Time will tell as we start to find the limits. My bet is that HPFP and either DI or port injector upgrades will be needed if we start to chase ~500whp.
Cobb released a big update today, and the 2 key items worth noting are:
1. Full MAF scaling control. This means we can now tune for TRD Pro intakes on non-pro trucks, and aftermarket intakes can be added to the Pro or Trailhunter. This is huge.
2. Transmission temperature has been added as an...
Cobb's latest update that was released yesterday added transmission temperature to the available gauges on the Accessport. This is something that had been long anticipated.
1-year update on the truck.
Just crossed 11,500 miles. Still my daily and it gets driven and logged constantly.
This has also been my main test platform over the last year. A lot of dyno time, a lot of back-to-back testing, and a lot of real-world miles to validate changes instead of just...
Hey Nick- Thanks for asking, because this is often misunderstood.
They’re not separate ECUs or totally separate tunes. It’s one calibration with multiple tables the truck switches between based on mode. They aren't modifies, but dedicated tables.
Some things are shared, some are...
There isn't an off the shelf dynamic system available yet. I understand there are some folks that have it working on ECUTek, and I expect Cobb will pursue it eventually. I said port injection because that's the easy one to swap, and it will take them releasing some aftermarket DI injectors...
On these trucks, it’s not just a matter of adding a sensor and calling it flex fuel. You still need a calibration that’s designed for ethanol content, whether that’s a fixed blend like E30 or a true flex fuel setup that can adjust dynamically. For what we’re doing here, E30 is a controlled mix...
So far so good. We have used it on a hunting trip where we would have had to drive at least an hour to get service. It was nice being able to call home. Also used it on a road trip. One thing there- you have to disconnect from CarPlay to connect to WiFi.
Thanks Brandon. Some background for those of you who are unfamiliar with E30. The number after the E describes the percentage of ethanol versus gasoline in the mixture. Normal gasoline is E10 and in some places E15. E30 gives you a good balance between gasoline miles per gallon and the octane...
COBB’s 10% sale ends 3/30. That applies to Accessports and packages, so it’s a solid amount off.
For anyone new here, I’m tuning all of these with the Accessport. Everything is based on data from your truck—whether it’s a reflash or full custom with revisions, I’m reviewing logs on every...
That came out really good. I have a few of those cases that I use around the garage and for firearms but I haven't considered mounting one permanently on my roof. I think I probably know the answer to the question but what is the wind noise like?
I wouldn't try to sway you either direction. I have a non-hybrid but have driven a bunch of hybrids. One thing that you may not consider is that the hybrid is much heavier and you lose the under-seat storage
Session 12: Airflow Numbers, Intakes, and Why Some Gains Don’t Stick
On a MAF (mass air flow) -based system, airflow is not directly measured mass in a perfect sense—it’s calculated based on what the sensor reports and how it’s calibrated. Change the housing, change how air passes over the...
Had the opportunity to get a 2026 4Runner TRD Sport on our dyno.
Truck is bone stock, ~3,000 miles, running 86 octane.
For context, I have extensive remote tuning experience with this platform, and have many Tacomas on our dyno, both gas and hybrid.
This was a great opportunity to have a...
I believe it. I just got off the dyno with a brand new 4Runner that had 86 octane in it and it baselined roughly 15 horsepower lower than I typically see with 91 on a stock truck
I’ve had a solid wave of orders come through this week, so if you’ve been thinking about it, I wouldn’t wait too long on this one.
For anyone new to the process: it’s all remote. You flash a base map, send logs, and I refine it specifically for your truck, fuel, and setup. No generic files.
If...
