Our GR Yaris Runs 10-Second 1/4 Mile! - MoTeC 4WD Controller Install and Some Engine Dramas

[@glensubtorq]

Wow! Always so impressed as to what the EMS manufacturers come up with in Australia. Has been this way for decades and still gets better! Well done on this development, so awesome! 👍😎

[@shizukesajdm]

A sequential?! No way!!! That’ll be sick! Andrew, this channel is so incredible… it baffles me how you don’t have over 1 million subs! Keep up the amazing work, we’re all learning so much thanks to your efforts! ❤️

[@rotor13]

I'd bet money its a dog-box gear set with different, longer ratios. That 2-3 shift is really short after launching in first, barely a 1000rpm drop. Not very conducive to consistent drag times and even for laptimes as you dont really want to have to shift gears in the middle of a corner.

[@shizukesajdm]

@@rotor13 yeah, quite possibly!

[@quest8795]

Watching the drag runs made me think "it needs a sequential", and there it is Love to see it

[@Terence_Rajan]

Hopefully a 7 speed gearbox.

[@dan4age]

Most likely just converting to dogbox for faster shifts

[@TechWiz1983]

Impressive. Waiting on the GR Corolla Hatch to drop so I can trade in my 2019 Corolla Hatch & start modding the GR. This was a great test bed to follow. Thank you for the coverage.

[@robbietuned]

Waiting on the same. Once they announce something firm I'm going to start grabbing some parts.

[@cheesepizza87]

Glad you acknowledged Ekanoo, you got the nail on the head with the “toe to toe” side, they’re builds are insane

[@ThePolandball]

As someone who works on 4WD controls for an OEM...it's awesome to see what's being done in the aftermarket in the same space. HELLA impressive Yaris!

[@ghoulbuster1]

This little Yaris will become a legend and a classic!

[@danielcluley870]

This car is a beast. It's more of a track car/rally car and you made it run 10's in a straight line. I So want the new GR Corolla.

Haven’t even watched the video yet, so pumped, great build series! So cool to see a 3 cylinder pushing so hard!!

[@liddz434]

Great work and great sportsmanship shouting out the efforts of your competitor…fostering a positive car culture in the community is 🤙🏾 in my book

[@madmick3794]

The car just sounds like a heck of a lot of fun. Top stuff.

[@AlistairLattimore]

That is going to be MAAAAD. Big cams could see power up toward 400kw and then with a PPG sequential -- incredible !

[@davindermanku8187]

Nice. from your testing, any idea of the maximum current that can be applied to the center diff clutch pack ???

[@Micah_Makes]

If you're having an issue on getting studs, reach out. I have a line of low volume manufacturers in the states and now in the UK...all options proven with racing championships.

[@Grubik]

oh the summer - cold temperature, rain and christmas ? it took me a while

[@jasperpipes4222]

With the amount of money Sparebox charges for parts, they could afford to make any car run 10's !

[@fahgina]

What a great episode. This car is Amazing. Gonna be crazy with a PPG sequential gearset!

[@utoobsurfing2816]

Cant get enough of this series

[@weduhpeople8504]

Motec ftw, I have the M142 on my 2018 Honda Civic Type R. Just wish I could be awd 🥺, but Motec’s traction control and tuned boost by gear does help.

[@alberttsai3659]

Just sell your Type R and get a GR Yaris which is a much better platform for making serious power.

[@MrAxellllll]

Haven't lamspeed done a 10.5 in their gr yaris?

[@martinrodger9565]

Been a great series between you and Powertune explaining the tune etc. Very open. I hope you have your next project in the pipeline. I also hope you get that 9 that you’re clearly attempting to feel up in the near future 😂

[@hyper8545]

I really hope Toyota does the GR Carolla in USA.

[@boostdr33]

Loved the Starlet lined up with the Yaris. Maybe you should run it against STALET starlet for a final video of old vs new tech. Also thanks for the head stud explanation, really helps with my own experience.

[@lauriedooker1031]

The best gr Yaris video on my list 👍

[@chewdoobautomotivedetailtm2883]

Motec always in forward motion. Dang what I'd do to have a Yaris in the states FML 😂😂😂♥️♥️♥️🏁♥️🏁🏁♥️🏁♥️🏁

[@kanenstuff]

Great work to all involved just show how much knowledge and passion us Australians and the manufacturers have for all types of motor sports.

[@AutomationSolutionss]

Earlier episode mentioned motec would detect the coolant system being over pressurised by head lifting. Did it? Any data log to look at? Did it try to pull power out when it was happening?

[@Ne3bO]

Probably on a motec standalone. Not a motec awd module .

[@g60force]

and here's I was thinking Graphs where also up-side-down in Australia XD ... j/k sick work! wondering what you guys gonna do with the Corolla GR

[@MADMATTRS]

Congratulations guys this was epic to watch and great coverage! Excited for the next one

[@linchester8464]

if you are going to open to the engine. should you guys put in better and stronger forged pistons and con-rods? Because while the head studs has sort of failed due to high boost pressure. there is a chance the next point of failure would be the con-rods or pistons. So many times I seen high powered engine blew up and punch a hole thru the engine block opening a window and spew its guts all over the road or during the dyno run. And the main thing that failed was actually the con-rods breaking and becomes a hammer and struck the engine block opening up the block. About the MoTeC AWD controller. Is there any sort of kit to run on the Skyline GT-R ATTESA ETS? I would def love to see the some more love for the GT-R

[@lewisanth4986]

if I recall correctly, the goal when they started this series was to find the limits of the stock engine. so as the majority suspected the head studs were the 1st to go.. at just shy of 475hp...with nothing but valve springs... on a 1.6T 3 banger.... madness haha. honestly if that is still the plan, I would think they just do the studs and keep going with the motor until they find the next point of failure - all part of aftermarket R&D. that being said who knows what will happen since they plan on giving this car away soo..

