Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Just got my tune files! Now I have to decide whether I am just gonna wait for 1.05 or load 1.04

 

Load it! Because as of right now, 1.05 is still:

Someday
October
Or
November

 

Might as well try 1.04 so you can compare when 1.05 comes

 

if for nothing else practice! and fun !

 

Let's be honest... I am not gonna be able to wait! I will load it tonight when I get home.

 

Is it me or did this guy just finish?

Lol, good luck with the tune-boner

 

I wish that were the case, but that is not going to happen. The 4.7 was designed from the outset to be a low-reving motor emphasizing torque over HP.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_UZ_engine#2UZ-FE

"The 2UZ-FE was a 4.7 L (4,663 cc or 284.6 cu in) version built in Tahara, Aichi, Japan and at Toyota Motor Manufacturing Alabama. Unlike its other UZ counterparts, this version uses a cast iron block to increase durability, as it was designed for low-revving, high-torque pickup and SUV applications."

The 4.7 with VVTi (2005-6) was really nice as it added some steam up top.

The 3.5 in the Tacoma is a sporty car motor they are trying to make work in a truck...and then they saddled it with double overdrives...it just makes no sense to put double overdrives on a motor designed to rev to make power.

I would have loved to see Toyota put the 1UR-FE motor (4.6) in the Tacoma...that would have been the shit...great power and not despicable mileage...but it would have stolen too many Tundra sales...

 

Maybe if they offered the 4.6 in the Pro it would be more of a performance package/unique. Oh and... keep the M/T option with that engine. Oh yeah.

 

You would think by the way some people are complaining about low rpm performance, that some how you missed the diesel option.

 

That non-existent diesel option?

 

I read on the interwebz that the diesel option is definitely going to happen as an option in 2017
And 2018
And 2019

 

Phase 2 complete. Waiting on phase 3. Ya know.. I'm a software engineer. I wonder if @OVTune would consider allowing me to help him automate this process. It can definitely be done.

 

Alright, after flashing and a quick spin around the block. WOW that is awesome!! Throttle is how it should have been. I feel it performs similar to that old tundra engine--the gear is about right to be similar. It is so linear.

 

Best thing I have heard all day

 

Did you let it idle for 10 minutes? Because man... that was a fast turnaround.

 

Put it on the list, right under the diesel engine

 

Anybody got file 104r for 04a70 MT ?!

 

All depends on how you drive it! For Shits and Giggles i drove into work Sunday night its a 22 mile trip one way. I set the cruise control at 60 mph and i got 20.2 mpg's i was completely blown away! My normal speed is around 70-75 on that same trip and at those speeds i am getting 14.4 -15 mpgs. I have 4.88's ,OVtune 1.03 91oc, with 285/75/17's Cooper ST MAXX (34") Full steal skids,TRD intake,TRD exhaust and lots little goodies added. This truck still got 20+ miles per gallon if you dont mind driving at a snails pace i think i pissed off a few folks driving that slow!

 

I think 1.04R M/T would be for 04A71 ECU (and also 04B13 for 16/17)... In other words, it's for TSB updated trucks until 1.05 comes out..
