fullah Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I'm not really understanding the hostility in this thread.. He posted something he tried and says works-why can't we discuss the topic without all the hostility? If you're saying it doesn't work then great, post your opinion and move on. There are tons of products like this out there for other cars. I agree I might be skeptical on the reliability aspect myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRu17 Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I was thinking about the Sprintbooster until seeing this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Train Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 You're the same guy who posted pics of a wrx spoiler on a legacy trunk and said "you won't even notice it doesn't fit unless you're close" when you can easily see 3 inches of open space on each side. You then proceeded to show what a vortex generator looks like on a legacy, also shit. You have a wrx with the same crap mod. Cool, why dont you post up your vins for both and I can share this info and see if you ever have luck with resale or even warranty work. You'd think a guy who owns a wrx and wanted more oomph would simply get a professional TUNE done properly. You're a sequacious noob, kid. I'm done talking to you.

B-Train Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 I was thinking about the Sprintbooster until seeing this Sprint Booster, Pedal Commander, there are several out there and they all do the same thing. Some of them can adjust the intensity and others are "all or none", meaning it's set at 30% intensity with no fine tuning up or down. I first saw the Pedal Commander at Subiefest, which is how I found this thing in the first place. The seller's been in business for 4 years and said it has a 3 year warranty. I only have 7K miles on my WRX but I'm going straight to stage 3 (Grimmspeed) when I hit 10K. This thing is filling in the gap until then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B-Train Posted December 10, 2017 Author Share Posted December 10, 2017 I didn't even know these things existed for our car. I'm intrigued but also curious how this would affect the transmission long term. Subaru's old SI Drive had a function of this thing. I imagine SOA took it out to save money. All this does is increase the electronic signal from your accelerator pedal to the drive-by-wire to the engine. It'll depend on how you drive your car. If you set this to H39 (the highest setting) and tear around town all day, you'll probably end up in the shop for repairs sooner than later. It won't be the fault of the device, it's the user.

traildogck Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Subaru's old SI Drive had a function of this thing. I imagine SOA took it out to save money. The difference with the SI drive, the ECU was still part of the equation. There are many way to manipulate electronics, and this tool takes a narrow look at one function and modifies it. I am one of those guys that would rather pay $300 for a tune and get some comprehensive data and be able to track or log it. Than a $60 set and forget...especially if I wasn't really sure what I was forgetting.

Pronto Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Interesting product. Don't know why people here are getting so upset over this. Its his car, and he wants to test this thing out.

whitetiger Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 So is this the right thread to talk about the $25 ebay MAF chips? that way you can fool the MAF sensor along with the TPS. Someone should buy one. they'd only be out $25. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, you could have bought a Honda V6 and paid $500 for a K-Tuner to smooth out that jerkey 6 sp. Automatic, and to shut off the VCM... Even then you wouldn't be able to do a thing about 1st. Gear being so 'short'... I decided to sell the dang thing and buy a 3.6 Subie... I'll use my own Foot from here on out thank you... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy has a Pedal Commander in his STi: https://tunerbattlegrounds.com/competitors-list/1143-sal-arriaga-subaru-wrx-sti Does it really hurt anything? probably not. It's just fuzzy math. They give you all of those settings so you can find the one you like. AVO Turboworld made these for years. Probably still do. they were Subi map specific tho. The general feeling was they were not much use. Believe me, the throttle lag s*cks. But you would be better off adjusting it through Romraider ot getting a tuner to do it. I would be somewhat concerned about anything plugged or put in-line. I hate to see what one of those pinwheels in the intake tube do when they implode in the middle of a hard pull.

ammcinnis Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 In all fairness, I don't think B-Train has made any claims about higher performance ... just more choices in throttle pedal response due to the various mapping schemes available. I personally wouldn't do it, though, since the throttle pedal is a safety-related control, and I don't like the idea of inserting any third-party, aftermarket device into a safety system. But that's just me. "If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there." ~ The Cheshire Cat (Alice in Wonderland) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE RZA Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 why are you doing silly mods to a legacy when you also have a 2017 WRX? There are endless modifications for your WRX than you can do to your hearts desire, and they all actually do something and improve every little gripe about that car that Subaru left to be desired. Stop wasting your money and just modify the WRX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That way, when I go for a run, I'll finally be able crack a two minute mile (crosses fingers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
