vF Tuner for the 3.5L Tacoma

Correct. You need the reg file before the buttons are active.

once you have the reg file, you can identify your ecu, download the tune files and flash a tune. You don’t need to send in anything else after you have the reg file.

 

Oh snap. The instructions mentioned that step but glad it's simpler. I already know my ECU ID so could I download those tunes now, knowing I can't flash until I have the reg file? I have not yet purchased the 3.5L Tune Pack; just have VFTuner.

 

Thanks for the the master key, I was able to download. But I’m not able to register, I get a “Master Key (email) not recognized”

 

Sweet! I edited and flashed the premium 2.0 33 4.88 + AGM and voltage was 14.4ish. going for a hundred mile drive this morning and am stoked to See battery voltage when done.

Hopefully the next big vftuner update includes gear lock, performance maps and switching, and dump tubes

 

@OVTune , or anyone who has changed this, could you point us in the right direction for changing the accelerator sensitivity (tip-in) please? TIA

 

This was done on an MT but should be similar for the AT

find this table. and increase values.
Do not modify the red values that are 89.09

easy way to mod is highlight area, press * and multiply.
100 = 1.0
125 = 1.25
(for multiplying)

 

AT / MT throttle control is a big different.

 

alternatively, you can mod throttle per individual gear.
be careful though, it makes a dramatic difference.

 

Good to know. I hadn’t seen anyone make throttle modifications to the AT yet.

Is this also on the MT? I know its been mentioned before that there is per gear controls even on the MT but not sure where exactly those are. Or if its all been consolidated to one table now with 2.0.

 

Thank you for the quick response! Where would we go to change it in 4hi and 4 lo if we want to decrease sensitivity?

 

@OVTune Im sure I missed it but has anything new been discovered about DFCO in autos specifically in 4lo 1st

 

I looked at those "per gear" tables while nosing through 04B41 SFOB Prem, seems 3rd gear is blank lol... I MUST be doing something wrong.

It also shows blank on the stock file!?

 

Dumb thought, but could 3rd be Neutral and the OD gears or something be sharing one of the maps? I thought it was said that Neutral was on a separate map?

Given all the stock stupidity, I wouldn't be surprised if the gear numbering did not 100% correlate?

 

No idea.. I've had very little chance to sit down and pour over these maps.. and come up with reasonably intelligent questions for Mat.

I was thinking of messing with the ACIS controls...

 

The thought of lowering the ACIS RPM value has crossed my mind.

I definitely want to try out the linear throttle mod.

 

Same.

I want to see what happens when I change the High/Low RPM activation values to something higher than my daily driving range (as a test). I know torque will be affected, I just want to see if I can smooth this beast out a bit in the midrange.... or I could physically unplug the flapper motor .. nah, what would I learn from that?!

The throttle map changes are definitely going to happen.

Been too busy with home improvements and GF stuff lol

 

I think (?) the problem with unplugging is that it is set to closed? So, we would have to cycle it also. Easier in vF. LoL!

We'd need confirmation, but I believe @OVTune lowered it from stock and folks have noted that having it set to open was really nice? So, dropping the value might be the good direction? When I peeked at the value in vF, I believe there was only one RPM value, not a low and high. Going from memory there also.


I'm dodging all the stuff around that house that I can. It's bad enough spending more time there than I want to. GF stuff, huh?

 

Was hoping someone might have the download link for the VF tuner. Had a problem with my email and all email where deleted and need to install on a new computer.
