Welcome to the forum.
The Reflash package is set up around one specific fuel and includes the developed calibration plus a log review to make sure everything looks right on your truck. For best power and safety, I prefer to tune around the octane you actually plan to run rather than compromise...
A tune does not necessarily mean the entire factory warranty is suddenly gone. Warranty claims are usually evaluated based on the issue at hand and whether Toyota believes a modification may have contributed to the failure.
This applies to other modifications too. An intake, intercooler...
If you have a pro, it needs a tune (looks like you have a Pro). If you don't, it should not cause a code without a tune. The tech explanation is a poor one because it does not bring any more air in at idle than the factory intake does. However, if the diameter of a tube is larger or smaller, it...
Next time it has an active code, see what the actual code number is. You can stop in at any auto parts store and have them read it for you if you don't have a code reader.
That's a cool read. I love the old school tinkerers who were breaking rules like that. This is so true too- and I've experienced it drag racing " any good race driver that ever had a meltdown, he'll tell you the car never ran as well in its whole life as it did just before it let go."
Session 19: Why Your Turbo Toyota Feels Better When the Weather Cools Off
We’ve finally had some rain here in New Mexico and morning temps are getting down into the 50s. Besides giving me an excuse to remind everyone that CAMTuning hoodies exist, this is also the time of year when people start...
Yes- the engine side is the same whether it's hybrid or not. An air leak is going to have the same negative impact on a hybrid as it would on a non-hybrid.
I've been seeing an increasing number of intake and charge-system leaks on the 4th Gen Tacoma and 6th Gen 4Runner, particularly after the installation of aftermarket intakes, intercoolers, and charge pipes.
This isn't specific to any one manufacturer. I've encountered leaks with just about...
Correct. I was going to respond the same. Parasitic drivetrain losses reduce whp and wtq. Manufacturers use crank hp and us in the aftermarket use whp because removing an engine for testing isn’t practical.
It's on a case-by-case basis, but my standard practice is to update for any reasonable changes: an intake or exhaus, charge pipes, etc., even if it's just verification of the install (although an adjustment should not be needed). If you decide to go larger turbo or make some major modifications...
COBB has now received CARB approval for the 2025+ i-FORCE MAX 4Runner Accessport, making the hybrid platform 50-state legal. COBB currently lists the hybrid 4Runner Accessport under CARB EO D-660-346.
That opens the door for California hybrid 4Runner owners who have been waiting to use the COBB...
Glad you’re liking the tune and intake. That color on your 4Runner is seriously one of my favorites too — looks really good.
Really appreciate the recommendation and you sharing the experience.
For the next 4 days only, through 9/8, COBB Accessports are 10% off, and I’m stacking an additional $100 off CAMTuning Custom Tuning when purchased with an Accessport.
That works out to $177 off the normal Accessport + Custom Tune package price.
This is the biggest discount I’ve offered on a...
That sounds like a different behavior than the cold 1-2 shift I’ve been working on.
On the hybrid trucks, reverse engagement can feel different depending on whether the engine is running or the truck is operating in EV mode because the hybrid system is contributing to how torque is being applied...
Yep, and thanks for taking the leap. You can reply directly to the email you received from my tuning support address when you placed the order. That’s the best place to go deeper on the technical side and keep everything tied to your 4Runner.
On the AFR question, I wouldn’t say it’s purely...
Good questions. This is the hybrid, so that low-RPM torque number isn’t coming entirely from the turbo. The electric motor is contributing quite a bit in that area too.
I’ve pushed my own development truck considerably harder than this calibration, and on these dyno pulls wastegate duty never...
Best downpipe available. The dyno sheet on their site is from my independent testing on my truck. I got the first one produced and have tuned loads of them. The fab work is better than anything else on the market.
