Has anyone used Sportive+ in D-mode yet? Curious to see how good or bad it was.

I wanna try & mess with the shift points in normal/comfort mode someday. Even in stage 4 3 it could used some later shifts and maybe even delete that 8th gear. Except when going over 55 60 mph, perhaps…

But right now, even without touching a thang, this was one of the best upgrades I should have done a long time ago. Dyno ? might ? even as is, compared to stock.

Here is my contribution to the thread. Also props to @Xproplayer for posting his D-mode settings as a baseline.

I’ve been running xHP mostly D-mode to improve normal driving while cruising around. My car doesn’t like shifting at low RPMs.

Glad others are enjoying it. I'm dialing in my settings again for my 2nd supra, I have notepad in the car and I'm doing 5% adjustments based on how the car drives in ACC or me driving the pedal. How'd you calculate those RPMs, I should consider doing that, but it seems like the car also shifts based on load too?

The RPMs are based on gradual pedal input while accelerating, like when cruising around. The deeper you get into the pedal the higher the shift points.

Also, for Sport Mode the start in 2nd gear and downshifts disabled makes the car much smoother when launching. I don’t miss 1st gear at all.

I tried to disable 1st gear on the last car but I found the car would get confused, it'd display no gear, then it'd try to shift to an invisible 1st gear, have you had any symptoms like that? I don't recall it working between modes either, but xhp has been adding features quite often. Maybe I just did the permanent lock 2nd gear which is more aggressive.

No problems in stop and go traffic or brake boosted digs. I turned on the display gear option and it always starts in 2nd.

"Should you be primarily using your shift paddles and drive around in “Manual” mode, then please leave the “Permanently Lock 2nd Gear” option unchecked."

So... you shouldn't be using 2nd gear start with manual mode? I don't have xhp but is Permanently Lock 2nd Gear the same as Take off in 2nd gear or a subset option of Take off in 2nd gear?

Would you guys say an xHP tune is worth for just daily driving and no track use? I have a non-tuned Supra/stock trans. Just downpipe and an intake.

No doubt. I don't do track driving either and XHP is one of those mods that I think was worh it the most. The car is now drivible in the auto normal mode, and the sport mode is alot better. I'm running the stage 2 OTS.

There are still somewhat of a clunkyness in the gearbox (2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 2nd) in some scenarios but I'm pretty sure you can remove that if you fiddle with the settings in the XHP app. And yes I'm sensitive since I've been driving too many CVT vehicles. ?

Did you have to fiddle with the settings a bit when you got it installed? Or was Stage 2 comfortable for ya just the way it was? Just curious, as I’ll spend a LOT of time messing with settings like these to get it absolutely perfect as possible.

And I drive in Sport mode 100% of the time, mostly automatic but just now have been using the paddles occasionally.

Both my supras were just catback exhausts, not even an intake. XHP makes the shifts better from a performance standpoint / intensity (which I prefer, I don't like lazy shifts), adjust shift points for D mode, standstill decoupling, and being able to dial in other shift configurations like ignition cut. If you aren't a deep dive nerd, just flashing stage 2 you'll likely enjoy the trans a bit more, but it can add some harshness. I recommend XHP to everyone in our local chapter, and everyone who's done it loves it.

I'd say 25-50% of people who use xhp would be fine with OTS, but I think it's more common to tweak a few settings.

If you drive in sport automatic a lot, you might have a stronger need to fine tune the settings like the torque reduction upshifts, throttle blips, and shift speeds. If you check this thread myself and others have posted their settings. I'm on my second supra and I'm "redoing" my settings from scratch, one thing i hate is that the car will sit at 45mph 3k rpms in sport auto a lot, so I make my sport shift points LESS sporty, because personally when I drive hard I do it in manual anyways.

I haven’t really seen the need to modify it, not yet at least. But i usually shift manually most of the time, so to modify the auto behavior isn’t so important for me.

Sport mode is definitely faster with XHP but it’s pretty aggressive and I rarely use it since shifting manually is just way more fun.

I think you should start with stage 2 and go from there. There’s settings that you can copy from other users if you wanna finetune it.
