OTT tune now available for the LC250

[perigree]

Wish the OTT guys were active here. Would be interested to hear what they needed to change for the full time 4wd setup in the LC250. I believe that's what took them longer than with the tacoma (according to some tacoma forum thread). E.g. Did they have to reduce output in some cases to protect the transfer case etc.

so how about that OTT tune folks?

Looks interesting and provides nice power gains at useful engine speeds.

If I had to speculate it’s not a driveline durability issue, probably not even a big difference due to the full time 4 wheel drive at least in engine tuning.

It’s just that each vehicle model has its own ECU programming, and OTT focused on the most common model first so the ROI is larger and realized more quickly. If 85% of truck T24A-FTS engines are bound for Tacoma engine bays, the smart money is to offer products, tuning, etc for those first.

He’s smarter than everyone else. Just ask him.

Everyone else is in the Dunning Kruger Effect zone, which is convenient for Seratti since he’s evidently (based on what we can see) a firm believer in trying to lump anyone who holds opposing views as illogical morons barely removed from animals.

This is the low hanging fruit for people who are intellectually lazy, or insecure in their ability to defend their own view points. Just wave the “Dunning Kruger Effect” magic wand and you can instantly win any argument! Which is really pretty ironic that the Dunning Kruger enthusiasts of the world might actually be those who are most accurately described by it.

Since when did this thread become about my ex wife?

Well if you would have just accepted that literally EVERYTHING was and is about your ex wife, you’d still be married.

It’s her universe the rest of us just live in it. At least according to her.

Yeah they said it is related to the differences in engine control.

Interesting, well in that case I hope the improvements are even better.

I sense some grains of truth discretely embedded in this post

I mentioned that on a FB group and got $#@% from two guys who are likely tune installers. Mainly because people in the group were using the Taco YT OTT video w/ dyno results as what the outcome would be. I'll wait for someone to dyno a LC with the tune. I get the impression that there are levels of the OTT tune, from mild, to mid, etc.

I'm honestly happy with my LC the way it is for what I use it for... and my other vehicle is a solid 2.5sec 0-60 faster, so... But, I can understand some people wanting a tune. The impressive thing out of OTT isn't the hybrid tune, it's the non-hybrid Taco tune, that is a good improvement.

Apparently they (OTT) can also tune your (or some, dunno if it'll work on the LC) your electrical system to be able to use an AGM battery, that is worth considering.

I’d be interested for the reduced gear hunting - but I’d be even more interested if Toyota would just issue a release.
