Sprint Booster puts an end to your Civic's poor performance once and for all.
This isn't just something that you feel when you get to top end speed. You feel the difference in your daily driving... and it makes driving fun again.

What is Sprint Booster?

Since 2000, HONDA has replaced responsive cable throttle systems with the cheaper electronic versions. Unfortunately, they've robbed your Civic of its performance.Sprint Booster not only corrects this problem, it actually improves your throttle response. It unlocks your Civic's potential, creating a smoother, more powerful ride.

What happens in your Civic when you hit the gas?
Usually, you get a full second of delay before you start moving. Sprint Booster eliminates this... you get a quicker acceleration from a stop.
After you install Sprint Booster, you feel a huge difference the first time you hit the gas.

Sprint Booster gives you:
Quicker acceleration
Faster passing
Responsive uphill driving
Quicker gear changes
Easier rev matching

hope that helps you :)

dont get a sprint booster as sprint booster has only one mode so it only on the quick mode sort of speak. if your interested to make your cars acceleration a bit better look into throttle controller or some companies call them e-throttle

talk to shift performance (trader here) for their shadow e-throttle or jdmconcept.com.au ( trader here ) for pivot ones

ive used pivot ones and shadow ones, both roughly the same but if you want quality and no hassle on install, go for pivot they cost more but worth the money

sprint boosters are lame, it's just amplifying the accelerator signal... so you don't have to push your foot so far in.. cos that's oh so hard

thanks for the replies

so an e-throttle would be better then the sprint booster?

[xenonkuraz]

Yes I prefer the e-throttle

Which one are you talking about? Is it easy to install and can it be installed on AT civic?

Hi guys,
I found some further info in the JDM ebay posting for this product:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/PIVOT-3-D-THROTTLE-CONTROLLER-THC-CL9-CU2-CIVIC-FD1-FD2-/300561494674?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item45fadc7292

It seems quite logical to give this a go if it really saves that much on fuel consumption on the ECO mode...
Hope it helps and let us know how you go.

I bought the pivot 3drive pretty much when it was released. I got it for around $450 at the time. Now its pretty much half price. I have mine on SP7 from day 1. You will never go back once you have tried it.

How hard is it to install a pivot throttle controller? is it the same as an e-throttle that was mention earlier? I have an FD1 :)

[Shimian]

i did this like 3 years ago. from memory it was all plug and play. Everything is done around the pedal/brake area

[mikeyy]

thanks Shimian, from all the videos i see on youtube for installations they're all automatic transmissions', are they suitable only for autos?

[Shimian]

ive only seen it for auto only
