Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Yeah but when you have to rotate your tires you gotta jack it up just that much higher lol

 

I should probably do that more often... discount tire did my last one when I was in for a flat

 

Anyone mind explaining what dump tubes even do? Noob here.

 

I think these remove a cat, so there’s way less restriction on the exhaust gas route freeing up a hp/tq.

 

They killed emissions testing here unless it is required by the cities. It is something like 6yrs until you have to do the 1st one.

I was just trying to plant some seeds.

 

Will these throw a check engine light?

 

I 2nd these questions... or 4th?

 

Fifth!? Lucky me, my State also only check through OBD2 port. Cause if it throws an error code. I might have to get a spacer for the O2 sensor. Nothing a spacer can't fix. I can make something up on a lathe easily.

 

I have URD's dump tubes and they do throw codes but from what i can tell it's just complaining that the exhuast gases aren't hot enough since usually the O2 sensors are bolted into the catalytic converters.

 

If you already have URD's dump tubes which are at 2 1/4" diameter would there be enough of a benefit to make it worthwhile to purchase yours?

Also I know you've mentioned custom tuning for specific trucks that need it after 2.0 is released and was wondering if you could give a little more information on what all qualifies for getting a custom tune and what all will be required like make a log with x amount of pulls in x gear to x speed or drive x amount of miles in x conditions?[/QUOTE]

 

good question here. i was eyeballing URD's extractor pipes for a while. these need to be compared but not enough info yet.

i have the URD y pipe with rear cat removal, no codes. the dump tubes would be the very last thing to open up the flow. in my exhaust only the front cats have media at this point. removing those and I'll have open flow all the way front to back.

 

Same here,I would consider OV dump tubes if they bolted directly to the URD system.

 

If the URD system bolts to stock and the dump tubes bolt to stock then I'd say the URD would bolt to the dump tubes.
That logic follows, right? I'd wait for the final word from OVTune, but I'm pretty sure

 

i have assumed this. hoping that doesn't backfire. no puns intended.

Post #67 has pictures of my dual exhuast setup and included sound clips in another post.

 

I just tried flashing to a different tune and when I click on p5 flash nothing opens up and just says ready on the bottom. Anyone ever had that happen? What should I do?

 

I just moved back to WA and was unaware emissions testing was ended. 5 years ago I had to do it with my subie yearly. Know if it's required in Seattle?

 

Yeah, the Pugetopolis supposedly still requires it, just like we're hosed with ST3 tab taxes. Both of our cars are less than 6yrs old, so we will see what develops.

The reason given was that cars are emitting next to nothing other than CO2, so there is no need to test. You can see it with almost no smog days.

That said, wildfire smoke is making up for it. Not looking forward to that, again.

 

I saw you mentioned the TSS will get some love this update and was wondering if the dynamic radar is tweakable to work at any speed rather than 35+. My Subaru had the eyesight system and I could use it at any speed and was awesome in a traffic jam or really slow traffic.

 

+ 1

Especially when auto requires the brake to be depressed 100% of the time when stopped. GTFO....
Never heard of a vehicle dying cause the manual transmission died.
