VE SV6 throttle lag

[Dayvo]

My ve (v8) has the same fly by wire throttle body setup I clean my throttle body by pushing the butterfly open with my fingers and has never caused any problems although the best way is to take it right off the car especially if it’s really dirty

I have pushed the butterfly open on mine to clean it with no adverse affect and mine is an sv6 .

I cleaned the throttle body today, but found it quite quick and easy to unplug the harness, undo the four bolts and remove it fully. Complete clean in 15 minutes.

How old is your air filter? If that’s old and clogged up ur car will be gutless and laggy also

Air cleaner looks ok, going to change plugs and filters anyway with next service this week.
I haven't had the VE very long and not sure how it has been serviced even though the services have been dated in the logbook.

I have had 3 VE's now. And all of them have a slight second lag from when you press down on the pedal to when you actually move.
I installed a Revhigh Throttle controller to my first stock SV6 and no bullshit, you definitely feel a difference. Highest level spun the wheels so easy.
In-fact i actually started to love my sv6 alot more after installing it. It makes the car feel how it should have felt from factory.

When I upgraded to the r8 next, as much as I wanted to, I didnt have the balls to install it because it had already been heavily modified / tuned.

Thanks for the feedback Xplaya,
Yeah I looked into the RevHigh throttle controllers and saw the reviews on YouTube, easy to install and they do improve acceleration

Hi mate i suggest you look for instructions online.

But the chip is plug n play above the accelerator pedal.

How dd u find the controller?
