Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

If “throttle by wire feel” means the same as cabled throttle, like my 2003 Tacoma had, then yes you are correct. It was a single cab 4-banger I lifted and got extended fabtech spindels and 31” tires. Had exhaust, intake, etc. when you stomped that thing went and I knew exactly what the vehicle was going to do. I miss that truck. Many of my younger years memories spent in that little mini taco.

 

Never figured @Hank Heel as a pessimist.

 

Mat's last post fills me with confidence!

 

Am I only the only one confused partially on this. Why don’t you want the throttle to open more?

 

You WANT it to open more. As it stands though it does not open more when it should

 

Oh...he’s talking about current stock tune and tables. I thought he was talking about 1.05

 

I don't think the turbo is on anymore

 

I’m a functioning pessimist, get it right...

Rather than deluded optimist am I right?

 

This.

 

That's exactly what I mean

 

Matt, for OffRoad 4x4 trucks AT transmission, is it possible to make it so when you are off the throttle, coasting to a stop (like 15mph to 0) the transmission does not downshift? In these model trucks, allegedly because the brakes are tied to the ECU (crawl feature) and go thru the ECU (not a direct peddle to pad line) it is very difficult to make a 'smooth' stop (this was discussed in other threads) - we think because the engine RPM differences (changing due to downshifting) make the vacuum change, therefor making the brake sensitivity change, causing driver to constantly try to compensate the brake peddle pressure. Anyway, know you are busy and I DO NOT WANT TO DELAY 1.05, so if easy yeah, if not, next release. thanks for considering it (or if anyone else has this truck and managed to fix this annoyance, LMK!)

 

HELLS BELLS BABY!!!! Bring this shit on ,,,

 

You don’t have a vacuum booster in your truck. Your truck has a different system.

 

doesn't surprise me - whatever that system is however, it makes it real hard to stop smoothly! No worries, it's keep me challenged at every red light

 

Oh, for Matt - disregard my thoughts on the downshifting - I guess the idea of fixing the smooth breaking dies here, like it died a long time ago in other threads. oh well, but if anyone can figure out how to brake smooth on these things gets my sincere appreciation!

 

I've never had a problem with smooth braking

 

I notice it. I'm used to applying brake in a normal manner, but then backing off to next to no brake pressure as I near the stop. It's a technique I use in the planes I fly for a living; if done right, passengers never know you stopped.

I can't do that in this truck.

 

I do the same thing, can't explain it

 

1.03 had much better braking to a stop, less harshness. Came back in 1.04 for me

 

Ditto.
