What a round! ...... We are so proud to be involved with some of the cars at the top of the pro sport championship this season. The teams pulled off a 1,2,4 today and it makes all the hours worth it ♥οΈ
Back at it again tomorrow for round 4 as this round is a double header π₯΅

Just a quick one ....we have struggled with IATs as the power level has increased on the @86fighters 86 with Taupo being the tipping point to look for other options.
We contacted HDi in Australia with the hopes of getting something a little better...fast forward HDi sent us their amazing GT2 intercooler that has completely changed the 86 for the better.
Peak temps during competition were hitting the mid 70c's now sitting flat between mid 30s to 40c we never would have thought we would see such a drastic improvement!
If you are looking for an intercooler that hits the mark and isn't a million dollars we are proud to now be a distributor for this amazing product.
In conjunction with our friends @turbocarenz we are thinking about running a pop-up event in Christchurch! We have been developing some GT stage 1 files for Honda FK8, FL5 , VW Golf MK6-7 ...some of the Audi range + more and will be the first time TPD can offer tuning on some selected cars in the south Island π₯
We will have products on display including our K20C turbos & Downpipes plus VW turbo upgrades , GR Yaris and more π
If this is something you might be interested in please send an enquiry to JP@torqueperformance.co.nz with your car details and we will if we can make this happen.
Make sure you jump across to our YouTube channel and check out JPs trip to Japan !
Well I'm back from Japan with some new updates and some new insights into our K20C development.
As most of you are aware we are not using a 3rd party to tune the FK8 or FL5 platform...no ecu hardware exchange or jail breaking needed.
After our turbo and downpipe have proven themselves our only setback has been fuel as we have not had the ability to add bigger injectors to the OEM software. Research, trial and error got us to start testing in-tank pumps and trying to nail the current draw vs flow issue with success! We now have a pump kit available that works perfectly with the OEM ecu and dropped the development car from 98% duty on the fuel system total to 88% making things a lot saferπ€£
But the big news is @tpd_tuned ( Dan ) is now working on a software upgrade that will finally allow us to push further and add in bigger injectors and high pressure fuel pump π in turn giving me the opportunity to turn it up! And see what the turbo can really do π this will also give us the option to not sacrifice any drivability or adding extra cost bar the injectors and fuel pump kit.
J's Racing was also kind enough to share some data as we have done from our program.. to make sure we are definitely delivering the best tuning possible for these platforms with no sacrifices.
We will keep you updated once we have the beta software in our little hands and then hopefully change the game on these cars as the sky will be the limit π built engine , drag , street , big turbo will all be available to do on a STOCK ECU π₯

Tune finished on the GR Corolla, was suprisingly how similar the maps were compared to the Yaris, a bit more timing and more boost after 5500rpm is how Toyota is getting an extra 21kW more than the Yaris.
Dyno is reading slightly higher than Toyota claims but worked with that as a starting point. Final results netted 24kW and 50Nm over factory an alot more punchy down low in the revs.
