DSC Sport - Tuning Software Discussion Thread
#152
I've had the DSC on my GT350 for a couple of weeks. In Normal mode in straightline driving there is a lot of vertical movement. eg. crossing an intersection with a modest rise followed by a dip makes the front end rise like it's going to get airborne at 40 mph. Would reducing the sensitivity cause the shocks to react more quickly?
You can do one of the following or combination of the following in the G Force Table:
1. Increase Default Rate to 5.0 or 7.5 or to 10.0
2. Decrease Sensitive by 5 or 10.
3. Decrease G Max Rate by 5 or 10.

Tom, quick sidebar questions:
1. I presume the box I just bought from TunerWorks in Calgary will be the latest sw release?
2. Can I hook my Mac up to make any adjustments or do I need a PC?
Thanks, Doug

Was designed for PC windows 7 and windows 10. Some people have success using conversion software for Mac but I don't know anything about that.

Installed my unit yesterday and honestly it felt disappointing - Normal mode too soft and wobbly, Sport mode too hard.
So spend 4 hours today reading how to tune it and now after 2 iterations it feels gooooood.
Turns out that settings the unit came with from the TPC where "strange" to say at least...
I'll drive more and see whether further fine tuning is required.
But already this feels super natural
Some questions:
1. My old unit was golden colored, the new unit is white with 997.2 marking on it - is it OK? (my car is 2010 Boxster S)
2. Turning ON a Sport Plus mode of the car now forces Sport mode of the PASM - this didn't happen before and I don't like it - can this be fixed?
Thanks!!!

To answer your questions...
1. Yes, 997/987 file is the same
2. It should behave just as it would with the factory controller. If it does not, please record a brief video of the control behavior when the stock unit is connected, followed by one with the DSC controller and clearly indicate which is which.
Thank you,
Jordan

I'll work with Jordan to get more maps posted on the DSC Sport website for personal preferences.

When you press Sport + it will put the suspension into sport mode. You can press the separate PASM button again to keep the more sensitive throttle mapping and less restrictive stability settings, while going back to the normal suspension setting.

I will record the video as Jordan have asked.

Hi Tom - I received my DSC box for my 2011 GTS the other day, installed it and have driven it a little - weather is not conducive to really testing it but I have a question for you. My GTS has the sport suspension (lowered 20 cm from normal ride height). I am wondering if you have a special set of settings for this model. When I ordered the unit I indicated it was a GTS but I did not say it had sport suspension. Any guidance will be appreciated. Cheers

Some drivers like the 5% stiffer while other don't. Its personal preference. I'll work with Jordan next week to get custom maps posted on DSC Sport website. www.dscsport.com
