TimoL Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 I'm looking for a cruise control unit with an ECU control input. It would have to be a drive-by-cable model. I believe some WRX models (or just Imprezas) had CC since the throttle body has support for a second throttle cable. I want to use it as a cruise control and to increase the throttle opening for cyclic idle, thus requiring the ECU control input. I guess the actual cruise control could be done with the ECU as well? Do you folks know any cruise control systems that would work for this purpose? Edit: My car is 1999 WRX GC8 -Timo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 My recollection of the old cable cruise control like Subaru and Honda used in the 90s were they were vacuum controlled, so I don’t think it will be any good for anti lag as you will have no vacuum.

Good point. E-throttle could be a solution but I don't want more lag in throttle response Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Period Well, that's good to hear. I might go DBW after all.. I assume most of the OEM solutions have a deliberate lag added to them (something to do with emissions & economy)?
