2016 OVTune Tacoma 3.5L Manual Transmission / Engine ECU Reflash

That's a relatively forgiving 5k lbs there. Double axle and fair wind profile. I found that pulling a camper was reasonable up to about 50mph. Once I started passing that, it was really starting to pull against me.

But it's really good to hear that you've seen such a performance increase. Hopefully it'll be a similar secret sauce for the AT crowd when it drops for us.

 

I should try towing with 2.0 again. I’m sure it would be pretty awesome now.

 

If Mat's not careful, he may unsell a bunch of turbos.

 

It's definitely a want vs need at this point. For me, I commute over a mountain every day and even though sfob is a vast improvement over the beta down low and up top it is just a blast with more than enough. Still, I'd like to see what the turbs can do for my scenario.

 

Don't need a 4 link either but, ya know, why half-ass it. Jk but that would be... all kinds of fun.

 

yeah it's all a package deal to me. I've been building the truck out around my sense of what this motor is capable of NA. took a long time to get here but it's in its zone now since the FO tunes dropped. but i am at my absolute limit with a stock-ish rear. links and bed destruction may be in my future, but for now I'm just looking into getting my trac bar back. if i had tt's that would include bbk, links, and a proper cage.

 

Buddy of mine had a second gen with that setup but with a supercharger and fully built everything *Baja rig + a daily*. Talk about invincible (and impractical but it was a dream).

 

yep, all about the DD friendly for me. whatever i build will be my DD.

 

My truck isn’t my DD so bring on the impractical!

 

I'm already in that zone and haven't even cut up the rear yet. just not extreme. but I'm the only one who can drive it.

 

I actually have an e350 for a daily but I never use it because I enjoy the taco so much. I gave it to the wife but she hardly uses it because she works from home. Also have an f350 that gets better mileage, but I prefer to just use it for towing

 

Silence is golden, is the thread dead? I reckon everybody is out driving around, social distancing of course. 2.0 is all good I've got a out 200 miles on it the drivability is great. Low end torque a d top end revs straight butta.

 

I need a little help. Can anyone spare a moment to direct me on where I can find pricing and possibly purchase the tune for the M/T?

Thank you sir! I went there before and it showed sold out and is now in biz. It looks like this kit is totally worth it. Sooo it looks like I’ll be making a purchase pretty shortly.

 

If you want one hop on it quick. I think Mat posted that he only had about 15 in stock. Once they are sold out it may be a while until more arrive.

 

Hmmmm I might have to make a secret purchase without the wife knowing... I guess I’ll talk with her so she doesn’t get offended. She’s a gearhead herself so it won’t be hard talking her into it. I’m about to spend $1200 on KO2s but my tire shop closed from being a non-essential business... Well what’s another $700.

 

Yeah his supplier for the cables is based in CA and we know its a total cluster over there right now.....East coast isnt far behind....sigh

 

Pretty much. 2.0 clicked all the boxes and we're content is my guess.

The bottom end is better than ever. The entrance to a drug store near me has a steep grade that I don't think any commercial vehicle could make. In the past, I had to drop down to 1st while turning off the road. Now, 2nd is pulling it from a crawl.

 

The low end is amazing compared to where we all started..i get 4.0 flashbacks when i roll second at a crawl, except this thing pulls way harder up top than both 4.0's i had. Ive been smiling everytime ive driven it since the reflash. I hope Mat sees how much we all appreciate what hes done to this community.
