Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Don't worry, some of us auto trans people are in a similar situation. Just playing the hurry up and wait game.

 

Do you want a perfected and tested version or do you want one that a few people ran on here and wasn’t 100% happy with?

 

I got a busy little weekend ahead

 

Damn, you got the 89 sensor and not the 98? You're likely replacing like for like.

 

No one will ever be happy with anything because everyone drives differently. I would like to have what is already available and then upgrade to new files as they become available.

It is frustrating paying for something and being in the dark on when I might actually receive what I paid for. I am dealing with this same thing with another vendor on skid plates that I ordered over 6 weeks ago.

 

can you pm me your email please or order number. I'll get your file out to you, I do not see anything in my email that old, if I missed you I am sorry.


My intention is not to keep anyone waiting for any absurd or delayed amount of time. I am trying to build a completely stable release for everyone on 1.02C.

I am a little sick today so I won't be able to get you the file until later tonight.

 

PM sent.

 

Yeah, I’m a bit confused about this as well. Could someone shed some light on this?

 

Same here, ordered September 6th knowing dongles we're on backorder, tunes were still being tweaked, etc. so expected some wait time but I'm almost a month in and still driving around on the stock tune. I know the tune still needs tweaking but there's 343 pages here raving about how even the first revision was leaps and bounds better than stock, it would be nice to at least get a piece of that action while we wait for the remaining wrinkles to be ironed out.

 

could you email me your order number or name?

I have quite a few people who sent me their stock files just recently and I am working on getting all of those complete on 1.01/1.02 (B)

for anyone reading if you just sent it thursday / friday it is being worked on

Please, anyone who does not want to wait for 1.02C (auto or manual) please send me a message I will send you 1.01B/1.02B asap

 

Email sent asking for 1.01b and 1.02b.

 

Email sent, appreciate the help!

 

Loaded 1.02B successfully! Took her for a quick spin around the block, it is a huge improvement over stock.

No more RPM jumps when I put it in reverse.

Shifting from gear to gear is much quicker, the "clunk" when coming to a stop while engine is cold is gone.

Overall, the truck felt thousand pounds lighter. Throttle response is instant and crisp, when I give it throttle input, it actually accelerate and go!

It still won't hold 4th gear very long, but I'm sure that will get sorted out with future updates.

Time for bed, will update as I get more seat time in the coming days. Truck is automatic with latest 04B03 ECU version. Completely stock (with stock TRD exhaust).

Thank you OVT for sending out the 1.01b 1.02b tunes. Can't wait to see what 1.02C will bring!

 

Hold 4th? What do you mean? Why would you want to hold that gear anyway?

On your tune for B, there were no shift schedule modifications, so you're going to shift same as stock. You just have engine enhancements to go with that stock shift schedule.

 

As I accelerate, say from 0 to 55 MPH gradually, gears 1 through 3 would shift as the RPM climb, but as soon as truck shift to 4th, it wants to shift again to 5th, even if I'm still giving it light throttle input. Truck did this stock as well. It wants to race to 5th gear ASAP.

This is NO FAULT of the tune. I wasn't expecting major gear change improvement with 1.02B, but wanted to give my initial impression of the tune, which is very positive over stock.

 

Are you sure you aren't experiencing 4th gear unlocked torque converter to LOCKED torque converter? Because that also feels like an upshift but it is still in 4th.

 

Paid a month ago..... What's first, an email saying the kit is being shipped?

 

Loaded 1.02B this morning before driving 60 miles.

I am on stock 4.30 gears, 35's, and full armor.

First off, the noticeable difference is immediate. The truck pulled hard like it did when it was stock. The most noticeable thing for me was the ability to accelerate from 2000 RPM in 4th gear without bogging down.

I averaged 17.6 mpg at 75mph this morning. Up from about 15 mpg.

All good things. I can only imagine the unicorn-like performance once I get my 4.88's installed.

 

4th gear modifications are in progress.
