Nissan 370Z Forum  

Just ordered a sprintbooster...

Does it work better on the auto or manual?

Default Auto or Manual

Bodyman, there are two units for the newer Zs. One for auto , one for manual. You choose the one for your car when you order.
Best ,

As for "work better?" I have no idea. I only know what I've read here.

Default Booster Installed

I received the sprint booster a few days ago. Installation was easy. After driving/testing, there is a difference, but not a significant difference. Sending it back for a refund.

Which mode did you have it set on? Even on conservative (green) my car accelerates much quicker than stock. When on red the damn thing just pulls. But I have a manual.

Leave it off for awhile and come back to it . I just got back from an extended stay and was amazed how it responded .

Default Going again

I'm going back out again this am, and take a longer drive. On my first drive I did try all modes , accelerating from 55-60 mph. I'm thinking the Booster is more for accelerating from slower speeds??
Thx

Default Sunday AM Drive

Just returned from a spirited drive around the area. Mostly industrial area, where the traffic was almost zilch. I got a much better feel for tha Sprint Booster now. It does add a lot of fun factor to this kind of driving, verses hiway. Guess I'll keep it, cause "fun" is what these cars are for. Thanks

These things must do more than just simply eliminate the lag of the throttle.I assume that on a stock pedal for example if you give it 50% this device will tell the ECU you are at 75% or something to create this whole effect.If this is the case,it's something that does not interest me.

You are pretty much correct, according to other forums (corvette) I have read. I am not an expert. It does change the electric impulses to the ECU and is much more noticeable at slower speeds. " Eliminate " lag it does not , at highway speeds.

I always tell someone when questioning the difference, turning it off really shows how well it works and the difference is most obvious. Green for me, red is that nice feeling of knowing it gets even better. Auto trans love this and if you want more aggressive for the auto, get the one for the manual. For me with my auto, holy crap who wants more??? I do see the need for more intake and I want an oil cooler. I'm just driving it more and more to get to my first oil change, 5K miles so I can have them put on the chin spoiler under the nose.

I installed a SB on my 2015 manual. Red mode is a bit much but is still fun. Green is perfect. Going back to stock is interesting after using the SB. Takes a bit to get familiar with the clutch play but overall I'm keeping it.

One thing I do like is the long cord for the button control. Mine is routed under the carpet and peeks out on the front left side of my mat. I can reach it and see the light easy when driving.
