Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

No. I am just saying I want to close the revolving door about it. The whole point of the beta was to find some issues. Issues found, now back to work for updates! .

 

M/T updates too?

Good morning Mat

 

Not at this time. We have tons of feedback from both MT and AT, and will be fine tuning our code further. There will likely be another beta release next month.

 

Long drive this morning. I used to do this drive twice a week when commuting from Maine. What a joy is was this morning! No gear hunting. GL for 6th works fantastic. Without GL it NEVER downshifted to 4th unless I buried the pedal calling for a passing gear. AND
18 mpg on 33’s at 75 mph with stock gearing. WIN WIN!

 

We all greatly appreciate your relay of the next step....thank you!

 

Thanks Mat, the Ginger is still behaving on 2.0 Beta 87 anyway!

 

Which tune on what octane are you running?

 

Im

04b04!!
I haven’t read this thread in a while

 

any update on when the catted dump tubes will be shipped out to orders made on July 4th sale?

 

Mat posted Saturday that the fabricator was shipping them to him today,no idea if that will cover all orders of the tubes or if they are the catted or uncatted versions...

 

Well Im on my second tank with the 91 base tune. All I can say is the first tank my dash was reading 19 and 20 mpg with higher mpg readings per short trips. Wow I thought, not bad. The shifting seemed improved. Never recorded actual miles per tank on the first one, but the second one averaged 13 mpg per tank (used 18 gals and went 237 miles, shifting while seems better in the 20-35 mph range overall it still hunts at higher speeds). All my trips now are showing the same avg mpg per trip as before the tune 12-16 MPGish. I still think the truck needs 4.88's and I may just go and try a 87 base or performance or just wait until the 2.0 comes out.

 

I put that on my wife's XC90 and it was worth it. I only paid about $950. It had something to do with the exchange rate. We did an overseas delivery and the tune was on our invoice but actually didn't get installed until the car was shipped back to our dealer. Anyway, it makes a difference for sure.

 

New user, I'm running the v1.05 87 performance tune on my wife's 2017 DCSB 4x4 auto with 4.88s and 33s. All in all I'm happy with it. We've probably driven the equivalent of one full tank since uploading the tune, so maybe 300 miles or so.

A couple things I've noticed: yes, the truck will hold gears better on the freeway/highway, which is great, but when I need it to down-shift, it's like it fights me. Used to kick down a gear or two pretty easy, now I have to put my foot to the floor, and risk it down-shifting multiple gears. it's REALLY slow to react. Is this something that will improve with time?

Second, the display reported 16.1 to 16.3 mpg for the driving we did this past weekend, but you can practically see the needle on the fuel gauge moving. We are going to hand calculate a couple tanks worth to verify, but it actually freaked me out a bit how, based on the gauge, it seems like it's blowing through fuel. Has anyone else noticed this?

 

Does this mean no 2.0 beta for the 04B31 until next month?

 

Sorry if this has been stated, I've searched and can't find any info. Is 2.0 beta supposed to be available for 04A60?
I've updated the Flash Manager but get this: ...no selections available for Octane or Options, and the file won't download...shows an error at the bottom...

 

It is not released on FM, the beta was posted to a webpage Mat released and it's down again until the next update.

No beta yet for 04A60. And betas have been downloaded from OVTune website and not in flashmanager.

 

Got it. Thank you.

 

B04 here and I have been on 93 base 1.05 for a few months. If I flash to 2.0 OLE with a full tank of 93 but switch to 87 after I run this tank dry, will I need to be looking out for anything or can you seamlessly switch between octanes whenever? Has anyone done this with the new tune?
