    Top Tip from a GR Yaris owner. If you put the car in expert mode (Hold the traction button down) it will remove the soft limiter when stationary allowing more revs!

    The GR Corolla is living up to the hype and I love seeing Toyota back in the performance car realm. Completely unrelated, I would like to see a modern Evo vs STi shootout on here. An Evo X and an equivalent year/model STi. I know the Evo vs STi horse has been beaten to death, but it never gets old and your builds are always supreme. Keep up the great content!

    Got my ITR shirt featured in this video the other day. Wearing it now :D As for this Corolla GR. Yeah, fantastic cars. But the same can be said about the base Corolla hatchback now. The TNGA-C suspension is crazy solid. There's a monster hiding in that chassis, and I always thought it was a better 86 than the GT/GR/FRS/BRZ 86. The real problem with the non-GR Corolla is the lack of low end torque. But once you open up the airbox with a TRD box, and get rid of the massive downstep in the exhaust right before the axle back flange, the M20A really does come to life after about 4500RPM and loves the high rev range. I did RS*R coilovers, sticky Falken RT's on a 17" RPF1, progress rear sway bar, previous gen corolla front endlinks (slightly shorter), TRD air box, and a Toms Racing front chassis brace. Pure backroading bliss and still capable of 40mpg under normal driving. I think the really only weak point in these cars are the manual trans. Don't think Toyota expected people to beat on these cars too hard. lol But I am sure the GR trans is MUCH better than a base trans.

The Forge unit only replaces the upper box and intake pipe though which gives a higher flow filter and less turbulent intake air flow. Not messing with anything in the lower box will keep the CEL issues and that's why the Forge option doesn't cause them.

    Single exit exhaust is a mean-looking addition. My only issue with it (and also mine on 86) - the cavity created behind the bumper (under the trunk floor) is massive and acts like a catch for all debris on the road. I had an incident I drove over a dead possum, and it caught on the edge of the rear bumper almost ripping it off. Maybe try to come up with a thin, aluminum plate connecting the bottom edge of the bumper with the subframe?

    Nice exhaust choice.. that would be my pick too - would be good to include weight savings with that kind of thing given little to no HP improvment. Wheels look great too, though I suspect RFP1 would be lighter (I'd go 17" too for the mass reduction). Surprised you went with stock tire size on such wide wheels. I'd have increased the fronts at least to 265 maybe.

  • @Elver_Galarga_jugo
    @Elver_Galarga_jugo 10 місяців тому

    Most likely than not, the CEL from an aftermarket intake is an emissions code. The new mustang GT does the same thing, when you remove the carbon traps, the car sees a slight HP bump but you get a CEL even if there are no intake leaks shown by STFT and LTFT being spot on. All it is, is the ECU looks for a certain amount of airflow for a given throttle input and if it sees more than what it should see, the ECU throws a CEL because it thinks/knows you removed the carbon traps.
    Ford does it in a real sneaky way btw, the gen4 coyote in the mustang if I'm not mistaken, adjusts fueling via a MAP sensor now, and yet you see two throttle bodies dumping into a single plenum (that's suspicious and not at all for performance), then you see one intake tube per TB and a MAF sensor on each intake. Again, a MAP based engine with MAF sensors. Why use a redundant way of fueling a car like that if it wasn't to "snitch" that you changed the airflow in to he engine.
    It's a real shame that we can't even change an intake on these newer cars for power. Now, we're going to be changing intakes for looks and not in hopes of power.

    @HondaWagovan 10 місяців тому

    The air intake thing sounds like what us Subaru Guys deal with, our cars do all sorts of weird things with cold air intakes because the calibration on the car expects to see specific things and when a cold air intake is thrown on it changes a bunch of things and throws off all the readings. Expect this intake issue only be resolved when that ECU gets cracked and tuners can make calibrations for the different brands of intakes on the market.

    • @ragweedmakesmesneeze
      @ragweedmakesmesneeze 10 місяців тому

      Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I think it's been fairly well documented that at least in modern cars, after-market intakes, at best, don't improve on the factory performance of a vehicle, and at worst, well, they make them worse. In part because the ECUs are pretty smart and keep a car operating within specs no matter what kind of plumbing changes you make. Or at least, that's my understanding of it.

    • @kengit2
      @kengit2 26 днів тому +1

      Toyota did an excellent job on all points but you do bring up a valid point for anyone doing mods. Switching to this type of exhaust that eliminates the 2 outer pipes and placing those inserts will significantly increase drag. That entire diffuser as someone elsewhere commented has now become a parachute with all those hollow openings even at the center with the smaller muffler. There is also good reason why Toyota chose not to put the Circuit edition Spoiler on the Morizo, it affects straight line stability and I can imagine with this specific Morizo they have compromised the front end bite by adding the wing. In the Circuit edition Toyota made clever subtle changes to the front end to reduce the impact of increased downforce created by the spoiler. This is a car right out of the box was designed as a sports car and no resources were spared at Toyota. Unfortunately without giving deliberate thought plenty owners are undoing the seamless engineering of the car with some of these aftermarket mods

    Great video, and love the track test 👌
    Now, I'd hope and expect the track focused edition of the GR Corolla especially after even more track focused suspension ' wheels and tyres are fitted to out perform a stock fk8 . Alll up that car with mods would be double the price of what I paid for a new fk8 in Australia' S50'500 vs around $100k in Australia so I'd definitely expect that kind of improvement no doubt about it.

    I have a gr corolla myself, the sxth element intake does not give off a CEL

    What do other modern hot hatches run on that track?

    I like the looks of the exhaust (original setup is questionable tbh) and the spoiler. Not sure about the rims. I’d prefer the stock ones.

    I like where are you going with this? What are you replacing? The stock exhaust with? Also looks good.

    I love this build. Maybe I missed it, but did you modify anything in the braking system?
