Tacoma - OVTUNE - VFTUNER - Update Info and Original Development

Probably the first person I've seen use a completely separate computer just for instructions

 

I also hooked up a trickle charger to the truck. Just in case. The PCM software shows battery voltage!

 

rofl, this is hilarious.

Any options to work with developer on a handheld unit so this can all be done independently without a computer/key?

 

All his other shit is ate up with midget porn.

 

Ha it's my iPad!

 

Will read my ecu at lunch. The boss man probably doesn't allow tuning on the clock.

 

That's a great idea when the time comes. Smart

 

I'd hate to accidently mess up the truck because of something simple

 

It is...
I'll probably do the same; techstream will live inside too.

 

Yeah man, spec u clears not a little bit but a LOT better than stock pipes for skids. Overall the entire pipe is moved up an inch or two, but In the middle near the t case, transmission, driveshaft area clearance is about 4" better where the skids would go. Mine has about 6" between where my 4xInnovations skid rests and where the two sides of the y pipe run under the truck, it's nuta

 

We will be making the process easier on all of our next shipments. We will be pre-registering each dongle so that you can just activate the Reflash software directly. Skips all the dongle activation steps.


handhelds may be an option in the future but not at this time.

 

@Iceman_JD
Nice avatar, still have my Arai Hayden Wired(Red) helmet. Sold off the RC51 long long ago.

 

That would be awesome

 

No confidence passing? I had to pass 3 trucks pulling trailers. I was doing about 45 mph, punched it and was doing over 90 when I got around them. It seems that my truck will hit 6000 rpms without having to floor it.

 

I finished the read and sent the data to @OVTune now I'm just refreshing my email over and over

For anyone interested in how long this stuff takes:

11:18 received guardent dongle license from OVTune

11:21 Answer email sent to OVtune

11:22 final key received from OVtune

11:45 Start ECU read

11:57 Complete ECU read

11:59 Start Auto transmission read

12:08 Complete Transmission read

12:10 Data emailed to OVtune

 

It's kind of a stressful process but worth the wait guys!

 

So here's a question. I read through the last 30 pages and have only seen 3 people post that their fuel economy dropped about 2 mpg. What causes this? Is it possible to map a tune that offers the increased throttle sensitivity and better shifting while maintaining the fuel economy that we presently see? I don't really care for the added horsepower or torque. The price tag would be worth it to me if I could continue to run 87 and continue to get my 18 mpg but have increased throttle and shifting feedback

 

It drives terrible stock so that we can eek out a couple MPG. To make it not drive like ass, prepare for a minor loss in MPG.

 

More power = more fuel

 

More gas, faster response = less mpg. Let's all be realistic
