2016 OVTune Tacoma 3.5L Manual Transmission / Engine ECU Reflash

I just got the truck April 2017 and I’m currently over 50k Miles

 

20 minutes from start to finish. Including making nd drinking a cup of coffee.

 

July 25th 2017 and just a little over 4k miles...

 

Is there a new flash manager to download 1.04 or is this posting by Mat the only place to download them? I don't see a place to download on the first page of this thread or on the OVTune website. The last flash manager I have only downloads 1.03. How are new customers getting access to flash manager and files?

 

Thanks Tacotoast. You would think the newest installers would be available on their website. Kind of odd.

 

It's normal. The website is an afterthought until he has his coffee. He's revamping everything and going through a transition right now to streamline the process.

 

Aww yeah, still here

Can't wait to see what 1.05 brings WRT throttle.



BTW, did I read Mat's post right - he's actually moving his operation to Virginia???

 

I thought he was just visiting the east coast. Could be wrong though.

 

Good to hear. Is this the exhaust you have?:

My guess for detuning he truck is like on most commercial vehicles. For reliability purposes. Or to trick the EPA into thinking the truck gets better gas mileage cause of how underpowered it feels sometimes.

No I only have the URD Y pipe/cat delete with the Flowmaster system downstream of it.https://www.urdusa.com/urd-mark-2-y-pipe-tacoma-2016-v6/

 

Ah I got ya. I wonder how much the flowmaster system helps in conjunction with that or if just putting in that part with the stock muffler system downstream would have similar benefits. Obviously if it does not at that point I might as well spend the extra $500 for the whole thing. Sorry not trying to hijack the thread just want to make my tune better.

 

I feel that the Y pipe gave the best performance improvement and in front of a stock system it might not sound quite as "aggressive' Mine can be a bit "obnoxious" depending on how I drive it and gets to sounding pretty "exotic under other load conditions. Highway at 70-75mph and about 2500rpm in 5th is a pretty mellow.

ETA after installing the Y pipe I could definitely feel an improvement with the cats restriction being removed.

 

I honestly could care less about the sound but if your telling me it will improve a little bit i'll take it. It sounds like performance-wise there is a benefit which is what I'm looking for and $500.00 isn't terrible. I assume better acceleration? Also like the added bonus of a better overall aesthetic you get without the stock exhaust pipe visibly curling under the frame...and better ground clearance.

 

I would say yes it improved performance,removing the secondary cats helped the engine breathe easier.

 

Where can I get this? will it work with having a 4.88 gear change w/ 285, MT.

 

Read this link carefully,you still need to purchase the cables from Tactrix
