Video cut off at the good part. Please settle the silliness about how the valve springs are stronger from factory on the GRC! If anything, they're still rated for max potential from factory.
We need to do further investigation but yes it was rumoured the alloys in the pistons have changed. Made a short video about all the engine changes a while ago here: GR Corolla vs GR Yaris: Top 5 Engine Differences ru-vid.comS87hXoSNhWg?feature=share
Very nice video, I remember when GRC came out, there was lots of press release info that it has larger valves l, but knowing how Toyota makes things, I was very skeptical about it 😂
Thank you! Yes, we were totally thinking the same. When the GRC came out we were doing our research too and made this video which mentions the valves being different but turns out they're not! ru-vid.comS87hXoSNhWg?feature=share
I have a rally-spec GR Yaris and plan to upgrade to the GR Corolla exhaust parts. Can I keep my Yaris head and only change the exhaust cam, pulley, valves, springs and lashes? those are the only parts I saw with different part number (apart from the head of course).
What power are you aiming for out of this build? Are there any restrictions in your rally competition to use aftermarket engine internals? Just curious why you'd run OEM parts if you're building an engine for racing.
@@denstoj we use a 34mm turbo restrictor. All apart is free. However, we aim for high torque under 4500 rpms more than high horsepower at 5000 and above. Thanks for the quick answer 🙌
Ah got it! So many low end pulls from the cornering. That levels out the power between competitors nicely. Have you considered running the 267-EZ Kelford Cams?
Yes, the EZ would be the ones to get for your setup. Kelford are running a 10% off promotion on their G16E cams for July as they just finished a big run of production. 😎 Let us know if you have any other questions.
@@denstoj Yes but not a Toyota (Subaru EJ204). This issue exists with a lot of Japanese car models and given the exhorbitant prices of auto parts in Australia, I reckon it's worth trying, albeit with some small risk.
Ah got it! We were going to look into importing from Japan but for now, it was easier to order directly from Toyota in Australia considering the GR Yaris head was reasonably priced but yes, definitely worth trying. Regarding if the GR Yaris head would work on the GR Corolla, we'd have to look further into how the vacuum pump fits with the camshaft to give a definitive answer.
