00:07 Hi guys and welcome to DriveSpark.
00:09 I'm Prameet and today is the third series,
00:12 which is this video of the Jimny.
00:15 And in today's video, we are gonna install a wind booster.
00:19 Yes, and if you ask what is a wind booster,
00:23 so basically this thing helps reduce the throttle lag
00:27 and this thing is, I mean, I have used this before on other cars,
00:34 but I'm using it on the Jimny for the very first time.
00:37 And let us see what is the difference.
00:39 So let's quickly start this video.
00:41 And in this video, we will be telling you how to install this in your car.
00:45 [Music]
00:50 So, this is the wind booster and let me tell you the price of this.
00:55 So this thing comes at a price of Rs. 17,000,
00:58 retails at Rs. 17,000.
01:00 And this comes with a two-year warranty.
01:04 So, and it comes with practically every car.
01:07 I mean, this is, you see over here, it is written for Jimny.
01:11 The ink has slightly gone off.
01:13 So, I mean, there are dealers all around India.
01:17 So you can get in touch with any of them and you can order yours.
01:21 You can tell them what car you have or if you know what to order,
01:24 you can order for yourself.
01:25 So let's quickly unbox this and see what you get in this box.
01:29 So, very simple process.
01:32 So this is your device.
01:34 This thing that you see is your wind booster GT.
01:39 You can just see it over here.
01:40 There is a double-sided tape on the back to stick it.
01:44 And you have a cable, two buttons M and S.
01:49 And along with that, you have a screen in the middle.
01:53 So you get this and along with that.
01:57 Okay, so this is your wiring.
02:02 So yeah, this is how the wiring will come.
02:04 And if you see over here, you have your wind booster branding.
02:09 It's Bluetooth written and a lot of other things.
02:12 This is your coupler.
02:13 So, how to open this is basically you can see you have a,
02:19 so you have to press this from behind.
02:21 This slot will come out and once this is out,
02:24 you just slowly try to pull it out like this.
02:29 Because what will happen is that if you apply a lot of pressure,
02:34 what might happen is that these wires are really thin
02:37 and they are connected to this device.
02:39 So they might, I mean, if you just yank it out,
02:43 I think they will get affected.
02:47 So, this is how the coupler looks like, the male and the female.
02:53 So this thing is already there in your car.
02:58 So you remove this and then you put this in that place
03:01 and this to your original, whatever.
03:03 We will show it to you in the video.
03:04 And at the end, you have a connector which goes in this.
03:10 And this is your complete system.
03:14 So then from this, you can select your modes.
03:16 And what else do we get?
03:19 So we get a manual and then we get two zip ties
03:27 so that you can arrange this in place.
03:30 Okay, so let me read a little bit about this.
03:34 Okay, so this is how you install.
03:38 Already told you, yeah.
03:40 So here are some modes.
03:42 Okay, so you have Eco mode, you have Anti-slip, you have Valet,
03:47 you have High Auto, Normal, Sport mode, Sport Plus, Race and then Drag.
03:53 So Eco being the least active and Drag mode being the complete hooligan.
04:00 It says over here in the Drag mode, it is powerful enough for traction.
04:05 That means that it will, I mean, the car will lose traction.
04:11 If you floor it and I don't think anything else.
04:14 So this is what you get with your wind booster.
04:20 Okay guys, so installing the wind booster.
04:26 Sorry, very tight fit over here.
04:30 So as you can see, this is the throttle.
04:32 And if you follow this, you will see that this is the throttle.
04:36 There is a connector.
04:38 So this is the same connector.
04:42 So how you will unhook it, so it is like this.
04:45 So what you do is you will just have to press this button.
04:48 And when you see, when you press this, this thing pops out.
04:51 So it will be on this side, on this side.
04:55 So you press it with your thumb and then you pull it up.
04:59 So when you pull it up, you can see this is your...
05:06 And in the wind booster, there is one like this.
05:09 So very simply you will have to replace, you remove this.
05:14 Put the wind booster's throttle controller like that.
05:21 So that's good.
05:25 And then you'll hear a click.
05:27 After you've heard a click, it has been very securely.
05:32 This is the female one.
05:34 So this will go in your...
05:37 The one that came out from throttle.
