Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

i think i loaded the 32 bit, i will figure it out, don't bother wasting time on my dumb-ass

 

I’m jealous of you guys getting your tunes on! I’m stoked to get mine flashed.

 

From the Blog on OVtune website....

 

After an hour of trying this, i am finally to this point, Skyking3, can you tell me what you did to get past this damn part?

 

You and I both. I am on 91 performance , with "medium" sized tires 265/75/16, throttle tip in is way too aggressive for my taste. This is a preference, NOT an issue, it is called performance tune after all. I do love the quick and precise shift on this performance tune though, it just pulls nicely up to speed. The wife said "why are you going so fast?" I was only going 40, but the snappy acceleration suggests I was moving much quicker.

I plan to flash 91 base after work, hoping for less aggressive tip in, while maintaining the quick and precise shift.

 

@OVTune or anyone else who might know

If you have covered this before in this thread or elsewhere please link me to the post because I couldn’t find it by searching.

1 - On the stock tune, what does ECT mode actually do? Is it one specific map, or specific maps for D vs S mode? Or is it a basicaly a change the logic of the transmission and ECU more or less completely separate from the normal drive modes? Does it have the same effect in D and S? If feels like there’s more linear throttle response and feels like it lets the truck hold gears longer and downshifts less in D and S.

2 - Are there any changes to ECT mode with the 1.05 tune without the shift lock addition or do all 1.05’s have shift lock?

 

Easy with the red crayon big guy. He's probably asking because it's one of the tunes downloadable for 04B04 in flash manager.

 

you're not the boss of me...

 

Unfortunately, I still have not gotten any further. I was able to fix the first 2 problems with the help of some others here but this last problem totally stopped me. I finally broke down and sent a help ticket via zendesk and hope to get a reply tomorrow. I have installed and uninstalled FM 14 times with no joy. Hope you have better luck.

 

I have basically written off "flooring" the truck ages ago. It will take some time to get used to doing it

 

We hell, you and I are stuck at the exact same point, guess its time for a beer and back to waiting around. PLEASE POST ONCE THIS IS FIGURED OUT? I would really appreciate it, thanks very much!!!!!

 

Sorry, didn't mean to be a jerk.

 

Thought I was alone lol.
I flashed 91, unhooked battery for 10 min. Went for a drive.
I was EXPECTING a little better 1.06.
I feel like I got INSANE mode by accident lol. I'm heavy with bigger tires. I'll let it settle in. But it's ALMOST too aggressive lol. Not a ding. He's done some amazing things with this truck.

 

The tip in with 285s is aggressive I cant imagine what that is like on tiny stockers.

 

Then it makes you wonder what the hell is gonna be in insane mode???????

 

Same.
Is there a 91 base?

 

Yes there is.

 

I may try it

 

Try the 87 performance tune. Might suit you better. Running that with 32s and its very aggressive compared to previous 1.05. I like it!

 

The base is mpg tune. On the 285s it was a little sluggish to me. Huge change to the performance. It might be better on the 30in ers
