The Korean company VF Tuner apparently has the control unit of the Toyota GR Corolla cracked. This should make it possible to use the performance potential of the GR Corolla fully exploit. And under the right conditions, it could even improve engine longevity. The GR Corolla as the GR version delivers a maximum of 305 hp (224 kW), but the performance of the three-cylinder should be Chiptuning can be increased to 350 hp (256 kW). You have to open the controller to do this. According to VF Tuner, the team plans to start beta tuning later this week after cracking the ECU code. The tuner shared the news on a GR Corolla Facebook group and according to VF, with the ability to change settings in the software, you can do pretty much anything. You can also save fuel by adjusting the fuel and boost pressure with the right timing.

And with an unlocked ECU, VF Tuner can also use E85 instead of petrol. That would help protect the engine while running with more boost pressure. It can be assumed that it will soon be possible to switch between different ECU maps while driving. According to the VF Tuner Facebook page, they are already working on such functions for the GR Corolla and the GR Yaris. The ability to switch between different maps while driving is a cool feature that allows the car to switch from a performance map to a consumption-oriented map without having to stop and install different software. We are excited!
