Default Transmission Setup

im looking for help on the lexus LS400 RPM for each gear, the highest and the lowest RPMs.
Im setting it up via my laptop using Spitronics software and ECU system.
The engine has been placed in a Toyota for off roading.

Default self

We are doing this ourselves with the correct software....... below is our problem and is these setting we are looking for.........

1. First go through the setup and enter all the relevant settings that you do know like the pulses per RPM and revolution of the speed sensor etc. also calibrate the TPS sensor.

2. Start the engine and calibrate the rev counter, then save the data and switch the engine off.

3. Switch the TCU on and do the following settings while you are standing still.

4. Start with the following option settings.


5. Set the Gear Down Speed and the Kick Down Speed for all the gears to 0 as in the block below.

6.
7. Set the Gear Down Speed for first gear to 100 as in the block below.

8.
9. This will disable the speed settings so that you can set the RPM settings first. It will not work for Tiptronic as you do need the required speed setting.

10. Now set the Up Shift (Blue Line) High Dot to 90% TPS value, and to the maximum RPM value allowed for that gear. Do this for each gear.

11. Now set the Down Shift (Red Line) High Dot to 90% TPS value and half of the maximum RPM value allowed for that gear. Do this for each gear. An example is if you want a gear to reach 6000RPM under WOT, adjust the Down Shift High Dot to 3000RPM. This will be a save value to start with so that if kick back occur, the engine will not overrev.

12. Now set the Up Shift (Blue Line) Low Dot to idle RPM plus 400 RPM. An example is if idle RPM is 800, set this Dot to 1200RPM. Do this for each gear.

13. Now set the Up Shift (Blue Line) Middle Dot to 45% TPS value, and set the RPM value to form a straight line between the Low and High Dot. Do this for each gear.

14. Now set the Down Shift (Red Line) Low Dot to idle RPM plus 200 RPM. An example is if idle RPM is 800, set this Dot to 1000RPM. Do this for each gear. This will ensure that the gear does shift back when idling RPM is reached.

15. Now set the Down Shift (Red Line) Middle Dot to 45% TPS value, and set the RPM value to form a straight line between the Low and High Dot. Do this for each
