GR Yaris & GR Corolla G16E Tuning Guide - From Stock to over 500hp.

2 жыл бұрын

After a year of development with our GR Yaris, we have put together this tuning guide for the G16E-GTS engine in the GR Yaris and GR Corolla. We took ours from stock to over 500hp and 10--second passes, which gave us, and Powertune Australia, the knowledge you need to build your GR Yaris or Corolla up to the same point.

Pro tip from one of the guys racing a GR Yaris (Rotheli racing I believe), the rear section of the exhaust getting very hot can cause the 4WD overheating issue, with a couple of bucks on some decent quality exhaust tape you can wrap the section around where the 4WD clutchpack and rear diff are - when he did that he didn't have a single overheat issue afterwards. When I install my new exhaust I will definately wrap the back of the center pipe.

@@garrettchapman8170 I was about to say that seems like a lot of expensive stuff to be classified as "little" mods, I mean you pointed out the expensive ecu (6.5k), but you also need cams (1k), and turbo upgrades (7k), and a custom fueling system (~3k), full exhaust (3.5K), intercooler (750-1k), valve springs (500), clutch (2-3k). So erroring on the cheaper side you still end up at 23.5k in mods; really doesn't seem so little anymore.

Pretty good, when you put it in context. Double the cubes, double the cyls, and you get a 3.2L, 6 cylinder, that will produce north of 1000hp with equivalent mods. Correct me if I'm wrong on those specs. Either way, pretty good.

@kaloyancholakov3725 10 ай бұрын

In theory yes, but that's not the main goal because they can fit this little engine in every car, also it comply with regulations, for the relatively small car 300hp is more than enough for most people and also cheaper to produce than the bigger engine. 1000 hp will require more hardcore components which will make the car more expensive and also will turn this vehicle into a very dangerous machine to drive. From a mechanical and technical point of view - the engineers could probably make even this engine double or triple the hp, but it will be 10-20 times more expensive to make it reliable and safe to drive. But yeah, I agree with you, the architecture of the engine seems to be powerful and well engineered.

@@RandomlnternetGuy I'm not sure about that people are still doing the intake, exhaust, intercooler, tune thing without understanding anything. I don't discourage, I give them links I expect them to read or watch a video. If it takes Gale Banks two hours to get his point across then you better sit your ass down and watch it, he won't be with us much longer and we'll be worse off for it. These DI Turbocharged cars are pretty much dummy proof. Also no mention of spark plugs here but that is often debated as if this is the 1990's all over again. People should do their research before buying anything especially cars, all of them are reliable some more than others but the spread between makes is less than 5% and don't get me started on overpaying for cars.

I'd be waiting for a lot more development for reflashing the stock ECU's to be done first before I'd consider reflashing the stock ECU unless you don't mind being a guinea pig. For stage one I'd look at a tuning box like a DTUK stage 2, that is proven to work rather than an exhaust.
