Hey, guys.
Today I'm here at the Sprint Booster Power Converter, fitting all 2018 and newer JL Wranglers.
So if you've noticed a lack in throttle response, maybe you've added some larger wheels and
tires or even some extra armor to your Jeep and you're feeling a little bit sluggish and
you're looking to gain some extra get up and go while getting on the highway or even just
driving around on the street, then a power converter or a throttle response controller
is going to be right up your alley and this is a perfect one to take a look into.
So essentially what you're doing when you're adding a throttle response controller is modifying
the delay for when your foot hits the pedal.
So when your throttle body opens, so this is going to increase or decrease that delay
once your foot hits that pedal.
So this is gonna come with a couple of different features.
This is going to come with sport mode as well as brace mode, increasing your throttle response
up to 30% and 60%.
And you're going to have nine different settings within those two settings, so you can really
fine tune to how you want your Wrangler to feel.
So another thing that I do really like about this is the fact that this is going to incorporate
a little bit of security even within this small device and very user-friendly device
should I say.
So this is going to have a pedal lock feature as well as a valet mode that's going to delay
that response up to 55%, 65%, and 75% so once you're done cruising around the street, you
hand the keys to the kids, this is not going to allow them to reach that 30% or 60% increase
because you do have a security key that you have to put into this as well as the pedal
lock mode that is going to give you a little bit of security and not let you access this
device without that three-digit code.
So I would like to mention that this is not going to be a tuner and this is not going
to increase your horsepower and torque numbers or allow you to change any parameters within
your ECU, this is only going to modify your throttle response from your gas pedal.
So if you are interested in giving your Wrangler a little bit more horsepower or changing up
some things in the ECU, then you would want to look into some tuner options, however,
if you're just looking to get that extra get up and go or getting on the highway or cruising
around in the street, then this is going to be a really good option to take a look at.
So this is gonna be priced at roughly $300 and I think that that's a pretty fair price
point for what this comes with and it's honestly a very average price point for a throttle
response controller.
So when we take a look at other throttle response controllers on the page, usually they're set
around that same price point but some may operate differently or some may have a more
or less mode.
So in comparison to this, which is very user-friendly, very compact, some may have larger controllers
or have Bluetooth connectivity and some may just have dials where you can fine tune them
in, but you don't get a little screen on there which will allow you to actually know which
mode you're in.
So in my personal opinion, I think this is very easy to use, it's also very compact,
meshes very well with the interior and isn't a big eyesore.
And overall I think this is a really good device, especially for that price point at
$300.
So install is gonna be a very easy one out of three wrenches on the difficulty meter.
You're just gonna need one tool and that tool is optional to get this thing installed.
So speaking of the install let's jump into that now.
The tool that I used for my install was a flat head screwdriver.
So the first step to this is to install our power converter.
Now this is going to go in between the harness and your throttle pedal and then we're gonna
plug in our controller onto the back of here once this is plugged in.
So it's gonna be a little bit difficult to see, but this is going to go in between that
harness, which is right above your gas pedal.
So if you follow your gas pedal all the way up, you will find that harness.
All you have to do is depress the clip and put this in between it.
So let's go ahead and head under our dash.
So with a small flat head screwdriver, what we're going to do is pop this red tab here
out towards us.
So I'm just going to wiggle this in the top, kind of pry this forward.
And once we have that fully out, what we can do is wiggle that off.
So we can grab our sprint booster, making sure that the female side is facing down and
the male side is facing up.
So before we go ahead and plug in our power converter into the top of our gas pedal, what
I want to do is drop down our connector that will be attached to our controller so that
we can plug it in so we don't have to plug it in after everything is connected.
So this is gonna go to the back of our power converter and I am just feeding this down
next to our steering wheel here.
And this should come out the backside.
So now that we pass the wire through, what we can do is pull this down, make sure that
it's going above this metal brace underneath our dash here so we can plug it in the backside
of our power converter.
Once that clicks into place, then we can connect this to our gas pedal, that should click into
place.
And then after that is clicked into place we can clean up our wiring and mount up our
switch.
So after we have this plugged in, what we can do is mount up our switch or our controller
here.
You will get a double-sided piece of 3M tape.
And then you can mount this up wherever you like wherever is most accessible to you.
I'm just gonna mount it up right here next to our light control.
Just press down on that for a minute.
And we can tuck the wires.
Now these are up and out of the way, however, you do get a zip tie if you need to clean
them up any further and then that's all set to go.
So that's gonna wrap it up for my review and install.
