Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

If your that worried about .5 mpg you should probably trade your taco in on a Prius

 

So if I buy this, do I also have to buy a new laptop?

 

That depends..... do you have a laptop currently? Check the specs on his website for operating system requirements

 

We have a 10yr old laptop running Win10 that lives for the tune and to do taxes. It takes 10min to boot and get Toyota Flash up. It works just fine.

All you need is something basic to do the deed and not die mid-flash.

 

Note that @OVTune is working on the possibility of calibrating the speedo for different tire sizes.

 

Ok, thanks

 

I’m all stock so I have no clue lol.

 

I got all of my Taco armor installed this week and I was expecting to see 16mpg but i got over 20 in my normal commute. Added mud tires and 500lbs of extra weight with no change in day to day mpg?

Noticed that the truck has a hard time smoothly starting off the line now, kinda jumps as i have to press the pedal harder. Gradual inclines are worse too, had to switch to S mode with ECT today to get it going smoothly. 30 mile commute with moderate traffic, 20mpg, Im stoked! What else you got OVTune?

 

I used a GPS app to see what my actual speed was, then i took the speedometer value and divided it by the actual value and the input the percent difference using the hypertech module. So speedo at 60/ actual 63 = 5% difference

 

Two questions:

The tune says “for off road only”, but I see guys posting about their commute. Is it truly for off road only or can this be driven in the street?

Also, when updates come out, do you have to buy them or are they free with initial purchase of tune?

 

Off road only is to cover the company's ass.
The tune has passed emissions tests.
Dealers can't detect it.
Updates are free.

 

Which tool do you use for this?

 

I believe that's the Fuelly app.

 

I log everything with the fuelly app

http://www.fuelly.com

from the website you can export the data and do lots of other stuff.

 

Pulled the trigger this morning. Software downloaded’ registration sent, now I wait. Order#4415

tks for the tip, for others ecu id works well and can download the tunes except for ECU 2017 04B23-AT, can you try to download it?

 

still waiting, can`t download it

 

Its a 2017 Edicion Especial 4x4, here is the top line Tacoma, no Pro for Mexico .... ECU ID 04B23-AT

I know all 4 doors Tacomas are build in Mexico but with different ECU.

 

I thought mine was built in the good ole US of A. Texas to be specific.
