Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

I think I got it.

 

Thanks for the help Scoob. How long did it take for OVTune to return your tune after you sent your flash info?

 

I sent it off around 5pm central tonight and haven't gotten anything back yet which I think is completely reasonable and to be expected. Man's gotta get a weekend, too.

 

I hear ya.

 

What's the deal with the blue transmission flash? Is that necessary for 1.02?

 

yep

 

Sent mine off at 3:30 CT yesterday, but he did say he would be working on tunes throughout the weekend so hopefully today is the day for some of us

 

Manual tranny hear. What area are you looking to dyno test one?

 

Matt told me he had many tunes to process last night, that he'd be sending them out this morning.

 

He's in San Diego

 

Well so am I. If you're still looking for a manual to test on, I might be your guy.

A couple questions though. During initial tuning, is there any potential to go into unsafe lean conditions? Or would the knock sensors retard timing enough to prevent any problems? I'm interested but a little worried about the initial dyno runs. Would I be able to monitor wideband data during dyno time? And what dyno would it be at?

 

I'm hoping you're our guy, too... we really need a MT truck on the dyno for all our benefits. make it happen!

 

I'm sure he would be starting out with the 1.02 Map that everyone is current using, so it would be completely safe. He would then start making small changes I imagine.

 

You don't need to be worried about the initial dyno runs... Let me put it into perspective for you; You can get a good look at a tune by sticking your head up a Tacoma's a s s, but I'd rather take OVTunes' word for it... Haha, A for effort

 

Current map version is 1.01B, fyi. OP mentioned sending out 1.02 after finishing the dyno work he also mentioned

 

For those having trouble opening PCM Flash you have to extract the file first as it is .Zip folder. My Windows 10 laptop did not come with an extractor, for it to work you would have to download a .Zip file extractor.

Google "WinZip"
Download and install WinZip. Once complete you can extract PCM Flash.

 

I got PCMFlash to work. The first 3-4 copies I downloaded were corrupt and did nothing after I unzipped. Fifth time was a charm.

 

Anybody receive their tune this morning?

 

He sent out 1.02 in this last batch. I think that's what previous poster was referring to.

 

Nothing yet. I sent mine yesterday evening around 5pm Central. I honestly would be perfectly fine waiting for 1.02.
