I saw a japanese video in youtube, they tested both brz and gr86 in track. the brz beats the gr86 and got better lap time. they explain the differences as follow: the brz is more stable and has better control which makes it better for time attack where the gr86 has faster throttle response and more over steer which makes it better for drifting.

The reason the power graphs look different is because the scales are different, not because the engine tuning differences result in the torque and power curves shifting in the RPM band and crossing at different points. Look at the relative magnitudes for torque and power at 7000 RPM on the two graphics. We know both cars make the same peak power at 7000 RPM. Since Power is Torque x Rotation speed, that means both cars are also making the same torque at 7000 RPM, but the Toyota's graph would lead you to believe it's making significantly more torque than the Subaru because the scales are different. If talking about power in horsepower and torque in lb-ft, the curves always cross at 5,252 RPM if you use the same Y axis scale for power and torque. If using power in kW and torque in N-m, the curves will always cross at 9,549 RPM if the Y axis scales are the same for torque and power. If the curves cross at some other RPM, it's because torque and power aren't being plotted on the same scale. The Toyota's torque scale starts at 100 N-m but their power scale starts at 0. Subaru's graphic doesn't have numbers on the Y axis, but based on the cross-over point at around 4,800 RPM and the and the relative magnitudes of the torque and power curves, my guess is that their torque and power scales both start at 0 and their power scale is 2x the torque scale. If one car feels peppier than the other, my guess is that it's due to a difference in throttle pedal calibration. Toyota may give more throttle opening earlier in the pedal. Or it's placebo effect.

The problem is that the doorknob reviewers don’t notice there is no y axis shown on the brz, and they don’t understand hp, torque, and what the curves really show. If subaru scaled the y axis differently (almost certainly since it doesn’t cross at 5252) then it won’t cross at the same point. That’s just an illusion of course. It would mean that at the point of crossover in the brz graph hp doesn’t equal torque since a different scale was used. That they try to use the graphs to validate their subjective impressions is pathetic. Any actual difference is likely due to throttle tuning - as many have pointed out. Wish they’d just own up to their mistakes.

Toyota has acknolodge that they tweaked the throttle body response to be less linear. The GR86 seems more spirited than the BRZ due to more throttle from less accelerator pedal travel. Some people seem to like this and others complain on the track that it is harder to achieve the right partial throttle with the GR86. I have seen no evidence from Subaru and Toyota that the have seperate engine tunes. Noting the time and cost required to meet regulatory requirements, I doubt that the extra money would be spent on this. It is more probable that both Subaru and Toyota colaborated to tune this FA24D, especially noting the mix of Subaru and Toyota technologies on this engine.

HP = (TQ * RPM) / 5252 Since HP is a calculated figure derived from TQ, they will always cross at 5252rpm. If Subaru‘a graph shows otherwise, it is either not a legitimate representation of the curves or it represents alternative units (eg Nm and KW) that cross at a different rpm because the formula is different.

The green is sweet. I know Todd likes Skittle colors, but the dark green gets my vote for appearance. As an autocrosser I'd be curious to see a run down from that perspective between the 86 and BRZ. I suspect the difference would be minimal but it would be interesting. When placing an order in October 2021 there was no way to know how the two would separate their version. It came down to the Toyota dealer no having any information and Subaru being able to give me an order and ETA. With today's supply chain I suspect there is very little cross shopping via test drives. We all take our guess, order, and hope.

A good friend of mine ordered an identical BRZ in December and took delivery of it in June. Before it even left the dealership, he installed coilovers, a brembo big brake kit front and rear, unequal length header, full exhaust, short throw shifter and a few JDM bits (he's a Subaru master tech). As a former owner of a '13 BRZ Limited with a few mods, he let me drive it on some local twisty roads while he road in the passenger seat. You guys...oh my God, I drove that car as hard as I felt comfortable on a public road...I scared him a little bit. The whole time, the car remained DEAD stable and planted, very neutral in corners and the tires wouldn't even squeal...it just refused to let go. And you're absolutely right about the overall feel of these cars, that BRZ felt so much more solid and "finished" than my '13 BRZ did. second-generation

I did, it’s not bad at all in person, tbh I like the shape of the vents and the bottom lip on the Subaru more, I’ll probably get a mesh grill when available, but the little shark teeth is a nice touch. Both are good looking cars. And suspension can be changed, ECU will take a bit of time it seems. Also the front plate on the Subaru is in worse place me thinks, mesh seems cleaner.

