- Today on JD Cars we find out... does the sprint booster actually make your car faster? Or does it simply feel faster? I was rather impressed by the results. I also found the sprint booster made launches substantially easier and faster. I enjoy using the sprint booster on a daily basis and would recommend it. Thanks for watching.

0.5sec gain from a 0-60 run without adding power, gearing or tires is absolutely amazing. Tested this out on my 07 sport trac and it made it feel like it finally can live up to the "sport trac" name lol, needless to say I ordered mine and will get it within a week from now.
The drone footage was a nice feature in this video. Keep it up JD Cars.
Thanks man!
Looks like Your gear shifting skills need a sprint booster also 😁
installed it on E91 2006 330xi - big difference in gas pedal response. starts are pretty much different. recommended.
This makes sense. It's like if someone takes 1 second to go from 0% to 100% throttle and another person taking 2 seconds and presses the throttle slower, taking 2 seconds to go from 0% to 100% throttle.
Very nice job of explaining it simply!
Doesn't matter if his launch is absolutely perfect. It's the same guy doing the same thing on the same car yet getting different results. So it looks like the Sprint Booster is worth it. Thanks for the good vid. Planning to get either this or Pedal Commander for my 2012 G37x sedan.
Thank you, John! Good point. I'd definitely recommend the Sprint Booster!
Don't know if anyone tried what you did. What you did, within your own means, was very helpful to a potential buyer of this thing. Thanks, a great video!
Thanks Jay! I appreciate it
Great video. To the point without any B.S. wasting time. Great job
I appreciate that! Glad you enjoyed.
The added camera angles make this video so dope. Great video all around.
Thanks, Bryan!
I have to say that old cars were much more fun launching cause they had cable intake and it felt way more natural. Now its all about smoothness.
You were supposed to turn the traction control completely off by holding the dtc button down for about 5 or 6 seconds and rev it at about 1500 to 2000 RPM. It should faster than 7.2 especially with a throttle booster. One question though are you above sea level , because that may be the confusion.
Traction all the way off would've resulted in wheel spin (same with higher revs). The reason it is 7.2 is because this is a manual transmission.
JD Cars I didn’t think of it that way, perfectly explained. 👌🏽😊
JD Cars manage your throttle and you won't wheel spin. Don't just mash the peddle down
I think the point of leaving it on and driving it the way he did is because that's how most people drive. Personally I'm way more interested in what kind of 0 to 60 I get under normal driving conditions than in perfect setup or track conditions.
@@brdavis then that completely defeats the purpose of the test....
Since I am a data guy, this was the best review as it wasn't just a seat of the pants review but you actually measured the difference. I especially like the consistency you gained which would have not been apparent without actually collecting the data.
Thanks man! I'm glad you appreciate the test!
Nice video. I have mine set to green 5. It does make a difference. Thanks for testing it
That's a good setting. Definitely makes a difference!
Footage in this video is really good quality, drone was a really cool idea. Nice video man.Have you ever considered a supercharger or turbocharger? I've been doing some research for my 2006 330i (N52) and it seems like not a lot of people end up boosting our cars. Also I'm running 0-60 in 6 sec flat with a little bit of wheel spin but it seems like the timings people are posting are all over the place. Lots of different factors guys.
Thanks man! I've thought about it and I think supercharging or turbocharging would be risky because the N52 wasn't built for boost.
Thanks for the testing and validation - I just ordered one for my Crosstrek XV.
Those drone shoots are makin it much more juicy 😊
Thanks man, glad you like them!
Great video! I'm amazed by the amount of quality that went into the creation of the video.
Thank you, I'm glad you appreciate it!
Us the BMS pedal tuner pretty much the same? It's $180 bucks I know BMS is good usually especially with BMW
You didn it much better than I could have thought of doing it...Nice Job
Thanks man!
I really liked the drone footage. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Paul!
Yes, nice job, really do like the drone footage, that would be awesome int he twisties! Thanks for the Sprint Booster test - placing my order today!
Thanks! I’m glad you enjoyed the video
@@JDCarsChannel Got the Sprintbooster and it was everything you indicated it would be! The install on a Merc GLA was a bear - the plug on the accelerator is behind a plastic shield - I ended up using a bent screwdriver to apply pressure to pop it off, but it took over an hour with some scrapped knuckles! The result, however, is amazing! Changes the character of the car significantly and makes it a lot more fun to drive (it's a winter car, since I'm used to my summer sports car, it was pretty hard to make the transition the sprintbooster certainly helps!) Thanks again for the great video!
