in the manga, they installed a FRP tailgate with acrylic windows, so the 5th stage variant should be just a bit lighter

[@StaticsMan]

Wait I just had a thought, the 5th stage variant also came with a roll cage though, so I think some of the weight savings would be lost because of that. Truthfully I don’t think I even touched the weight with these variants but thank you for mentioning it!

[@ReaperAce16]

Fujiwara's vehicle's gear configuration and suspension were set according to the course, his engine characteristics were set according to the opponent he was facing, 4th stage when he was going against Joshima, his car's true potential was unlocked, making maximum power at 11k rpms, in final stage, his car made maximum power at 11k rpms, but ryosuke strictly instructed him to stay at 9k rpms cuz if didn't, he'll damage the engine sooner cuz the rev limiter was removed and he told him to use the high revolution zone only when needed, shinji isn't the fastes opponent of takumi, it was Joshima, but shinji was the toughest opponent for takumi, as he knew the brake points and the fastest lines perfectly, and it was very hard to copy those points for funiwara, cuz he was barely able to get the experience on the course. So its hard to get exact gear config and engine characteristics of hiscar because his car isn't a perfect battle machine and needs serious tuning to compete on different course, but we can take what was used the most (this is my observations of his car in different races)

[@StaticsMan]

I think you are correct and I didn't mention it in the video but basically what I noticed through my hours of testing this car over the summer was there was a ton of conflicting data with the car. So what I ended up doing was just taking stuff that was very clearly shown and kind of made it an average for all courses (mainly Akina) so that the car can be raced on most if not all mountain passes. I think for what it's worth I made the car pretty accurate to the story (within reason).

[@ReaperAce16]

@@StaticsMan yes, according to the information provided, what you've made is very good and accurate

[@Takahashi_Kouta]

Shinji was toughest because he was gentle with tires. Basically, Takumi faced the same opposition as his previous rivals. He had lighter car and thus was able to bring more speed into the corners. Shinji, from his side, had tried to maintain stable average speed with less braking and accelerations. This, and absense of drift helped him to save tires, while Takumi started to struggle midrace. Also, before battle with Shinji Ryosuke limited power output on 9k. Engine was able to rev higher but power will not increase so Takumi had almost the same engine as Shinji but with hidden "extention for gear". As we remember, before 9k this engine is not powerful at all and "even worse than old engine", after engine swap Takumi could not understand why people around so excited about it. So Takumi faced fast and more accurate driver on almost the same car. Takumi had enough expirience on this course and more expirience in racing than Shinji, Takumi won cuz he was able to break the rhythm of Shinji and put him into uncomfortable for him position of racing side by side. After engine blow Shinji was lost also by absence of expirience and Project D fairly mentioned this after the race. But about changing of gears you're right, different gearsets for different tracks.

[@ReaperAce16]

​@@Takahashi_KoutaI think u forgot that the mid range torque was increased, which was definitely 215+ hp, when he was first got the engine, it wasn't tuned like that, it was made so that max hp which was 255 considering the engine was inspired by Akira iid's ae86's group a 4age at 11k rpms, ryosuke later changed the characteristics of his car, to match the opponent's car, he mainly used 11k rpms in most of the project d races, but it was fifth stage when he mainly used the max power at 9krpms, and other range is for the acceleration, also, Takumi drives exactly like shinji, at akina, but faster and the movements being faster and quicker, and more pro-like that's why his tires weren't wore out when he was going against ryosuke at akina, Fujiwara zone is basically the parts of course which represents akina, there he can really go 100% and get the cornering speeds faster/equal to shinji's, shinji basically was 1st stage Takumi, at akina. U can see manga for references, his lines are many times looks like shinji's, that's fujiwara zone. In the near end of the race, he really had better and faster cornering, but his tires were wore out cuz he wasn't used to most of the course, but it was the end, he had the absolute advantage, but only because of his tires he understeered and he got passed, honestly shinji us worse than Takumi, cuz literally all times he passed him, it was due to a bump which disrupted his pace. Also shinji's car at least had 200hp, considering it was rally tuned, and the fact it kept up very well on the fast sections of the course. So they were pretty much equal on power.

