Start up! Putting the GR Yaris back together

[@mhk67091]

Nice videos guys! I’m a 2023 Corolla GR owner here in the USA. I wish you guys were here in USA.

Cheers Mike! Yes, a bit hard for us to work on your GRC over in States but we can ship parts :) Looking to do any upgrades?

@@denstoj I currently have a SXTH element intercooler and full custom aluminum hot & cold side charge pipes car makes 303whp and 310tq on mustang dyno. I don’t want to do anything else unless I do valve springs. What do you guys recommend? I don’t want anything crazy it’s a daily driver.

[@denstoj]

Yeah good plan, sounds like you’ve got a solid setup already! When you're ready for the intake and exhaust, upgrading the cams and valve springs would be the go and of course our rockers retainers ;) for peace of mind while you're doing the install. I'd say just drive and enjoy it for now.

@@denstoj At my current power level are the stock valve springs safe.

[@denstoj]

At your current power level, the stock valve springs should be fine for daily driving. However, if you’re planning on pushing the car harder or doing a lot of track days, upgrading the valve springs would be a good precaution. Do you know what the boost has been increased to and if the RPM limit has remained stock?

Love the videos fellas, as an owner of a GR Yaris, and as a mechanic! I'm curious though... did it start and idle like that on the standard, untuned ECU, especially without a CEL. If so I'm quite surprised given the sizable difference with the Kelford camshafts.

Thanks, Aaron! Triple awesome that you’re a GR Yaris owner, it’s a Rallye and a mechanic too! Just checked out your YT channel. Yes, that’s how it idled on the first start. It had already been tuned with the breathing mod upgrades before we started our series of installs. The Type A Kelfords sure are a step up. Ben from Benchmark is re-tuning it as we speak.
