GR Yaris MoTeC plug-&-play Install to become World's Quickest- Motive Garage

In this episode of Motive Garage we head to Powertune Australia to install a GR Yaris MoTeC plug and play kit before we head to Wakefield to get our lap record back and then to the drag strip to try and become the quickest GR Yaris down the quarter mile in the world (verified with time slip that is).

[@Holmesy89]

I’m so happy for you Andrew. And I am very glad the Japanese are finally building cool little cars again.

[@ClunieGarage]

G'day mate, just saw a grey Yaris post a 1.04.81 at Wakefield over the last few hours. I recall there was traffic and some more set up to go on your last few pb sessions. It's always the way at Wakefield, you get heaps of traffic on the laps that you are honking along and everything is coming together. Great video btw.

[@cnrspd6969]

I have watched your videos since the S14a days 😂 Few grey hairs later i am watching you talk about the GR Yaris because i got a Rallye recently. Awesome little cars that will surely become iconic and talked about for decades to come.

Holy cow, this Ryan Nicholls explains stuff so well! Great video!!!!

[@Vaesive]

This is freaking awesome! I owned a little Yaris up until a month ago (got hit and totalled :( ) and always wanted a GR Yaris but cannot get them in the US. So I picked myself up a GR Corolla and I cannot WAIT for Motec support for the GR Corolla; same engine so I would hope support for it would come (relatively) quick!

[@MerlinOpeth]

Great to see you guys leading the way.

[@popsbubbles1242]

excellent work love this series, great explanation of the motec. when you have finished can you come to UK and sort my Gr and make it Grrrrrrrrrr

[@OkinawaWild]

Sweet. You guys just saved me a grip! Dropping US$50k on a Yaris GR RZ High Performance when things open back up in a few days (New Years). I wanted the back up camera and corner sonar, but it's all rolled up into the "Safety Sense" option with lane departure, pre-crash, radar cruise, etc... Eliminating that package drops the price half the cost of the M141 package.

[@liddz434]

Hell yeah! Can’t wait to see where this series goes next! So much potential

[@keza5240]

I actually saw this car at the 2021 gtr festival and I asked the guy who drove It and he said that the fastest one in the world is the gutted out GR Yaris... that has changed now😍😍

[@NoToVeto]

Top of rev range you have drop in power. Same was told by ur race driver. MB adding BIG air intake box will help to unlimit air intake, increase power, have better lap and 1/4 mile times. "Eventuri" have some solutions ready on Yaris GR.

[@NoToVeto]

You have drop in power 900 RPM earlier, than drop starts on stock engine. If you have enough fuel flow, then either not enough air flows to engine or exaust is too restricted. Put that stock air box out and bring some proper air intake solution. Still good job so far! Keep it up and share more!

We should know by 2021 that there’s such thing as “uncrackable”. If you get the right motivated person onto it, they’ll crack it eventually.

[@Ryan-hf9qz]

Anything is crackable but at what cost??

[@FightingSportsMedia]

Nah with the combination of built in wifi, self driving systems and hackers, manufactures have advanced the security on ECU's very quickly. I doubt people will crack most current production ECU's anytime soon. If they do crack it the MFG will prob update the software and patch the exploit.

[@daniel.s8126]

@@DamonDupriez on the road the Golf R system works really well though. Not sure why you’d want to disable it other than if you’re tracking the car? I used to have a MK7.5R and the system was a split second faster than me in reacting to some idiot 2 cars ahead deciding to slam their brakes on to take a sudden right turn. I’ve had it beep and flash “brake” at me a bunch of other times, but it was smart enough not to kick in. Compared to a lot of other brand cars and systems I’ve heard about, including Audi’s, Mazda’s, etc the system in the Golf is pretty good.

Props to Powertune. They have a kit for the Hyundai i30 N as well. I am wondering if it can be used on the 1.6L cars like my Forte GT? I don't mind paying for the amount of control and options you get with a stand alone and MoTec firmware can be created for your project if necessary.

Good stuff, looks like the stock tune is not leaving much on the table at the top end. Curious to know how far you could take it on E85 with the direct injection.

I'd say that was E85, unless I missed it they didn't say what fuel they were running, just referring to it as 'what the car has in the tank.'

Would you be interested in how the vehicle corresponds at all to being able to drive on the road after the conversions? Emission values? The car is a good foundation for building a racing car. I see. However, it is not acceptable for it to disintegrate at the factory when driven. Can not stand the clutch and flywheel, engine, cooling ... Is there anything else that needs to be modified? It starts to make no sense to buy if you plan to. 😂
