DSC Sport

We had a huge breakthrough in development for the 991/981 platform this past week! Check out the video below of Mike lapping the now DSC-equipped GT4 at VIR! He runs a 2:08.31 with fully inflated stock tires. We expect to have units ready for sale by the end of October, as Mike finishes the final tweaks to the software in the mean time.

Interesting! How hard is the install for DYIers?

Hey Tom, you know I want one for the GTS!

depends, it was ridiculously easy for the 997.2 ... literally you unplug the PASM control module in the footwell of the passenger side and connect the
DSC in its place, on the 7.1 cars you needed to install and additional accelerometer, which was a little trickier, but TPC's instructions were
comprehensive...

dont know how hard it will be for the 991/981, depends upon the location
and accessibility of the PASM controller and also the OEM accelerometers

The install time is going to fall somewhere between that of a .2 and .1. It will be great for a DIY project, as it will requiring no splicing of wires, etc. as does the .1. Installing DSC for a 991 will most likely require removing and then replacing some carpeting - In a model with all the carpeting, seats, and the addition of a roll bar (most difficult install scenario) you're looking at about 1-1.5 hours. 981 will be a little easier and will most likely take as little as 15 minutes. We'll post some photos and instructions as we near the release of the new controller.

While its winter in the mid Atlantic/Northeast limiting track testing are there any updates on the DSC Sport for the GT4? Are these in stock and or what is the lead time? Also install instructions for 981/gT4? Thanks!

I don't know what's out there for GT4 reviews specifically, but the following threads have some reviews on the DSC for the 981/991 chassis.

Thanks for the links! In fact I had read all of them recently. I was just looking for some GT4 specific feedback recognizing that it was still early in the game. The 997 posters must be engineers based on their personal in-depth computer analysis, very impressive. The DSC module looks like a winner to me and a lot of bang for the buck. Im going to try and not get carried away with mods on this car other than an aggressive alignment including rear toe links, adj, thrust bearings, lock out plates and an after market LSD. Based on the feedback on the other forums, your DSC corner balance module clearly enhances the dual purpose potential (daily driver in my case with 8-10 DEs yr.). Well done! Will program updates be available at no cost for existing units as further testing optimizes the performance? I would assume that the unit itself would have to be returned for the update download. Again thanks!

DSC Sport

No charge for software/firmware updates! If there's a software update, that can easily be done using the tuning software; no need to send the unit in. As of now, firmware updates require the units to be sent in, but we're working on a way to allow these updates to be made remotely. We also don't expect there to be any firmware updates for the 991/981 units any time soon.

Thanks for the reply! Do you have them in stock, if not what is your lead time?

DSC Sport

Yes, and we can do same-day shipping for all orders placed by noontime EST (we'll do our best to get it out same-day if placed after; just no guarantees).

Would be nice if there was an outline of what specifically this does for the gt4. At this point it seems like you tested it but no idea what the gains actually were. None of the promised info were presented along with the fact that the website makes it seems like a very generic device. Does it have specific gt4 settings?

Bhk1004 - read the links referenced in post #5 to better understand the benefits and how this works. Do a search for references as well. No hard data offered up, I.e. back to back lap times but plenty of qualified subjective responses including pro driver feed back.

I was going to get the JRZ set up and then I saw this. Can someone educate me on the best option?

Thanks.
