    @OVTune the switching if you ecu is unsupported. What does that entail? Trading the handheld for the custom tuning software?

    Thanks for the update, OVTune. I would prefer the handheld solution, but am curious about the new system.

    as soon as the software is finished I will have more details,

    wanted to let everyone know we now have injector size scale tuning that can now size up new injectors in the ecu accurately.

    I'm working out the details but likely plan on offering a free exchange service for anyone who has a handheld and it is not working with their ECU. All you would need is a windows laptop and we will supply everything else.

    It will also allow for custom tuning. (I'm also working on getting datalog recording access on the handhelds so we can customize tunes for handheld owners.)

    Baby steps on this stuff because we have to wait for an outside company for handheld logging, but with our software it's all in house.

    When I retunr from Asia I will be picking up a 4.0L truck. Now that we have pretty much the entire ECU mapped out and can control practically everything... I think a nice bolt on Turbo kit and some E85 tuning is in the future. Probably make some Ethanol maps for the TRD supercharger on various pulleys as well.
    If you look at our 3.5 tacoma development, once we have a truck in hand our development process increases 1000x over what we can do right now.

    will have to see what transmission/year is the more popular option. Would love to hear anyone's opinions!

    If anyone knows of a quality bolt on turbo kit that already exists, please inform me!

    Since we have recently cracked deeper into this ECU now anything is possible.
    We know how to change load axis controls for higher load.. Injectors, Fuel compensation for airflow so much stuff. I don't get back to america until July so I will keep everyone updated.

    E85 and TRD SC sounds good. Even better would be controlling a 7th injector. News Break... There are not any bolt on turbo kits for the 4.0 All the tacoma turbos are custom built. STS had one but @Torspd can tell you first hand don’t buy that one

    Isn’t it dangerous to run E85 with out something to check the ratio of ethanol in the fuel, like a flex fuel sensor? Even if you bought a flex fuel setup I am not sure the stock ecu could ever understand that information?

    That’s a good question @Murphinator I definitely would not run e85 without a flex fuel sensor running properly.

    Yes, changes to shift tables and some more fuel tweaks. Reworking ignition compensations and some other things.
    Plan now is to find a stock or close to stock 4.0 truck to begin on when I return to the states.
    N/A > Supercharger with standard pulley > smaller pulleys > bigger injectors >Ethanol tuning. No worries on having a way to watch ethanol, Good friend of mine makes a very nice plug and play setup with bluetooth and you can watch ethanol content on your phone.
    Big thing with the S/C and changing pulleys is heat management more than anything else.
    After that I'll look into TurboSource building a bolt on EFR turbo kit and build the engine.
