Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Still waiting to see my 1.05 testing tune in my Inbox. Been emailing for 3 weeks... No rush though hahaha

 

I do enjoy a manual, when in the mood. 75% of my driving is commuting and the AT does fine for that. When I feel the need to row gears, I jump in the fun bucket and let it sing. I could handle a manual in my taco too, but wife’s not a big fan of manuals so.... c’est la vie.

Not a big deal either way.

 

Please release 1.05 to the MT people. Maybe they will all quit crying in this thread and go drive their trucks. I'd love to see the ratio of AT to MT 3rd gen Tacomas sold, and more importantly, the ratio of AT to MT OVTune packages sold to 3rd gen Tacoma owners. Not really sure why those people think they need such special treatment here. More pedals = better!

 

Haha, the MT guys are not the ones bitching. We are ALWAYS behind the bipolar trucksG and at keast I'm ok with that. Go look the the review thread. By far more ATs the MTs in bot actually trucks and ovtuned. MT ftw

 

Oh sh1t

cc @MOC221_
I made it!

 

@OVTune

I can do some logging for you again,@3,330 ft w/91. Truck has larger tires + armor/winch. Currently running 04B13 w/1.04r.

ETA I am also running the URD cat delete y pipe,with a flowmaster system downstream.

 

More testing equals more tune tweaking equals more waiting!Give the MT guys 1.05 as is and tweak away until you squeeze every once of goodness out for the AT's as you can!

 

The easy choice for me was so that I could have more attention on my new-born. AT is great for commuting

 

Thinks of it this way. With more data and info,he will be able to really dial the tune in...

 

Yes thats my point! We AT guys need all the tune tweaking Mat can dial up! I can wait until Mat has it dialed in!

 

@OVTune I can do some really high altitude runs this weekend. I can run up to 10,000 maybe higher on 91. 04b01 though and on 285s. Currently running 1.04. I may be able to run it as early as thursday evening.

 

Did he say which October? Maybe it’s october 2019??!

 

I don’t think there were any balls there to put back. This is finding some balls and strapping them on!

 

Damn, if I was home I could get some high elevation testing done. 6700ft base and easy access up to 12k.

 

LOL, last I checked, the ratio of tune prices MT:AT is 1:1. I paid for it just like you did.

A/T is already getting exponentially more "love" than M/T, since Mat's R&D truck is an auto. I get it, he even said why - most of the market is auto.

At some point though, there needs to be a M/T mule or long term loaner in the stable. You can only do so much remotely. Oh and more dyno time.

I think I'll actually stick around, the shitshow is going to be epic.

 

I expect there to be some ban hammers thrown during the shitstorm

 

MT were a lot better off then the AT were to start with. I've got both and I preferred a manual because of its amazing anti theft properties and being able to control my gear. His biggest challenge has been the shift tables and multiple different code tables that Toyota pawned off from what I've read between the rants.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong but once you tune the motor its the same for the AT or the MT which is with Mat is already done with the MT files essentially? Smoothing out and correcting the automatic shift tables for normal/modified/extreme trucks seems to be the finishing touches at the moment?

Most days I live to stir the pot which is why I keep up with this monstrosity of a thread.

 

Plot twist: 1.05 has been done for weeks and Mat is just sitting back, enjoying his coffee and the break from work lol

 

AT owners are always riled up

 

That’s because we don’t have something to play with all the time. Idle hands and the devils work.
