Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Guess they changed it, i asked some time ago. Im looking more forward to your twin turbo though tbh

 

Mat, sent alittle feedback via email from my drive today.

 

No tune yet. Here are my pre-tune #’s. On Falken 265/75 R16. I do this 200 mile trip twice a week from Rhode Island to Maine. It’s about 1 hour at 70 mph, 1 hour at 60 mph, and the last hour at 70.
Adjusting for revs per mile ...18.1/0.96 = 18.85 mpg. Not too bad.

 

Hang on meow, I think you might be using the wrong multiplier.

 

????

 

you're right. should be .98...tired brain. Still 18.5 mpg is still good for this drive.

 

I've also seen people using the 1.03 multiplier

 

That would work too depending on tire size difference. For me it would be closer to 1.02 as a multiplier. Divide by .98 or multiply by 1.02. The difference between 1.03 and 1.02 is minuscule.
I’ve been meaning to data log a gps files from my Garmin for actual miles traveled versus fuel used but I keep forgetting.

 

Bigger tire = more distance. So multiply by a # > 1.00.

 

Too early for math, coffee first

 

Or divide by a smaller one.

 

I had also heard what Mat said about the Magnusson sc being pushed to 2019. They've repeatedly pushed back their targeted release date so many times that we'll just have to wait and see.

Mat/OV probably is more likely to be releasing his TT kit sooner. And back in November I checked up on URD and they were looking for a 3rd gen 4cyl donor vehicle for a sc. Idk if they found one and completed R&D, but it only stands to reason that Gadget would move on to the 6cyl from there .

 

You're probably right. But turbos do have a special place in my heart and I do like my recent joke about Mat developing the Toyota 3.5L ecoboost lol

 

I pre-ordered on the 16th and was told ETA for shipping was 2 weeks.

 

I took a drive in South Houston today at 75MPH and barely got 14mpg.... no major mods either... I really hope 1.03 is the savior everyone claims it is.

 

75mph gets me 28mpg, don't change tires!

 

Mat was getting 22 highway and was holding 6th hear. It will fix it!

 

Doubtful, even though you're prob 4x2

 

And you had no issues using bootcamp to install the tune?

 

Don't try and call me out... I've posted numerous pictures of my mpg in numerous threads.

4x2 on the stock Michelin tires I get superb mileage.
