Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

What are people experiencing between base and performance 87 when it comes to MPG? I saw someone say it actually went up? Outlier or is that being seen by others? I finally have the option of that tune so just wondering what to expect.

 

Only if it's more than a beer and a burger.

 

Who’s the competition??

 

More dyno results and information tonight. Tested on 2018 Truck with newer version ECU

 

Nah, I was thinking a "tip" of $5 would probably be reasonable.

 

Please be a MT, please be a MT...

 

Anyone in the Denver area with TS on their laptop willing to install T-SB-0062-18? Yah I know I could load it and flash it - just too lazy at the moment. Beer ? Don't want to push buttons for performance and gear lock on 04B03 as Mat is fix'n up some more special sauce for the OVTune gang.

 

Come to Iowa and I’ll do it for you. It’s a quick 12 hour drive across the great state of Nebraska

I’ll do it for free as the drive across Nebraska is enough pain and suffering lol

 

If only there was a reliable way to have nation-wide wireless USB!

 

I'm in CO Springs and would be cool with doing it for you.. that is if you make it down this way.

 

I should have just packed up and started driving around the country hosting TSB events.

 

I think I got guys. Thanks for the help. I guess I was over thinking it and making it more difficult than it was.

 

Yay!

 

You should make a google calendar of where you're going to be since you drive so damn much!

 

Yup, looks like you got it.

 

Oh man you're one independent man now. Look at you now. Lol

 

I’m enjoying the tip in on the 87 performance tune. I’m pretty light on the pedal anyway. I’m only around 50 miles on the tune still. But it is noticeable and overall feels smoother. Haven’t opened it up on the highway yet. Looking forward to that soon!

 

More information de-compiled tomorrow..
So, to ensure total accuracy with tuning, and dyno accuracy, an indepedent dyno-jet test and tune was performed

Testing result - As tested
peak gain / difference of 61 ft lbs @ 4100 RPM
Peak gain / difference of 47 HP @ 4100 RPM
Peak Gain @ 6000 RPM of 17 HP



Indepedent test

 

Can’t wait for the 87 performance with milder tip in. Currently running 87 base and on second tank. Just went on a 250 mile round trip with interstate, hills, highway, and city mix of driving. Average mpg 20.0 on dash. 3” leveling kit, 4:56 gears and 285/70/17 Nittos. Factor in tire compensation and mpg about 21.4. Truck drives great in ECT mode and pretty good mpg. Great job Matt.

 

Thanks everyone! New results are one page back and will be on page 1 soon.

With these new developments, new tests and results it's a great time to own a tacoma!!

I think one of the biggest advantages so far that we have bee able to create, is not the peak gains (although they're huge) the stable and smooth increase in power on the engine all the way from bottom to top
