Sprint Booster review for 370z 7 speed AT

gaveup · 05-09-2011, 04:11 PM

Everyone in this thread that thinks the Sprint Booster is some magical fix for the "throttle lag" being described on the 370z is a moron or doesn't actually KNOW what this throttle lag is.

Many people have tried to use logic to explain how this works on amping up the throttle voltage to give a perceived increase in response on here, and no one is even caring to listen.

You all can go out and spend $300 on this unit all you want, but at the end of the day, when your oil temps are above the threshold set by nissan in the ECU, it doesn't matter if you tap the gas, or floor it...your car will ELECTRONICALLY limit the throttle input/opening response.

This isn't rocket science and I don't know how many times this needs to be said.

Oh, and whoever said this is just like hitting an M button on a BMW...You have obviously never been in or driven a car with this feature. A LOT more is changed than just the throttle sensitivity.

Not EVERYONE thinks that and we are talking about what happens with high temps. This just will give the care a better throttle response right out of the driveway.

Ho humm... look at Mr. Self Righteous calling his fellow forum mates morons. Takes one to know one huh??? This mod is not the greatest $300 investment out there monitarily but it does what it claims. Enough people are satisfied with the general result so who the f... are you coming in here like Mr. Hot$h1t calling people morons.
As far as the oil temps, that has nothing to do with this. And it doesn't affect on the road. And even so. The Z is cheaper than a 335 by a pretty penny and is faster while being N/A. Any non poser idiot can easily install an oil cooler for $700 or are you to stupid to order one and get it installed????
If you know bimmers so well, go trade n buy. We don't need that germaphile or guys that think like germaphiles cuz they drove around in a bimmer a few times, in the JDM society anyway. You came off like a total a$$h0le and didn't back up anything you said with concrete info. Do us a favor n

PS. Your an even bigger moron cuz you so call, claim to be an owner of a 2010 Z, but we all knew about the oil issue since april of 09. If it bothered you so much why not buy a 128 with sprt pkg or base 135? Yeah the only moron round here is you.

Where did I say anything about the oil issue bothering me? Did you even read the thread before coming back with this "Captain Internet to the rescue" type of reply? I'm going to guess you didn't.

Oil temps have nothing to do with throttle delay and lag? Seriously? Since you obviously read this whole thread, you must have saw this youtube link posted:

YouTube - 370z Hot vs Cold Throttle Response Time

The overall idea this thread evolved into implying is that this sprint booster fixes the common known issue "throttle lag or delay". Which it doesn't. It simply modifies the voltage from the pedal and rescales it to provide a "quicker" response. If you haven't figured out exactly how this product works by now, I really don't know what to tell you. Since it has been completely spoon fed to you (and others who don't know) by other members.

And please let me know where I said anything about a BMW being so fantastic? Once again, if you had even taken the time to READ THE THREAD, you would have seen this quote:

My reply to this simply stated:

"Oh, and whoever said this is just like hitting an M button on a BMW...You have obviously never been in or driven a car with this feature. A LOT more is changed than just the throttle sensitivity."

I'm missing where I was exactly turning into a "germaphile or guys that think like germaphile" because I know that the "M button" does a lot more than just change the throttle sensitivity. Sorry I know about more than 1 car?

And I feel bad for anyone that pays $700 for an oil cooler...