[@styckykeys2200]

@@StaticsMan I wouldn't worry about the gear ratios so much as the show isn't consistent in how it animates tachometers anyway, but I do recall the Todo school pro racer saying Takumi took the happo hairpins in first. After that, kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIHIlmSdopaBqa8si=XjWVH9q1vwL4aqH7&t=106 is is probably the best look at ratios 2-4 (~71% the previous). Yours seem about that far apart, except I think it would make more sense if your 1st gear is swapped out for a super long highway gear. This car was still Takumi's daily driver afaik, and I imagine Takumi didn't have to rev all the way to 5.5k every time he gets on the highway. But for just the mountain pass, I think what you did is great. I'm impressed by all the details there are to get each era of car as faithful as possible to the show, from the gauges to even weight and suspension.

[@StaticsMan]

I have updated all of the cars to better reflect what was shown in the show and updated the link. Minor improvements include: - Mention of FRP tailgate - Adjusted powerband curves for 2-4th stage cars. Peak power is now generated at 9500 rpm with a slight loss after, beforehand peak power was generated exactly at 11k rpm which made the car tricky to drive and unpractical. This will allow for smoother power delivery and more accurately reflects what was in the show. The 5th stage power delivery was untouched and peak power was generated at a lower 8000-8500 rpm to reflect the car having "more mid range power".

[@AjDel-vu4fy]

[@Chleb-rw7kf]

A long note for the gear ratio of the Silvertop Group A engine used in the AE86 from Initial D. In Stage 4 Episode 6 in the Initial D series, Takahashi Ryosuke decided to use Takumi Fujiwaras AE86 to drive against the Honda Civic Type R EK9 driven by Tomoyuki Tachi a pro racer. Everyone expected that Project D (Takahashi Ryosukes Team with Takumi and his AE86 in it) would choose the Mazda RX7 FD3S driven by Takahashi Keisuke since the time-attack-race was to be driven on "Happogahara" a course that is familiar to the Honda driver. The course offers challenging turns in an changing Up and Downhill battle. The Honda Civic Type R EK9 was tuned to stay longer in each gear to be able to challenge the RX7 on the fast Straight and Uphill parts of the course giving up a bit off speed in the corners. After Tomoyuki passed the AE86, the Honda Driver thought that he would easily outrun the AE86 since they entered the fastest part of the course, yet the AE86 was able to easily stay with him in the turns. The Honda Civic driver realised that he wasnt able to outrun him because I quote (rougly translated, I tried) "He is still behind me ... I didnt expect that. For the race against the FD, we changed the gear ratio for the fast straight sections. ... the change in gear ratio isnt optimal for the slow turns of the uphill. ... it becomes more obvious in the uphill turns, that the AE86´s gear ratio has been changed to suit corners. When I have to change into second in the turn, he still stays in first gear." I really love your video about this this is why I wrote this whole Bible book long message. I hope I was able to give you more info, because this project of yours is truly awesome and it really made me get a little excited, the detail and effort is on point and I couldnt find any other person having made such a refined version of the mod. This really made me excited about the whole of Initial D and I hope it didnt sound rude or too nerdy.