@@blackmanxrjc still good?
turn off your DTC to get full power , with manual trans it works great
You have to take off traction control completely off hold the dtc button until some circle comes out with a triangle in the middle ull have full power of the car then launch it at 2500 rpms u should be getting numbers under 7sec nd dont shift to 3rd, 2nd gear makes it to 60
Traction all the way off would've resulted in wheel spin (same with higher revs). The reason it is 7.2 is because this is a manual transmission.
JD Cars i have a manual 07 328i stock nd i get better numbers than all u have to do is get a perfect launch little tire spin cause if u dont take traction off completely the car itself cuts power off u get less throttle response nd ur 0-60 times rnt ass good
So you missed the point its not about how fast this car can go 0-60 , its about what the device does which obviously with all things equal its faster when doing a straight acceleration test.
JD Cars Unless you dump the clutch you’re not going to get wheel spin, I have an 08 328i 6spd and having the DTC/DSC completely off allows full TORQUE and almost instant throttle response to the wheels at low rpm. It’s a night and day difference. Try it out and maybe make a follow up video. Also try a rolling start at maybe 15mph if you’re doubting
What!? I gotta go try that now. I didn't know DTC had a double secret setting.
EDIT: I 'm back. That helped a lot. I thought I was having boost lag issues after DIY FBO and tuning work. All my power was back end loaded. Not any more.
The afe power sprint booster is meant to help with throttle body lag, it helps give your electronic throttle body a faster response from the pedal. They are more worth it for the gasser ford super duty trucks and gm and dodge gasser heavy duty line of trucks because those are found to have throttle body lag, and will help with those more than a car.
BMWs have adaptive throttle and the lag can be bad at times.
Why get the sprint booster when you could get the BMS Power Box which provides not only reflashed throttle maps but also adds hp and tq? Plus, it's cheaper. I've been considering to get one or the other.
Simply didn't see the BMS power box first... looks good though
It doesnt look like your launches are optimum. At what RPM are you dropping the clutch?
Also you seem to shifting gears at 7000rpm which is about 500-1000 rpm too high.
^ Exactly
Utilizzando lo spreentbooster a metà corsa acceleratore sei già a tavoletta cioè al max, l altra metà della corsa acceleratore è vuota avvertendo un fastidioso buco giusto??? È una mia perplessità perché il modulo amplifica anche il segnale.
Excellent test and video! You nailed it!
Nice use of Mavic! Also good job providing the best empirical evidence you could
Thank you!
If the dtc light is on that means that it’s traction control is off. It’s in the manual
Actually... DTC means Dynamic Traction Control. This allows for more power to be put to the ground. You have to hold the DTC button for about 10 seconds to completely disable traction control.
Love this video. Will be testing this as well.
Congrats, very impressive video !!
It opens sooner instead of faster or you can say improves reaction time.
yup, i can get the jump on anyone with this thing..
the valvetronic system in bmw engines negates the need for a throttle body so I think all the sprint booster does is increase pedal sensitivity
Good video. JD u should consider the AA tune stage 2 tune or the BPC tune paired with an intake manifold swap. Im gonna do it soon
Yeah! Sounds sweet!
Have a Chrysler crossfire limited and really thinking about adding the sprint booster to it along with a magna flow exhaust system
I wonder what kind of impact "Sprint Booster" would have with a manual, up-shifting and downshifting in the twisties? Also, in FWD, I would imagine torque steer would be murder.
It makes downshifting a breeze!
Can you comment on "torque steer?" I was the proud owner of an 84' Dodge Colt "turbo" ... (my 1st fwd) After a very sedate test drive, I nearly lost it on my first "spirited" turn.
E90 bmw is rwd
i wish you had a 323 e46 your videos are so good as always
Thanks man
Awesome video, thank you!
It doesn't technically make the care faster or add hp, it remaps the throttle body to open up much faster than stock settings. It just delivers the power much faster
Yes…..
my mapped e46 does 6.5s - 6.6s with 190bhp and dtc off of course. nice vid
Where did you get that radio from.. need the same exact one
Thank you for proving my point
I recently test drove a 2010 BMW 128i (automatic) and the lack of throttle response from a stop was disconcerting; it felt like it took over 1 second for the throttle to kick in. It made me very nervous crossing intersections because of this. Any idea if this is something normal for these cars? Would the Sprint Booster help?
