Drag/Acceleration Kia Stinger 1/4 Mile Times

It was. Track kind of sucks too. There is no way around the water box either

Yeah. Same at the track by me. I hate driving through it. But at least with AWD we don’t have to worry quite as much about hooking at launch. I’ll looking forward to getting another run in now that it’s cooler out.

Has anyone torn down the 3.3 yet? While the weak links may be the trans and all things behind it, the fact remains that certain components within the engine can only handle so much power like pistons, connecting rods, crank, etc. While it's apparent the 3.3 can handle "more than stock" I'll hold my breath calling it a new V shaped 2JZ.

I believe a couple tuners already have. See my quote below about this from another thread.

This was discussed before but cant remember the names of the other threads. However, I feel like the consensus was that the engine & transmission limits were around 800HP/TQ!

I know there are tuners in S.Korea that added bigger turbos and are already pushing 500-600WHP. I havent read about any issues or failures yet so we probably have a little more to go before hitting transmission limits.

However, if I had to guess which part of our Stingers is the weakest link I would think its the LSD (Limited Slip Differential) (Limited Slip Differential). Unfortunately there are dozens of cases of differentials failing and I happened to be one of them. I'm hoping it was just a defective part, but that and the plugs/coils seem to be the weakest links so far...

@Tonkabob Can you update the list to the 1st post please? Make it easier to see instead of hunting through pages.

Can't unfortunately unless a moderator can change permissions. After some time passes the edit option goes away.
I'll refresh the top list this weekend after i take the top AWD spot back! ☺

If you post the updated list as a Reply one of us can go back and update the first post.

Good luck! I am trying to get some buddies to go to the track this weekend as well. I just got my car back from the dealer. They updated the transmission shift logic while it was there and it helped a lot with the hesitation on launch. Not sure if you are getting that as well.

I'm hitting the track Saturday. Got some tork ECU tune updates from @TorkMe yesturday. 0-60 times have dropped more than .15 so hoping to break the AWD record.
I haven't gotten the dealer update and try to stay clear of dealers. ☺

Hi all. Apologies if this shouldn't be in this thread but I felt it applied. Just had two runs using my new Dragy. Bone stock, GT1. 72 degrees, car was normal temp, not cooled. My elevation is 3740 ft. Best run was 13.43 @ 104mph. I'm impressed as all get out! Can't wait to make a few adjustments.

Don’t forget about the 2.0 RWD.

But you are the only one! You are the fastest and the slowest.

 

[Allmanb]

@Tonkabob Were you able to make any runs this weekend?

 

[Tonkabob]

So my AWD record breaking run didn't materialise. However, with these 60 foot and 330 times (1.90 and 5.22) this 92 octane tune is heading for 12.2s.

I just got my car back from paint on Thursday, headed directly to Tork for a beta 1+ tune update and racing on Saturday. We didnt have time to dyno but the car just rips on the road. On the track the ecu was pulling throttle to 25% throttle for 4-5 seconds starting around 70 mph just before the 1/8th mile.

Pretty odd running a 12.7 at only 101!
The 330 time is .11 faster than syms 12.33 record so low 12.2s look possible.
Mods are JT intake, Ultimate FMIC, custom catback, Tork 1+ beta ecu tune.

(I'm half way between the tork 1 and 1.5 tunes as i don't have secondary cat delete)

So you hit 12.44 beforehand, and now ran a 12.7?

 

[Bryan3.3]

Wether I am or not it’s documented and should be posted.

 

[Doel]

looks like the case, not surprising since his car was killing throttle halfway through the run. Is this overboost or is the ecu killing power over something else?

Ge

yeah. I think it’s ecu taking the wheel

There's a dude on the N54 tech forum who says he's deep into the 11s with JB4 and meth. Not sure if he's a member here but if true he's by far the fastest Stinger in N.A.

Specifically he posted:

Was able to get it to the track this evening with a car club. The Stinger is an absolute beast on WOT now. Low to mid 11s on 95 octane, best run 11.2s 1/4 and I'm not done with it yet.

@bal this you?

I dont think you can do that with stock turbos, love to see a slip or video before I pull out the credit card.
