Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

@OVTune
What are the noise level of the dump tubes with stock exhaust?

 

@OVTune You have done great things to this motor. Can we expect a significant bump in torque (1200-2200RPM) with 2.0 and dump pipes?

 

Check out the dyno on dump tube, impressive low end torque. Just need to know the sound level.

 

Notice the red stock line, bc of ignition issues in stock form we have incomplete data in the RPM range I am asking about. Compare that stock line to other dyno images and the line runs a little different. I want to like my TACO, but 35k/yr means I don't get to play in the fun zone - when I do I love it - but I hate driving it between 55-75 mph which is where I spend greater than an hour driving everyday.

 

How was this resolved? TSS recall or did they replace the throttle actuator? Want to know so I can tell the dealer how to fix mine.

 

Yep. That’s where we are now with dealers. Take our vehicles in for a known recall and it’s up to us to tell them how to fix it.

 

Just came back from a round trip VA to CT and avg 23.0 on both legs with 87 perf tune. Can't wait for 2.0 improvements and flex octane use!!

 

I definitely feel like it gained some power however w/o a dyno it's really hard to say and the thing is I installed my Borla exhaust + Y-pipe + OVTune all at the same time so I am really not exactly sure how much gains came from what mod.

I feel the dump tubes are still the biggest restriction in the system so once I figure out whether to get the OVTune or URD/Dough Thorley dump tubes then all the cats will be deleted and I believe then with the full exhaust and EROM 2.0 it will really open her up for some more noticeable gains.

I'm about to do the same. I currently have the Borla Cat-back exhaust with 91 perf flash tune. URD Mark 2 y pipe is coming. Hopefully, I don't get any code. In my area, as long as my car doesn't throw a code, it will pass a smog check. No exhaust probe or visual inspection.

I hope it doesn't drone either. Cause that would be really annoying. And since my car is still under free service through Toyota dealership, I hope they don't throw a fit when they see that I delete two CAT.

 

They replaced the throttle actuator

 

I’m ordering the URD Y Pipe. Hoping for no codes and no drone with TRD Pro exhaust.

 

Anyone checking this thread everyday for the 2.0 update like checking the Christmas tree for presents? Because I am.

 

Has Mat given any indication that the 2.0 release is pending? The last I heard was late July or August, but maybe I missed something?

 

No. The delivery date is still "by the end of the year".

 

Checking this one as often as I am the supercharger one, daily.

 

One can only hope Christmas comes early for both of these things

 

Let's make sure that the info stays accurate/current regarding the 2.0 release. Mat's statements on the subject from this thread:

March 14, 2019 - "As for timeline right now, we're looking at probably summer time."

March 24, 2019 - "Should be available by end of summer / early Fall 2019."

May 28, 2019 - Mat stated that he would post "Expected release time-frame for 2.0 EROM" within 15 days, but that info has been delayed a few times since, possibly due to issues with the dyno.

May 31, 2019 - "we're getting closer!"

Since then, we've simply been waiting/watching for the dyno results and release INFO, not necessarily the actual release itself.

All good things come to those who wait.

If you can't handle waiting, then buy some OV Dump Tubes and download the 2.0 beta that goes with them!

 

Oh I’m fine waiting! I’m just excited!

 

I hope someone can provide an install video of the dump tube.

 

This is not really an tune question but it does go to everyone's experience with resetting learned values... .

I bought new tires this weekend and, because I wanted 235/85R16, I added considerable weight over stock and an inch in height. I noticed an immediate affect on gear hunting and fuel mileage. My question is, would resetting learned values for the the transmission help settle things down?
