Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Well this explains a lot.. Thanks for that tidbit Mat.

 

FIFY

 

Nah, an intern would probably have trashed it or fixed it.

 

I must be on ignore haha

 

Every time I see that pic I just giggle...

 

@OVTune, for what it's worth, I get what you're saying about the AT tune & will wait till you dial it in to what you feel is right. I grew up in the days of B&M shift kits & high stall TQ's, was a mystery then to me, but had fun learning. Now FF to 2018, they really mucked it up, thank God for you figuring it out, amazes me. . Looking forward to 1,05

 

I’m probably gonna catch hell for this but what would be the advantages of regearing a 2WD with stock size tires? Low end torque?

 

Oh shit, All them haters gonna be crawling back to ovtune!

 

Way to go Mat! errrrrr Santa. I think all of us agree thanks to you, our Taco love affair is headed for an all time high!!, all we want for Christmas is 1.05!!!!...

 

Matt should sign up for secret Santa and gift someone OVTUNE. Even better include 1.05 before the rest of us

 

With all of this new found insight into how the Tacoma Shiftgate really works, will this end up making shifts happen quicker, and smoother perhaps? After driving a lot of different customer vehicles all the time, every day I get in my Tacoma to drive home and feel like gear shifts take forever. So many times is there the bump from behind feeling when accelerating lightly or decelerating. Just running the TSB for now.

 

You need some gears... 4.88s and I am in 4th by the time I hit 30 under normal acceleration.

 

Not what I meant. I mean the time it takes to actually think, calculate, and perform a gear shift. This process is very slow and sloppy. The last thing I want is MORE shifting. This stupid thing is in 5th gear at 31 mph under normal acceleration.

 

i love you matt if i wasnt already married with children........ take as long as you want to get 1.05 right

 

Agreed

 

What’s wrong with that? You’re getting probably 25-28 MPG

 

Mpgs are not the goal of most. The best comment I’ve heard to describe the A/T: feels like it was built to decelerate.

 

Agree with you there. We want...

Power, smooth shifting, and acceleration because people are stupid.

I’m happy with 1.04R. Wish the cruise control mapping was updated but gives me that to look forward to in 1.05.

4.30s and 33s getting 20 mpg on the highway saves on the 5000 mile trips though.

 

If I cared about MPG I would have bought a Prius.

 

Your Tacoma didn’t come with this button??
