VF tuning collaboration and BS

If I hold longer at these conditions below, the TC temp is climbing really fast. The pan temperature is steady.
Once I hit TC temp 220°for a few seconds.
If I back out of the accelerator a bit, SLU solenoids is turning On and TC temp is starting going down.

 

Got a hook up from Kreg. He's my hero!

 

Did some comparing. This is the acceleration table I am going to be using from now on.

 

Here is a cruiser v3 for 04b33, 5.29 gears, 35's, AGM battery, speed updated.
I also lowered the ACIS to 3300 to try it out.

Also has the dump tube fix for no CEL.
Pretty much a custom tune for my truck, but any truck with 04b33, can jump on it and change the gear sizes quick/ tire and agm quick.

 

Keep us updated on the ACIS!

 

gonna go test it out.

 

What up gents! Been a minute, but I'm back in action after a little hiatus over the holiday and dealing with some family crap.

So I've been playing with my tune more since getting the 5.29's put in to try to get it just where I like it, plus hoping to get some my damn MPGs back (dropped from ~18 to about ~13.5 with the 5.29s).

One thing I started doing for the tunes I do for other people is giving them a choice for accelerator feel, on a 1-5 scale. Basically took a stock accelerator map, and what I would consider a solid (but still drivable, closer to linear) '5' on the scale, and just interpolated the level 2, 3 and 4 parameters from those endpoints in excel. Made it real easy when my buddy told me he wanted a '5' and a week or two later came back and was like, nah bro, I think I need a 3. Literally just cut and paste. Now it'll have a similar curvature but less aggressive. Just made my life easier to accommodate the people I meet.

I'm definitely excited to see what you guys have been up to, just downloaded y'alls latest, and since I had some theories I wanted to test with the Airload maps (but still haven't flashed yet), I'm REAL curious to see how my map compares to the new 04B33 one that Toyota did.

 

That’s what I did ...changed the last two values to zero and my light hasn’t come back on with any tune I modify.

 

What is the difference and why is it so much better?

 

2.0 table is flatter.
I like it better than the linear tune. Mat tuned the values like that for a reason. So when people are upping the values on the shift points and which the acceleration table should also be adjusted likewise.

 

What 2.0 map has these numbers? I looked at 04b04 ecu tunes and they are different did you modify yours?

 

Torque converter setting seem goofy on that latest revision. Seems like it immediately wants to lock up in 5th. Throttle is twitchy right off the bat like the other MW tunes. What's your's driving like on your latest file?

 

Seemed pretty good. I agree with the throttle. It is twitchy.
I’ll have to see about the TC changes. I think that’s for MPG.

Check this @PapaRee and @Mooseditty17

 

33 2.0.

 

I'm waiting on credits to unlock so I can implement what I did on 04b31. I had huge improvements in drivablity by allowing 4th gear and 5th gear to unlock while accelerating and before downshifting. 4th pulls like a train with the 5.29s and unlocked tc

 

Can I just copy and paste to the File?

 

I’ll shoot you a PM about this

 

Yep!

 

Thanks! I'll give it a try!

 

@PapaRee Just finished up about 650 KMs on Da Cruiser 3. This was mostly highway driving to the mountains and up one of the tallest mountain passes in Canada through mixed snow/wind/cold temperatures. Overall tune is very good. Thanks for all your work on this!

Here are some of my findings:
- L/100KM are up. I'm at 12.7
- 2-1 downshift clunk is improved, not completely gone but very much improved
- Holding gear is generally good. Any wind or incline will push me out of 5th, my truck definitely doesn't hold 6th at all unless the road is flat, wind is zero, and I'm doing greater than 110 KPH. Further steeper inclines will push me into 4th and I only had a couple pushes into 3rd.
- Truck is peppy around town
- The lambda change between V2 and V3 definitely helped smooth shifting.

Couple weird things (these could be truck anomalies)
- After accelerating hard in 1st and having to let off the gas it felt like some donkey kicked the back of the truck. This was a one off, and may just be due to tune settling.
- Gear hang in 4th. Generally the transition after climbing inclines is good, but sometimes after high engine load situations in 4th I'm getting hang. I have to completely let off the throttle to get the downshift.
- Gear hang in 2nd. This I can mostly chalk up to driving speed. At around 25-30 KPH the truck is jittery as I find its hanging out it 2nd and the throttle is very touchy. We have school zones that require this speed and I just have to watch the throttle as any input at this speed makes the truck lurch and jump around.

About my truck:
- 2017 Tacoma, 100,000 KMs
- 255/75/17 tires
- 2" lift