05:40 So this is how it will go in.
05:42 And then you'll hear a click over here as well.
05:46 And then you have two zip ties, so you can either tie it over here behind to this.
05:52 Then you have this wire.
05:55 And this wire comes over here.
05:58 And just attaches with this.
06:04 Like this.
06:06 So there you go.
06:11 And once this is attached, let me quickly start the car.
06:15 So once the car starts, you can see that you have a display.
06:26 Okay, so it is showing drag.
06:28 Oh, that's a little dirty.
06:30 So there's a film on top, you can remove it.
06:32 But these are your modes.
06:33 You have drag, I-Auto, Valet, Anti-Slip, Eco.
06:38 And this is for your settings.
06:40 So you can see a 9 over here.
06:41 So if it is on 9, the Eco mode is maximum.
06:44 So if you want it minimum, you would 0 to 9.
06:47 So you have 9 settings.
06:49 This is a mid setting.
06:51 Normal mode, this is when your car came stock without the wind booster.
06:55 This is your Sport, again with 9 settings.
06:58 Sport Plus with 9 settings.
07:00 Race with 9 settings.
07:01 Then you have drag.
07:02 And this does not have a setting because this is the maximum that the car can do.
07:07 So these are your modes and that is how you install the Wind Booster GT.
07:11 So now since we have installed the Wind Booster,
07:17 let me tell you that there is a vast difference in the car, the way it drives now.
07:23 So we tried out, so there are a couple of settings.
07:27 So in Eco mode, like you have 9 settings in Eco mode.
07:31 0 being the least active and 9 being the most fuel economy.
07:36 So your throttle response just completely dies.
07:39 I mean the car will literally have to press half the throttle to get it to move.
07:44 And then you have your normal mode.
07:46 So your normal mode is basically your stock mode that your car comes with.
07:49 And drag mode is just ultimate.
07:52 I mean in drag mode, you just have to give like 8-10% of the throttle, even less than that.
08:00 And the car just picks up so quickly.
08:03 So I'll tell you very honestly what is happening.
08:06 So this thing is not increasing power of the vehicle,
08:10 but it is sending the signal to the throttle to open the throttle way quicker than it was before.
08:19 Like in the normal mode, if you are giving around 10%, throttle is opening 10%.
08:24 But if in the drag mode, if you're giving 10%, the throttle is opening maybe 35-40%.
08:29 So I mean that is the difference.
08:31 And it opens, so it's basically a quick throttle is what you can say,
08:36 but it definitely changes the way the car drives.
08:39 I mean the car really feels lively, especially with the tune and the air filter.
08:43 It is just, I mean I feel it's not a very fast car, but it is flying.
08:49 When I bought it stock, and now there is a huge, huge difference.
08:54 So, and also I noticed one more thing that after installing the wind booster GT,
08:59 I was cruising at around 80-100, 80-100.
09:02 And what I saw is that the mileage went up and I was getting around 15.1.
09:08 I reset it and then I went for a 100-kilometer drive and I reset,
09:13 after I reset, the mileage, what it was showing is 16.2,
09:17 then it started dropping, dropping and then it came and stopped at 15.1.
09:21 And with the normal mode, I mean normal as in without the wind booster,
09:25 I used to get around 13.8 to 13.5, sometimes around 13.6.
09:30 So yeah, definitely there is an increase in mileage and if you drive carefully with a light foot,
09:35 I think your car will give a lot of fuel efficiency.
09:38 So this also helps in fuel efficiency, plus the throttle lag is completely gone.
09:44 And yeah, so what we'll do in the next video is that we will do a 0-100 test with the Eco mode,
09:51 with this and then a 0-100 test with the Drag mode.
09:54 As you mentioned in the previous video, we already have the timing figures of the normal,
09:58 like without the wind booster, we have the 0-100 timing.
10:01 So we'll see if in the Drag mode, this thing can get the time even down,
10:07 maybe even by like say, I don't know, little bit also, but if it does, this thing is definitely,
10:15 I mean, I think it is worth it, little expensive, but yeah, it will completely change the way your car is driving.
10:22 So yeah guys, for this video, this is it.
10:25 I'm Pramit signing out, see you next time.
10:27 Thank you so much for watching, take care, be safe and drive safe.
