Dynograph Analysis
This dynograph presents an impressive increase in both horsepower and torque showcasing its gains at an early stage of the powerband. Almost 60 ft.lbs of torque and roughly 50 horsepower @ 3300 rpm was exhibited. Such enhancements not only indicate superior engine performance but also contribute to an overall improvement in vehicle drivability.

Torque Gain
The torque gained through this tune signifies a notable boost in the engine's capacity to generate power efficiently. This torque enhancement is particularly advantageous for applications that require strong low to mid-range performance, such as towing, commuting and spirited driving.

Horsepower Gain
The exhibited horsepower increase accompanied by the torque gain translates to a higher top-end performance. It enables the engine to maintain higher speeds more effectively improving acceleration during high-speed driving. This will also lead to a more responsive engine that reacts swiftly to driver inputs.

Drivability Improvements
The refined drivability associated with these gains will have a seamless integration of power delivery and vehicle control, resulting in a more enjoyable driving experience.
The combination of increased torque and horsepower allows for more linear and predictable acceleration.
The enhancements in torque ensure that the vehicle can pull away from stops and navigate inclines with greater ease, making it ideal for urban driving conditions

-------------------------------------------------
The Forced Induction series of tunes from MCB Autotech began with the Harrop TVS1900 for the 3rd Gen Tacoma and was published on December 8th, 2024.

The dynograph compares the MCB Elite F.I. tune for the Harrop kit versus the tune that is provided with the Harrop equipment. MCB Elite F.I. was able to gain 37 HP / 29 TQ more than the tune that comes with the kit.
These cumulative gains represent roughly a 50% increase in power over the stock form of the truck. The street tuning for the vehicle provides superior drivability as it has the same smoothness and performance as the N.A. Elite Performance Tunes!

The Harrop TVS1900 kit will be available soon on our products page for purchase. Be on the lookout for our in-house developed, Stage 2 performance add-on that is in development.

Jacob and his 2022 Tacoma decided to swap from a competitor tune (for Offroad use only) to the MCB Autotech Elite series performance tune. He chose the Elite Ultra to provide the power and torque he was missing after adding a 7” lift and 35’s.

Currently he’s still on stock gearing so the added weight and rolling mass per corner had taken it toil even with a good tune.

MCB provided the extra boost needed!

I was on the Yotawerx Blackhawk 2.1 tune and liked it because it made my 23 Tacoma drive the way it should. After a while I noticed some issues that I was not happy with. I was going to reach out to my local tuner and ask if a reflash maybe in order. After talking to him and found out about this tune from MCB, I decided to take advantage of holiday pricing and pulled the trigger on this new tune. So after 1K miles put on the truck with this tune and I found that i do not notice any issues I had with the Blackhawk tune. Acceleration is very smooth now and no more hard down shifting at slower speeds in the lower gears. Very happy and glad i made the switch. There was no pressure put on me from my turner to switch. He just answered all my questions that I had and let me make the decision on what I wanted to do. Only negative I have coming from the blackhawk tune is I've lost about 1MPG on the highway. This maybe do to winter gas. Time will tell. I never give reviews so let that statement tell you how happy I am with this tune. Do your research and pick a tune. you'll be so glad you did

Remote tunes are happening all across the US anytime an owner is in need of a local resource but there just isn't one. Get an outcome just as good as in-person with benefits like getting the calibration applied on your schedule right in your own driveway and allowing you to try out the adjustments for a few days, not just a quick test drive. Here's what Ryan said about his tuning experience:

Chris has been incredibly helpful. Even as other modifications or issues have come up with my truck, he has taken the time to help assess or make any adjustments. I highly recommend his services. Also, the tune has been amazing. Toyota OEM shift tuning is terrible. The truck rides so much smoother now.


Thanks for your trust and for allowing me to provide the latest and greatest Elite calibrations on the market from https://www.mcbautotech.com/

Looking forward to trying out the MCB tune. I am currently on YoduhWerks 2.1 AD. I have worked with @wahoobie and @Mcbelen before on some tuning and adjustments. It was a great experience. Feeling the lack of confidence from another tuner, is now pushing me in the direction of MCB tunes. Wanted to get some more feedback on anyone else running the MCB tune and if you made the switch from a competitors tune ?

 

Taking a look at the graph compared to the numerical values provided it appears that they don’t have matching values. According to the graph, yes it’s published what’s written in the description above but the numeric values if am am reading correctly are more like +16HP & +19 Tq help me out with my interpretation if I am wrong.

 

I am not entirely sure I am understanding your comment. You are citing peak gains, which we have listed in the graphic (if you calculate the difference) at 6900rpm and 5300rpm respectively.
The gains written in the descriptions specifically indicate a different point on the graph.

 

Ahhh I see those are the max overall peak numbers of the MCB tune but the massive gain over stock happens at 3300 RPM (which RPM we all really want to use anyway) I appreciate the clarification and am excited to try this tune out. Currently on Blackhawk YW 2.1.

 

Yessir! Yeah I guess we could have typed the peak numbers in the description, but as you just noted, we know significant gains in a more usable rpm range are more valuable

 

Got the MCB tune flashed on my 2023 this past weekend via the remote option from @wahoobie. Coming from YW2.1 active duty BTW. This MCB tune (@Mcbelen) is by far much more refined overall. The shift logic is greatly improved and very smooth. Holds gears better keeping in the power band and not having that “fall on its face” feeling especially when pulling up hills. Low end torque/HP feels very good most noticeable gain at 2900-3600 RPMs. Another positive improvement that I noticed, is the idle is so much more smooth now. The YW tune caused the idle to be erratic at times. It would cause the truck to jerk when backing into my garage because the engine RPM would suddenly go up without throttle input. I am extremely pleased with the outcome of the MCB tune so far. Keep up the good work!

 

I have been on every tune that @wahoobie has offered from the time he started tuning and he has ben great, customer service is second to none and we have become great friend and what's even better we live minutes from each other. I loved the KDMAX tunes, and the Blackhawk was great but this new tune from MCB is just so refined, smoother feeling, shifts are quick and crisp feeling, and the downshifts are smooth and not jerky feeling. Yotawerks (Sorry Customer Service) BH tune was pretty darn good but no room for improvement and would have been happy going back to the KD tune, but both were great however this new tune is everything all in one is just perfect. I say that every time I get a new tune and yes, they all were great as everything can be improved on. This tune nailed it!

 

Got the truck tuned today w/ Tony from Smoky Mountain Tuning LLC. We decided to do the MCB Autoworks Ultra tune. I’ve been driving around all weekend on and off road; really enjoying the super smooth shift points, improved throttle response, no gear hunting. Way more enjoyable to drive the taco now. I’ve never had any other tunes prior so I can’t compare but It has far exceeded my expectations. (Also it’s $50 off right now, $400) That said, I’ve always ran a Ultimate9 EVCX in my Toyotas which is also very nice and has alot of other features but it doesn’t cure all things. I drove half the day without the U9 and the other half with it and I must say they work very well together but it may be overkill so I’ll only use it for its other features rather than throttle response.
