HP Tuners for 2005-2015

Looks like the tune is a little rich. Needs moar boost.

 

he is just playing buddy. This thread, the supercharger tips and tricks, and the Roostfactor y-pipe thread don't have anyone giving anyone serious heartache. There is plenty of sarcastic ribbing though so a little thick skin and friendly payback is welcomed!

 

Ugh the HAI though

 

I agree with the reliability part but not the rest of it.
First off I can now finally say from experience that the original TRD tune was far from perfect, even for a stock truck! Yes Toyota richened the crap out of the tune for exactly the reason you stated "reliability at the cost of performance" but, it was by no means perfect. Not even close! @JustDSM could elaborate more on this because he is "NEO" but basically Toyota went way too far to save the reliability so by returning the engine parameters closer to optimal will increase power, economy, and most likely engine life because cylinder lubrication isn't being washed with excess fuel.
Besides that, there is the variable cam timing which has (in testing infancy) shown serious promise for our future!

TLDR: The engine can make more power, be just as reliable if not more, and be more efficient (better fuel economy) all at the same time! That is what you pay for when you want an extremely refined tune! one that maximizes EVERY available parameter. This is extremely time consuming and requires serious understanding of how to interpret and manipulate data as well as extreme understanding of engine fundamental operation.

 

There's much more going on in this pic than you know about, but I'll let @Roostfactor speak about it.

 

Agreed. This is a temp setup to test and calibrate this intake so we don't have to recalibrate for it later.
If you are new here you haven't seen what my plan with this intake is.
I am going to relocate my battery to the passenger side, cut off the supercharger intake at the 180 degree elbow, move the throttle body (it will be near the brake booster), route new intake where filter is behind front headlight, and build enclosure for new intake location for cold air supply.
My theory is for those of us really pushing the sc, that we are starving the sc of air at higher air loads so I am going to remove that restriction.

 

HAHA, just did. You are awesome D!!!

 

I've had a design I've been meaning to try at some point...Take the URD intake, cut the elbow turning towards the front of the truck to make it a Y, add a snorkel to it, put an inline filter under the fender maybe, that way cold air from in front of truck and ram air would both come in. Add an exhaust type cutout to the front section for any sort of water crossings/high dust areas. Had a bunch of aluminum parts saved for a while to try it, but never got around to it.

 

How could I forget the OP, @Hacktacular!!

 

That is one bad Tacoma!

 

Precisely my thought to that question.

 

I don't see any hard evidence that any of this is true. In this case, pictures or dyno numbers, or it did not happen!

 

10-20 HP gain to be had by cam phase improvements.

 

True story. So new, the data truly isn't there. The speculation, is discussed in detail. The devil is in the details. As they say....

 

I’m going to see if I can get it on the dyno this week.

I’m curious what numbers would impress on a nearly stock truck with tuning? Legit question. Give me a figure, I’m curious to see if it’s got it in it.

 

Stock unmolested, around ~195 whp and ~236 wtq.

 

If I can find a dyno in south DFW I’ll take time off work and get it done. This community has asked and I’d like to deliver.

Know of any place in south DFW? I’m relatively new to the area..

 

@ThomasMore66 does

 

@ThomasMore66 let me know! I’ll do it tomorrow if they can get me in!
