3rd Gen Tacoma 2.7L ECU Tuning

Truth.

 

Any release info or any word on the 2.7 tunes we all have been waiting for a while and only have heard crickets

 

Hope you still plan on the tune for the 2.7 soon and havent totally ditched the idea

 

We have not ditched the idea at all. We're just at max capacity at the moment with the 3.5 and 4.0L.
We absolutely want to work with 2.7L owners, we are just understaffed right now to do so.

 

I feel sad that I read all this.

 

Gotta have some faith!

 

Wow, this thread is over a year old now.

 

And no results.

 

Driving the truck in S5 is making things a wee bit better for me. That 6th gear is useless on the interstate though: in 5th going 65mph+, truck shifts into 6th at about 70, *driver sets cruise control*, truck struggles for 3 seconds to stay at 70, the truck downshifts from 6th to 4th gear, the gear shift makes the truck go from 70 to 67, engine revs up to 5000 rpms to accelerate from 67 back to 70, jolting driver back into the seat. Truck reaches 70mph again and the cycle continues.

If I set the truck on S5, it rolls 70-75mph at 2200 rpms, and I'm ok with that. Disappointed in the below standard behavior of the truck at interstate speeds on D mode, and it probably wasn't great forthe brand new engine, but whatever.

edit: it’s the cruise control, drive by wire remedies my issue

 

2nd that

 

Its the same with a 5 speed. We dont use 5th till over 70mph. No biggie...its a 4cyl it likes to rev a bit!

 

I apologize for keeping everyone waiting so long. The 3.5L version of the truck is a mess and has eaten up all of our time and then some.

 

please remember us sir , I do see a lot of members here very interested , as im sure you se as well , thank you for your response I was getting nervous there ,that you may have forgotten us

 

I would also like you keep us in mind. 2.7's need love too. Haha. Thanks and Happy New Year!

 

And has had my ecu since September

 

Interestingly enough if you talk to any V6 owner they report almost the exact same symptoms and issues. When you have 2 engines with a pretty large power differential both complaining of the same issues, it's usually not the powerplant but the drivetrain. And pretty much proves my biggest complaint since day 1: The gearing on the 6AT is bad. 6th is too deep of an overdrive, 5th should have been the 6th, and we need a nicer spread of ratios for 3-4-5.

Sadly though, new ratios is not something OVTune can do for us.

Yeah based on your descriptions of the maps they're like 4th dimensional tesseracts of mind bending complication. I'm a pretty patient dude but just know that in general "we" (the 4 cylinder market) will keep on poking...

On the bright side I do recall you saying the 2TR did have simpler maps!

 

What do you guys mean by detonates?

 

Don't mean to add fuel to the fire but this is the first time I've ever been disappointed in Toyota. They really dropped the ball. Never thought I'd see the day. Times are changing I guess.

 

I installed the LCE header in my truck and while I was skeptical, it did make a very welcomed change in the midrange which is exactly what this truck needed. If the ECM tune comes along and makes it even better, then I’ll finally make the jump to 255/85’s but until then, smaller/lighter tires it is :/

 

did it make your truck sound like an 87 accord?
