First, apologies for the long intro here. If you want, skip down to the dyno charts!
My name is Cameron, but everyone calls me Cam. For the last 18 years, I've been building and tuning Subarus ranging from 300-1100hp. While Subaru is where I started, I've recently shifted my interest back to off-road vehicles, which is where my love for cars began. My first car was a 1992 Jeep Cherokee, and I learned the hard way that water doesn't compress, which took a lot of overtime and long hours to fix during my college years.
Fast forward 25 years, and I've been spending much more time in the outdoors with my children, who are now between 12 and 21. We enjoy fishing, camping, running, and hunting all over the Southwest.
When I learned that Toyota had finally put a turbo engine in the Tacoma, it seemed fitting that I should get one as it fits my current lifestyle much better than a 1000whp Subaru WRX. When I learned that Cobb Tuning was going to support the new 2.4L turbo, I couldn't wait to get to tuning mine. I've been a Cobb Protuner for Subaru and Mitsubishi for well over a decade, and believe they offer the most complete and mature tuning solutions for the platforms that they support.
My approach is this- offer the best service and safe tuning solutions, while being available to my customers or potential customers. I'm eager to see where this new platform goes, and will be publishing results from my own personal development truck as well as customer trucks along the way. If any aftermarket parts companies want unbiased, real world dyno results, please reach out. I have unlimited access to our dynojet, and would be happy to help. If any Tacoma owners have questions about how tuning works, what the parameters are, and how to monitor them on the Accessport, please ask.
Now, on to the pics and dyno charts!
The day I brought it home. My first Tacoma, but one of many in a long line of turbo 4 cylinder vehicles.
Couple of fishing trips- who says you can't haul in a 5' bed?
Installing the Cobb Accessport- Exciting day. I've been a Cobb Protuner for over 12 years and believe their software is among the best anywhere.
Dyno day! Did some pulls on the stock file locked in 4th gear on 91, and then started custom tuning, focusing first on the awful oem fueling curve. Then kept at it until I was happy with the curves. The gains were really impressive and the truck feels phenomenal. The shifting is so much better with the transmission tuned as well. I remapped the throttle to make it much more responsive, which really changes the driver experience.
My 9 second WRX Wagon that I still have and drive, just because I know there are some Subaru people on the page!
