OTT tune 6th gear

I just got the ott tune and i have to really stomp the gas before i can reach 6th, engine revs to almost 6000rpms. Is that normal?

 

Your describing a driver input that will literally prolong the upshift. Sounds like everything is working as it should with the VERY limited information you've presented here.

Remember, your pedal input is essentially a torque request to the ECU. Depressing the pedal further does a number of things but you're essentially telling the ECU you are requesting more torque (relative to less pedal input). The calibration is configured in such a way to take that torque request (pedal input) along with your current output shaft speed, and use a set of look-up tables to determine the appropriate gear to be in. It's a really simple 2D model that determines shift scheduling.

I'd encourage you and anyone else curious to read my post here: https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-overland-tailor.759590/page-82#post-29936170

While unrelated to your specific 'situation' you might find some perspective into what's actually happening and why.

 

I have the Yotawerks Blackhalk 2.0 tune, which I would say is very similar to the OTT tune. Mine shifts fine into 6th and I would have to say what you are describing is not normal. I would contact your tuner and let him know what is going on. May have to reflash it.

 

Here is a video of my truck shifting fast-forward to three minutes and 20 seconds into it.https://youtu.be/y97VafpLBvw?si=9cOCw2rDF739shHo

 

I don't think mine has gotten into 6th ever be greatful

 

Update: spoke with the tuner and he was more than helpful! Shifting perfectly 1st-6th!

 

Did he re-flash it?

 

No, walked me through it. I was sitting to heavy on the throttle in fifth, when I eased into the gas it shifted without issue

 

This still don’t sound normal to me, but I have a different tune. Maybe this is normal for OTT. Be interested in what others have to say that have OTT tunes.

 

Dude stepping on it and still showing 20mpg on the clock. Lol my shit would drop down to like 14 on completely stock truck. What's your setup?

 

I know right

 

S&B cai, Borla exhaust (muffler) Yotawerks Blackhalk 2.0 tune ( newest version) stock size A/T tires

 

It’s an average, not an instant readout. Still an inefficient fuel economy Tacoma with no power.

 

Yeah, it don’t get 35 mpg like a Ford Focus I traded in for the truck, but I’m happy with the truck. I get 385 miles out of a tank. Just tested that out driving to the U.P last week. It’s accurate. As for power, has all the power that I need. And it looks sick!

 

That's pretty sweet looking rig!

 

Thanks!
