YARIS GR ENGINE in depth - G16E-GTS detailed overview and specs - WORLD'S MOST POWERFUL INLINE 3

Weldspeed GR Yaris Intake Manifold: www.weldspeed.com.au/product-...
In today's video we're doing an in-depth overview of the G16E-GTS engine from the new Yaris GR. If you research the new Yaris GR you will see that the info on the new engine is rather scarce, but today I aim to fix that and make possibly the most comprehensive video currently available on the G16E-GTS engine. Reverse engineered from WRC and the first recent truly Toyota sports car, the Yaris GR is a big deal!
But before we start we need to get the thumbnail out of the way. As you can see the thumbnail has the words "world's most powerful inline 3 engine" on it. And on this day, the 20th of December 2020, this is the YARIS GR G16E-GTS is the most powerful production inline three cylinder engine. It beat the previous record holder the, 231 hp 1.5 liter inline three from the BMW i8. Before you jump the gun and say that the engine in the Koengisegg Gemera (2.0 liter twin turbo inline three with 600 hp) is the most powerful, I need to you remind you that this engine has not entered production, it's still just a prototype. But even when it does the Gemera costs millions and will only be made in 300 examples, so calling it "production" might be a stretch.
Also with 167 hp/liter the YARIS GR G16E-GTS engine is Toyota's new highest hp/liter or highest specific output engine. The record was previously held since 2004 by an MPV. The Caldina GT-Four with the 2.0 liter inline four turbo 3SGTE engine with 256 hp.
Now, let's see where the 268 hp of the Yaris GR engine comes from, and to find out we will start with the engine block the core of the engine. The engine block of the G16E-GTS is an open deck cast aluminum engine block with cast iron sleeves. The cast iron sleeves are fused into the block by having the block cast around them.
Again, as with many modern engines and all engines in Toyota's new Dynamic Force Architecture the the crankshaft is offset from the cylinder center line. The result is a more direct transfer of force through the major thrust axis of the piston and therefore less friction between the piston rings and the cylinder which of course helps both efficiency and power.
The pistons of the G16E-GTS are aluminum t-shaped with thin inner walls. Unfortunately I couldn't find any definitive info on whether they are cast or forged. But I'm guessing that they're most likely cast hyperuetectic pistons for minimum clearance and minimum cold start blowby. This is a EURO 6 engine, and passing EURO six emissions requirements for this vehicle class with forged pistons is very difficult.
Another very interesting feature inside the engine block is the piston oil squirters or oil nozzles. And the GR yaris has 9 of them. Yes, that's three squirters per piston. You can sometimes read or hear people say, ah piston squirters are bad for your engine, they reduce your oil pressure, you should remove them, all the drag racing guys delete the piston oil squirters. And although many people have graduated past this sort of thinking, you can still occasionally hear it, and it's usually said for engines with 1 piston oil squirter per piston.
The G16E-GTS is a turbocharged engine with a 10.5:1 compression ratio. This a compression ratio that a decade or so ago was considered relatively high for a naturally aspirated engine. And this compression ratio reveals why the underside of this engine block looks like a garden irrigation system. To prevent knock and have good ignition advance with an engine that has a turbo and a 10.5 compression ratio you need to keep the pistons as cool as possible and a great way to do that is by spraying a tsunami of engine oil to their underside.
The G16E-GTS valvetrain dynamics work together with the d-4st fuel injection system which comprises of both port and direct injection. At low and mid engine loads both port and direct injection is used to maximize homogenization and reduce emissions and fuel consumption. At high loads the engine relies only on direct injection for maximum injection accuracy and knock prevention. I have to say that I like this system because it gives you the benefits of both direct and port injection. This means the accuracy of direct injection but without the carbon buildup. The downside is of course this complex system means potentially increased maintenance and servicing costs.
Another interesting feature of the Toyota Yaris GR engine is the engine mounts, it has a total of three. But the right hand one is hydraulic to ensure none of those inline three vibrations and noises get into the cabin.

But even once the Gemera starts being delivered to customers, only 300 will be made, so calling the Gemera and the TFG "production" is a bit of a stretch.

Yeah and in Australia for like 2 years or so now with the GR yarris.

