wait.. i'm a little confused... so does it or doesn't it give you more hp?

lol!

TREZ63

ZERO more HP. this is exactly what it does:

"SPRINTBOOSTER is a device that improves acceleration by continuously measuring and converting the digital signal provided by the electronic throttle potentiometer, and providing the ECM with a new and altered signal."

Midnight Koop

i was joking...

Whoops, sorry, didn't read the previous threads. Goodnight kids.

drexappeal

Sorry, but you didn't deserve a new thread for this.

Just to explain, it is much easier for the search function to work when there is centralized threads for certain products. Sprint booster is a topic that's been discussed.

You'll notice a "BIG" difference!

i emailed slkfans and no reply... anyone else have trouble contacting him?

i want my sprintbooster! haha

eunosracr

Join the club. Sent 10 emails and no reply.

Midnight Koop

so are there no other sources to purchase a sprint booster? (english websites not german or anything but)

kevblah

So, it's pretty clear that there is NO EXTRA HP!
But, judging from what I've read, the car should do a 0-60 in less time because it gets off the line faster.

RES

I don't know what the side by side of a stock test would revile, but i did the Kleeman kit and the Sprint Booster around the same time and I know there where some apes getting raped.

KIRA

floor the gas pedel all the time will to a sprint booster job??

Midnight Koop

i found a company that sells sprint booster for both manual and automatic!

http://www.cksperformance.com/merced...des.asp?SID=27

i just received an email reply this morning. once i get pricing information with shipping costs, i will let you know how it goes. the place is located somewhere in the UK i'm guessing.

too bad slkfans.com isn't answering emails... his loss!

Please check for it in the Group Buy forum.

i thought about that... and was considering not to get one because of it. but everyone who has one swears by it. and having to floor it in the first 2-3 gears still generates lag that this can get rid of. at least thats how i understand it

RES

YES!

C230 Sport Coup

Anyone running this on M111 with a pulley?
It seems to me that my throttle is fairly responsive.

I'd like to know what's in this thing.
If it's just a resistor..geez.
Can someone tell me how many pins are on the plug?
Is the potentiometer inside the gas pedal? Anyone capable enough to
test the resistance before and after the sprint booster?
As in pull the cable, measure resistance of your pedal.
Should be 2 wires or pins in the connector.
Connect Ohm meter, see initial resistance (ohms)
and then push pedal all the way down, and note the Ohms.

Then put in sprint booster, and measure resistance on back side of sprint booster and post results.
There may be 3 wires including a ground. Likely it's an open or low resistance circuit at idle, and higher resistance as the pedal is depressed, so that a bad or open circuit, wouldn't result in a full throttle condition.
And also likely is that a straight short would be seen as a fault.

My car doesn't have that lag that normal m271's have anymore. Can't wait to drive it tomorrow.

C230 Sport Coup

Hmmmm...I get a small amount of lag, but with pulley, I barely have to touch the gas to be tearing away from a light.
Still I 'raced' a BMW 530i last night, and from a standing start (both with Auto)
he was already gone by the time my throttle started to react.
From a moving start, at about 15 mph and me in 1st gear, we were pretty close, he pulled away just a little before I shut it down at about 50 in a 35, in
a town where the cops are notorious. Is it considered a crime if you 'race' the guy in the car next to you from a light to the speed limit?

drexappeal

I'm gonna see if the little lag that was there is gone by tomorrow (which I'm sure it is). Granted, I've got custom headers, Renntech pulley, bored throttle body, and some other new and exciting goodies, which I'm sure will be available to the public at some point.

It's just too bad that I'll be driving like a grandpa for a while. I was 2 days away from making the minimum 18 month period since my last traffic school, so I was only granted a 12 hour traffic school. The worst part is, from what I understand, the information of a speeding ticket stays on your record, but you just don't get a point. Problem with that is, I think my insurance will go up because of it.

Either way, I can't wait to hear and feel how my car is acting now. When all the bolt-ons were first put on and new parts w/ some "help", my car had already relinquished a lot of the lag.

Not saying that the Sprint booster doesn't work, but I don't think I'll be needing it like a lot of stock cars do.

jinijazz

Yes it is.
Driving too fast under various conditions - negligence driving.

BTW, somebody please comment on drivability issue with Sprint Booster on heavy traffic. I saw one or two comments on this before, but still not very clear to me.

RES

I don't know about stick, but with auto just put in c and its ok. As far as not having any lag with all your mods? I have the header, pulley, K-box, fuel controll, and it still made a nice difference. More so then reseting the throttle.

drexappeal

I don't think I need a Sprint Booster anymore
