JAKARTA - Australian tuning and modification company Powertune Australia creates creativity by improving the performance of Toyota GR Yaris.

The standard Toyota GR Yaris has a 1.6 liter 3-cylinder engine powered by 268 dk. For the size of the hot hatch sold en masse, this figure is quite interesting.

Quoted from CarBuzz, Monday, May 29, the tuning company based in New South Wales, Australia increased the strength of GR Yaris to 741 dk. This force is comparable to the supercars of several well-known manufacturers, take Aston Martin DB12 for example.

The tuning company embeds an intercooler from Plazmaman. Even though they still keep the 3-cylinder engine, Australia's Powertune added a GR Yaris G30-770 turbo.

To increase the bang power of this car, Powertune installed turbo exhaust manifolds, intercooler cheeks, and dump pipes from Golebys Parts. ECU Plug-in MoTec Yaris is also part of the package.

Machine capacity was also increased to 2,200 cc from Bosch replacing 1,600 standard cc. Yaris also received the Elix Brushless fuel pump and the Akrapovic paint-back disposal system.

To improve car performance and speed, six-sequence transmission girboks were also paired with X-Shift's sequential acceleration and paired with Triple Carbon's ATS coupling.

As a result, during the trial on the dyno run, the Toyota GR Yaris can reach 740.9 dk. Where for the size of the 3-cylinder car, it is clear that its performance is far above average.

To prove its performance again, it is planned that the car will be tested on a drag track and compete with other street kings, such as Nissan GT-R and Toyota GR Supra.

For your information, the Toyota GR Yaris is owned by Peter Freedman, one of the richest people in Australia who owns the largest microphone company, RHODE.
