Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Ok I’m in a tough spot. Went to lake with 4 gas stations on the way and none have premium. Will regular non ethanol gas be ok to get me home without any issues in case I run out rather than premium? Thanks

 

Seems you have no choice!
I have run 89 ethanol-free in a pinch without any noticeable ill effects. Just keep your foot out of the gas as much as possible.

 

Octane booster? Got to have those available

 

Good idea ty

 

Even if you do lower octane. Limp it slowly to a Walmart or parts store and get some there. Should be good to go

 

What’s the danger of running regular?

 

It’s a little safer than running irregular

 

If you running the beta it’s octane learning so there’s no issue in what you run.

 

You can leave if you dont like the posts. ✌

 

Wow. You dont say.

 

If you're running a higher octane tune...it won't run properly. Trucks gonna drive like dog shit

 

-2 months? So march?

 

If you are running the higher octane tune, with low octane fuel, you risk detonation, pinging etc. 2.0 is octane learning, it will dumb down to protect your engine but run less optimal.

 

I would want to confirm that the latest beta is octane learning

 

I dont think Octane learning is in these betas. I think its only gonna be on the final 2.0 release

 

Give or take 2 months.

 

Pretty sure octane learning (OL)is in the filename. Check filename to confirm

 

Exceptionally long with butt-dyno "tester"...

 

If I say my Piece has a length of 7", +/- .5", it means it could be 6.5" or 7.5". A more accurate statement would have been ~2 months. But it's semantics at this point. WGAF!

 

Please close this thread, burn it, sweep up ashes, have them taken to one of the more remote/difficult Moab trails (one that most 3rd gen Tacos can't go), throw the ashes to the wind, and never speak of this again.


This is not directed at OVTune/Mat - tune(s) have been great - this thread is a mess.
