YRV 1.3L Turbo! FASTEST Car in its class?

[Pat10lim]

i was only saying that YRV turbo can match most cars up to 1.8litre in stock.

then so many people say YRV turbo is faster than most 2litre cars.that YRV turbo ain't stock anymore.

put a turbo in a K20A,iam sure a modded YRV turbo can't even match it.

isn't it great enough that YRV turbo can match most cars up to 1.8litre in stock?

though i had never driven the YRV turbo before.but in NSHW,a 3 series might not have to wait until 200km/hr then smoke the YRV turbo.

you will be surprise how bigger cc cars are in higher speed though their sprint sucks.

 

 

ya a stock yrv turbo isnt fast enough but it can still match 2L(na) or even some 2.4L(na) car. but it can never win a type r... but wif a basic mod eg. air filter, unichip and exhaust it can outrun most 2L(na) n 2.4L(na) car even if i put this mod to those car... but wad u say abt a 3 series might not have to wait until 200km/hr then smoke the yrv turbo is wrong.. wif those basic mod on both car... the 3 series will need to wait for his top speed b4 he can catch up because my friend driving a slk230 was shock that he cannot catch up even when they start at speed of 110km/hr and when he reach 180 that fellow already exit out of the nshw....

thats becos YRVt has more torque at lower rev then most cars....

thats why pickup also faster especially at rolling starts with rpm ard 3k rpm.

 

torque is something many pple neglected, which in sg context, i think its more important then bhp, since we have so many traffic lights......

[Clio]

i think u have some dyno sheet to show some ppl over here?

 

to everyone else: torque is king in american term.

 

to turbonetics: maybe u can join us for track someday with your esi typo r(wing i mean)

[Felipe]

wat are u looking for?

u r not down to earth.

 

lets face it...we are not MS or KR or FA.

 

and car manufacturer has to manufacture a car that is profitable and not making a car to make u look like a street hero.

 

it is true the sti is catching up later...but think about this at STI point of view...

 

if u r the driver on a cool night @ orchard road with a pretty girl, kana tear side by side with a yrvt...how would u feel?

 

have u drove the sss b4? i bet you dont becoz the car doesnt excel in sprint(IMO)...

but if i have the extra moolah to refinance my car i would get the sss for its good chassis.

 

not all car are perfect unless u r multi billionaire.

 

reading your posts, you dun seem to read my posts in its proper context. and with due respects, i don't think it's appropriate to make personal statements here about one's character.

 

i was responding to the sti vs yrt video, period. nothing more nothing less. if u wish to bring in other variables like Orchard Road, pls try to refrain from responding directly to my posts.

 

as for bmw vs the yrvt, it was in clear reference to someone's post about the yrvt being faster. i was trying to place things in the proper context bcos faster can sometimes be subjective. in fact, i clearly mentioned the swift sport as being a good competitor to the yrvt, placing all variables together such as cost, performance etc. Hope this makes things clearer

are u a clone of turbonetics?

[Julian]

This YRV looks familiar

[Clio]

easy, to ease all your queries.

 

the spec is as followed.

 

yrvt - modded

power: 190bhp on dyno machine. with torque around 295nm.

weight: 950kg kerb

transmission: 4 speed auto

pwr: 200hp per ton

twr: 310nm per ton

 

sti - stock

power: on paper 265hp MI euro model. (note: paper figure are higher before transmission lost on the dyno)

weight: 1459kg kerb

transmission: 6 speed manual

pwr: 181hp per ton (note: paper figure are higher before transmission lost on the dyno)

twr: 274nm per ton (note: paper figure are higher before transmission lost on the dyno)

 

venue -

pasir gudang 300m straight

 

time -

1200

 

type of play -

rolling start to handicap sti to suit yrvt auto

 

to proof -

sti engine is much more powerful, but every trackie knows that weight is the ultimate horse killer.

 

conclusion -

no offence to any sti owner. your car is still faster especially after some basic mod.

but it is a fact that weight is a disadvantage.

i don't understand why do you sound so agitated.

i was saying that the RSM will not be accurate if the settings are done wrongly.i don't mean the 6.9sec is not accurate.

i did not said 1/4 mile is not good enough.i said its good enough to define how fast a car is.

my comments are all based on a stock vs stock cars.if talking about modded ones,then its different story.endless one.

 

yup... i did the wheel dia correction, and it turns out the RSM shows my speed almost 10km/h slower than the stock speedo. means i have to get the stock meter to 110km/h for the RSM to read 100km/h

[Yc86]

Here's a fact and its a drag in PG between close friends.

 

STi is stock while YRV-T is slightly modded (Unichip+Filter+BC)

 

All I can say with what you pay for Road Tax and Price of this car, its definitely

a Bang for your buck.

 

 

 

the sti didn't look like it was giving it's best

 

but the yrv didn't do too bad either... can see the first 1 or 2 gear, pickup is faster than sti..

[Yc86]

that video clock showed 9-10 seconds.. and that strip is 300m hor.

 

mmm.... sti does the quarter mile in almost 13sec... from the gap by 300m, can say the yrv will prob do it in 15+ to 16sec?

 

the ignis sport will do the quartermile at 16.5+sec stock

[Felipe]

are u a clone of turbonetics?

 

yr asking a question which has no relevance to tis discussion. let's remain objective about this topic. i won't go into name callings. tats for ppl with a different mentality.

YRVt is a jap designed and engineered car.......FYI, if u dont know. thats why i stated what i stated. and thats why I can concluded to u that YRVt can run top speeds on NSH without problem, and there are pple who have been there and done that.

 

and if dont already know, Daihatsu is a sister company of Toyota, and the engine technology of DVVT is actually a clone of toyota VVTi.

[Perseus76]

not too sure how much the YRVt can do in quater mile, since no one I know had mentioned to me quater mile timings..........but base on the PG strip of 300m, doing abt 9 to 10 secs.....probably a good estimate would be ard 15 secs.

 

the 300m strip is only good enough for up to 2nd gear usually.

 

I ever tried my once stock YRVt with another of my friend stock IS, we were on par throughout the 300m, but turbo cars tends to have an advantage at higher rpm, when boost starts kicking in.......so i suspect the YRVt probably has a 0.5sec advantage if doing a full quater mile....

 

the IS and SS are good competitors to the YRVt, and sure, it sure will give the YRVt a good run for its money......but nothing beats the thrill of the boost kicking in.

Ehh... u say 2.0 uncle car one mah. Your statement was so striking. Whats more, you said that "i am confident to say a stock yrvt is enough to embarass any 2.0 litre". Your word "any" says it all. At least, quote model and specs.

 

Since you didn't mention what 2.0 NA, there are many 2.0 litre NA in the market. If you are not specific about the model, of course I can say any 2.0 NA I want, rite. Thats precisely my point, you are not even specific in comparing the rides, to begin with. I rest my case.

the tranny.....should be able to hold, but not sure how much it can holds up to, but understand that those on 200 horsies....

 

Now there's a word I havent heard for a long time!! Singaporeans dont use the word "tranny" mate! Thanks for the remisiscence.

 

hahaha, singaporeans dont use the word mate as well.....something which i miss during my aussie days....."good day mate"

 

Cheers mate!!

I repeat. The Starlet GT Turbo does not exist in SG. I apply all plausible denials on this matter.

[Genie47]

I deny that I was one of the evil ones.
