Anyone here use it for their 2012 TL SH-AWD? If so, can you please let me know the part number? I'm thinking it's WR-656-112-104 but wanted to make sure since they don't actually list our cars in their applications list. Thanks.

This is the first I've heard of this, it sounds like it's a signal booster like the "Sprint Booster". A few people on here have the sprint booster and it has mixed reviews. I don't think anyone is using this one.

dyrtyred had one in his 2012 TL but hasn't posted here since last year. I've PM'd him to see if he can let me know the part number. The Weapon-R one can be bought for like $140 while the Sprint Booster is $300 and both do the same thing.

Well I'd say I heard more positive things on here about the people that installed the sprint booster than negative, the biggest complaint was typically the price.

If you need a part number why don't you just email Weapon R?

I e-mailed Weapon-R and they said they don't make one for our car

Word of advise, don't jerryrig a device that controls your throttle if the manufacturers says it doesn't fit your car. That other member that installed one probably hasn't posted because he's dead.

^^^^^

Did the car, after installed with the throttle device, kill him ?

So I ended up getting the Sprint Booster instead from Excelerate Performance and that thing was worth every cent! The difference is night and day. The sport mode is great but man the race mode is just crazy. I love it!

A very smart move on your part I think. I hate that the TL has all that throttle lag. With the Sprint Booster do you find the car is too touchy in stop and go traffic?

KarKraze

, my feelings exactly. Happy to hear you are loving the results.

Gonna have to pull the trigger soon. Would you recommend it before tuning? @karkraze or no difference?

KarKraze

If you are going to purchase the K Tuner then no need to buy the SB. The K Tuner allows for DBW tuning which has the same effect as the SB.

I had the SB before the K Tuner came out so I opted out of that feature and kept the SB, the one advantage it does offer is the ability to switch on or off the throttle sensitivity in the event of adverse weather conditions. For me personally, I have not found it to be overly sensitive but some people do.

I have no personal experience with this, but when I asked my tuner to remove the throttle lag via KTuner, he told me that in his experience with honda cars, it tended to mess with the stability control, and it should not be done. Just putting the info out there FWIW.

Without throwing anyone under the bus you should have your tuner call me to discuss his findings in case there's more to it than what you've said here. What you stated, though, has not been the case in our experience with altering DBW settings.

carbonTSEX

Already have the ktuner. Been sitting for the last 4 months in the box. Been waiting to install my precat deletes which go in Tuesday. Then tune. Was just curious but thanks for the info Karkraze.

KarKraze

Ahha, yes I remember seeing your post now that you mention it. Kenny @ TurboGixxer tuned my car and he mentioned the DBW tuning to me, he also mentioned that he does not foresee any conflicts from running the SB in tandem with the K Tuner.

I have had the SB for a year now and absolutely love it, switch the thing off and the car feels so sluggish. As James (K Tuner) confirmed and Kenny being willing to do the DBW tuning, you should be equally happy with the results.

Who have you decided to tune with? And are you Etuning or Dyno

CruzanTLSH-AWD

I remember you was saying you did the Etuning process.... How long did this take?

KarKraze

The process is time consuming. I had 28 revisions to the base map and will have a few more this Summer when I bring the car out.

It depends on how often you do a log and send it to the tuner and how quickly he will return an update to you. If I had access to a local tuner I would have opted to do a dyno tune, everything can be tweaked on the fly. Also, I felt comfortable letting Kenny work on the car seeing he is familiar with the K Tuner and our platform.

carbonTSEX

Planning to dyno tune. Easier and I wanna see some numbers. I have a few options for tuners here just depends on how far I want to travel. The further the more experienced.

dyrtyred

Nope, Im still alive. Thanks for the concern. lol

mada51589

I was genuinely concerned.... for your car!!! So, can you tell us what weapon-r I-Throttle kit that you used?

Or does anyone else know???