[@StaticsMan]

Nope and that's why I did it because I no one else has put in this amount of effort so I've found. Many people comment that Gran Turismo Variant is right version but through my testing I don't think so. I think it's also hinted in the anime and manga like you said that the gear ratios would most likely be adjusted per race so it's kinda impossible to figure out what they used, and no sane person will make a variant for every episode lol. But anyways I ended up using gear ratios taken from the final stage of initial d as shown in my video. It's also not mentioned in the video but shortly after I found another clip of RPM/Speed of Takumi's car and it was something like 8k rpm at 105kph which is also roughly what my mod achieved so I think it's pretty accurate. Thank you for your comment, it was not too nerdy, everyone in this comment section is a big nerd, including me :)

[@Haueru86]

If you want more concrete gear ratios, I suggest Gran Turismo's AE86 variant (Shuichi Shigeno Version). Its basically the author's blessed Sprinter Trueno in the game Gear ratios listed are: 1st - 3.236 2nd - 2.145 3rd - 1.539 4th - 1.167 5th - 0.936 Final Drive - 4.300 It also listed the weight of both the factory 86 as well as the modified Shigeno 86, at 940kg and 825kg respectively

[@linchester8464]

Thats new information to me about the 9k rpm rev limit set by Ryosuke for the later stages. I always had the impression they stuck to the same rev limit all the time. That said. I did made the engine in a game called Automation. A Car building simulator game. As it has the engine building section. The 4AGE only makes peak power at around 10k rpms and beyond 11k rpm the power band starts falling off. But makes a hell of a noise straight piped. The silvertop and blacktop has VVT on the intake valves so it prob make sense they tuned the valves to open early for more torque down low and sacrificed the top end power. Not to mentioned they also prob played with the jetting on the 4 carbs. There was a picture floating around the internet showing a 4AGE 20V silvertop with 4 shiny carbs which is the inspiration for the Group A engine. Although actual 4AGE that could rev all the way to 11k rpms are only 16V not the 20V. I didnt expect you to factor in the gear ratios. But yea in the arcade game i always noticed the gear ratios differs from track to track. Akina Lake being taller for more top speed. And the closer ratios for tighter tracks. When Bunta first installed the racing engine. I presummed he never changed the gear ratios of the gearbox so the racing engine with the stock gearbox on paper should now behave like a close ratio. And 4th gear is the 1:1 ratio and the 5th gear being the Overdrive. Dori king's AE86 comes into mind since he swapped out the 5th gear and instead put a 3.5 gear and made the 4th gear the final gear ratio. The final battle with Shinji. Both Takumi and Ryosuke took the risk and removed the rev limit on the 4AGE to gain the upper hand in terms of top speed. Takumi downshift to the 4th gear and rev it all the way until over 12k rpm without knowing the engine speed was his oversight in his part as well since he used the blind attack on Shinji which also turns off the instruments. The poor engine suffered Valve float and the belt prob snapped under the high load causing the valve to smash into the pistons jamming the engine altogether causing the lock up. But because he had experienced the engine failure before. He pressed the clutch and prevented the engine from further lock up of the drivetrain and going into reverse and winning the race backwards. While Shinji panicked during Takumi spin out and lost the race. Good research on your part. Cheers

[@K0Y0I_sis]

Silvertop comes with ITBs those are injectors( your theory is not far off thou,just a more modern iteration of dry sump 16v builds in the early 90's), but still damn near inaccessible to the public before 1997, it's when the blacktop released with the MAP sensor instead of the transitional MAF sensor that tuners all hopped onto the 20v bandwagon. Also, don't overlook that one extra valve count and oversquare rod ratio compared it's contemporaries of that era, with a TRD 305' cam, the 20v could still output steadily up to 11.5k. In regards of the final drive it's either TRD 4.7 or 5.01 final drive gear after the Gr.A Silvertop swap. Also, the silvertop is a non-interference engine, the blacktop is.

[@farhansuhaime]

The 20V engine from the show is heavily inspired by Akira Iida's Perfect AE86. He also deleted the VVT device (mentioned by Iketani in 2nd Stage) as they use aftermarket cam pulleys to achieve those crazy revs. Even the detuned to 9000 rpm also was replicated.

