Who can explain the "Power ETC" button to me?

So its been done before.. never heard of this product. But it proves it can be done and it proves @gottaToy is a fool.

I'm gonna look into this product a bit more, looks interesting.

 

There was no proof of any horsepower gains. So no real proof they actually DID access the ECU. It was simply a gimmick that turned out to be nothing more than a really high priced scanguage

 

If they blew a motor in the process, that tells me the accessed the ECU and gave it a bad setting...

You still don't get it.. After you hack the ECU, you need to tune the motor.. (2) different steps / processes.

 

You dumb.

I'm sure the tune's weren't horrible but its pretty common knowledge that tunes are very vehicle specific and not universal

 

Here, you can also argue this while at it:

that wasn't right, did you hack my computer? ya know, it so easy

You make no sense? Are you saying that each individual vehicle has to have its' own special tune and all these companies that sell tunes(for anything but a tacoma) are ripping people off because they are generic? unless they have done other work to the motor(like swapping other performance parts), they all have the same parts and should run close to the same tune

 

It blew the motor because they were running it as a piggy-back and were trying to trick the sensor readings, which probably screwed up the A/F ratio among other things. Not accessing the ECU and actually changing the tune

 

Pretty much, yeah.

Untrue.

Source? Or are you speculating? Probably should go back and read the brilliant post by yourself that stressed the importance of researching before posting.

 

@StAndrew You have been a member for almost 6 years. How many threads are there in here where someone has successfully done a custom tune?
I might be dumb, but I'm pretty sure that will be a very low number, if you can even find anything beside the bully dog. If a person was capable of doing it, they sure wouldn't be working at bully dog. If you read through the 34 or so pages, the general consensus was the bully dog did NOT do a damn thing and many agreed they were running piggy back, much like superchips and other plug-ins. Plug ins do nothing other than screw up sensor reading to trick the ECU into changing the A/F mixture

 

I find it funny some guy that doesn't even own a Tacoma has a buddy that is going to hack his ecu and do a tune. One company claimed they could and it proved to do NOTHING.
Why do others not try? Because it is a crap motor already maxed out on what it is capable of. Even the weak supercharger requires, new larger injectors, fuel pump, and a crappy Toyota tune that cannot be custonimzed or reversed. So to tell people his buddy can do something that hasn't been done in 10 years is halarious

 

@gottaToy

Where did you learn to read? You need an attitude adjustment, maybe we should hack into your brain and adjust the Air / blood ratio before we work on the Tacoma.

 

Or you could just admit it was stupid to claim your buddy can do miracles and "tune" your tacoma you don't even own yet. if it was practical, somebody would have done it by now, do you not understand that?

 

So this ECT button changes the timing? Cool third gen thread.

 

I claimed he can hack Denso ECU's, that's it. Hire an english teacher to help you read back through the thread, or better yet do us all a favor and turn off your computer. Just because its called 'America Online' doesn't mean your invited.

 

You claim he MOST LIKELY can hack your ECU and program it. You seemed so proud of that statement, own it or shut up. When he locks up your ECU, be sure and start thread on how much this experiment costs you.

 

Whats your definition of the word 'Likely'? It sounds like your reading that wrong.. que the English teacher.

Here are some synonyms to help you understand what is being said.

Well, you sure are arguing the fact it can be done a lot and seem so confident in your friends' abilities. Did you not notice the smartass remarks when you mentioned a friend could look at possibly "tune" your ecu? Have you not noticed the lack of tuners, chips, programmers, and crap for the Tacoma? You are just spewing shit and you are fun to irritate. If your friend is smart, they'll not even waste their time with the thought.
Hey, I got a performance mod i'll sell you that is guaranteed to make an extra 10% horsepower and increase you mpg's. Don't be so full of shit, you'll be carrying a lot less weight and the truck will perform better.

 

Bully Dog hacked the Toyota ECU. Beat around the bush as much as you want. You're wrong.


Now where's my internet cookie?
