Sprint Booster

skag1T said:
I installed the sprint booster on my 2018 4R about 3 months ago, I did the proper installation where you open the door and wait 10 min, etc.

No issues at all so far.

One thing I noticed that I did not see in the reviews, besides the faster throttle response, the 4R upshifts faster if I push the gas pedal a bit more, like if I want to pass a car, or speed up on the highway.

Before, I had to push the pedal quite a bit for the 4R to upshift, and quite often it would upshift 2 gears or more - the engine would all of a sudden rev very high and the 4R would jump forward.

With the sprint booster it is much easier to control the upshifts.

I set it to green level 8. The red is waaaaay to responsive and hard to control for me.

Thanks for the feedback. What you mentioned is one of the reasons I have some customers say they've gotten better gas mileage. Rpm's spiking constantly on a trip will just burn more fuel.

From my experience it seems green 7-9 is the favorite setting for a nice linear feel, without it being too aggressive. I have these back in stock again for anyone wanting to order.

I’ve had a SB on my 18 ORP for over two years. Same as you; set at Green 8. For the heck of it while driving around town the other day I turned it off, back to the OEM setting. I went home and forgot about it.

The next day I get on a 4 lane highway and slowly merge into traffic. A few minutes later I try to goose it with my normal foot pressure to pass a car and WTF??? No response! I wind up having to mash the pedal almost to the floor, where at Green 8 it used to be just a small foot movement to get the same response. The OEM drive-by-wire programming is really annoying.

Yep, it's absolutely pathetic how slow the factory programming is. It's a turtle, but luckily it can be fixed.

l love everything about my 2022 4runner Limited except the throttle lag (like everyone else) so I installed a Sprint Booster last week. It took less than a minute to install but I can see where it would take longer if one's fingers aren't strong enough to disconnect the harness connector. I'm playing with the selector switch settings but so far it looks like Green #9 or Red #1 are working best for me. I will leave it on my favorite level of boost and disconnect the selector cable from the Sprint Booster for daily driving soon. I will plug it back in and turn off the Sprint Booster when I take my 4runner in for my warranty oil changes for 2 years. Like other people have said it feels like my 4runner has been "awakened" and this should be the way it comes from the factory. Jason Burtman treated me right with the price and 2 day shipping and was easy to work with as usual. For me the Sprint Booster is worth the cost considering the smile on my face when driving my new 4runner. BTW all members of my family drive 4runners (2008, 2009, 2016, 2020, 2022).

Thank you for the update. It's appreciated and super cool you have that many 4Runners in the family! This item has now become my best selling part.

I have a sprint booster in my 2019 TRD PRO. It's the V3 that I ordered from Burtman. I have a 2022 Pro on order. I'm assuming I can just swap it to my 2022 when it comes in? Nothing has changed in the drivetrain at all, I believe.

As a counter-point, I have a Pedal Commander in my '20 SR5 and like it. Only problem is that I attached it near the driver's (my) right leg and it can be a pain to access while driving. So I mostly preferred to use the app. But then the app started spamming all kinds of lame push notifications about UFC fights and other nonsense - so I deleted the app and basically stopped using the hardware. Maybe time for a switch.
 
Got mine the other day, set it up in about 5 mins and set it to City 5. Plan on experimenting with it over the next month to fine tune it. Love the fact that you don't have to leave it connected to use it. Just keeping it in the glove box until I decide to change settings.
 
[MENTION=9]Jason B[/MENTION], it looks like some of the links on the website are inactive. Was that content identical to your current Youtube channel?

Thanks!

Just got my Sprint Booster today from Jason and I am loving it. Install was easy, but removing the OEM throttle cable sucks. Just know that going in! . The SB is soooo much smaller than the Pedal Commander, which is a good thing. It fit absolutely perfect in the blank slot just to the right of the steering wheel. Thanks Jason!!!!

Glad to help you out! Yes, it is much smaller (that's not what she said, hopefully) lol. Good mounting location in that spot too :)
