Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Feels refined enough to get it out by the end of month! Nice work!!

 

Thanks for the offer; this is what makes this community so great. By the time I have a couple hours free it will probably be out for 60. We'll see though!

 

Not quite "everyone." Are we going to have an 04B30 beta test first? With the known issues plaguing previous 04B30 tunes, a test like all the others here would seem prudent.

 

Are these issues the shudder?

 

I have been sitting on my OVtune unit for almost a month now. I haven’t opened it yet.

Would anyone be interested in an independent testing? I wanted to wait until I could put together some cameras and and dyno appointment, but looking at the views of OVtune videos on YouTube it doesn’t seem like many people are interested in OVtune

 

Are you the only 04B30 in here?

 

This thread has over 3.5 million views. I don't believe the lack of quality video content on YouTube has much relation to OVTune's popularity.

 

I am making phone calls today. I hope am the first to offer a good video.

 

I think majority of people care about the drivability improvements we are working on and offering moreso that dyno videos. But if you're looking for independent tests, it's already been done and the results are on the first page with the dynojet results. Independently tested by National speed with their truck, on their dyno.

 

I'd rock the hell out of a OvTune T-shirt!
And I'd rock some stickers too!
Shoot, I'll even throw some on the WR450-F.

 

There's apparently some issue related to the throttle that I don't really have the details for. He mentioned it in his last response to me.

As of right now, there are no downloadable 1.05 or 1.05.1 tunes for 04B30 dongle users in the flashmanager app. They are either accidentally missing from the download folder on his server, or he pulled them for some reason -- not sure why.

I know there are a couple of us, but I'm not sure how many.

 

I have explained why, in this thread, multiple times now.
Both 04B30, and 04B31, there is a bug that we have found that does not work well with our current version of throttle tuning, and the files have been pulled. We have already fixed it, tested it, and new versions will be released.

 

Well I am looking to start and grow a channel. I haven’t seen videos about dyno tests, and I think there might be some interest.

I guess it’s up to me put up the cost and see if it’s worth it in the long run

 

Has anyone else's MPG dropped significantly since updating to 2.0? I've lost quite a bit. I will give it more time... that being said, the driveability has improved immensely.

 

Bandit Offroard has a lot of videos on their channel with quite a few going over our tune. But if you are looking to do a channel dedicated to just dyno testing the tacoma, not really sure how popular that's going to be. Not saying it's not a good idea, just saying we have tested multiple trucks independently and published the results on 3 different types of dynos, Dyna dynamics, Dynapack, dynojet. Other than there being videos of doing pulls..not sure how much more you can get from it.

 

Adding known issues to the first post may reduce the number of times you have to answer the same questions. Nearly 2500 pages of comments makes it unwieldy to search through to see if an issue is known.

 

Should wait for cold weather and winter blend fuel.

 

mine may have. to early to tell. all those WOT runs threw this tank of fuels reading off. . filled new tank of fuel today

 

You're new, so you haven't figured out yet that people here don't read the first post.

 

All I know is that I reverted to stock last weekend after hearing about a mysterious throttle-related bug in the tune, and there are currently no tunes available for me to download. None at all. So, as you can imagine, it's a little frustrating to read about all the glory of 2.0 beta versions while some of us don't even have a bug-free version of 1.05 to download and install. (That's why I was genuinely hoping you would surprise me with a 04B30 2.0 beta. Seriously).

When you posted earlier about "everyone" enjoying the 2.0 beta performance and wrapping it up, I guess it just rubbed me the wrong way since some of us aren't enjoying any tune right now. I apologize if my previous comment was rude. I didn't mean to offend.