@@K0Y0I_sis never tried it tho but I think I understand the reference 😅

[@SidewaysGts]

@@K0Y0I_sis "Silvertop comes with ITBs those are injectors" Stock- this is very true. But to clarify a bit further here: In the manga, the race engine, as drawn, is shown to be running carbs. In the anime, it is however running ITBs. More specifically on what linchester8464 was talking about however, fans have found the actual "source" image that the mangas engine was based on. The artist literally found a modified 20v in a magazine, and traced the engine. The engine in question is using 4 carbs, which is why its drawn that way. "with a TRD 305' cam, the 20v could still output steadily up to 11.5k" Id like to see this. You almost never saw 20vs running to 11+ k rpm in that era (even in the hottest race cars. 16vs hit these rpms all day. 20vs... not so much), and making power up above 11k with a 305 cam would be *impressive* to say the least. Typically youll be seeing cams push towards the 320~ degree mark.

[@jardim23]

So TRD offered gearsets for the T50 transmission used in the AE86, one for rally, and one for circuit racing. Chances are Bunta had one of these sets installed prior to Project D. There is also a good chance he had a shorter final driver axle/diff ratio installed, Stock AE86 is 4.3 IIRC and 4.77, 5.13 and 5.375s are available for that rear axle. Im positive that the 11K rpm spec car had a 5.375 rear end, because with the stock 4.3, 1st gear would go 70km/h, 2nd 125, 3rd almost 180 km/h which would make it unsuitable for togue racing since you would never be in the useful powerband.

[@dagreat201]

Hey just some notes, like the mod, reminds me of an older mod from like 2019 or 2020 but this looks way better, in fifth stage with the rollcage, there was also an FRP hatch with acrylic glass, you may want to factor in the weight savings there, in addition for the torque curve in 2nd, 3rd stage, you can refer to a scene from the credits of 3rd stage, Ryosuke has open a laptop with a torque curve from Takumi's engine and perhaps you can take some influence from that, however by fourth stage i wouldn't count on that anymore, as project D would likely set up the engine as needed, there's good accessible ways to tweak power out of a motor like that such as changing trumpet length, in addition the 9k rpm version shouldn't be rev limited, rather have a gradual decrease in power over 9k, and then sharply decreases over 10k, great work and I hope we can see even more improvements!

[@StaticsMan]

Good criticisms although I want to respectfully disagree on a few things. As a disclaimer I’m not saying I’m anymore right than you and I’m just stating my opinion. And the fact of the matter is we will never know what the true specs of this car is until the creator makes it known. Anyhow: 1) I honestly didn’t touch the weight too much and left it at whatever the mod I referenced in that pinned comment was. I think another argument that could be made too is even though he has the frp hatch in 5th stage he also added a roll cage which would be extra weight and affect some of the weight savings. 2) I’m not going to lie I can’t even remember the laptop scene so I don’t have much to say on the tuning there. I kinda went with the dialogue from the show and adjusted the output characteristics to match what I felt was optimal for Akina (which ends up working for most tracks). I feel the tuning could be tweaked a tiny bit to be better but overall it’s fine as is. 3) The 9k rpm I do recall was actually limited to 9k rpm. At least that’s how I interpreted it in the manga and in the anime. There were many scenes of him driving with the tach stuck at 9k and it even mentions it was set at 9k in the clip in my video. In all honesty though I kinda just made that variant for shits and giggles and wanted to see how it drove. I don’t really plan to update this mod unless the creator actually releases the information or I made a very large mistake which from most people are telling me is pretty minor. A lot of the initial d mods for Takumi’s car have the gear ratios set really long so I’m pretty glad this was the one thing I got almost right. I appreciate you watching my video and sharing your thoughts! :)

[@StaticsMan]

