OFT quirk
I just got my OFT and immediately flashed their newest stage 1 tune. Aside from small things in my signature, I haven't done any mods.
This weird quirk happens at 4k. There is a hiss from the engine, sounds similar to a blow off valve letting out a small amount of pressure. I can make it happen consistently when over ~50% throttle. Does anyone else have this issue or can explain it? Sent from my Nook HD using Tapatalk |

okay, thanks for the fast response!
You wouldn't mind explaining why such aggressive timing at 4k? is it for the dip? |

As far as valve timing goes, it's hard to differentiate between "aggressive" or not. It's not like ignition timing in that respect. In the case is the OTS maps, valve timing goes through a rather large swing to minimize the torque dip. With the stock VVT mapping, the change is more gradual making it harder to perceive.

Is there any way to tune it out? Honestly I'd rather deal with the dip more than have my car sound like it's going to blow.

The first time I heard the sound I was alarmed --- maybe my intake covers it up just enough but I feel like I'm the only one who likes it.

In reference to the tip-in knock thread posted prior, this noise has NOTHING to do with knock. Knock sounds completely different, and for anyone who spent significant time around K-series, 2zz or other motors that are high comp and as sensitive to fuel grade as ours are, you'd know the difference. I am astounded sometimes by the amount of mechanical hypochondriacs here. Just drive it and enjoy it Sent from my XT1056 using Tapatalk

There is a degree of truth to that. I can hear a knock from 40 feet away. But my ears completely ignore the intake noise at 4000rpm because I've heard it before in so many cars, that it falls into the list of acceptable and safe noises |
