i know you are totally right in this, but i ask myself why there are really dyno pulls that shows more torque/hp using 4th or 5th gear instead of 2nd or 3rd... is it some error induced by the dyno itself that causes this?
because there is nothing i m aware of in the ecu tune that causes the engine to produce more torque witb higher gears

Hey! Hey! Hey! I'm the only one to publish scientific analysis with our cars! I tested the effects of weighted (flossy knob) versus lightweight (TRD) on the force requirements of the glenohumeral joint of those with rotator cuff tendonitis. My study showed that the lightweight actually required less initial force production in scapular protraction due to not having to move a 500g knob. After that, which is where the heavy weight matters, the 500g actually helped. But it would be irrelevant since it's that initial demand which further aggravates the shoulder joint. Boom.

5th gear is 1 to 1 or close to it. So if i wanted I could do a baseline in 4th, add my parts, run it in 5th and show an improvement.

So, I used the log file as an input to the Virtual Dyno app. I changed the tire diameter to my value, the fd ratio to a 3.727 value and changed the car weight to what you have normally in US (std weight of Limited MT model). Here is the output with an additional 80kg driver and the standard smoothing factor:




Anyone can cross-check the results with the attached Ecutek log file of my first post.

Result is 194 whp

Is this the Ecutek virtual dyno app?
If so although it isn't accurate, we use it as a pre-post modifications comparison and reference point during mapping, I have more than 40-50 cars dynoed this way on the same road usually on 4th-5th gear, never on 2nd-3rd.
Back to your "dyno" results you can't calculate acceleration using different parameters than the actual parameters of your car (has the app the correct BRZ parameters, CF, frontal area, gear ratios etc?) and should use >=4th gear.
More important weight should be from yours not from a heavier US car otherwise your figures are "optimistic", why not use then a US car final drive ratio to balance results?

For me it doesn't matter if it is 194 or 198, but that they are much higher of what a stock car would give. You cannot really attribute these figures on the catted +17 OEM header or the tune. Something else must contribute to these numbers!

But do you have a pull from before all the modifications using the same app? Those numbers mean nothing without a baseline!