Ok I just remembered why I did what I did for the tuning. (This mainly applies for staged 2-4). I did look at the dyno graph you mentioned and it looked fine but there’s a contradiction. In the scene at 5k rpm it makes around 150hp. However that’s around the same output the old 4AGE made. This is a contradiction because in second stage Takumi struggled with the car because he was shifting too early at 8k rpm which implies the power is way lower in that power band. This makes sense because that’s the nature of high revving motors. It was also described that at around 7-8k rpm the engine began to build a lot of power but Takumi couldn’t use it because he was shifting too early. That’s why for stages 2-4 I tuned it based off of that claim and assumed it stayed that way till stage 5. Again I made a lot of assumptions but I feel like they’re all pretty justified based off of how little is known about this car. Hell we’re literally looking at random scenes right now lol. But I also wanted to be realistic about this car and make it actually drivable/enjoyable. A lot of scenes similar to the one you showed me led to the car having really weird handling and awkward gears which didn’t even make sense to have on a car like that. So essentially what I did was compile everything I knew about initial d, racing, and tuning to make this mod. Sorry for yapping sm, I just found your points interesting to discuss lol

[@dagreat201]

That's fair enough honestly, I did feel like the old mod was a bit twitchy and odd, so that's fair enough honestly, I'll keep watch on this mod and see where it goes, great work regardless!

[@dagreat201]

one more thing as well I forgot to mention, now looking closer at your 5th stage torque curve I think it should be accurate anyways, in 2nd-4th stage you can obviously see in engine shots that there is no VVT gear, wheras in 5th/final stage engine shots particularly the manga, the VVT gear is present which can be used to achieve results like that

[@HUSTLAAAAAAA]

I now understand why Iketani is terrified everytime he climbs into Takumi's car 😂

[@roxstar70]

great mod! i would like to point out though, in the manga (im pretty sure volume 33) theres a shot of takumi's car doing 160 at around 6,500-7,000 rpm. figured i would let you know!

[@StaticsMan]

Oh that would mean 5th gear would have to be slightly longer. I was not aware of that information sadly. I don’t think I’m going to change it since everyone’s downloading this now and I didn’t get it right the first time. I’d say it’s also close enough like I think my car is only off by like a 1000rpm.

Only thing that I remember is that the final drive gear ratio is 4.75

[@StaticsMan]

I've seen that information floating around and I tried using it but I would get incorrect results for speed comparing it to the anime without doing some really crazy transmission gear ratios. I figured to stay accurate that I would just go off of shown speeds/rpms in the anime. The result worked out nicely too because I compare the speeds/rpms to other scenes and it lines up pretty well and there aren't any weird contradictions.

[@SidewaysGts]

On the topic of the transmission (I see a lot of people talking about this) 108~ KPH (67 mph for the yanks) in 3rd gear is in all likelihood, pretty far fetched. Though that speed might be practical for 2nd gear (If this was as high as 3rd gear hit, 1st gear would basically be completely useless. Especially if we keep in mind the context of the time, even with ryosukes "doctor budget" in mind- Its *highly* unlikely they were doing anything exotic with the transmission (This was supposed to be the late 90s / early 2000s). At BEST, you might see a TRD gear set or similar. The idea of him having some crazy "completely custom" gears is highly unlikely. Now what WOULD be likely, is swapping the final drive ration in the rear end. Stock the ae86 is running a 4.3 rear, but 4.7, 4.9, 5.1, and 5.3 ratios were relatively common even back in the day (and importantly: easy to get), and would drastically lower the top speed of each gear as you bumped up to higher ratios (Versus just revving the stock gearing to 11k, which would see insanely high speeds in each gear). Running a 5.3 for example, with stock transmission gearing, running 2nd gear to 11k rpm would get us tooo... 70~ mph (Depending on tire size)- which coincidentally is right in line with what we see in the anime to a degree.

[@StaticsMan]

@@SidewaysGts I’ve had this belief for over 3 years believe it or not haha. But I’ve tried using gear ratios based on an actual trd rally car and they felt too long. Most of the time you would need to be in first gear to drift hair pins which felt unnatural and the car would have slow exists since it took longer to accelerate (which defeats the purpose of having a more powerful engine in it) Most of the time in touge racing I prefer to have shorter gears to have more control over my speed and exit. The car feels more natural to me to drive like this and having it like this matches what was shown in the show. In the show the rpm did match the speed in that gear which is why I went with this as well. I highly doubt the show is accurate at all in terms of matching gearing and speed but I went off it anyways because that’s the only real material I have. I personally feel the car is built well for what it was designed for. This car isn’t made for top speed, it’s built for quick acceleration out of corners similar to a rally car. I think the current setup reflects that well.

