Jeremy brought me his 2015 Tacoma TRD Sport today. I tuned his son's 2005 a bit ago, and he was impressed with the outcome and wanted the same for his truck. Got him setup right with the YotaWerx Tuning Blackhawk Active Duty tune for naturally aspirated Tacomas! Thank you Jeremy for trusting ADK Tuners with your tuning needs! Don't hestitate to reach out if you need anything in the future, sir.

Do y'all have any tuners in or around San Antonio?

I used the tuner locator:
1) WhiteCyclone via FB, no reply.
2) Phich is no longer tuning.
3) Dieseltoys hasn't been active since July of 2023. (I did not send him a message.)

 

@mZiggy
@dieseltoys

 

WhiteCyclone (Josiah) is our SATX tuner. Just sent him a message about your post.

 

Thank y'all, I've heard back from Josiah.

 

Awesome! ...and for anyone NOT near a resource I've got you covered with remote tuning options if ever needed http://tidewatercustoms.com

 

Alex brought me his 2019 Tacoma 2.7L. We met up in Mount Laurel, NJ. He was happy with the more constant power throughout the gears.

 

@PapaRee I got my Kdmax pro tune about 2 years ago from someone in raleigh, NC(I don't think he does it anymore). Did the tune (at that time) come with voltage booster for battery??

 

If you requested it, yes.
If you didn’t request it, no.

 

Makes sense. I never requested it.

 

Also if you’re not sure, use a volt meter on the the batt terminal while engine is idling, it’ll show more than 14v. Other options are cig lighter plugs that has usb and volt meter, a fancy OBD fusion apps/dongle or Carista app…

 

I wanted to post the feedback from an owner who just completed the Blackhawk tune and trial period with his GX470. His truck runs the 4.7 V8 the powertrain and Doug Thorley setup. Here's his review from my Google page and some great pics of his setup!

 

Sorry if I missed it but, is there an update on how things are going to work forward with this acquisition?
For kdmax users, if a new version comes up, is there going to be a charge for DIYers?
Is the kdmax tune going to be replaced with a tune from yotawerx?

I personally know the team at yotawerx and I know that they won’t let us down but I was just wondering if there was an update.
I always communicated with @PapaRee for updates or changes on my tune. Are you now going to be part of the yotawerxs team or do we now need to contact some else?

 

I am part of the YotaWerx tuning group, but you will need to contact Mark @mZiggy or Christian @SoCalTacomas YotaWerx for files/updates.
You could PM them or email: YotaWerxTuning@gmail.com

 

Good afternoon from the YotaWerx Tuning Team.

Following the recent release of YotaWerx “Blackhawk 2.0” for the 3GTacoma 3.5L, we became aware of an issue with the calibration for the 6AT files. At this time, this issue has already been addressed with VFTuner, which entailed the changing of values within various tables on their own. This is something we first encountered with alternator output tables when applying AGM-profile adjustments.

Initially, we encountered issues that we determined to be limited to the 04C21 ECU ID (2021-23MY 6AT), and not present at a 100% rate of occurrence. We assumed the source of the issue lay with ourselves and began to work accordingly towards a solution. As time passed, the same issues were discovered on older ECU IDs, albeit at a significantly lower rate of occurrence. In the ensuing testing and investigations, we encountered evidence of VFTuner software modifying tables on its own (again, this is already addressed and no longer present in VFTuner). We also identified the extent of where these issues were presenting.

At this point, the tune was already broken down in several ways which granted the opportunity to offer a superior calibration option with effective and consistent power delivery, without losing out on the impressive power benefits displayed by the initial 2.0 release. This included multiple dyno sessions along with extensive road testing amongst partners and independent testers for evaluation of drivability and reliability.

On 20 April 2024, we got on the dyno with a 2022MY 3GTacoma 3.5L 6AT for final adjustments to the Tacoma 3.5L “Blackhawk 2.1” tune.

Like its predecessor, these BH2.1 numbers below were measured at the hub rather than the wheel, and all posted dynographs include relevant details regarding ambient conditions and other variables. Most notably, these runs were all conducted with 91-octane and in 4th gear for a true 1:1 gear ratio. Due to using a hub-dyno, the vehicle’s tire size is removed as a variable.

This dynograph serves to display a comparison of Blackhawk 2.0 vs 2.1, demonstrating that we successfully achieved our goal of not compromising with a loss of the desired power that this calibration is well known for.


04C21 6AT – Blackhawk 2.0 vs 2.1; 91-octane





YotaWerx Tuning extends our gratitude and appreciation to VFTuner for the dedicated support and technology available to us, making it feasible to provide a superb example of using VFTuner tuning software to bring excellence in tuning on this platform to the community.

 

I've made the jump to Blackhawk 2.1 Active Duty last night. So far I am enjoying it. Maintains momentum when accelerating around town and getting on the freeway.

I can't directly compare it to KDMAX 10 since I was trying out OTT for the past 4k~ miles, but I have to say, its a breath of fresh air coming from OTT .

 

Thanks for the feedback brother! Glad you are liking it!
