Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

I fall into the non-turbo budget and very interested in cost/performance along with where gains surface in the powerband. As usually, reading most of these posts daily until the end of time.

Thanks for all you do!

 

Will these require a different tune or just enhance the current like K tuner and such? Also, What kind of power are we looking at possibly?

 

My next truck I’ll just wrap in tin foil. Problem solved.

 

Wow, Also interested in the new header! Has anything been changed or added to OB404 in the last couple weeks? Just checking if I need to update. Haven't read anything in the last 10 pages or so and don't see anything on the 1st page but it never hurts to ask.

 

If you dont see any change in page 1 then there's nothing.

 

Go with a Gibson or Magnaflow over the Borla, the sound is better. Borla sounds awesome on Vettes

Also keep your pipe diameter to 2.5" to keep the torque, unless you run the turbo

 

are these designed to work in conjunction with the Dirty Deeds exhaust system (s)?

 

this is the real question. @OVTune if you can put up some dyno data for these then I'm in.

 

Is that a cat delete? If so, I am assuming that you can are able to control the O2 and emissions?

 

These replace the down pipes and front cats.

 

That is what I was guessing. I am guessing that Mat can tune out the emissions stuff.

Nice ZRX!

 

Thanks. I'm guessing it will need one of those O2 sensor emulator doohickies to replace the OEMs.

 

@OVTune how easy will the new “headers” be to change out with the old ones? Realistically how well would someone be able to reach their hand in to undo/redo bolts and such?

 

It's very easy. On our truck I can do it with hand tools, no jack or anything.


- pending orders will be receiving tracking info today.

 

Can't do it with hand tools?

 

Can***

 

So just a thought... @OVTune you may have a better idea. Has anyone put some real mileage on the performance tunes and checked their spark plugs? Just curious of the wear on the factory hardware and if a better plug would be a good upgrade with tuning them.

Also,
Mat please update me once you have done some tweaks to the Shift tables. I’d love to give it a try. There’s gotta be room in these things for more even NA. I can feel it lol.

 

Stock plugs are quite good. There have been posts from people here who changed plugs and got worse results.
Stock toyota coilpacks have an ignition verification within them that work with the plugs.
