Hi guys,
I have had one fitted to my JK CRD for about 3 months now and can honestly say they are a fantastic bit of gear!
It has not increased our fuel consumption over the the 6 or 7 tanks we've gone through and the difference in performance is fantastic!
Some of its advantages include: easier hill starts in a manual as you get the throttle response you expect instantly without having to put your foot right down resulting in a heap of revs all of a sudden when the throttle finally responds making you look like a learner driver
, or simply the instant response when wanting to quickly change lanes etc! Jeep owners with an Auto will also notice a huge difference in the way the car picks up taking away the sluggish feel quite often found in an automatics.
We have just come back from Camp Coffs (fantastic event - well done Jeep Action) and the difference it made in the steep hilly terrain was great. What I found was it enabled me to crawl nice and slow but when the CRD bogged down due to it getting steeper or I needed instant boost and response I could get it instantly therefore not stalling or getting stuck.
Prior to fitting the Sprint Booster I tried driving the JK round with a heavy foot (fun
) for a full tank and instead of the 10.5 Ltrs per 100Km I currently get I only managed 13.3 Ltrs per 100. With the Sprint Booster fitted you get the same acceleration performance without mashing the peddle constantly, yet I still continuallly get the 10.5 Ltrs per 100Km!
I have provided one to Michael Bowen at Jeep Action who will be doing a review on them very shortly and Bill from Double Black Offroad also has one for testing.
Sprintbooster?
