Sprint booster

[campeon]

Hello,

I am thinking of buying the Sprint booster but I want to know if anyone has used it before? Does it work? Does anyone know if the one for the corolla on the site fits our Corolla Sportivo

Thanks,

The Corolla Sportivo has a cable throttle, so it won't work. Add to that, the Sportivo is not lacking in response. This might work for the regular Corolla with the 1ZZ, as they have an electronic throttle. But once again, it just increases response, not power...

Gav.

A free way to get better throttle response is simply to adjust your throttle cable if its a bit loose :D

I've said my words on this before for a different branded product that does what the SprintBooster does. I'll just reiterate them to hopefully save others from money (only works with an electronic throttle):

Those are completely pointless. All they do is adjust the amount that the throttle plate moves in relation to how much you press on the accelerator. Such a massive waste of money (AU $359.58 + AU $78.24 for the harness if you choose) for something you can easily adjust with decent driving skills.

Look at it this way. For a normal DBW throttle, you depress the accelerator 10% of its range, the throttle plate moves 10% of its range. Now you add this box and put it into 'Sports' mode. Now when you depress the accelerator 10%, the throttle moves 20% (for example). What happens when you depress the accelerator 50%... the throttle is at 100% and the rest of the range in your accelerator is useless.

Now it only takes a fraction of a second to press the accelerator that extra distance that this box is going to compensate for. There is absolutely no gain in respect to this.

Putting it into 'Eco' mode will do the opposite. For example, you depress the accelerator 10%, the throttle moves only 5%. Now This I can see would provide some sort of gain if you were trying to drive like a granny and want to get your revs 100% perfect, but realistically it is just useless. You can gain decent control with practice.

I don't mean to rain on your parade, but those are just my opinions.

These advertising trolls are getting more and more sneaky ;) They even had Daryl fooled!

Only facelift zze122's and the zre152 corolla's have dbw. All early models have a cable which is what i prefer.
