Good find Dominick! Any idea on how this is different from a throttle controller like the one Blitz makes for the X? Is this basically the same thing, but a more simple plug and play version without the ability to change the settings like you can with the Blitz tc?
honestly idk yet...i subscribe to evosoul's blog and this was on there...he says he has had it installed and will provide a review soon
One thing to keep in mind was that this was for "high performance engines" meaning there's a higher potential for gain than our N/A Engines. The guy who reviewed it had a boosted Z. So anyone who tries this has to remember they won't be feeling no 10hp or anything like that.
Sounds like a big hoax to me, something similar to the famous turbonator or so....
It looks a little more promising than that, don't you think? We do have electronically controlled throttles, so why is it hard to believe that this will do what it says? They only promise improved throttle response, nothing else. It's not like they are advertising gains of up to 55hp like the Turbonator. haha
i have reason to believe its real...moreso because pas did an article on it...im inclined to think they wouldnt bs people into buying junk.
For Automatics or Manuals??
But the test was on nissan 350Z turbo charged, don't you think it's a bit different from the lancer? Plus they say it won't change the time from 0-60m and no HP gain, so I wonder what it does, for just a little feeling of improvement that basically is vague I don't feel the price is justified.... Try sarting off with your right foot on the gaz pedal and your left foot on the brakes, it'll probably feel the same and for free
costs more than a nice intake
hey guys, i tryed this sprint booster in my car, i have 5spd and i think it is worth the money, it feels like you have a throttle cable attatched to the gas pedal, very quick throttle response when you push down on the gas pedal, instant climb in rpms, it worked really well with the rrm timing module too
How about this.... I'll sell you guys a brick that you strap to the bottom of your right foot for a couple hundred bucks. You won't have to push the pedal as far and it will "feel" faster. If you are interested just let me know. You guys have got be shitting me that you would spend your money on something like this
Don't have to be so harsh on the sprintbooster. The sprintbooster was a must have for my last vehicle, since it was drive-by-wire and would 'adapt' to your driving habits (annoying). The sprintbooster made the car much more fun to drive.It's a great product, but it just doesn't have much of a use for a lancer.
Hey guys i figured i would birng this thread back up because i was curious about the product. although it was hated on by many of you it still got good reviews by evosoul and others. i might be interested in this, im not quite sure yet because i wanna read up on it a little bit more, but since its for throttle response that means it should be okay to work with the piggyback and timing module right? thats all i want to know before i waste my time reading about it and possibly buying it haha thanks in advance for the help guys
Yes it should work with the piggy and timing module. The sprint booster adds no performance at all. It just makes the accelerator pedal more responsive. Meaning you need to press it less for the car to respond. If you mash your pedal all the way to the floor it does nothing differently, the car will respond exactly the same.
alright cool. thanks for the quick response dude!
Haha that is what happens when I'm at work. I have this forum and a couple other things open all the time while doing my work.
Yeah im at work right now too lmao you wouldnt happen to have this sprintbooster installed in your car would you?
One other thing that bugs me about this product, it messes with the drive by wire signal , Hmmm this sounds fimiliar to a car line having a major issue , not taking a chance myself.
Toyota issues are with breakdown of the physical pedal, not the drive by wire system.
thats not what steve jobs said.....damnit i cant find the linkkk mod fail
Haha, Steve Jobs?? I don't know what he has to do with Toyota..But there's actually a thread in Off Topic that I just read which makes it seem like much more of an electronic then mechanical issue.
steve jobs has a prius and took the computer out and fixed it himself.....lol F I CANT FIND IT THO I SWEAR I SAW THIS
Hi, guys!Today i was install the SPRINT BOOSTER on my lancer 1.8 and i was surprised ...!!! I though that i had a ...new car!! Excellent difference!! This is a Greek product with winning awards:"The brand new version of SPRINT BOOSTER wins the SEMA BEST NEW PERFORMANCE STREET - PRODUCT 2010 award at SEMA SHOW LAS VEGAS among more than 1400 new products that entered for SEMA awards this year""After the SEMA BEST NEW PERFORMANCE STREET - PRODUCT 2010 award , SPRINT BOOSTER wins two more important awards at SEMA , the GLOBAL MEDIA AWARDS.The GLOBAL MEDIA AWARDS consists of a group of international journalists serving as judges.This year, the program included 28 judges from 16 key automotive markets.Each judge reviewed and evaluated the New Products at SEMA Show before selecting those which they felt would resonate and appeal most to consumers in their home countries.BOULEKOS DYNAMIC was honored to receive 2 SEMA Global Media Awards for the new SELECTABLE PROGRAMMING version of SPRINT BOOSTER."http://www.boulekosdynamic.com/eng/news_view.asp?id=17http://www.boulekosdynamic.com/eng/news_view.asp?id=16And here are dealers lists:http://www.sprintbooster.gr/index2.asphttp://www.sprintboosterusa.com/http://www.sprintboosterusa.com/t-media.aspxFor me is highly recommended!!
Hate to burst your bubble but , this has been available since 2008 in USA
Thats all well and good, but a flash from RPW or Works will alter the DBW signal values and improve throttle response. They are the same price or cheaper than a Sprint Booster, and the flashes do way more than alter the DBW signal, as you probably already know. This booster was/is great for cars where you cant modify the DBW signal in other ways. Otherwise, I just dont see the point of it anymore....
Yeah I agree. A flash is much more worth it, but do you have to send the ecu in for the rpw flash? and is the rpw flash better than the works flash?
RPW: no, you do not need to send ecu, just a copy of your ROM. However, they are still working on perfecting the 2010 USDM 2.4L flash, so it may not be an option for you yet.... I will keep you updated, since I am the guinea pig for it. RPW flash gains on the USDM 2.4L are not clear yet, I will be dyno'ing it, so I will let everyone know. Minimum 10+hpWorks: Normally, yes you have to send your ecu. However, they may also take a copy of your ROM and modify that. You should talk to them. Works tune gives approx 18+ hp.If you have questions on pulling your ROM, do some searches for tactrix, rpw flash, etc..
Nice post!Wish that someone can remap my 4B10 ECU. (1.8L), need more HP Shoot out if you know how I can remap my ECU.
