Sprint Boosters
Automobiles in the 21st century have replaced the more conventional throttle cable technology for an ECM (Electronic Control Module) that translates pedal travel into electronic signals in order to provide power to the wheels.
The ETC system (Electronic Throttle Control) – also known as drive-by-wire – has the unfortunate downside of delayed throttle response and subdued acceleration, creating problems in certain circumstances such as up-hill starts, quick gearchanges, overtaking, etc.The Sprint Booster aims to overcome this throttle response delay for ETC-equipped vehicles, providing crisp on-tap acceleration at the driver’s disposal.
What is a Sprint Booster, and what does it do?
It is a device that improves acceleration by continuously measuring and converting the digital signal provided by the ETC’s potentiometer, and providing the ECM with a new and altered signal.
The Sprint Booster aims to overcome this throttle response delay for ETC-equipped vehicles, providing crisp on-tap acceleration at the driver’s disposal.
PEDAL-LOCK:
The Pedal Lock mode provides extra protection against unauthorized vehicle use. The driver can deactivate the acceleration ability of the vehicle when it's stationary through a 3 digit PIN. When Pedal lock is enabled the acceleration gets disabled and the vehicle stays on idle until you enter the correct PIN.
VALET Mode:
When in Valet mode Sprint Booster limits the acceleration of the vehicle by 55%-65%- 75% (comes in 3 selectable levels). The Valet Mode is activated/deactivated through a 3 digit PIN. By limiting the acceleration there will be a significant reduction in the vehicle's performance (Power and Torque).
SPORT Mode:
Sprint Booster provides improved response up to 30%. The LED of the selector switch in Sport mode is Green. A total of 18 programs are available in Sport mode, 9 for Automatic transmissions, and 9 for Manual transmissions vehicles with '1' being the least aggressive program and '9' the most aggressive.
RACE Mode:
Sprint Booster provides improved response up to 60%. The LED of the selector switch in Race mode is Red. A total of 18 programs are available in Sport mode, 9 for Automatic transmissions, and 9 for Manual transmissions vehicles with '1' being the least aggressive program and '9' the most aggressive.
