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:

For me is highly recommended!!

That looks pretty cool, price is a bit steep but I'd love to try it and see how greatly it changes the car because I do notice a bit of "lag" in throttle response.

Believe me, u will be surprise from the difference!!

[JaCe]

I'd love to find out more but none of the links seem to lead any "about this product" style pages!

[billy boy]

sounds like an interesting product! even though my ride is tuned to minimise the delay, there still is a fair bit of improvement to be made.

i'll be in greece in a couple of weeks - might check out your shop

[draevon]

Just checking in ... has anyone else installed a Sprint Booster module yet? I'm considering

On second thoughts, a Tactrix cable is probably money better spent now that we have definition maps including DBW tables.

[billy boy]

Still something on the 'to buy list' but even though ecutek has minimsed the lag, it could still be better

[ofey]

Considering that def files are now available with throttle maps for all CJs. Why would you want to buy this? Save money for a tune and get the tuner to tweak your throttle map?

[Nuliaj]

If this is the same sprint booster as I've seen on other car sites, then it's pure and utter snake oil. Essentially what happens is it remaps your throttle positioning map so that for example 25% throttle no longer gives 25% but 40%, which you feel as improved acceleration and response.

Correct me if I'm wrong...

[draevon]

On pretty much every forum I've seen, there's a whole bunch of people who haven't tried it bagging it out, and a whole bunch of people who own it and love it. As Ofey says though, now we're on the verge of being able to do our own tunes, modifying DBW maps is probably a better (and better value) way to go.

[Nuliaj]

Oh I'm not denying there's not a change in feeling - there definately is. Taken from the sprint booster website:

How does the Sprint Booster Work?

Sprint Booster is engineered to enhance the driving experience by providing increased acceleration time (eliminating delay) on drive-by-wire cars by continuously measuring and converting the digital signal and providing the ECM (Electronic Control Module) with a new and altered signal for much quicker response. Sprint Booster improves response, increases pedal input sensitivity and delivers more impressive off the line performance you can really feel.

As you can see all it's doing is increasing the sensitivity of the pedal. Press on the accelerator harder and you can achieve the feeling for free.

[draevon]

As I understand it it's not just a simple signal amplifier but also takes into account rate of accelerator depression and other bits and pieces like that. Either way, was mainly looking for feedback from people who've tried it, not input from people who haven't.
