Stinger burnout/line lock

[Skyguy]

How???? Can anyone actually tell me how to do a burnout from standstill in a rear wheel drive Stinger. You know the sort where in an automatic you disengage traction control, have your left foot on the brake and smash the throttle with you right. There by baking the tyres at standstill.

For the life of me I can’t work out how to do it, and want to know how.


Cheers

Haven't purchased my Stinger yet. Did you follow the instructions in the manual?

I sure have my mate. That engages launch control which is precisely the problem. Doing it the way that you would normally do it always engages launch control.

Ahh ... I misread your post.

Not a Stinger but how bout this ... lol

Thanks bud. That guy was a donut. But yea, I know how to do a burnout and that’s how you do them. No need to add water though. Like I said, when you do that in the Stinger, launch control engages so hold the revs at 2,000 waiting to launch, but no skid.....

After 4 seconds after launch control is disabled. Maybe wait, then slowly lift the brake.

Maybe post a comment asking this guy how he did it. I'm all out of ideas.

Is this on the 2.0 as well?

I'm sure there's tons of videos on youtube on how to smoke up the rear tires. There's no line lock on the Stinger (unless you install one) so be careful of damaging the rear brakes and possibly overheating the transmission (rumor has it that's why the launch control has a 4 second limit, to keep transmission from overheating). I want to learn how to do a J-turn and do that side skidding parallel parking maneuver. I might need to disable the ABS and stability control for that though

Yip there are a few vids online, but they all seem to be from SEMA or promo stuff with journalists where I reckon Kia would have done something to the cars computer.

A skid once in a blue moon won’t harm anything.

When I took my car to the drag strip, I had the second stage traction off and I would do the burnout in comfort mode, but I couldn't get it to pass 3k rpms +/- while trying to do the burnout, I would try to gradually release the brakes in an effort to try to get the rpm's to increase, but no use. After releasing the brakes while still at WOT the car would immediately redline and continue spinning and shift into second and redline again, sometimes even going into 3rd and bogging, it was enough to get the tires warmed up and dry.

The car has a lot of safety feature in place including torque management, hopefully a tune will give us the option to turn these safety features off.

Anyone installed a line lock?

Just bought a GT, have a loaner until mine comes in. I've always had line lockers on my other cars (old muscle cars) but don't think I'll install one on the Stinger. I'm sure the computers would freak out and if ever I needed anything under warranty it would probably be rejected...haha. Definitely will need to learn how to do a burnout it though... and over 3000 rpm would be good.

If you want to do a burnout on a RWD and do the BMS brake hack and you'll spin the tires for sure lol.

BMS brake hack? What's that?

The Stinger's transmission is set up not to allow brake stand burnouts; its designed to create optimum launch with minimal wheelspin from a brake hold start, that's why RPM's are limited so low. When I launch my wheels spin and leave burnout into 3rd gear most of the time; but it didn't do that before the mods. I can get my tires to spin and smoke some but not the standstill smoky burnouts you see in videos. It is easy to create a smoky mess though by turning the wheel and a doing donut.

The dual clutch automatic BMW M3 will let you adjust launch RPM, above 3K tires spin and smoke a lot.

What mods chucky? Do you have the bms brake hack that I'm now learning about or just talking about power upgrade mods?
