Johnston Research And Performance (JRP) has hooked me up with the new Sprint Booster v.3 to test. I was skeptical at first, but I discovered that I really like it. The super fast throttle response is very welcome in a drive-by-wire car. Downshifts are where it will make the most difference for me on the track. I also test the valet mode and pedal lock mode.
You can get one at sprintboosterusa.com
To clarify, this device amplifies the signal of the throttle pedal, allowing you to get to full throttle quicker.

i just roll my eyes when people say "just push the pedal harder". Dont you idiots understand that your throttle is NOT MECHANICAL in a DBW system!. You could push that thing through the floor and it wont make any difference. That philosophy is like saying that if you want a bold letter when typing, just hit the key harder.

How do you open a throttlebody more than 100%? even when stock it opens 100% if you floor it. What this sprint booster does can be done through Drivers wish map, increasing the ramp of the throttle input vs throttle opening up.

The DBW pedal has to have a return spring therefore has mechanical component no? You need to press the pedal harder to get it to travel further.

People who say SprintBooster is a gimmick clearly haven't tried it. I've had it in my MINI Cooper S the last couple years and can't imagine driving without it. When I turn it off the MINI feels like a goddamn Prius even in sport mode. Once under way, it actually makes your car quicker because engine response is so much faster. Boost hits NOW, not in a second... Real world example: you need to pass someone and the window is very short. With SB you can hit that opportunity no problem. Throttle hits quick, turbo spools instantly and you're gone. Without it, you better think twice about that pass.

My experience was similar (on 2006 N52 E60). It's just a mapping but the effect of it is substantial. The default mapping on drive-by-wire BMWs is very conservative and very unlike a cable operated throttle actually works. It's meant to give you more precise control and especially to smoothen out the acceleration and lessen the fuel consumption. The sprintbooster changes the mapping and really makes the engine feel stronger, but especially makes driving more fun because smaller inputs produce bigger results. It's kinda similar to quick steering ratio - if you like a car that reacts to smaller inputs, that feels alive, you'll probably like it. I even installed the E60 "sport button" mod on my car in hopes that the BMWs own throttle remapping will provide the same effect as the sprintbooster and that I will be able to sell the sprintbooster then, but it doesn't. It's actually similar in 0-30% range in that power comes earlier in the pedal travel, but it still saves the last 20% of engines power to the top 80-100% range of the pedal travel. Springbooster doesn't do that. You literally get all the power in the 0-50% travel, as soon as 10% if you're in the low revs, which is how I remember cable operated throttle to work. I leave it in green mode and just disconnect the controller, so nothing looks modded in the interior and I'm for the foreseeable future not getting rid of mine. Don't let the rationalization that is "just a throttle remap" dissuade you from trying it. How a car reacts to its inputs is very important and changes the "feel" of the car very much.

I have one of these on my 2005 E46 M3 since 2008. I think it's a version one. If I engage sport mode on top of the Sprint Booster, it makes car a monster. The throttle response is ridiculously fast. It's overpriced. It should cost $150 not $300. But none the less, I'm very glad that I bought one. I love mine.

I'm a guy who drives a pedestrian 2004 Toyota Camry and I was wondering why the acceleration response on it was so sluggish. I used to drive a '92 Lexus LS400 and even that felt more responsive than my Camry. Been searching around for this and it seems like the Sprint Booster is the closest thing to having the throttle response I had on my '92 Lexus. I know your audience are mostly enthusiasts but I can see this being useful purely from an econobox utilitarian car sorta point of view too.

I've got the sprint v2 in my 2015 chevy 1500 and it makes a big difference in throttle performance. It gives you instant access to power as opposed to the momentary lag you get before power is delivered. It becomes a much smoother power delivery and makes the vehicle nicer to drive! Also from what I understand it will fully open your throttle 100% where as the stock throttle mapping at wide open throttle only opens 85%. I'll be buying version 3 for my mazdaspeed 6.

Glad to know it actually makes a noticeable difference in driving feel and actual throttle plate opening speed. I've always felt my throttle response was slow when flooring the pedal and just believed it to be turbo lag. But now I believe its the drive by wire system. Ordering one to try.

