I had a Toyota Blade Master G which is basically a Corolla hatch with the Highlander 3.5 V6. Had to do the pedal dance to turn off the ESC/TRC as there was no button to turn it off.
they tried to make it like a naturally aspirated engine, so it has the torque all the time... i think it can take more, but the stock transmission might not:-))
I saw a ship getting tied to the dock once and I can say as an expert (now having seen it) that you can't strap a car on a dyno like that. A rope should be used, and it should be massive.
Motive just put out a great video on tuning options for the Yaris, so you know where to go next for more power. Agree that I’d love to see someone lean into the WRX with the 2.4L
@@fullboost Great video! Depending how much headroom there is left in the stock fuel system, it may or may not be worth trying to mod the wrx. Sure the engine itself might be good for a lot more power but if you can't get aftermarket direct injectors for the car or a HPFP to reach your power goals it could all be a moot point. Also 10k on a motec doesn't sound like a great investment unless this is going to be a serious track car.
one of the reasons why the wrx has low boost from the low and mid range is because it can run on cheap low octane fuel, if they forced lot of pressure into that straight away, low octane fuel might start to detonate
Subaru is limiting the boost/torque on the 2.4 to protect the CVT transmissions. I think they get tax exemptions for selling more CVT cars with EyeSight safety stuff so they’re trying to push them hard globally this generation. The 6 speed can handle 360ft-lbs safely but they wouldn’t dare give it a different map because people would make a fuss about them “gimping the CVT.”
@@fullboost That's why I'm probably not going to be upgrading to the new WRX.. too many dumb decisions like excluding features from the top spec manual version.
Split case 6 speed probably wouldn't like that torque figure as it is 😂 if it was a genuine STI 6 speed, engine would only be a problem. Even then, prime motorsport in america made 500whp on factory fa24 so who knows what this generation will bring 🤷♂️
@@longdomedia yeah you need a tuner that knows what they’re doing to run 360ft-lbs with a WRX 6-speed but it can be done reliably. You just can’t pour the torque on until higher rpm. Plenty of people have cranked the FA20 up to 400/400 but it’s only a matter of time before the transmission shatters. I imagine Prime’s ‘22 would last around 3 WOT pulls on the street at that power level.
Outstanding video, I bought a new wrx for the exact reasons you say, 2.4 low boost engine.. must be some more headway than Yaris / elantraN for tuning. Do we think we could also tune in another 500-1000rpm also?? The brz seems to review with this same motor..
you guys wanna film the a45 , if you want just ask, The boost gets near 32psi on 2ltr , and the way it's mapped to bring power on is so wild. all the different modes etc, the way the power comes on just make's or breaks a car. plus a paddle shifted 8 speed box helps also, they sti makes 668nm and the merc felling way quicker and by the states's it is

The GR Yaris is very inconsistent with boost - you never know what you'll get, sometimes it's powerful, sometimes it's not. So much so that I decided to sell it.
The WRX will handle more power. And also the Yaris costs 8k more BASE than the BASE WRX. GR Corolla is 6k more than the base WRX too. For people who want something Civic SI priced with AWD and a manual with decent performance. Seems like the WRX wins.
Why does the back of the WRX look like a Civic? Also, that's not how you strap a car to a dyno. Would like to see you guys do a proper drag race, you know, dressed as women. 🤪
The yaris is meant to be an attempt to recapture the spirit of the light weight kp starlets of the 80's. Altho the car is grossly overweight compared to its P series predecessors, Toyota did manage to recapture that driving spirit and balance. Something which modern cars have long since lost. The engine does make a fair amount of hp for its size but the smaller block allows the car to be agile and when it comes to a tight mountain pass id prefer the yaris. Although the wrx's torque curve would make it a very fun car to drive on an open flowing gravel road or hill climb.
I mean a 2010 4 door Yaris weighs 200kg less than a GR, but every current car is basically a full class size heavier they used to be a decade or two ago, safety regs and tech does that unfortunately - I know I'd have a deposit down on a true 1T compact with running gear like a GR if such a thing existed.
The WRX with down pipe & exhaust, tune, cooler and a Fullboost sticker should hit 220kw@wheels at least.... I will be eagerly waiting. That boost curve is asking for it.
Ill take the wrx anyday. In fact mine arrives next month. You cant beat the WRX in the snow. In Canada its about as good as a car you can get for the weather we have to deal with here.
1618 cc vs 2388 cc, that is a 47.5% displacement deficit. yes 12 kw less and quite a bit lower torque but having a much smaller engine, the Yaris gets the win.
@@VitalJoe Dude, you are comparing a super lightweight boxer (140 lbs) like Duran, Chavez Sr. to a heavyweight (200lbs plus) like Tyson. I don't care how good and fast the 140 lb boxer is. he won't stand a chance against a heavyweight (Tyson. Ali. Foreman etc). Of course if Yaris (140 lb boxer) loses to WRX (205 lbs boxer) then it is not surprising. The fact that it makes slightly less power despite having 47% less displacement, that shows how good it is. Toyota / Lexus cars always top reliability ranking.

Subaru the best ❤
1618 cc vs 2388 cc, that is a 47.5% displacement deficit. yes 12 kw less and quite a bit lower torque but having a much smaller engine, the Yaris gets the win.
It’s running twice the boost! What about reliability and longevity? One car 1.6 at boiling point and the other 2.4 barely jogging along
@@VitalJoe Dude, you are comparing a super lightweight boxer (140 lbs) like Duran, Chavez Sr. to a heavyweight (200lbs plus) like Tyson. I don't care how good and fast the 140 lb boxer is. he won't stand a chance against a heavyweight (Tyson. Ali. Foreman etc). Of course if Yaris (140 lb boxer) loses to WRX (205 lbs boxer) then it is not surprising. The fact that it makes slightly less power despite having 47% less displacement, that shows how good it is. Toyota / Lexus cars always top reliability ranking.
you two dudes sound and look the same haha
I procrastinate to pal!
It’s a curse
What kind of sports car has a 6000rpm rev limiter lol
It's a family car not a sports car :) but yes it's ridiculous.
damn Aussies with their weird kilowatts....horsepower is so much better
It's metric mate, much easier to follow.
Wrx it's very heavy
Subaru's love to blow up on higher boost. Even with built engines.
Dyno nothing get them on the track heaps better viewing.Corners is what counts lap motorway boys what is corner.In Sydney do old Pacific HWY Berowra Waters Rd or Galston Gorge when open meet at Servo at Berowra at 11pm on Tuesday nights.good fun
Yeah see our last vid on this car 👍
@@fullboost where the old Barra bombs in? Lol
Come On tho people the yaris doesn't have a cvt option, it's clearly the worse car. The cvt is the god tier transmission
This is no comparison nobody is buying the Yaris
Interesting .... because the Yaris is sold out.
yeah look, I hear what you're saying but the WRX is ugly as sin and weak as shit engine. Yaris all the way
People said the same thing about the Yaris when it came out ☺️