This is very normal on early model fly by wire cars like that. The sprint booster resolves this problem.
yes get one i have 128i i add 1 and its amazing
Will this mess up the engine in anyway ??
No, it shouldn't
Were these full launches or soft launches?
Bro whats the name of that drone?
DJI Mavic Pro.
that nice it shows the difference with simple launch. you can probably hit 6 with a proper launch. i got 6.2 with stock (i removed that crappy built in filter idk if thats a mod) and another person in the car
Nice! I'm upgrading my intake soon.
rskrks I saw that, I too am bound and determined to take that out as soon as I know what aftermarket intake I'm getting. I've also fashioned two fairly small pieces of sheet metal to be behind the grill and ram air into the intake snorkels above the kidneys. Still plenty room for air to radiator, plus header tape so my sheet metal will not absorb heat from radiator. I can send you pics if you like. Just unused ductwork I found in garage.
A 128i is 0-60 in 5.7 seconds. A 2008 328 is 6.0. 7.2 seconds is just terrible. And this product is garbage.
Good job on the video! This is good information. Thanks!!!
Which variant was this tested on, 325i?
New to your channel and love the content im 17 and im now starting to think if i should buy this car as my first car
Thanks man! I would highly recommend it!
The test was very well executed and well presented. I have a single point that could be improved and that is the tone of your voice. Very monotone with no change in pitch note or key. Not a criticism, far from it, just something to help out, I'm sure you can see that, and once you watch the video again you will agree lol
Hahaha I can agree with that... was probably having a busy week. I've also become more comfortable and casual talking to the camera since then. Thanks for the support!
JD Cars glad you took it in the intended way, I was just tryin to help dude cos its not often I bother to comment with channel owners cos I'm not bothered about them but I like watching your channel because you are fair and not biased, that's rare. Keep up the good work my friend, you are doing great things
JD Cars PS, nice car bro
Thank you man, I truly appreciate your honesty and support! It's people like you that keep me going!
You need to learn how to launch. Turn traction OFF, hold at 2500-3000 RPM to drop that clutch... practice makes perfect.
I know how to launch... Traction OFF and 3000 RPM with an open dif doesn't work too well. Tons of wheel spin.
@@JDCarsChannel first thing you need is the widest performance tires and then an lsd. Then you can get on it more and improve the time.
Continental SportContacts or ExtremeContacts will fix the grip
JD Cars no you don’t.. no e90 does 0-60 in less than 6.5sec and you managed an average of 7.8 😂
@@Hrishka18 e90 could be n54 which will be a large difference...
@2:15 Why would you want traction control turned on?
Fair enough 🤷♂️
Pretty good quality video my dude
Is the N52 the 2.5 NA? I've a 06 e90 325I sport, 3 liter. It cannot be lowered, and my dinky 17 wheels leave no fender gap. It has a limited slip, and with the stick shift, my 0-60 seems to hover around 6 seconds. I was figuring any throttle like that would only make my throttle more predictable, reliable like a true throttle(I.e. my e30). Can please straighten out my confusion about the engines at least? I KNOW I have an 06 e90 325I with an NA 3 LITER STRAIGHT SIX. Is that what you were in, and if not what's the engine code for the three liter. I'm about to forget it all, spiff up the e30, and get that m20 around 200 crank hp because it's simple.
Yes I have a 3 liter straight six...
What is that, on top of the dash, forward of the steering wheel? Some kind of heads up display? Looks interesting.
That is the Navdy heads up display. I haven't used it in a while, but it works great!
Is your back seat fixed or is it able to fold down? My e90 has a fixed backseat, if you want to, could you down a video of removal and reinstall of back seat completely?
My back seat is fixed.
will this fit in the same car with xdrive?
Yes
Thanks for doing this, loved the video!
Thanks for the support!
Super neat video, honestly I came across this when researching the Sprintbooster, but now I'm looking up the Mavic Pro, how do you like it and how is that ActiveTrack feature?
Hahaha thank you! Maybe I should promote video gear now too! I love the Mavic Pro. Best of both worlds: very high quality footage and extremely good travel-ability.
Yea i got a auto 328i with bms powerbox and my avg is 6.2
Sweet
This car didnt even squirm of the line because we see the take off was not brutal and conservative. My auto 330i lights up on takeoff, Im on stock tires and wheels but Im got 18x9 front and 18x10 with michelin ps4s 245f and 285r, on the way, that should up my grip level. If you had wider sticky tires then take off dct you can be more aggresive and faster takeoff and time for sure.
what DTC are you pertaining to ? does it need to be ON?
