Description

The HKS Power Editor R Vehicle-Specific Kit is a comprehensive, professional-grade tuning solution designed to unlock significant power and torque from the GR Corolla’s turbocharged G16E-GTS engine. This complete plug-and-play system combines a vehicle-specific wiring harness with the versatile Power Editor R unit, providing preset boost-up maps and advanced multi-dimensional control. It delivers substantial gains—up to +23kW (+30PS) and +38N·m (3.9kgf·m) of torque—through precise management of boost, fueling, and throttle response, all while maintaining OEM-like drivability and smooth power delivery.

Product Overview & Purpose

This kit bridges the gap between basic plug-in tuners and complex stand-alone ECUs. It works alongside the factory ECU (or an HKS Mastery ECU), intelligently intercepting and optimizing key sensor signals to safely increase boost pressure and engine performance. The included, model-specific harness and pre-loaded data provide a powerful, “install and drive” upgrade path, while the free Easy Writer software opens the door to ultimate customization for experienced tuners.

Product Highlights

⚡ Significant, Proven Power Gains
Internal dyno testing confirms transformative results, achieving +23kW (30PS) and +38N·m (3.9kgf·m), for a total output of 234kW (318PS) and 428N·m. These gains are especially pronounced in the mid-to-high RPM range, dramatically improving overtaking, corner exit acceleration, and overall responsiveness. Maximum boost is increased to 206 kPa (2.10 kgf/cm²).

🔌 True Plug-and-Play Harness Integration
The kit includes a GR Corolla-specific intercept harness that connects to the factory engine sensor wiring via dedicated couplers—no cutting or splicing required. This ensures a clean, reliable, and completely reversible installation that preserves the OEM harness integrity.

🎛️ Advanced Multi-Dimensional Tuning Control
Unlike simple boost controllers, the Power Editor R utilizes multiple sensor inputs for intelligent, conditional control. By accessing throttle position, RPM, and vehicle speed signals, it can apply different tuning maps for each gear and throttle opening. This results in smoother, more linear power delivery with “no dips,” feeling natural and factory-engineered.

💻 Pre-Loaded Maps & Unlimited Customization
The unit comes with optimized, preset boost-up data developed by HKS, providing impressive out-of-the-box performance. For ultimate personalization, the free HKS Easy Writer software allows users or professional tuners to create custom calibrations, fine-tuning for specific modifications, fuel quality, or driving style.

Technical Specifications

• Product Name: Power Editor R Vehicle-Specific Kit

• Model Code: 42018-AT025

• Compatibility: Toyota GR Corolla (GZEA14H, G16E-GTS, October 2022 – February 2025 production). Morizo Edition (Gen2) compatibility not confirmed.

• Kit Includes: Power Editor R Universal Control Unit, GR Corolla-specific plug-and-play harness, reset connector.

• Key Performance: Up to +30PS & +3.9kgf·m, 234kW (318PS) total.

• Required Software (for custom tuning): HKS Easy Writer (Free Download).

Performance Philosophy

• Goal: To provide a safe, substantial, and sophisticated power increase that enhances the turbocharged character of the GR Corolla without compromising daily reliability or drivability. The focus is on seamless integration, conditional control, and accessible tuning.

• Focus: The definitive electronic performance upgrade for the GR Corolla owner with supporting modifications. It is ideal for those with HKS bolt-on mods (intake, exhaust, intercooler) who want to maximize their gains with a professional, yet user-friendly system that offers both plug-and-play convenience and deep tunability.

Installation & Tuning Notes

• 🔧 Professional Installation & Setup Recommended
  While the harness is plug-and-play, installation requires routing and securing the unit. Professional installation is recommended to ensure all connections are secure. Critical: The system should be installed and the vehicle tested/verified by a technician familiar with performance tuning.

• ⚠️ System Requirements & Best Practices

  • Synergy with Modifications: For maximum and safest results, this tuner is designed to work with HKS intake and exhaust systems (as used in testing: Cold Air Intake Full Kit & LEGAMAX Sports).

  • Compatibility with Mastery ECU: Can be used in conjunction with an HKS Mastery ECU (e.g., Phase 1 for limiter cut), but requires additional setup and tuning on the actual vehicle for optimal integration.

  • Reset Function: The included reset connector allows the vehicle to be returned to stock sensor signals instantly for dealer visits.
