Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Sounds t me that ECT is a waist of time

 

Why?

 

It doesn't seem to do anything. I remember ECT from years ago and it did do something. Made the shift points much higher and all over more responsive, Currently I dont see any difference.

 

I notice a difference. Shifts down quicker with less throttle input and also holds gear longer when accelerating. I have it on all the time. What tune are you on?

 

That’s still what ECT does

 

So i have a question now that i dont think has been asked or answered?

Performance map
Performance map+ gear lock


Are the performance maps the same on both of these tunes? If so does that mean the base performance map + ect will be even more agressive than the performance+gearlock map as far as shifts go?
@OVTune

 

Haha, got me there...
I just meant in the scenario he was describing - flooring it to get a lower gear isn't going to work.

 

This is how I think they rack and stack:

Performance - ECT = Performance Gear Lock - ECT

Performance + ECT > Performance Gear Lock - ECT

Performance + ECT < Performance Gear Lock + ECT, assuming gear lock driver shifts at rev limit

 

Performance for A61 is not yet available.... hopefully by end of weekend.

 

Be cool. The tunes you want to download (perf / gl for 04A61) are not available yet. Mat has said he is working on these files and that they would be available this weekend.

 

Dont have any tune, waiting for reply to start my tune

 

Yeah, there’s lots of info flying. A thorough read of the first page ‘usually’ has the latest facts.

 

i am order 3899 and mine "shipped" (shipping label created, but not actually received by UPS yet). I got the shipping email from OVTune. I would assume yours shipped

 

Dammit, that cheap RCA tablet/computer below has a USB 3.0 port and I didnt realize until I set the thing up. Why isnt USB 3.0 supported!?!?! It's not even blue, but it says in the description.

I guess I will just have to use my ancient laptop, just worried about it shitting the bed. Can I swap the tune to another computer if this thing dies on me?

 

You can use a usb2 hub and connect it to your usb3 port. Then it works.

 

Get a usb splitter/adapter from 3.0 to 2.0

https://m.newegg.com/amp/productlist?keyword=usb 3.0 to 2.0 adapter

 

Try it first. Usb3.1 works

 

My computer has 3.0 port. Works fine. All usb cables and ports are compatible with each other. Its just that the lowest cable/port determines the transfer speed. 2.0 cable, 3.0 port = 2.0 speed

 

I was concerned with this too. Tried it first with my surface pro that only has a single 3.0 USB port and everything worked fine.

 

Flash Manager update:
-04B30 System ID files (BASE) - fixed so they can now be downloaded.

04A61, 04A60 Performance / Gearlock uploading in a moment
