Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

So instead of down shifting, it’s bumping up speed by unlocking the converter?

 

it looks like you have gained total control of lockup through throttle use. is that right? looks super responsive.

 

So vehicle speed must report in km's, either that or @OVTune is fibbing a little on his casual drive.

 

You can maintain speed, accelerate, hold speed by having full throttle and torque + direct lock in 6th gear so that everything the engine makes goes straight to the gear.

it only unlocks when you let off the throttle

its kph lol

 

Im betting this will fix the cruise control too! man i can not wait to get this tune!

 

AT holy grail right there

 

Safe to say I’m ordering this right meow

 

when it locks and you're on throttle in 6th you can physically feel the torque when you gas it. I was easily cruising at 13-1400 RPM

 

Now I know how it feels waiting for a product release

 

This is great to hear! Sounds like this could help on the MPGs as well if the RPMs are staying low... im heading to arkansas next weekend and will definitely be able to share my mpg results

 

Somebody asked about effect on towing a couple pages back, any comment on it?

 

The new dongles are not syncd to the ecu, just registered with guardant

 

This I don't know yet, have not tried towing

 

Cant wait to get my kit and get this for the 6MT!

 

Sorry, haven't started the install process with my dongle so am unfamiliar with complete process; still in box. But would entertain a moderate swap charge if install is moderately easier to do with a new dongle.

 

I got tired of being on the late train and also tired of reading how good my truck should perform! Just pulled the trigger and pre ordered my tune.

 

I will be logging a 60 mile drive tomorrow, highway. Will report mpg and gear useage.

 

You're hand delivering and installing my tune? Well gee wiz, that's customer service.

 

@OVTune earlier you promised showing us how ECT would look compared to non-ECT. Can you detail what we can expect with ECT on?

In regards to towing, what are your plans to test? Will the tuning for ECT be geared toward towing since that is one of ECT’s primary purposes for the truck?

 

Appointment with an alternative fuels company looking to calibrate their entire fleet of toyotas.

I will be out of office most of the day tomorrow folks. Will check emails tomorrow evening
