Home - HIKEIT NZ

The HIKEit 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 HIKEit is double the processing power than most of our rivals.

On most vehicles the HIKEit 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.

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

The HIKEit only uses already available power which is reserved by the manufacturer. As HIKEit will only activate when you need the power (e.g. when applying power, HIKEit 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 HIKEit to push your vehicle beyond its factory limits.

The HIKEit Throttle Controllers has a dedicated Towing Mode and is the perfect companion when towing by helping your vehicle get up to speed from a standing start with less effort and therefore placing less strain on your engine and using less fuel.

It’s not possible for a throttle controller to directly damage the clutch. The clutch only works when the car starts to move and to shift gears, at which time the accelerator is not active.

The purpose of throttle controller is to amplify the signals being sent by your foot via the pedal to the throttle positioning sensor in the intake manifold.

In vehicles where the opening of the throttle is governed by a signal coming from the pedal instead of a cable opening the butterfly, the boost/throttle controller simply increases sensitivity which in turn improves the response. Also, as the clutch on the torque converter only works when the car speed is very low, a throttle controller will not have an affect because when the speed is very low the throttle controller is either not operating or having an extremely weak role.
