lmfao!

You've still failed to list me a benefit of this scam of a product Knight or anyone. This doesn't get rid of throttle lag in anyway. You are aware there is a bit of science behind how a motor works? Increasing the throttle percentage isn't increasing things such as the ECU engaging wide open throttle and injecting more fuel into the motor. If it decreased throttle lag the time from you hitting the has to the car moving would be decreased, all this does is push the pedal down more for you.

Lmao this is even worse than the electric supercharger off Ebay, and at least those are only like $60, not $300.

 

I don't know Knight, but from viewing his many posts, all I can see him doing is trying to help people.
I don't feel that he misrepresents this product in any way. If you don't think it's for you-don't buy it. Easy enough. I certainly wouln't buy it. I also wouldn't think of bashing Knight for distributing it.

 

Well said. The guy has a rep here that can't be undone because of one misinterpretation.

 

Yeah he's a cool guy and he does great SSIM jobs.

The unmatched power of the sprint booster in my hands will be awe inspiring to all those around me as I take advantage of the amazing throttle response.

 

No, not a waste of time. A huge waste of money though. Then again I've never experienced any of this mysterious throttle lag. Apparently it only affects the autos?

 

This and with my electric supercharger and ebay chip ill be running 11s in no time.

 

Fix that nasty hole in your fuel map, tune your nos timing and you'll run 9s.

 

Nice to see we are still on topic.

 

Have you tried the product? I thought not. Your opinion is therefore not only useless, but completely off topic. I've told you the benefits of the product. If you refuse to believe me, well that's up to you.

say what? You really should learn to proof read your assinine statements!! LMFAO So you are saying that if I step on the gas (increase the percentage of the throttle) The ECU does not send a signal to the TB (increasing things such as the ECU engaging wide open throttle) nor does the ECU send any signals to the injectors to increase fuel (injecting fuel into the motor) What the **** are you talking about? Put down the doobie, come back when you are not high as a kite.

 

I've heard from a few people that the booster is very noticeable.

From being on this site & local sites, I know knight yyz does nothing but try to help people.
How many here on this site can simply pm somebody and get their timing advanced, various repairs and installation help, and some very decent homemade mods for dirt cheap.

These smarta$$ accusations of profits by knight yyz are ridiculous. If u had ever met him you would know this. If you think the booster is garbage, so be it. Just stop being so ignorant towards good people you know nothing about.

I know I'd at least try it first

 

I just ordered one I'm going to make videos comparing the stock throttle to the sprint boost power.

 

you don't get more power!!! You eliminate throttle lag. Unbelievable!!

 

You don't eliminate ****! All this does is add more throttle, not take away lag. Like I said before, a mod that increases throttle response decreases the time it take from you putting the pedal down to the car moving.
A mod such as motor mount inserts or an NWP TQ link reduce throttle lag as the motor is held in snug. This is an example of a mod that reduces the lag, because it does so THROUGHOUT the entire throttle range. At any point with those mods you will feel increased and shorten response time.

This booster does not fit the definition because once you get to 80% throttle or more its no different than flooring a regular car. If I have this in my car and engage wot, compared to a car without this, there will be no difference in throttle lag. However if you compare a car with stock mounts and one with poly/NWPTqlink you will see a pretty dramatic difference.

All its effects can simply be simulated by pressing the gas pedal harder, it doesn't lessen throttle lag, it just creates the illusion that it does. That is probably why people who support it think it works, because they are falling for the illusion.

 

I appreciate a good debate like anyone else. As has been suggested, we all need to stick to the topic......opinions, impressions, science, and cross examination I think is all part of a well rounded thread.

I suggest everyone refrain from posts implying personal attacks and criticism. This should never be personal! Attack the information, not the person! If that cannot be done, I feel this thread may soon be locked.

Attacking Knight (or anyone else) personally for his position is as immature and irrelevant as hating on someone because they like Florida Football vs (TN) what/who you like. Of course the other part to this.... is those feeling attacked do not respond immaturely either!

Any New Year's resolutions for world peace and love?

 

How can this reduce "lag?"

Can someone please explain this is TECHNICAL terms?

I just want to understand how this device can alleviate the "lag" between the accelerator pedal and the ECU.

Considering electricity moves at the speed of light, any lag present on the stock DBW system is caused by the ECU and the ECU only.

From what I gather, this only amplifies the throttle signal, so I see no possible way this could reduce lag.

The only possibility this will reduce lag is if you have a really fat leg and it takes you like one second to fully depress the accelerator pedal. In this case, this device would allow you to hit 100% throttle with only 3/4th's throttle pedal movement.

I'm not saying anything about Knight, because every post I've ever seen from him was helpful and sincere. I just want to understand how this works.

I won't simply ignore my knowledge of physics and just trust the manufacturer of this product.

To any Xbox and ps3 players, this can be related to increasing the sensitivity on the joystick. It doesn't reduce the time it takes for the signal to get from the remote to the console, just reduces the human movement required to achieve the same movement in the game.

 

Exactly.

 

The only way it could actually reduce lag is with something on the pedal measuring movement, and another device on the actual throttle body increasing the throttle faster than the ECU would. Just giving the ECU a higher TPS signal is totally different and makes no change to actual lag whatsoever.

 

If you have one second of throttle lag... hypothetically, that means when you press the throttle it takes one second for the TB to react to the signal from the TPS. If you mat the pedal or half throttle or whatever, YOU WILL STILL HAVE THROTTLE LAG. It still takes one second for TB to react to the signal. Lag is lag, and nothing you can do with the stock pedal or stock setup is going to change that.

Now I could be wrong in this, but i am pretty sure i read somewhere that Nissan put a bit of throttle lag in the system for safety reasons. The Maxima is not a sports car, no matter what we want to believe. It is a 4 door family car with a hell of a kick. So to make it easier to drive a bit of lag was put in the system because some thought the drive by wire was too sensitive.

If you put a sprint booster between the gas pedal and the ECU throttle lag is eliminated. I don't care what the stupid web page shows, I have tried the product and throttle lag is eliminated. And anyone who has this on their car will tell you the same thing. As to people reporting problems about having to relearn how to drive there car... Well yes, DUH, any mod on the car will affect how you drive in the future. And saying something isn't true without even trying out is just ignorance.

And sitting here slamming a product you have never tried, and pulling stupid statements out of your *** when you have not experienced the item on your car is just a wild guess. Until you have taken apart the sprint booster and analyzed the electronics and analyzed how it affects the ECU, you are MAKING A GUESS.

You don't know how it works, I don't know how it works. If you really believe you can make a comparable product for less than $100 then here is your chance to get rich because these things are selling faster than they can be made even at the full price of 329 US.

 

Anyone try it on a CVT?

 

Getting a TS F-spec does the samething by increasing the actual throttle linear movements closer to that of the pedal. How does this Sprint Booster work if added to a TS flashed ECU? Or will the TS F-flash work just as well by itself, making the Sprint Booster unnecessary? Dug up some old $h!+!!!!!

 

hasnt this scam been discussed enough

 

Way to bump an old thread noob

 

Just to shake things up, Jime never noticed his throttle closing when using the A33B ECU.

.

That's something, and probably the only thing that TS might have over exaggerated.
