Sprint Booster + CVT, my point of view

[Mr.HacKeR]

Hello guys,
So last week I bought the Sprint Booster for my 08 3.5 CVT A/C. It is quite expensive, so I knew i was paying for something that many people don't like (even thought they never tried it).


The installation didn't take more than 5 minutes. The guy at the shop told me to keep it on the green mode (sport) for 4 days, then I can switch it off if want. As I left the shop I didn't feel the difference, I even tried to put it on RED (Racing) mode, but still nothing. but 2 days later, I started feeling that the car is more responsive, but not by much.
Well, today as I was stuck in traffic, I noticed that the SB was still on RED. So I switched it off, after the traffic cleared, I just wanted to step on the gas and fly like I usually do, but I felt like I've had the car on the manual mode on a high gear (no torque), but I looked down and the gear was on D. Then I realized that I switched off the SB! Now, I can really feel the difference! And I love SB!
I don't know if it makes the car any faster, but it definitely feels faster, and with a very gentle step on the accelerator in RED mode the rpm reaches 5000!

Sprint Booster dosnt add power it simply overrides your electronic throttle response which in more lamen terms cuts 1 second off your 1/4 mile time enjoy it i put it on all my cars it truely makes the diffrence but i hope they sent you the new one with the keys and not the switch -_-

This is something similar I want for my car. I've been told to go with the UpRev, is the Sprint Booster basically the same as UpRev tuner? Or is Sprint only for the 3.5?

I think I have the newest one

I'm really glad I bought it, but the price is still high in my opinion.

UpRev is an ECU upgrade, where sprint booster is something that you attach to your throttle to make it more responsive.
It is available for all cars and models.

Sounds awesome! But for the money isn't it better just to get a BDT or UpRev?

Actually I'm not sure, but in my case there are no shops that can do an UpRev for an A/C, as for the BDT, some new laws have been issued here recently, I can't have any Exhaust systems, CAIs or even a Y-Pipe. Even lowering the car can get you in trouble (impound), but I'm really trying to do my best to upgrade my car without getting too much attention, and the SB was a really good choice!

[BadaBing7189]

you can use BDT and SB at the same time, i do at least and it works out just perfectly for me

i have the uprev and SB and its awesome, it is a high price but it feels like you added 20hp to your car, but its really person preference.

That was my question right there. You can rock an Uprev and a sprint booster together? Are you getting mid 12's on the 1/4 mile?

1 second on the 1/4 mile? Not happening ! More along the lines of .3-.5 at the most, which is still huge !

I dont see him doing mid 12s, I've heard of only a few modded 3.5s getting into the mid 13s N/A. Actually, I think there is a fully built 3.5 for drag running 12s.

sounds sweet.. this wont void the nissan warranty will it?

[JdsCoupe]

which model did you get? I only see an option for a 350z 02-09 and altima 09-present.

[Mr.HacKeR]

The ad. said it won't void the warranty! But I don't think it will be a problem if you remove it before you take your car to the service, it shouldn't take you more than 2 minutes to remove it or put it back on.

I'm sorry, I don't think I can help you with that. The guy @ the shop gave me one for Nissan-Infinity.
You can email them and ask them
