as for max power best way would be to do a dyno run and see the RPMs at which power peaks, Garm i believe has acces to a dyno

Please scan that page of the manual if you don't mind.


Peak power (106 HP @ the flywheel) occurs at 6,000 RPM - just like Toyota says it does. Peak power will be less when measured on a chassis dyno, though the RPM at which it occurs will be identical.

That says little about determining shift points for optimal acceleration, though, as explained here:

Generally speaking, one wants to shift at engine red-line (ABOVE PEAK HP RPM) in order to maximize acceleration. That's particularly true with "peaky," small displacement, DOHC engines (e.g. Yaris 1.5 liter).