The problem is that these two doorknobs didn’t notice that the subaru doesn’t have the y axis scale, so they misinterpret it as showing a different crossover point. They don’t really understand torque, hp, and what the graphs show. So, they think the graphs show a difference- instead of most likely being scaled differently, and then they claim that backs up their subjective impression of a difference. It doesn’t back them up, and even if their impression is correct, it could easily be differences in throttle tuning - in fact that’s much more likely.

It feels a lot more refined and less gravelly and doesn’t sound like it hates being revved (unlike the FA20). The BRZ’s FA24 still has the slightest dip and you can just feel it in line with actual dashboard graph but the moment it crosses the Power curve (which in 2nd feels like half a second or less later) it takes off all the way to cutout. There is zero sensation of “falling in a hole” like you get with the FA20. With respect to the new BRZ’s suspension compared with the old one, there’s a fair bit more supplenesses to it which makes it less of a handful on bumpy backroads and a bit more liveable around town. It feels a bit like the old BRZ with a dash of ND MX5/Miata and way more structural stiffness than both of them. I think it’s an improvement. The new BRZ still works great on track out of the box too.

My son who has a 23 BRZ recently visited me, and he’s rarely going to concede anything, but the first time he got on it he immediately said that my GR 86 feels faster. The torque/ HP graph diff surprised me. There May actually be something to it. My opinion prior to seeing that, was that even these guys “fell” for the trickery of how Toyota putting most of the throttle in the first third of the pedal (which honestly I’m not so sure I like) . As it feels like it goes so willingly with little throttle. But the trickery there, is that the rest of the pedal, there isn’t much there. But if that curve showing the torque flattening out quicker in the BRZ , while the GR86 rises further may be creating a true feeling vs just trickery, or a combination of both.. What do you guys think??

Torque crossover curve, at different positions. Come again? They cross at 5252 rpm. Universally. One is a function of the other. So the graph is just a graph, and the axis may not match, but the actual real life curved should cross at 5252rpm, right?

Yes. The problem is that the doorknob reviewers don’t notice there is no y axis shown on the brz, and they don’t understand hp, torque, and what the curves really show. If subaru scaled the y axis differently (almost certainly since it doesn’t cross at 5252) then it won’t cross at the same point. That’s just an illusion of course. It would mean that at the point of crossover in the brz graph hp doesn’t equal torque since a different scale was used. That they try to use the graphs to validate their subjective impressions is pathetic. Any actual difference is likely due to throttle tuning - as many have pointed out.

So it sounds like you should buy the BRZ for the better suspension, then take it to your local Toyota dealer and have them disable the fake engine sound generator and reflash the ECU with the GR86 tune. This will give you the best dynamics of both cars. Then, depending on how you feel about the looks, you either live with the Subaru's front bumper and lack of rear spoiler, buy an aftermarket bumper and spoiler, or try to fit the Toyota front bumper and rear duck bill spoiler and paint them to match. Problem solved!

Those have at least grown on me a bit. The loss of the round tail lights though, I am shedding a tear, lol.

I own the BRZ and hear all this hype about the GR grill, but in person, I like the BRZ vent shape more and I like the bottom lip on the BRZ more. And the shark fins on the grill make it a little more aggressive than otherwise. If anything I’ll consider a mesh option if it releases, but I think the bigger grill on the GR changes the hood line a little too much, it makes it feel more 90’s JDM, yes, but we’re not in the 90’s lol. I think changing the bumper to the GR one is too much a stretch. Suspension & eventually ECU tuning will make these mechanically identical. And I already got the duckbill.

