Does VSC sport do anything for those of us tuned?
 

As the title asks?

Allows more slip before interfering. I also think it let's you put more power down when the wheels are spinning, but I haven't driven in VSC Sport in a while due to wet weather.

You're tuning the ECU, not the traction control brain (ABS, EBFD, Etc.). Unless you're running Visconti's traction control.

I'm on Viscontis tune. So what do you think?

Are you on his latest tune? I'd go back into the thread and see which tune revision has the traction controltuned. he has a description of what the altered traction control does as well, doesn't he?

It's all in the support console http://viscontiflash.zendesk.com/home
Under announcements there's release notes and how to decode your filename for the tune you have..

Yes - VSC Sport gets in the way....thats what it does!

:word:

Yes I'm on latest tune. So VSC is just a worthless button now?

I don't think so, in the context of your question.
If I understand the release notes (did you read them?) the first map is just the tune. The other two are the RR traction control features.

That said, map one leaves the stock traction control features untouched.

I should add the release notes and RR feature mapping are different between the automatic and the manual.
My last post was based off of me having an automatic

Digging up this thread... Can anyone confirm that without a tune, the "VSC Sport" mode does not affect the engine response/mapping in any way?

I also understand that with a tune, like Visconti's mentioned here, you can get a different engine map based on the TC/VSC mode engaged. Is that correct too?

I will confirm that TC/VSC will impact engine response in a untuned vehicle. Anyone who has driven this car in deep snow would have experienced this. With Visconti's (Ecutek) custom ROMs map switching is normally done through the cruise control stick and changing to 1-4 different maps. Ecutek has created custom TC maps that can be attached to one or more maps but these are only active when stock TC/VSC is disabled and the appropriate custom map is selected. Ecutek maps can contain several different features within one map and users are able to turn features on/off by switching maps.

Tuned or not, pressing the VSC sport button doesn't change the engine response or which map the tune is running off. To run RaceRom traction control you have to disable (press and hold the TC button for a few seconds) the factory systems first.

Are you claiming that the sport button (or disabling TC/VSC entirely) changes the engine response?

Yes, I guess so. With everything turned on and in deep snow I have seen the ECU hold rpm to 2k even at full throttle. I'm not certain if this is all done through applying braking to the individual wheels I am assuming more is going on in the ECU. I'm not saying sport mode enhances engine response just restricts it less. Or perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about..