It's business, and they need to make money. And casual mention of Scotty Kilmer. And very informative video, as always. We in America may not get the GR Yaris, but that doesn't make Toyota fans excited.

[@d4a]

I've always been a casual weeb 🤣 I really like a good manga or anime, but my relationship with it has always been very atypical. I grew up watching all sorts of animes, but never had any friends that shared the interest, as it didn't really catch on yet, but still that never bothered me. So I also never joined any groups, forums, never read or watched reviews or anime commentary, never collected merch, I rapidly clicked away the first time I saw actual cosplay (I respect the crafts and effort) etc. I don't get most of the memes either. I was like a kid in an endless library without anyone else around. I watched and read randomly whatever I liked. I like to think this somehow made my relationship with anime and manga very intimate and privileged. It was and still is just a really nice past time, unburdened by all the social and cultural implications.

Due to the regulations, it doesn't make sense to have to spend hundreds of thousands to a regulatory body just to bring a model here and only sell a few thousand. If it weren't so, it would be profitable, and we'd be able to buy a Yaris GR.

Even when there used to be one (ford focus off the top of my head) the sales were piss poor because we the consumers end up buying import cross overs anyway

You can always go for a geo metro with the inline 3 engine and performance mod the heck out of it to reach ridiculous amounts of power with a few tricks to create a masterpiece of an economy car sleeper.

[@countryjoe3551]

Got any video of your Geo Metro that you can share?

[@peterkroeker753]

I've never been excited about a 3 cylinder before...

[@carsmusicandclothing7066]

Konigsegg put one out 8 months ago. So I'm ready to here about a second one.

[@TheRealFobican]

The inline 3 is an underrated engine design, I like it because it has an odd number of cylinders in the block giving it a distinct sound.

[@ivanlazarevic78]

@@TheRealFobican why no 7 cylinder then 😀

[@TheRealFobican]

@@ivanlazarevic78 Yes these are by far most rare engine configuration before inline 8 engines that existed in the past as brand new.

[@mayuravirus6134]

I never did and never will believe me i even hate sportsbike with only 3 cylinder

[@theretrogeek2281]

Wow man very professional review,no click bait here,well done ✅

[@Ozaneee]

You should've titled it the World's most powerful production inline 3, so people wouldn't compare it to the gemera

[@d4a]

I clearly explained it in the vid. The word production wouldn't fit properly into the thumbnail no matter what I did. It just ends up looking like a giant boring wall of text

[@Ozaneee]

@@d4a ohh yeah I already watched the video, and btw great video man keep it up! 👍👍

[@dafff08]

imagine if the new "supra" had the yaris gr engine with just twice as many pistons.

[@carboydorifutoparty3976]

Drawback is that its open deck

[@Stale_Mahoney]

a 3.2L I6 with 530hp ish, now that sounds alot like fun to me, but maybe a bit to much power? think the direction of making the cars lighter is more ideal than doing the MURICA throw more hp into it approach

[@frealsolidusauxil5873]

Toyota is working with mazda on an inline 6 so eh maybe a supra with toyota engine in the near future just maybe. Also they probably may use a new platform like atking one from lexus and modifying it like a yaris gr who knows 🤣

[@jamesengland7461]

@@Stale_Mahoney that's not MURICA; that's the point of the Supra, a sports car. Or the GTR. Or any number of non- American cars. The point was Toyota using their own engine.

[@jamesengland7461]

Great idea!

Great video and love the channel which I have just discovered. I can't imagine there will be as interesting a channel devoted to electric cars in the future.

[@roadreg1820]

Brilliant video. Very detailed and good humour. Would love to see one on the B58 engine, if you haven’t done one already. Thank you 😊

[@richardcaldwell6159]

I'll be revisiting this a few times for sure. I'll send an updated version soon. It's interesting how they're using incredible complexity in pursuit of many of the same things I'm concerned with. The way-thin cylinder liners probably help with the mismatch in coefficient of thermal expansion between cast iron liners and aluminum cylinders and pistons. Like a coating, but still cast. Haven't heard from you. Digesting or choking? Either way, you're in the communications business... :-)

[@d4a]

Definitely choking :( just sent a response

@@matthewyang2792 exactly, that and i think this seems to be a good modern engine worth attempting to swap into something like a mrs, or even a celica gt4.