[@linchester8464]

@@lewisanth4986 pistons are like 1500 AUD and rods were 1800 AUD. Imo those are sound investments if you are pushing close to 500 bhp in the 3 bangers. Serious mods. I will def overbore the cylinder walls and drop in cast iron sleeves for added strength. Oh if hes putting a sequential gearbox. Those will set you back 15K Euros.

[@lewisanth4986]

@@linchester8464 I'm sure cost isn't an issue as that's well documented thanks to the sponsors. I'm taking about the original plan to use this engine as test mule to find it's limits and where the aftermarket r&d is needed.

[@xxxneoxxx]

There wasn't anything wrong at all with the headstuds, it was the headgasket.

[@lewisanth4986]

Watch the video and listen carefully. The head gasket went because the head lifted - head lifted because the studs stretched. A head gasket is only as good as the clamping pressure it's squished together with.

[@nissan2002]

Impressive result 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 Only down side is the 3 cylinder exhaust note....

[@alberttsai3659]

So was the car running street tyres when you took it to the drag strip?

[@N0ENEMIES]

Woah wait they ran a 10.98 and you guys ran a10.87. Good stuff

😮 This will be a little beast 😈with sequential

Gr. Gazzooo racing. Is this da new Yamaha.

[@stevefinch8519]

As tuning company in the uk has app arently hit 500 bhp with a turbo and tune but std clutch I'm not sure I believe it though if this what issues you have already had at 467 bhp .

[@MotiveVideo]

UK is generally “calculated engine hp” no power at hubs or wheels so hard to compare

[@stevefinch8519]

@@MotiveVideo watched video again still not convinced a big turbo and remap will give 500 it's abit misleading sometimes and not enough information on video tbh .

glad to hear you see it that way . still yours looks better :)

[@kramshiron]

Wonder what the “Bee” Gr Yaris in the UK would run….500bhp it should be good.

[@MotiveVideo]

UK dyno numbers are “calculated engine bhp” so 500 there is not the same as our 500 at the hubs

[@indopleaser]

Really good video

[@richardallen1629]

"legal reasons" 🤣

[@A.R.C.77]

You finally got there 😁🤘

[@damionbacchus3131]

Try tein coilover with edfc, kw coilover with ddc, cusco coilover with econ 2 or the blitz version so the car wont pitch as much. Maybe add a pitch stopper from air tech, cusco or verkline.

[@paule4204]

Would be better off going with MCR suspension. They are a better product and being Australian can develop it specifically for that car.

[@jackweta]

better the weakpoint is the head studs stick to oem

[@lukepickering4975]

Hi team out of interest what is the cost to get the Yaris to this spec?

[@MotiveVideo]

Not entirely sure as price varies country to country and shop to shop; plus we have swapped and changed things for development.

[@RSADYNAMICS]

First Yaris in the 9s?

[@msoracle7359]

Are you still taking the car to the Time Attack at SMP Andrew ?

[@dreednlb]

Just watched the Ekanoo video. They are at 10.98 so your 10.87 is still the current record?

[@terryg1575]

The record, as of 5 Feb, was Lamspeed Racing, Australia. 10.547 @ 131.6

[@lanosextreme999]

***** if you only do drag racing use the corolla gr transmission gear set, 100% fit you will pass from 3.94 ratio to 3.35 ratio !!! ;) *****

[@MotiveVideo]

its the final drive in the gearbox shaft, not diff ratio, so bugger all difference really wont make up for extra weight

Sweeeeet! I've had my GR for a month now and I'm ready for some mods

[@ClunieGarage]

Congrats on the 10 second pass mate. Another item ticked off the list. Looking forward to seeing the next Wakefield Park track day with these upgrades. New cams should add more power to mid and top end which will help going up the hill and on the straight. I reckon it will go deep into 1.04s which will be incredible.

[@CarAndMechanical]

Wondering if you get really deep into the 10's with all the new mods - and then just Yolo some NOS for 9s?

Great little car💪👌I like seeing all the developments/progress, I'm keen to see gearbox changes. I watched a review of a 500hp Yaris, that's in the UK, this week. The Yaris is tuned by a company called Severn Valley Motorsport (SVM) & the Yaris has a hybrid turbo, R35 brakes, runs on race fuel & with the up-shifts there are some nice bangs. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p36YYpaVZ6xjjtE

[@mungbean84]

500bhp... Andrew has spoken about this very important term before and probably also why he still refers to it as the "most powerful Yaris in the world". I don't doubt that their car made what they said, but it also doesn't mean a lot being bhp. I'm also sure the guys at Motec and Powertune could put a "bang" tune into this Yaris too, but why?

[@mrnicktoyou]

I wonder if Toyota engineers follows these builds for some free R&D to see how strong their car is for future development?
