V3.1.7 Changes for 2017 Hatch Sport Touring CVT

[jrettew]

I notice that the torque settings in the +6 High Octane calibration (RACE and CARB) have been decreased vs V3.1.6. That version had 250 PSI across entire RPM range. The new version has decreasing values beginning at 5000 RPM, descending from to 240 down to 200 between 5000 and 7000 RPM. Have you determined that the CVT is even more fragile than you originally thought?

I had read (I think) in an earlier post, that the next update (this one) would include a LESS conservative calibration for the CVT. Has that idea been discarded?

Thanks.

The reductions in torque are to make shifting smoother.

We have never said that we were making more aggressive CVT calibrations.

OK. Thanks. I didn't realize smooth shifting was a concern with a CVT. So if I bump it back up to 250 I'd be OK as far as protecting the CVT?
