Sprint Booster, again.

[Funkyfin2000]

using mine and yes u NEED to adjust your driving style...it makes the throttle pedal VERY sensitive...but im slowly getting use to it..

i also found out that there is a possibility of not having to buy this hardware...an you can change the throttle response with a program called lemmiewinks!

anyone confirm? or have lemmiewinks...

all this module does tho is actually just give you full throttle as soon as you press the pedal!

Are you sure it's that easy?

 

[Funkyfin2000]

thats what i was told, but maybe not accurate...

but it is possible to change thorttle response of the pedal with software....

i think some of the remaps do this, to make u think you are going faster!

Vidar sorry to go off topic but how the hell did you get 210bhp with no map?

 

[Balf2k]

I too was wondering that

I wondered when somebody would ask that.

To be correct, it's not 210 break horse power, but normal HP or whatever you want to call it over in UK. I haven't converted it, but I assume they're pretty close?

The magic happened when I put in the N75 J. It seems that the J holds boost longer so the poor turbo can spool longer and/or faster.

I've not 210 in a very wide range, but the numbers don't say anything about that! Only the graph from the run say something about that. It's not a very even graph. It peaks pretty good at certain rpm's.

One would think I would run lean or rich, but nothing indicates that.

Anyway, it's always fun to see what I can do when I'm up against 225HP LCR's and TT's. There's a few (illegal) turbo swaps over here, but when one can't drive or break, that doesn't matter!

Bhp and Hp are pretty much the same!

Hp is measured with no alt, aircon, stereo on bla bla bla!
Bhp is measured with some of this stuff on!

But you need to get your car seen to if its spiking at over 30hp over standard with only some minor mods!

If its not holding the boost all the J valve, then maybe that ain't best for your car!

For a K03 to hit 210Hp is a big jump with no map!

I would like that sentence rewritten please. Remember, you're talking to an alien.

Yup! One day, at 1,5BAR, it's all !

after reading many post, i'm getting one, either for xmas or just after cant wait, by then i'll be used the remap and will feel the difference!! cant wait

Who remapped your car?
I could save you £200
Give me a shout if interested

Sorry, what i was trying to say is that if your car is boosting very high levels then falling off and leveling out, ie not a smooth curve and constant level then maybe you would be better of without the N75J change it back?
Just remeber, prob better to have 190 constant HP than 210 that comes and goes over a shakey boost curve!

I've been thinking about this, and it can't be that simple. If it gives me full throttle as soon as I press the pedal, revving on idle would also be different, but it's not, on my car.

I see your point, I've learnt to handle it over the years tho'.

Maybe I exaggerated a bit, it's not like on and off. And I think a very few with a turbo car have a constant amount of power.

I'll have to dig out the graph and start a new thread.

 

[Funkyfin2000]

it wouldn't change on idle thought would it...

its just as soon as the thorttle pedal has some input, it puts the revs straigt up to 100% as fast as possible...

 

[v-g]

it wouldn't change on idle thought would it...

Eh? I didn't say it would change when the idling stays at 800-900 rpms. (Like when you get out of the car a just watch it stand there and pollute.)

Ok, language problems.
With "revving on idle" I mean, 800-900 rpms (idle), then rev it (give the pedal some input so the rpms rises.) But mine is no faster at that than before.
So, I mean it feels like something senses that the car is in motion before it gives it 100%.

OK, I give up. The little thing is insane anyhow!

 

[Andy_J]

so it's really worth the 200 sheet price tag then?

I assume you're talking GBP's? I paid USD 300, approx GBP 140 (converted via NOK). So, for me, definitely worth it.

 

[RobDon]

No way does it give you 100% throttle as soon as you press the pedal - no way! My fuel consumption hasn't suffered so I'm not driving around on full throttle all the time. I can only assume that the electronics in the sprintbooster are similar to the 'sport' button which sharpens up response etc. on many modern cars.

 

[Funkyfin2000]

it doesn't give you 100% throttle like sraight away, but instead of giving you like 20%,30%,40% gradually as u press, it goes to 100% and revs the car as fast as it can...

its hard to explain...personally i would love to hear how it does really work but im also interested if anyone has done this with lemmiewinks...or has a copy of lemmiewinks

 

[Willie]

Is there not something written somewhere that says it magnifies the throttle signal
so not 1% = 100% but more like 20% = 50%
Maybe

I really don't care what it technically does.
What counts for me, is that it's the most bang for the bucks I've ever bought! It does miracles on my almost stock Leon. Step on it, and it instantly reacts.

I played with a 993 Carrera today, and he got a surprise! I had no trouble keeping up with him on the twisty road. I even passed him a few times while whistling my SSQV. It's so fun!