Hey TH! I have the sprint booster in my e46. I love it! Installed it last yr. and never complained. I keep it in the green mode (sport). Red (race) mode is too much for me. I have the version before the one you demonstrated so I like the extra features they added. Mine is just off, green, and red. No levels, valet, or cut offs. Cool though. Pricey but well worth it in my opinion. As always, thanks for your demos.

I had the sprint booster for a while before I returned it. It doesn't make for quick throttle response. It actually amplifies the distance traveled by the throttle, so within the first 2cm of throttle travel you get to red line. It takes the time same time to get there tho but with less throttle travel.

I used to look at this product as a skeptic as well. "Just stomp on the gas pedal faster/harder!" The thing is, your body can sense the difference in milliseconds, so even though this isn't much time, it's still very noticeable. Don't look at it as "just adjusting the throttle mapping" but look at it as "accessing the power your car has quicker". If you mostly drive at 1% to 75% throttle like most people do, then you will benefit from this and similar products. No one floors their pedal ALL the time.

It takes a longer time for the car to get up to speed. Come on man, use your brain to think about it with me real quik. Let's do a lil critical thinkin riiiight.. its laggy without the Sprint gadget. When we connect the Sprint gadget the car isn't laggy anymore.. We can drive the same way we always have but the car seems to respond faster. It's not about stepping on the gas because when you stomp the gas with the Sprint gadget the car reacts differently than when you stomp the gas without it. You see, it's not about how the car was driven versus how it's being driven now. That Sprint thing is doing something to the special to the car that allows you to go from 0 to 60 more quickly than usual. Peace homeboy

This thing basically tries to close that gap. How much time you can shave from your 0-60 depends on how long time your cars stock delay is. Some cars have a big delay, some have less delay.

It only gives you access to the potential power of your car earlier but not quicker. So the throttle lag still exists! Although you said it actually reduced the throttle lag. I don't believe it will do!

I still have it installed. I usually drive in sport mode "6" for aggressive/track driving. With my light flywheel I don't need any more response than that. As for the brake clutch pedal. I was testing those eBay pedals before i actually drilled into the metal of my brake pedal.

One car that it IS worth it on is an R53 Mini Cooper s. They have SUCH a sluggish pedal, and especially with the supercharger, it definitely helps make the car a lot more fun, and at least makes it FEEL faster, from a roll

I just bought a 530 e60 manual. I noticed it requires a full down press of the throttle to downshift properly and that it feels sluggish to just get up to speed. I've owned an e34 5 speed before so this throttle response feels absolutely foreign to me. Thanks fly by wire. People have said this product remedies that, but I'm worried about the ECU getting bent out of shape. Is this really a product that revives that organic throttle response of old bmw's?

For anyone that asks this is just adjusting the throttle map. So how ever much % throttle input results to x amount throttle valve opening. This is like a piggy back Ecu just interrupting the data connection altering the values then sending it back to the Ecu. Yes it does make a difference in response because less throttle input is required to open the throttle valve the same amount.

Can you compare the fastest green mode (5Green?) with the slowest red mode (1Red?) for me please. I'd like to hear your feedback on this. The Sprint Booster has been on my wishlist for some time now. Although I was kind of thinking about either doing a M52B28 (cable-throttle) swap or just buying this for my E46 318i. I was at a super tight slalom/autocross event yesterday and I had such a hard time with the laggy throttle.

Curious to how this fairs against the others such as the pedal commander. Heard the SB is the actual inventor of the tech, and has been around for 13 plus years as opposed to all the others not being around as long, and also having copy cat products. Any input on this?

Hey guys , These units will give you that 1:1 ratio throttle control your car . Provides access to all the power your car can make when you need it. Right now your throttle body opens slower then the throttle being pressed. This gives your car that "disconnect" feeling, making it somewhat difficult to drive. If you do not own one, try one. I see soooooo many people that don't own the product tell people how it they don't need it or they can just hit the pedal harder. This is incorrect. I always recommend using these along with a tune and together they work AMAZINGLY!!! Do yourself a favor....buy one and see for your self. Most companies have a satisfaction guarantee. What do you have to lose? Just my 2cents :)
