Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Exactly what I hope too!!

Smooth like every toyota truck but with power

 

I was mainly talking about the 1-2 shift, but the FOB / Perf tunes were stellar. I'm looking forward to that in 2.0.

 

Here is the pic of the data I logged.
I see no dead pedal.
See the vertical blue line across all graph.
This is me coming to the hill in 5th (see left side for driving parameters).
As you can see RPMs were rising as the position of the accelerator was moving up.
I had a traffic in front of me and was unable to accelerate further.

 

delicious data, nice work there

 

Speed is steady (I was decelerating in steep hill because gravity)
load percentage is going up,
throttle position is further,
but still no downshift.
That look like a “dead pedal” to me

If the transmission was going in 4th gear it would be in the correct power band to “accelerate” or keep going. If nothing happens when you push the pedal there is something wrong.

Otherwise, to me the tune is very much like my 4runner 2007 and FJ Cruiser drive, except the tip in

 

Are you B04 ECU?

 

At your marker (vertical line) I see accelerator position increasing with no increase in speed... that's dead peddle. The slight increase in RPM is from TC unlock but it's not enough to increase your speed. 5th is overdrive and 6th is a double overdrive, with any increase in load and or peddle position should shift to 5th, IMO, for more efficient acceleration instead of lugging up to speed slowly.

 

04A61

 

What do the handhelds go for, any how do you order them?

 

It's a hill. Big ef'in hill. You'll drop the speed regardles what you drive. Plain physicsBut this is not a dead pedal.
I tested that 93 tunes 10xx something version and I can recognize a dead pedal.
I would drive 70+in left lane, 6th, tc locked. As soon as I hit a hill, pedal moved passing 40%, nothing would happen - still 6th, tc locked
Here a 2 frames after the blue line.
See TC unlocking (probably due to drop in speed) and moving accelerator by 9% caused RPMs jump by 400 and I recovered speed accelerator at 30.8 %, rmps @2050, load 83.5 %.

 

Not for general order yet.........

 

I’m having shift point issues on my 33s as well. It still just shifts too quickly, although it may be fine for stock tires. I’m back to using my SSP as there is constant gear hunting at a steady 50mph on small rolling hills. Oh well, truck runs nicer on 2.0 than stock, but still doesn’t replace my SSP. I’m hoping 5.29s will help me move to tune only.

 

So what happened to giving us an ETA on the dump tubes this Friday? Been waiting for 7 weeks now after payment processed with not even a hint on when its coming. Feels like a Kickstarter project.

 

Lucky it is not a Ford Ranger with 10 speed

 

I thought that 4.88s would solve my problems but thats not the case. I still have to lock the gear in 4th going up hills as the transmission goes full retard on any hill, even gradual inclines. I have learned all the spots on my commute and already plan for it. I dont even want to mention cruise control as thats a good way to develop a migraine.

 

Ya my dead pedal is not as bad going up inclines, probably because of the increased load. But on the flats at 65-70 mph have to bury the pedal before it will downshift.

 

Just put in the 5.29s and I’m in 6th at 40 mph lol Going to need the specific tune. 6th gear on the highway all day tho

 

Damn! Been following and been too lazy to hook my laptop and see what ECU version I had. Turns out, I have 04A61. Guess I'll wait till the full version comes out. I'm sure Matt has plenty of test subjects with tons of emails coming in.

 

Fabricator updated us they will be sending them to us Monday, so not much longer.

It's not a kickstarter project. It's custom, made to order exhaust.

When I ordered URD extractor pipes to test a long time ago I waited nearly 3 months and ended up never even getting them, and they tried instead to offer me Doug versions.

Making these high quality components takes time, more time than we thought, and more orders than we could have anticipated for.


If you guys instead want us to make it with cheaper materials like MIG welded mild steel and not fully backpurge TIG welded SS I bet they can be made faster, and shittier.

 

I don’t even have your product and this comment alone about quality stands for good grounds to the measure of the man behind the product. Never once have I ever taught anyone to sacrifice quality over quantity. Doing so is quickest step to being out of business.
