Boosterplug - tsmetjen_imp - 05-10-2020

Hi, i can use some technical help on installng the boosterplug I recently received.
On 3rd picture the red circle was pointed out as the AIr Intake sensor by someone from customer service from boosterplug.com. However I only can find a 2 wire connector (blue circle), but the connectors are not compatible with the boosterplug. The response from boosterplug was that Honda never uses or has used the type of connector for the AI sensor and sincce then no more e-mail assistance from them.

So if someone can point to me with a picture the Air Intake sensor on a Z018 onwards Honda CB1100RS or even on an older model, that would be great. The AI sensor is part 31 on the Honda drawing.

I just want to test it a couple of weeks before deciding if I keep it or not...and the 10 min install as stated on the instructions are already 10b for me [Image: e268638ad6c57e5cc0cb526cbaf05c96.png]

Thx![Image: f24b35dff385c8bd87aa565e976e4e96.jpg][Image: b65e7ea57b0234278f7c9e18131d5abd.jpeg][Image: 42e790cf034144b777f8d1a7e3dd52c3.jpg][Image: 05a47a55010774baaff4ef480f5cca5b.png]

To me it sounds that the only thing that plug will do is booster their profit.


RE: Boosterplug - max - 05-10-2020

Tsmetjen they are pointing at the right place with the red circle and none of the connectors you show on the picture will fit.

The one in your hand looks to be the connector in the blue circle which is the sidestand switch, which is easy
to find once you follow the cable down to where the sidestand switch is mounted.
And the connector in the green circle is the fuel tank connector with three wires.


The intake air temperature sensor is the white ( unplugged ) part with the two mounting screws and is located here;



And when connected up looks like this;



At 20 degrees celsius it has a resistance of 2.2 kilo ohm and when warmed to 28 degrees the resistance decreases to 2 kilo ohm.

The cable for this sensor is quite short and a bit difficult to unplug, the connector needs to be pushed forward, then pressed to lift the clip over the little ramp that holds the connector in place and then pulled back.

What is the reason you want to install the booster plug?

Maybe, but that’s not the issue....and not much of a help [Image: 2b0294bc38ab8adcdc195fb3fc913abd.png]

Thx....i will check it ,

The reason I want to try is is because their marketing got me [Image: 7b8b38e7bf392ec3010f84b988ec9f2c.png], and I wanted to to something in the corona lockdown

Seriously, i don’t have a clue if it will change something or not, I just want to find out.

Although it is less than ideal, it is also only half the cost of a new power commander.

So with that being said- adding more fuel regardless of method will be beneficial.

Have fun!

Do you guys care enough about your $5k+ bike to argue over a couple hundred?

That last link is stretchy in their description.

Like something bell said - “If you have a $10 head, wear a $10 helmet”

The Dynojet power commander is 110% safe unless you choose to f around with the maps and have no idea what you are changing.

It is also 1,000 more capable.

For not that much more in comparison to the cost of the bike.

Hi, glad someone bought them for the CB1100 before I did to see if they work. I did buy the Booster Plug for my 2018 Z900RS because I installed Akrapovic Header Pipes, Akrapovic Exhaust and a K&N Air Filter. I read their brochure and it seems to make logical sense. My Kawasaki is way faster with all I put on thus far, but burps every once in awhile. My next Corona Project, this week is to install the Booster Plug to see if it evens out my fuel consumption and eliminates the occasional backfire from too much fuel.
I will repost after I install and test ride.

Hi, I posted above I bought the Booster Plug for my Z900RS because I think it needs it, and possibly my 2013 CB1100 because it has a K&N Air Filter and Yoshimura Exhaust. Anytime you use more air, you need more fuel, and the Booster Plug claims to map out the fuel to the ambient air temperature/ air consumption. It should work. I see no reason for installing on it my 2017 CB1100EX since I am keeping those beautiful, stock header pipes all chrome with no bluing, etc....

And this is an example of where things get dangerous- you installed 3 things that increase airflow - and now think you are running rich?

Backfire can happen from running too lean, not just rich.

If you *think* you are rich, but are already lean- don’t ‘jet’ the other way, else bow down and pray- you’ve got a holy piston.

RE: Boosterplug - alprider - 05-11-2020

I think our cb works more something on the technical heat limit .. I would never want to intervene in the engine control .. if I do not know all the technical contex/ correlation exactly
and
i don't live on the racetrack where it matters every second...and i have no budget to buy short a new engine after a race...

but everyone has to know for themselves

Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Hi, thanks for the reply. The Booster plug claims to only adjust fuel by the actual (ambient) air temperature, providing a richer mixture at low RPM's, and accelerating, and a leaner mixture at idle or at a steady speed. In theory, it should work great if it can do what it claims, and adjusting fuel continuously it better than doing it by increments the way the Power Commander works.
