Рет қаралды 3,483
Жыл бұрынWelcome to Episode 1 of our GR Corolla Vlog series!
We are starting on some vlog style videos for our channel that cover what we're up to with our GR Corolla. We will talk about tuning progress, track prep updates, racing results, new parts we're testing as well as overall thoughts and feedback as we tune and develop our car for Time Attack use.
In this video I talk about the MBRP catback we just put on, talk a bit about tuning with Ecutek, some oil cooler kit feedback, some general thoughts on the car and what we've done so far to prep it for racing at Mid Ohio.
Chapters:
00:56 - MBRP Catback Exhaust
03:55 - Why we picked up a GR Corolla
05:00 - Tuning overview - Ecutek
07:00 - iMT (Autoblip) - my thoughts on it
09:22 - Tuning - How we're tuning & some pulls
11:17 - What we've got done to the car so far
11:39 - Oil cooler & oil cooling thoughts
13:35 - 2nd, 3rd, 4th gear pull
14:02 - @SXTHElementEngineering - FMIC going on soon!
14:18 - What's left to do before we go to the track

i'm loving my GRC but hate the overheating issue...interested to learn more about your oil cooler setup. Can you send a link to the Setrab oil cooler?

is the exhaust heat shield and fire sleeve for temp sensor available for purchase?

Where in Iowa are you located? I should be getting my car in September and I really like what I'm seeing. I might need a good tuning shop next summer 😉

Hey man, awesome car. That racing/tow hook…..did you drill a hole out in that access panel, or just remove it altogether???
@boostedperformance_ 11 ай бұрын
Thanks! Yes we made holes in both the front and rear tow hook covers since we will keep the tow hooks in all the time on this car.

I dig your vids, I just watched your other vid on the GR Corolla. Has anyone told you that you look like if a sane brother of Dwight from "The Office" if he had a brother? If our economic system wasn't collapsing faster than the Hindenburg, I feel we'd be seeing a lot more of these cars on the road. I have seen nice vids on the GR Yaris that I believe(correct me if I am wrong)and The GR Corolla share the same engine.
@boostedperformance_ Жыл бұрын
Thanks! No, haven’t heard that reference before. Yup, same engine. I think partially Toyota wanted to test the waters here a bit and partially everything is still recovering from the Covid years a bit. I sure hope they see the interest and ramp up production!

Ummm…..Economy has nothing to do with seeing these cars. It has to do with supply, not demand. Less than 7000 built a year.

you were running e50 on the stock tune? or via the custom ECUtek tune?

That’s with custom tuning. Sorry if I wasn’t very clear on that. :)

The drone of that exhaust was evident through my lowly computer speakers....
@boostedperformance_ 11 ай бұрын
Ok - so if what you are considering to be drone is simply hearing the exhaust then that's going to be the case on pretty much any exhaust that is louder than stock on one of these cars. What I mean by drone is when it hits certain frequencies that vibrate or resonate in the cabin and are very annoying, especially when they happen at light cruise loads that you spend a lot of time at. This is exhaust is certainly not quiet by any means but not annoying by my standards but everyone has their own opinion on that of course. :)

I wonder if this motor will suffer from the same oil pressure loss in turns as the GR86 FA, curious to see.
@boostedperformance_ Жыл бұрын
No. Very unlikely and it wouldn’t be for the same reason if it does. The FA24 is a flat engine with heads that lay flat. That lets oil slosh out of the pan and get stuck in the heads. This is a common issue to some degree on all flat Subaru engines. This engine is very different and looks to have a good oil pick up design that shouldn’t have any major issues.

The FA is made by subaru... it's a shame because the new GR86 is such a great car.

@KN-jw7ts 11 ай бұрын
I think Toyota (of all companies) would take that into consideration. Especially with the fact that it is their first fully developed sports car in 20 years…..with the aiko Toyodas direct involvement in developing it. Highly doubt this thing is anything but stout.
@Crazy8ts 11 ай бұрын
@@KN-jw7ts im sure its stout. I have seen reviews of it making reliable power modded and stock, but also some failures of the rods. But most likely those were abused not maintained properly
