Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

It's tricky... you actually go to the Engine category for the PID that gives you easy 1-6 shift readouts. It's called Status of the Shift Status or something along those lines and it will not require you to do math

 

Definitely better to know what your truck is doing... not what you think you feel it doing.

 

Or the opposite...

Definitely better to know your truck's not doing shit... behind your back, that you don't feel it doing.

 

Barely any misfires on way home, even cold start and full throttle (once warm). I got 5 at most on cold start.

Isn't an issue on my truck.

 

My truck misfired like hell on factory tune and tsb at medium load on the highway and at light load doing 45 on the back roads. Since I went to 1.05 91 running 93 knock on wood I haven't felt anything

 

Sounds like it!

 

Ten mile trip home from office. Only 3 missfires and they happen in first minute of cold start. 1.05 93

 

Thanks for the response. I thought in addition to turbos, maybe Mat was now selling an 8 speed AT transmission swap. That would be glorious. Even a 5 speed with logical gear ratios would be great.

 

Just flashed my 2017 MT. FEEL THESE NIPPLES!!!!!

 

I haven’t been on the board in forever and just logged on to find this... Did I read somewhere that v 1.05 will allow gears to be locked down to 1k RPM?

 

IIRC gear lock will be made available via custom tuning when Mat starts offering that. At the moment he is still getting the last of the 1.05 files sent out and catching up on tickets/orders.

 

What app is this? Looks great. Looking for a good one that plays nice with the Tacoma

 

I was about to sell my truck and spend a bunch of money getting a 6MT 2019 TRD OR.... after flashing 1.05 91 I have no problem keeping my truck... it actually drives like it’s supposed to now.
Thanks Mat!!!

Highway MPG has increased by 3-4 mpg, and city is slightly better. The extra low end power is definitely noticeable- Throttle response is perfect, and ECT mode actually does something now! The 87 tune wasn’t enough for me on the highway since I’m running 285’s, but man I really notice a huge difference on 91. No more erratic shifting and crap mpg’s at 65mph.

I bought this truck cash and would’ve had to finance the $10k difference between selling this one and buying a TRD OR. Really glad this tune met my expectations.

 

Ovtune kicks ass!

 

You need to familiarize yourself with the forums code of conduct and leave the political bullshit off of here.

I got 2 this morning total on a 17 mile commute on a 28 degree morning, on the TSB

 

When you go to flash the tune is when you decide. What octane did you have in the tank?

 

Just dependent on which file you choose to flash. I recommend 91, it is a good compromise for power and fuel cost.
91 tune/91 fuel

 

I’m trying to decide between 87 and 91.

91 will be most readily available in the areas I drive, but I’ve heard there is no difference in feeling/mpg between the two tunes so saving 20 cents per gallon on gas would be helpful.

 

If that is your concern, start with 87 and see if you like it.
