Well, for my Xmas present to myself, I think I'm take a trip to the dyno.. It's a new place, local.. 60 bucks for three rounds, or 90 bucks for 5 hours, 5 full runs and some more extras.. I was wondering:

Is it possible to tune (adjust timing and A/F ratio etc.) a '99 Tacoma 3.4l without a chip or plug-and-play device, like Unichip?

I don't know if I'm willing to pay a 1000 bucks just to be able to tune my N/A truck..

If not, I might just do it for fun to see where my truck is at power-wise. It IS only 60 bucks, and it sounds like it would be fun..

 

You're not going to be able to tune anything. Even with a plug and play device you'll have a hard time telling the ECU to stop being stubborn. Save yourself $30

 

They actually have mechanics there that help and stuff...haha

 

why go through the anguish, your just gonna cry!

 

I am still glad I have my 3.4l
It's enough power for me!!

 

I know its not a powerhouse, but I would like to know where it sits.. and neither of you have answered my question(s).. haha.

 

I must've misunderstood your question then. You were asking if you would be able to tune your N/A truck.

Then you asked about what chips might do.

Lastly, you wanted us to address your concern about spending too much money for possibly no result, to which I said:

Or should've I said $1030?

 

he did!

if your gonna do it, get the cheapest deal. run it to get your average or however they compute it and post up. just take the tissue paper!

 

I was assuming you were being a smart-ass (no offense) :pat:

 

None taken, I guess I am just in that mood today But that's the truth

 

i wouldint mine seeing what mine does im thinking 208hp ?
