Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Self tuning does sound cool and one day he said he intends to make it available for folks with the flash manager. If he does then that’s another challenge for many but either way likely not for me without training. This guy is above and beyond as some would say he’s stupidly smart. I can’t even fathom what all he knows and understands and hopefully one day Toyota will hire him so they come off the line great

 

There are a few vocal members here that always seem be the ones complaining. For the most part, those of us that recognize what a challenge this is, very much appreciate Mat for all of his efforts over the past few years now. Trust me though, 2.0 (betas so far) have every one of the advances of the previous tunes, with none of the bad parts.

 

There is/will be an open tuning option with the handheld units.

 

I can believe it. But in time I’ll be trying prior tunes just to say I know the feeling of what’s different if I can even notice. Nothing like hands on experience rather than living vicariously through others.

And it's beautiful...

 

Here’s what I don’t get. The first 4 gears from a 2nd gen Tacoma and the first 4 gears of the 3rd gens are almost identical, why can’t the same shift logic be applied? From what a remember from my ‘11 tacoma and my ‘15 4Runner the only complaint I had was it would hold 4th for too long every once in a while. Those were the good ‘ol days

 

D.r.i.v.e.b.y.w.i.r.e..........
Merry Christmas!!!

Toyota changed all the shift logic in the third gen. It’s not a simple up down like it was in previous generations

No Mat said it wouldn't.

 

Merry Christmas TW family!

 

Confucius say women who lay face down on air plane have big crack up

 

When I shift in S mode I usually let the rpm climb to just above 2k and it works fine. The normal shifting from 3 to 4 to 5 is too fast especially going uphill so as soon as it shifts the engine just dies, requires a hard press on the accelerator and downshifts again. But, then it tries to shift up again repeating the same song and dance. I just learned to shift into S4 on hills and let it ride.

 

@OVTune Merry Christmas Matt!

 

Merry Christmas!

 

January?
