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...
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...
Great topic and good discussion. RPM is your friend on a small engine like this when it is needing to do a lot of work. Yes, it generates a good amount of heat, but it also moves more coolant and oil. At very low RPM and high load, you are still building a lot of heat because the turbo will be...
For typical bolt ons- intake, intercooler, downpipe, etc, I do not charge for future revisions. If you do a larger change like a new turbo, or want to tune on a different fuel type, there is a small retune fee, usually $199.
Lots of great discussion here. I have tuned a number of TRD Pros on the dyno, but none with an aftermarket intake. Judging by the power that they make relative to other hybrids or non-hybrids, I can't make a conclusive claim about whether or not the intake is a factor. I would assume that the...
Good news for the hybrid Tacoma crowd — COBB has now received CARB approval for the i-FORCE MAX platform, which means Accessport tuning is now available for customers in all 50 states.
That also means I can now support California customers with the same CAMTuning process I’ve been using on the...
This one is over built for the $. I bought one and liked it so much, I got another for my buddy. Their site doesn't have it in stock but others sellers do.

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...
Great working with you- and even though you're only on the other side of the mountain from me, remote tuning was the easier process. Maybe we can get it on the dyno some time.
If you're an existing customer, just respond to one of our email conversations. If you've never had me tune the truck, I can explain the whole tuning process to you and you can make a decision from there.
The issue is less common on the non-hybrid although my personal truck experiences it sometimes. I plan to apply the same changes to my truck. I expect it will respond the same.
Thanks- you’re on the list of completed tunes I planned to update today. This change takes it one step further than what I had already done on your truck. I’ll upload a new map for you- keep an eye on your email.
One behavior I have continued to work on with the hybrid Tacoma and 4Runner is the hard first 1–2 shift after the vehicle has been sitting.
Owners describe it in different ways: a jolt, thump, surge, or unusually firm shift. The common pattern is that it happens on the first drive of the day...
Thanks for catching that! I had removed it while Cobb was doing their CARB EO, and put it back for my bundle that includes a tune, but did not put it back for the AP only. It's fixed now.
True- it's not that it has 'too much air', it's that it being reported to the ecu incorrectly. Smaller diameter maf housing over reports the amount of air entering the engine, and you end up with very negative fuel trims and miscalculated load/torque. I've tuned a bunch of non-Pro with the Pro...
Tundra and GX550 support have been added by Cobb. I purchased a 3rd Gen Tundra (still have the Tacoma) and am impressed with how well it responds to tuning.
