Revive Your KUN26 Workhorse.
The Ultimate9 EVC Throttle Controller (formerly iDrive) is the essential performance upgrade for the Toyota Hilux N70 (2005–2015). This generation, powered by the legendary 3.0L D4D Turbo Diesel, is the backbone of the Aussie tradie and 4WD scene. However, the factory throttle map is notoriously lazy, creating a delay between your foot and the engine. The EVC eliminates this lag, making your Hilux feel punchy, responsive, and years newer.
Wake Up the 3.0L D4D
Whether you have a stock Workmate or a fully kitted-out SR5 on 33s, the electronic throttle delay limits the 1KD engine's performance. The Ultimate9 EVC sharpens the signal, giving you immediate access to torque. It transforms the drive, making overtaking safer and merging onto highways effortless.
Towing & Off-Road Control
The N70 is a popular tow rig for caravans and boats. By using **Ultimate Mode**, you can compensate for the extra weight and get moving with less pedal mash. Conversely, **Eco Mode** provides a reduced response, ideal for crawling over rocks or driving on soft sand, where wheel spin needs to be managed.
Plug & Play Installation
Modernise your Hilux in minutes. The EVC connects directly to the factory accelerator pedal plug. It is a simple DIY install that requires no cutting, soldering, or mechanical knowledge. It creates no fault codes and is fully reversible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the EVC Throttle Controller compatible with my 7th Gen N70 Hilux?
Yes, this model is specifically engineered for the Toyota Hilux N70 (7th Generation) produced between 2004 and 2015. It utilizes a vehicle-specific, plug-and-play harness that integrates perfectly with your Hilux's electronic throttle system.
How does the EVC change the driving feel of the Hilux?
The N70 Hilux often suffers from a noticeable delay in pedal response. The EVC eliminates this "lag" by sharpening the signal between your foot and the engine. This makes the vehicle feel significantly more responsive and connected, which is a massive help when towing or needing quick power to overtake.
Can I use the Economy mode for off-roading?
Absolutely. The Economy mode is a favorite for many N70 owners when off-roading. By softening the throttle sensitivity, it prevents sudden, jerky power delivery over rough, uneven terrain, allowing for much smoother control when you need to crawl over obstacles.
Is installation a difficult process?
Installation is quick and non-invasive. Since it is a plug-and-play system, you simply disconnect the factory plug at your accelerator pedal, connect the EVC harness in between, and mount the small display screen where you can easily reach it. No cutting or complex wiring is required.
Does the EVC alter my Hilux's ECU settings?
No. The EVC operates as an interceptor on your pedal signal wire. It does not modify your ECU's fuel maps, boost pressures, or timing. It is a safe, simple way to improve your driving experience without affecting the long-term reliability or engine safety of your Hilux.
