2016 OVTune Tacoma 3.5L Manual Transmission / Engine ECU Reflash

Yes, it was released yesterday. https://www.ovtuned.com/blogs/news/ovtune-tacoma-flash-manager-overhaul

 

agree. if you have access i recommend trying the 93FOB just for kicks. cus it has kicks.

 

no, i did run 91MA on 1.05 before BFO/FOB dropped. so, i have only run 93 with full otto. it's so great. i prefer it mainly for one reason: more crisp throttle response under 2k. i find all the Atkinson stuff numbing like crazy and i just hate it. i like lots of feedback and Atkinson sucks it all away.

 

Is there a Full Otto 87 or 91 tune? I don't have 93 where I live.

 

I would love to try the 93 tune but I can only find 92 here and it has corn in it

 

Funny you say that, because most of us have found that FO results in the motor running stronger and healthier, both in how it feels and sounds

 

Same in Oregon.

 

if you guys want to try it for a couple or three tanks, get your 92 and an octane booster. i personally wouldn't consider that a sustainable solution, but it will cure your curiosity.

 

Yes, agreed, but I think you misunderstood me (my fault, given that I wasn't very specific).

@RedBeard1 and @St.Germain and @M1Awolf and I have discovered that on FO, the truck generally has a more aggressive note to its sound while simultaneously sounding better and healthier, as opposed to neutered, although that more aggressive low end sound is a bit more muted on FOB when compared to 1.05A FO and 1.05BFO

 

yep.

 

I'll have to take your word on that. It's entirely possible that I've been on previous FO maps for so long that I can no longer compare FOB to 1.04R

I've been on 1.05A FO and 1.05B FO since Halloween, and now FOB lol

 

OVtune is distributing "off the shelf" maps for new purchasers, right? No more having to dump your ECU, send it in, have it tweaked by OVtune, and then reflash the modded image?

 

correct. you need the OBD connector and cable, then download the software and install. no messing with your truck's hardware directly.

 

Just curious as to what the B in FOB stands for. Probably missed it somewhere

 

Second version of the FO tune.

 

1.05 base = mass release 1.05B

1.05 FOB = test version 1.05B FO + add ons

FOB = FO v. B

 

Actually this is a big help lol my laptop for tuning is dying and so I've been eyeing Windows tablets to replace it and just leave dedicated to tuning. The smaller footprint is definitely appealing for storage purposes. Most I see at a reasonable/cheap-ish price have 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage space. If 32GB is basically only enough for Windows to exist, I'd think that having double that would be suitable for my purposes, yes?

 

I’d like to see a dyno graph overlaying FO or FOB over stock... does this exist? I recall the stock torque curve was very unusual with peaks and dips.
What does it look like with FO?
