We are currently only supporting calibrations and tuning for the following Toyota ® vehicles:
2016-2023 Tacoma 3.5L V6 (AT/MT)
2005-2015 Tacoma 4.0L V6 (AT/MT)
2010-2023 4Runner
2008-2021 Land Cruiser (limited ECUs currently)
2007-2014 FJ (limited ECUs currently)
We directly license our tuning platform from OVTune (VFTuner) and work directly with MCBAutoTech with their 'Elite' calibrations. They don't throw a car on a dyno, find power, call it a day, and that's that. Every vehicle they design calibrations for they purchase, do extensive, sometimes year long rounds of development and testing, then they release support. They're ensure with their own R&D Vehicles, that what is provided is safe, efficient, and delivers.
In some cases, simply finding horsepower and torque is not the ultimate goal of a calibration. They seek out to find and fix any potential bugs, issues, or simply less than desirable traits of OEM calibrations. This includes things like throttle response, transmission shifting, and other beneficial parts of a complete calibration. The outcome: drivability improvements across the board! Having worked with over (800) owners to date we feel evolving to the every improved offerings available in the market are what owners deserve. Never settle for a calibration that's years old, we've already surpassed such lazy competition!
Further details can be provide but in general:
We work with you, the owner, by providing all services and tools with upfront pricing. No nickel and dimes or hidden fees. We just require your permission, your keys during the process, and your payment after test drive when you are 100% satisfied with the outcome.
The latest calibrations offer:
Custom calibrations tunes (and the VFTuner platform they are build from) are tested on our own vehicles! This can mean months of testing before we even get updates to utilize for our custom calibrations. The platform and offerings for many vehicles have been on the market for 6+ years now and with some vehicles being tuned for 100k+ miles now .
No, the calibrations cannot alter the speedometer/odometer. There are other aftermarket options available and we can certainly help provide full service to purchase, install, and calibrate such a device or just some general information if you would like to head the DIY route!
The tunes do not modify the OEM ID that is displayed when scanned. This means it reports back as the "stock" calibration would using the standard Toyota calibration tools. That said, in some markets (CA, CO) you many wish to purchase a cable and work with us on setup so you can reflash to stock if you ever need.
No, the custom calibrations is written to the vehicle and will remain in place until the ECU is replaced and/or the calibration is overwritten.
If any prior customer every takes their vehicle into the dealer and has their ECU updated for some factory update we will need to reflash the custom tune to re-apply. This is at no cost to you, we just need to coordinate the visit.
While the platform and calibrations are developed for off road and competition use, we have never been informed of any warranty concerns.
Should you every have a concern after tuning we provide free reversions to stock for all our customers. To date this has never been needed for any engine/transmission related warranty concern.
Like any aftermarket or modification, if it is proven to be the cause of a fault then your warranty could be voided. But, just because a tune is on the vehicle does not mean it is voided.
The tuning platform we use (VFTuner) indicates that any tunes produce can at no time be used on any emissions control vehicle that is used for anything other than off-road performance or competition use. ALL Ecu tunes, Calibrations, flashes, files, datalogs, or anything in regard to the tune, tuning process, changes, are for OFF-ROAD USE.
OUR TUNES AND FILES CANNOT BE USED IN ANY WAY TO CIRCUMVENT EMISSIONS REQUIREMENTS WHERE YOU LIVE FOR ANY REASON. THIS REGARDS ALL ENGINES, ALL ECUS, ALL FILES REGARDLESS OF CAR, MAKE, MODEL ETC. THE SERVICE CHARGE FOR TUNING IS SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUR ECU FOR TRACK AND OFF ROAD CONDITIONS ONLY.
- Any files or calibrations are developed only for the exact vehicle and drivetrain that it comes with from the factory.
- Calibrations do not modify or disable any emissions check, component, monitor
- calibrations cannot be modified to disable any reporting component
- calibrations cannot be modified or used for any vehicle except for the intended vehicle, exact ECM, and specifications that came from factory.
While we recommend you come to our location is Suffolk, VA we also service the greater Virginia area. Events occur each month based on interest owner requests. We regularly travel among the following other areas in Virginia:
Suffolk, Virginia Beach, Richmond, Charlottesville, Fredericksburg, Lynchburg, Roanoke
If you are interested in our services and are not in reasonable driving distance to one of these areas then please let us know as we also offer a network of partner resources as well as our own remote tuning options when you are not located within reasonable distance of anyone....or you just cannot sync up on a schedule to get your calibration applied.
No, and for that reason at this time the calibrations cannot alter the shift points and throttle settings while Adaptive (Radar) Cruise Control is enabled. While engaged, your vehicle will still function with factory settings.
Of you hold the cruise control button down for 3-5 seconds you will enter the Regular (Constant Speed) Cruise Control mode.