Toyota actually published a diagram of the changes they did to throttle mapping and it’s significantly less linear than the BRZ’s map. These guys have been fooled by the more aggressive map. I think there’s bugger all difference in tuning.

I’m typing this as a very longtime fan of the channel - I’ve put some tremendous consideration into this remark, so please consider that before dismissing me out of hand. I do not understand the content this video, and I think it misses the mark of what you’re attempting to do. I say this for multiple reasons - If this is a review, it is too gushing and self-aggrandizing. If this is a buyers guide/love letter, (ala Savagegeese’s ‘S2000 In Memorium) then it should be more clear about what this is. From the perspective of poor framing, it fails at both. If I examine this critically from the eye of a review, then it could be the most masturbatory review on this channel. If it’s a guide, then it’s fair, but it’s too much of a critique of the BRZ to be that. Im concerned that your purchase of a GT86 and clear enthusiasm for that car in this video is now going to shade all future videos and podcasts going forward. For example - Todd, in his matter of fact way, goes into reviewer mode with his choice of dialogue on the cars which sets a tone. Paul, doing the opposite, conflicts with Todd’s tone, and gushes about the car to the point of the viewer’s confusion. I still don’t know what this video is. Take this as constructive criticism. I enjoy your posts, videos, and podcasts, but lately the videos have been somewhat out of touch and too far into the realm of self-aggrandizement when it comes to the vehicles.

That doesn’t mean it always works. But notice that Todd even comments on Paul’s assessment, stating that Paul is overstating the differences. And the entire closing focuses on how close (and good) these cars are and the nuances being debated here. (Including that Paul prefers the BRZ steering).

The Subaru torque and horsepower graph has no numbers to show scale. The GR86 has a different scale for horsepower versus torque, and the numbers are right there to see. If you were to modify the horsepower scale of either graph, you could make it look identical to the other graph. You're not witnessing an intersecting horsepower and torque difference, your witnessing a chart crime.

I think the OEM ducktail in black would help tie in the black chin the BRZ has, otherwise it just looks so out of place with the body colored mirrors and non-black wheels

At 14:30, the analysis of the driving experience reminds me very much of how the ap2 s2000 was tuned more for comfort than the ap1 which was a more aggressive driving experience. BRZ ≈ AP2 S2000 GR86 ≈ AP1 S2000

I'm EXTREMELY skeptical that the "ECU Tune" is any different between the two. And likely any true differences are simply changes in throttle mapping. If you truly thought the GR was NOTICABLY faster, I'd like to see some drag races, some 0-60 times, 1/4 miles times, etc.

I had an FR-S for 10 years before trading in for a GR86. The GR86 is a substantial improvement over the first Gen. however, I admit that the first Gen was more fun. That paradox of “working hard” for that speed is something the second one doesn’t really have.

Sorry, but I drove the GR86 last Friday and the BRZ on Monday and I noticed none of this. Both cars feel significantly different than my current MY17 BRZ but no different from one another. Of course, if you want your BRZ's engine to feel like a GR86, just get it tuned at Toyota.

A little more value when you look at the upper end trim since BRZ doesn’t include it.

Guys, that different intersects in the graph has nothing to do with what you think it is, torque and HP are two different physic measures and that intersect means nothing, it can intersect anywhere depends on the value scales for torque and HP on the vertical axis...
@datacipher
@datacipher 2 жыл бұрын
The problem is that the doorknob reviewers don’t notice there is no y axis shown on the brz, and they don’t understand hp, torque, and what the curves really show. If subaru scaled the y axis differently (almost certainly since it doesn’t cross at 5252) then it won’t cross at the same point. That’s just an illusion of course. It would mean that at the point of crossover in the brz graph hp doesn’t equal torque since a different scale was used. Yep.. wish they’d man up and admit their mistake.
