ is one of the latest Throttle Controllers to hit the market which means that we've been able to test those models that have been around for years and improve on those, in addition use the latest technologies in software and components. The processor on the Power+ is double the processing power than most of our rivals. The processor power coupled with our state-of-the-art software engineering and 36 driver settings make Auto Mode on the Power+ extremely comfortable, more responsive and incredibly useful in accessing power when you need it or engaging a more delayed response when required in order to reduce fuel consumption. In addition, the Power+ has 4 pre-defined driving modes, auto light dimming and a clever overtake function which lets you press a button to spring into the most responsive setting when you need the extra grunt.

How difficult is Power+ to install?

On most vehicles the Power+ can be installed in less than 5 minutes without any tools or special skills. All kits include printed instructions to help get the job done. On some rare occasions, we have had some customers experience difficulty with having the plug click in which has been caused by glue that needed to be removed on the vehicle plug.

Is the Power + compatible with petrol engines? 

The Power+ is perfect to be used on both naturally aspirated and forced induction diesel and petrol engines.

How does the Power + operate?

The Power+ Throttle Response Controller works on most fly by wire pedal assemblies by modifying the voltage signal level from the pedal to your vehicles Engine Control Unit (ECU).  In more ways than other controllers on the market do, the Power+ will allow you to finely tune the response from your accelerator pedal to greatly reduce throttle lag (or increase which is perfect when off-road or trying to reduce fuel consumption).

How can I get my hands on a Power+? 

The Power+ can be bought either from a reseller or direct from our website www.powerplusafrica.com If you find your reseller is not selling Power+ ask them if they will as we have new dealers coming on board all the time. To purchase direct from our website simply select your model, add to cart, fill in the shipping details and process payment. Payment can be made via Bank Deposit, Visa and MasterCard.

Is it easy to change modes and toggle between the 36 settings on the Power+? 

The Power+ is among the easiest on the market to operate. Just push the mode button to switch between Auto AU mode, Eco/44, Comfort/Tow, Sport or Sport+  High Performance Modes. Finely tune these modes by adjusting the response from 1 to 9.

How is the Auto Mode on the Power + different to other models on the market?

Our controllers have adaptive software that studies your driving style and adjusts depending on the situation. Auto mode is a great way to set and forget as it will give you both power and economy when you need it. Due to the Power+ having a processor twice as fast as the competition and a large amount of tune settings (36 compared to 18 with the competition) it's one of the most preferred settings as it will apply gradual setting changes as you drive, not harsh setting selection which will drive as either spongy eco mode or flat stick high performance.

How can I utilize the Over take function? 

If no setting has been changed on the Power+ in the past 5 seconds, press on the MODE button to jump directly into Sport+ mode to facilitate overtaking or intense driving. To exit out of Sport+ mode just press the MODE continuously to select your preferred driving mode. Before testing this we strongly recommend you learn the position of the buttons so you may control the Sport+ mode without taking your eyes off the road.

Can i use the Power+ with an Aftermarket Cruise Control System? 

Short answer is yes. So far we have not been made aware of an aftermarket cruise control systems that will not work with our throttle response controller.

Can I use the Power+ if my car has had an ECU Tune or Reflash? 

As our product does not change throttle parameters it will not affect the operation or cause issues when used in conjunction with an ECU tune or reflash.

Can I use the Power+ if I've installed a Power Chip or aftermarket Exhaust?  

The Power+ will compliment aftermarket chips and exhausts and will not have an adverse affect as the Power+ and Powerchip/Exhaust utilise different internal systems.

Will the Power+ Throttle Controller void my new car warranty?

Your new car warranty may be affected by installing any aftermarket modification or non-genuine product and unfortunately new car warranties are often interpreted differently depending on what dealership you see or speak to. At Power+ we have extensively ran tests on new (and used) cars and found that when correctly installed it will not damage a vehicle in anyway. The Power+ also has a setting that can return your vehicle to it's factory setting in the unlikely event that it develops a fault; in this mode the Power+ will be switched off and won't affect the drivability of the car. Installation is quick and easy but if you have any concerns just unplug it and return it to us for a replacement or refund.

Will the Power+ ruin my engine or lead to increased wear and tear?

The Power+ only uses already available power which is reserved by the manufacturer. As Power+ will only activate when you need the power (e.g. when applying power, Power+ will not work when idling). Your car's machine-driven parts (e.g. the engine, clutch, transmission, brakes) are only pushed to the limits which are appropriate not beyond. The security functions and safety of the engine and the vehicle's ECU do not get changed at all or get turned off. It's out of the question for Power+ to push your vehicle beyond its factory limits.

Can I move the Power + between vehicles?

Potentially. Some vehicles will use the same plugs and operating systems, however many do not. If you want to make 100% sure simply send us an email of the current model and the one you are looking to change into, and we can advise you correctly.

Will the dealership know I installed a Power+ on my vehicle?

We recommend the Power+ is temporarily removed when you visit your dealership. If you remove it prior to a visit they will not know any upgrade has been installed or used.

We can understand you don't want to risk your maintenance warranty program on a new car, but that means now you don't have to wait years to customise your car and get the value of Power+ right away.

When a dealer completes a repair or maintenance schedule, the process they do is a scan the vehicle's ECU (e...
