GR Yaris vs GR Corolla - A Modifiers Perspective on Which is Better at 370hp and over 500hp.

[@psycheout4733]

Let's surmise this entire nearly 16 minute video. They're similar platforms so the only thing a "modifier" cares about is power to weight ratio. They assume same motor power potential so the only way to change the power to weight ratio is weight. Since GR Yaris is lighter, they recommend the GR Yaris. That's all there is in this vid.

The final drive ratios are known, you went through all this math to repeatedly say the same thing about the power to weight, should have used some of that math to compare what the final drive might affect. The engineer said this was done specifically to counter the additional weight, should have done calculations to see what difference it makes. Engine differences are fairly small, both are forged, but the Corolla the engineer has said the piston metal is stronger. And they've improved the piston oiling. Nothing about springs, nothing about turbo size. Just more boost and improved exhaust back pressure.

Problem is they're in entirely different markets.

[@jasonyoung6420]

The GR Yaris is always going to have the weight advantage over the GR Corolla; it's less car, but when you went into "weight reduction" calculations, you assumed the same weight would come out of both cars, but there is going to be more weight stripped out of the corolla interior; there is just more of it, as it is more car. There is still going to be a significant weight difference between the two in favor of the Yaris, but it felt worth mentioning. The Corolla has an additional ~1.8in/4.6cm of track width, as well as a longer wheelbase, which will result in higher lateral G's and increased high speed stability, again worth noting if you're doing something besides drag racing. HOWEVER - I'm looking for one (GR Corolla as I live in North America) as a "stock" until the warranty is up, then "lightly modified" daily, that I can haul my kids around in, I will be dumping a RWD IS350 for it, once I can get the one I want (Circuit edition in red, wish we got the neptune/agean/voodoo blue as an option). The GR Corolla makes more sense in our market, where a two door Yaris would have to compete with similarly priced V8 monsters (mustangs, camaros, challengers), the four door can come in as the practical performance vehicle (that isn't another CUV). I used to own a 2006 WRX wagon, and it was practical performance at the time, and accepted mods reasonably well. I'd wonder how a Golf R would stack up against a GR Yaris; more weight for sure, but a built EA888 currently has much higher limits (partially due to the existing extensive aftermarket).

[@binskee677]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqPPf2WkptZsaMU this is how they compare. It depends on the track who is faster or not. regarding weight, it would make a couple of kilos i agree but the difference wouldn't be too large. The corolla is bigger yes but it will not even out the higher weight. The Yaris already has a wheelbase of a 911 and the track width of a E92 M3 and is considered a traction monster in the twisties.

The pistons and exhaust valves in the GR Corolla are also a different, stronger alloy, as part of the engine being designed for a higher HP output. Also, the exhaust valves are larger, with stiffer valve springs. They are not identical engines. And the GR Corolla, if you are looking from a tuning perspective, might be the more reliable after mods of the two *because* of those differences, and possibly even handle higher power more safely.

They’re being upgraded for an extra 20kW.

The removed weight would be different, larger rear seat is removed, larger carpets areas, if the door cards were removed from the Yaris then 4 door cards with speakers instead of 2. Too much bias towards the Yaris in the video. It’s understandable since that’s what you know but speculating about what another platform would perform like in hypothetical situations…it’s just doesn’t sit right. Thanks for the b roll footage of the Yaris though, super nice build.

[@jlb8696]

I agree 100% lighter is better specially you take one piston off the weight is so important I agree💯

I’m excited for the Grc here in the states since we can’t get the Yaris. Have a deposit on one wish me luck. I did read somewhere that some components of the engine were upgraded compared to the Yaris

[@MotiveVideo]

Like we said, subjective And the Core GR Corolla is pretty bland

Circuit corolla looks pretty aggressive. Personally and as a biased GR Yaris owner I think the Yaris looks more sleek.

@@MotiveVideo Definitely subjective, I think the Yaris is god awful ugly. But quite enjoy the rolla.

it think the yaris looks much cooler with the more radical wide body and lower roof line and two doors and the fron looks much more racecar/rallye like with the make cooling inlets and boxy design. Yes very subjective.

[@SnaccDaddyy]

How much extra weight could you get out of the GR corolla with the extra trim etc? Would it bring it down to being closer at all?

[@MotiveVideo]

Very unlikely The big weight savers same in both

I'm about SICK of having cars gimped here. THAT was my biggest deterrent against pursuing a Civic Type-R. It's so frustrating...

I think Toyota will boost the engine just enough to be faster than the Yaris, despite what they claim. I'd take the Corolla any day.

From factory maybe, a simple tune on the Yaris is all that is needed

PLS BUILD A COROLLA the way you’d build the 3cyl now having a good perspective of it’s quirks and limitations. Maybe a rally version for more views?

[@brandonjoseph2258]

Can’t beat filling your car with friends to put a smile on their face so Corolla beats the Yaris in smiles per gallon

[@ScottyMcCraigles]

Isn't the GR Corolla going to have more tuning headroom than the GR Yaris because of the thickened cylinder walls (mentioned by Toyota in an interview I saw), so the actual difference in power:weight is going to be mute when pushed to the limits? Also, you'd be able to strip out more weight from the Corolla than the Yaris as the interior pieces are larger, so that calculation would require some adjustment. I'd still assume it'd favour the Yaris prior to the potential tuning headroom though.

[@SUMOCAT86]

Depends on what you're doing, getting groceries or rally.

[@Hartbreak1]

Edit: Nevermind I just remembered that the Corolla is a 5 door car, so most of the weight will come from the extra doors. Original: Personally I don’t think there’s 300+ more pounds of metal in the Corolla, probably most of that weight comes from interior options and entertainment system. Probably comparing wheelbase sizes may shed some light into this.

[@timduckett487]

GR-corolla for me.i think it all boils down to one's preference.when you get your hands on one of the gr corolla and do the same mods has the gr yaris then we 'll see the real giant.

[@timocallaghan4408]

I think the longer wheelbase of the corolla could equate to better lap times, the yaris looks almost too happy to rotate, especially in faster corners.

[@MotiveVideo]

It has wider track too so ratio of track width to wheelbase is negligible difference longer wheelbase doesn’t guarantee to make a car handle better. Its generally more stable and slower to respond, so usually slower

[@sw20indy]

Are there any gearing differences? Do you think the wheelbase difference will alter handling stability between the two?

[@MotiveVideo]

Wheelbase to track ratio is very close. Ratio change is so small it will make no difference

Hey motive I love old turbo cars I’d love a review on old school vs new Imagine putting half the yaris money into a lexus 300 or the money into a early wrx Or am I only dreaming of old building old as good as yaris or better

[@zaksuzuki]

Old Jdm cars are completely different hard to compare. For most people the new vehicles will do a better job. They’ve come along way since early gtrs wrx’s and evo’s. I’m a 90s enthusiast so for me new cars just don’t do it. I’ve got a 400awkw 93 lancer gsr, fair bit of money in it built myself street tuned, but at this point it’s not really driven in traffic much, wife can’t really drive it and doesn’t want to. With new cars coming out with this sort of power, drivability and all the latest tech, I think that will get most people’s vote.

[@damonunya9383]

Well motive buy a circuit corolla and re do the experiment then we all know for sure 😉 Also looking at other gr corolla vids they have upgraded the engine/internals which may help with that head gasket issue 🤙🏻

none of the “rumoured” upgrades will fix the head gasket/head lift issue and all rumours so far