[@SidewaysGts]

@@StaticsMan "I’ve had this belief for over 3 years believe it or not haha. But I’ve tried using gear ratios based on an actual trd rally car and they felt too long" The final ratio will go a long way towards alleviating this. The predominant idea behind the TRD sets is having the RPMs drop to a better point on the upshift. With stock gearing (3.587, 2.022, 1.384, 1, and then .86), your 1st to 2nd shift will drop you from 11000 rpms to 6200 rpms. 2nd to 3rd will bring you to roughly 7500 rpms. 7900, then finally 9400 going into 5th. The "Type a" gear set will have you dropping close to 8000 rpms from gears 1-3- keeping everything very tight, so youre right in your power band in a higher revving engine. Your "speeds" in the gears would be more or less tuned with the final drive. If you use a stock final of 4.3 with that TRD set, your max speed with stock'ish sized tired would be 56 mph, 78 mph, and then 102 in 3rd- All pretty high. But if you go to say a 5.1, youll drop those speeds to 47, 66, and then 86 mph. The "downside" to the A set is youre predominantly set for 1-3, youll see a big drop going into 4th. But ya, "tuning" speeds with the final drive is largely how youd go about that. Of course the show is its own can of worms (The speeds / rpms are super inconsistent across the show. I chop this up more to artistic error than anything else- which is likely the realistic explanatio ). My comment was mostly to reflect how itd "realistically" have been done.

[@highbomber2642]

⁠@@StaticsManAh alright, Thanks.

[@ilhanoxu8885]

it's hard to explain but it's not peak power at 11k rpm, the engine is built to HAVE the POSSIBILITY to reach that 11k, so you don't have to shift a gear just before the corner. the peak power is around 8 or 9k rpm. the power curve have to do this /-/\. in an usual race you shift at 9 or 10k rpm

[@StaticsMan]

@@ilhanoxu8885 I get what you’re saying but I respectfully disagree with your statement. The car was tuned to be the way you described for the fifth stage to “increase mid range power” as stated in the manga and anime several times. The reason I tuned it the way I did with peak power being around 10k rpm (last I remember) for all the other stages was because of the various clips in second stage of the car’s power being cut off because Takumi was shifting too early at 8k rpm making it seem like it had “less power than before”. Another point to respectfully disprove your claim is you can look at various tunes for high revving engines such as motorcycle engines like the Kawasaki zx6r which build peak power close to redline or also older f1 cars. The entire point of having a high revving engine is to make more power, otherwise you’re just decreasing reliability for no cause. In fifth stage they stated they tuned the car the way they did for reliability reasons as well.

I cannot understand the 5th stage version for the life of me. It is so unpredictable. In one moment I flick my car to the left, get a lot of angle but keep going straight into the wall or I start drifting instead of slip angling while the cars steering wheel has a stroke during the corner exit. I don't know, maybe I'm just shit at driving since I've only been at it for 1 and a half months, but I cannot understand the car. The 11k RPM feels really nice though

[@StaticsMan]

Might be too much speed, it definitely takes some practice to get down. I have a tendency to make things look easier than it actually is unfortunately. If you're struggling with the 5th stage car I wouldn't recommend going to the 4th stage or 2-3 stage variants because those will have a dramatic increase in power after like 7k rpm and make peak power at 11k. They're a lot less forgiving but really dial you in. You could try practicing with the first stage car for like an hr or two to get a feeling of the cars and then maybe work your way up. That's what I do if I am rusty. Good luck and keep working at it! :)
