    The codes can be eliminated so a block off plate would work.



    Also for the transmission we can control over shifting, downshifting, etc

    awesome I am in Vista. very close.



    For everyone else, I'm working on the TRD version calibration, will have some nice things to show you guys this week on it.

    TRD calibration with a custom tune would be perfect setup for a turbo build on these trucks.

    we're going to have a lot of fun with these ecus ;)

    A sneak peak..
    here is the map size difference with the extended scale on the TRD. Just like the Tundra.
    This makes fine tuning a blast on these trucks.

    Top is TRD extended scale, bottom is stock N/A.

    I love these ECUs..... it's 99% the same logic as lexus. Which I spent all of 2016 figuring our ^_^.

    TRD calibration is just for standalone only or both? Being you said custom tune as well, I'm leaning more towards this being for self tune, correct?

    @OVTune can you confirm if on the hand held you will have a tune for supercharger + mods?

    Awesome I can’t wait for this! Do you have the ecu #’s for a 14 automatic already? If not I can try to see if I can get a pic with the numbers, hopefully I won’t have to unplug it and pull it out to do that

    Which means its a one time deal and can't be reverted back or 1 of 5 tunes that can be installed on the standalone?

    not sure I understand. the ECU can be flashed 100+ times. So we can create a CUSTOM tune based on a stock TRD file. The same as we did for the 2016+


    what standalone? This is for tuning the STOCK ECM / ECU

    Maybe I'm saying it wrong. I thought when Toyota flashes for TRD SC, it cannot be reversed or changed? You're TRD calibration bypasses that? And by standalone, I mean having a handheld rather than self tune using software.

    That used to be the case before these ECUs were tunable. Now that they are tuneable we can do whatever we want. I could put a toyota Camry file on this ECU if I wanted.

    Ah, makes sense. Tempting, but I'll stick with self tuning lol I had a slight set back but I should be purchasing soon. My garage is filled with suspension and other parts. Can't wait.

    Speaking of Lexus, and a little off topic, id like to give you guys mad props for the IS350 Stage rally car that you guys tuned, that thing is a beast. And it sounds amazing.

    I have the original ECU from my 2013 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 V6 6MT TRD OR ready for shipment. I'd love the ability to flash it for Magnuson S/C, Magnuson S/C with 2.85" pulley, and back to stock. Because it was previously flashed for the Spark Knock TSB, it wouldn't take the TRD flash, so it's a SPARE. (No need for rush shipments - you can play with it for a while, if that helps.)

    Just need your shipping address...
