JB4 and Driving Modes

YYZF22N55 · 03-23-2015, 05:44 AM

Hey guys

Did a search and couldn't find anything on this but those that have a JB4 if you could shed some light on this that would be most helpful.

Does Comfort Mode and Sport Mode still work say if you're on Map1 or Map2?

Yes still works

The big Question i still cant figure out that anoys me the most even though i absoultely love my car..... why the heck would they put the throttle into comfort mode when you turn dsc totally off

Because its easier to modulate the throttle when its less sensitive. You're less likely to overpower when it takes more force to depress the gas pedal.

I understand the saftey view behind designing it that way but i feel like there is something else going on with it because even if i mash the throttle harder theres a distinct change in the noise the engine is making especialy on downshifts i.e. the pops and gurgles that you get in sport + go away

Comfort and Sport + make the same power, the difference is purely sound. Without MPE I don't notice a difference, activesound is the same for me with DCS off and in Sport +.

I thought sport mode pushed more Psi?

Just more throttle response then?

Do you guys keep in comfort mode or sport mode with your JB4 on?

Sport mode changes throttle response and steering sensitivity.

I drive in comfort 95% of the time, the car rides better and has just as much power. I find it easier to take off and rev match the manual in comfort, but that's just personal preference.

Jb4 added thrust comes on much quicker in sport/sport+ which can be a hoot when honing about but can be a pain in the a$$ when at 10/10's at the track.

With DTC is off [no nannying intervention from the cars electronics] when changing direction quickly, I've found the linear response in comfort mode works best to control the car's balance round the bends.

Thanks for the response guys

I enjoy comfort modes throttle response as well. I find the throttle in sport mode to be a bit much esp when just city driving.