What kind of screen is that installed?
What litre n52 do you have? Also do you have the awd xi or the rwd? Just wondering haha
Thank you
Hey man I got the same car and I want your headlights in mine. What exactly am I looking for? Please!!
I no longer have those headlights... they were discontinued
Make those gauges "extra large" on torque app... great video btw
Thanks man
What about the fuel consuption ?
Was it increased ?
maybe, depends on how much you step on it I guess, I believe it has adjustable levels ,
Love the editing
Thanks man!
Considering buying this for my 07 e90 328i but mine is auto would this make any difference?
Yes it would definitely still make a difference. And it’s an Eonon screen installed in the car
Shifts are very smooth, but a bit slow. You could probably knock a good full second off that 0-60 with quicker upshifts.
Yeah I was being too nice to her 😂
Good review!!!
Thanks for the vid. You fancy AF with all of those gidget gadgets...
Hey, which Eonon system do you have? Looks dope bro
(Please answer this) could you stack this on with a tune? Or would it be too dangerous for the engine?
You could stack on a tune, but most tunes will have throttle remapping built in.
JD Cars dang really? Would it still be beneficial to stack this product tho? Or not really?
My best 0-60 was 6.53. 2011 328i bone stock. Not too sure why yours is over a half a second slower. I️ thought manuals were supposed to be faster?
Andrew Greene computer vs human error. It's a losing battle with the manual
Manual is more fun, but it will never be as fast as a computer.
Andrew is correct.
Andrew Greene these guys are right, plus the manual has six ratios- doesn't the auto have eight?
Jared Dogaer nope they are both 6 speed, the f30 are the ones with the 8 speed zf transmission I believe
How you did you film with dron at same time? Whats is that estéreo dude?
Auto tracking! Eonon GA6175
This is measuring from when the car moves. If you could measure from when you hit the gas, the results would be much more evident. I wish all auto reviewers would measure 0-60 from pedal press to 60mph. That's a better indicator of the experience of driving the car.
Fair point!
Good i formation thanks man...
you the man lil bro, this videos are dope
Thanks Jason!
I agree with others, you gotta learn how to launch. You keep saying you'll get wheel spin, well learn how to manage the throttle so you don't get wheel spin... Don't just floor it.
Is it really faster with sprintbooster?=)
Yes! Absolutely
I dont think the 0-60 on torque is as accurate as a stopwatch is it?
It's more accurate. A stopwatch will never be as accurate as an onboard timer.
@@JDCarsChannel it's just Bletooth OBD? Mine lags a bit I'm unsure if my reading is right.
Love the music player
What about the cutout how is it holding?
Works great!
Can the stereo system check your oil temp too?
I didn't see it, but maybe.
Mine is only the level and there's no conventional dipstick. Trying to give folks these details so maybe I'll learn some things.
Bruh how did you install??
Yo the drone is so cool! Keep it up bro
Song name?
What kind of radio is that??
Eonon GA6165
How has your MPG been with the throttle booster? @jdcars
Honestly not bad! Averaging around 20mpg
What camera and drone is that?
Lumix G camera and Mavic Pro drone.
Lmao I requested this video, this really helps thank you
Glad you liked it!
My best 0-60 time has been 5 seconds flat. I in the other hand got the BMS Power Box. This on a 07 BMW 328i with traction control off
meanwhile my e90 does an insane 10.8 secs . Junk 316 life.
Manual transmission makes it a bit difficult.
Mine is also a 6 speed manual
6** 5 seconds is 335i territory. A 328i isn't that fast even with the ess supercharger.
0 to 60 on a 328i stock is 6 to 6.7 seconds. In the other hand on a 335i stock is 5.5 to 5.3 sec 0 to 60. Best times based on manual transmission.
All this talk in the comments about dumping the clutch is exactly why manufacturers like BMW and Honda are putting clutch delay valves in their cars, to prevent all these so called experts from ruining their clutches!!
Which radio using ?
Eonon GA6175
Your BMW is as fast as my Crown Vic stock with 3.55 gears
😂😂
lol@"wheel spin". Your traction is destroying your launch. Manual Transmission is fast.
My2011 Scion tC has a faster 0-60 than your BMW, and it was Manual Transmission too. But I made sure to turn off the traction control when I launched.
With that said, great camera angles (Y)
