4Runner ECU/TCU Tuning Inquiry

Hello everyone,

more more and more people are starting to message us about tuning for 4Runners, as we have been doing tacomas for some time now.
We wanted to simply post an inquiry on the forum to see how much interest there would be.
here is some of what we have done for the 3rd gen tacoma:

Been looking at tunes-tuners.

 

I would think the demand here would be a lot less, simply because they drive just fine right off the lot. Tacoma's not so much. That's not to say they're won't be any interest. I'm sure there will be.

 

other companies out there tune ecu for $600-$800
get about 14ish+/-HP at wheels. thanks but no thanks.

 

I would love to get this ECU hacked if we can get any kind of gains out of it to make it worth it. These 4runners are sluggish

Mat, try posting here as well. I think you’ll get more response. Definetly interested in a tune!

 

I'm ready to buy your tune and have corresponded via your website a few times in anticipation.

There are a couple of others that have announced tunes (Vivid Racing & TuningTechFS) but based on your work with the Tacoma it looks like your tune is much more comprehensive. I'd like for you to make a commitment to getting a tune for the 4runner. (PLEASE!) I was excited from your first email response when you said "30-45 days or so" but then less optimistic from my second inquiry where the timeframe was "winter". Now your looking for feedback to gauge interest... if you had a tune that is like the Tacoma you will have a strong interest. You might also post on toyota-4runner.org - there's a number of questions about tunes popping up there also.


I'm ready and willing to go! I don't have access to a dyno otherwise I'd be in for some alpha testing. I'm definitely up for testing if you bypass the dyno desire.

 

not contesting a tune but how many of us are really taking our rigs to a drag race. a simple throttle response tool for less money will help make our 4s feel more alive.

^^This^^ I have done the same.

 

Started a thread on tuners, yes I am looking to buy one!

 

I guess I may be different but I'd prefer gears if my rig was sluggish

 

Very interested in your tune.

 

Different strokes for different folks.

 

Hey Mat,

I had the tune well (1.02-1.04) on my 2016 Taco and swore by it. I primarily used the 87 octane tune for MPGs and didn't really care about the power since most of my driving was between stoplights and a little on the highway.

I'd be interested but only if we can roll with something handheld or without the damn dongle and shit that came with the first several packages. I only have a mac so it got old real quick using Virtual Desktops to try and flash the truck.

I kid you not, a minimum of 2 hours constantly restarting the flash because it would error out.

A simple handheld device like you are offering for the Tacos would be clutch.

 

Mat:

If you were to produce this tune, do you have a timing? I’m going to spend money on a tune but I won’t wait much longer.

 

Watching this one

 

Interested. More power and remap the throttle. I'm tired of hearing my transmission shifting constantly.

 

NOOB here, but would be interested. Live close enough to Vivid Racing to have it done. They have a video and some hefty claims.

 

Lots of questions in this thread but very little answers. I have just purchased a 2018 4Runner and would like to have it tuned. I had my two previous Tahoe's tuned and it made a big difference in both performance and mpg. Where can I get my Runner tuned?

 

Bump

 

Interested

 

It will be interesting to see how much power can be gained but given the past and how hard it is to work with Toyotas, I'm guessing it won't be as much gain as other vehicles brands get. GM for one

 

Read the OVT thread over on TacomaWorld in the 3rd Gen section. People seem happy with Matt's results on cracking the Toyota ECU.

 

Was a previous owner of a 2017 Tacoma with the tune and it made that truck sing. Hoping it would improve the T4Rs 4.0. I'd be interested.

 

It's in the works....just not complete yet.

 

I have the ov tune (Naturally aspirated) on my 2010 Tacoma which has a 4.0 l without dual vvti. It doesn't do a lot imo. I dont think there will be much of a difference tuning the 4.0 4runner motor. If you are supercharged i think it will do a lot more.
