Bigger Turbo Options for the Kia Stinger

[Matt77]

More power can be had by pulling the turbos and increasing the compressor wheel and housing but this would be sacrificing some low end response. It's not hard, just need someone who doesn't care about warranty lol.

I am still keen to add slightly bigger turbos and in looking at the in built manifold, would likely need to laser cut some steel and machine finish to match then weld a large stub pipe. I know there isn't much room around current turbos, but potentially if fabricating a new bespoke manifold and pipe, could re-route to a different location , and possibly above the motor, but obviously you would then need a boss 429 style bonnet scoop to make room for the turbos and re-route cold air directly to them. Depends on how much money one wants to spend lol.

Take advantage of the fake hood vents and turn them into cutouts that your massive turbos can stick out of

Here you go:

Also, PTP is going to make a turbo blanket for the 2.0 but unlikely for the 3.3T. Theyre not sure there is enough room for the blanket on the 3.3T turbos.

Any news on the turbo blanket for the 2.0?

 

[Never thought]

Any news on the turbo blanket for the 2.0?

You’d have to reach out to the company. No clue.

Hey guys, I emailed them on this. They need someone to come in so they can work on it. They are located in Texas if anyone is interested in driving down.

There is already bigger turbos on a stinger in Korea. YouTube 750 hp kia stinger. Lap3 is putting kit together to buy bigger turbos,tubing,and tune.

Yea, ive seen that somewhere. There was pics for both models. I had a hard time with findimg the info on that. Do you have where lap was talking about it?

There trying to make sure there ecu update is on lock down before they release and sell whole package. They have a Facebook page with info. They got like almost 650hp at wheel and over 500 pounds of tq at wheels.

In rolling start the car is lightning fast but the drag times are pretty disappointing (last result shared was 12.1 without RT). I don't know if they addressed the issue.

 

[Fl stingergt]

Ya the set up lost all low end power. My car runs faster then that with just all the reg mods and jb4.

 

[Angeski]

Is that without a chip? Also what kind of numbers are in the 2.0T?

 

[Fl stingergt]

I have 3.3 with chip. These turbos do pretty good for me . Raced mini cars that supposed to have all this big hp with v8. You can make the stinger dam fast for a 40 thousand car.

Does that include any other upgrades or is that by itself? Have they released any nunbers dor the 2.oT

 

[Fl stingergt]

Intakes,full exhaust, plugs,jb4,lsd . My buddy has 2018 corvette with exhaust intakes and tune. I pull him couple cars until we hit 105mph then we are dead even to 120

 

[Fl stingergt]

That’s why these turbos are not that bad to hang with a car that’s 600 pounds lighter then the stinger.

As far as I know, nobody tunes 2.0, noone realy knows how strong is this open deck engine. Correct me if I am wrong.

 

[Angeski]

Just makes me want to step up and do it first. Lol

The 2.0T in the Stinger is yet another version of the 2.0T Theta that's in the Optima/Sonata, the Veloster N, and was in the Genesis Coupe. Based on all of that, I'd say basic bolt-ons and a tune should get the car up to maybe 300-ish whp and low-mid 300's wtq on the stock turbo. Assuming you keep torque and boost down as you go to a larger turbo and also assuming Kia didn't go backwards and give it weaker internals, the motor should be able to handle 400 or so whp, maybe up to mid 400s, again depending on the tune and how torque is delivered. There's piggyback options for the 2.0T and I'm pretty sure ECU flash options are at least on the way, but I haven't looked into it much because GT.

Optima gt was a weak engine (at least what we got here), I know a few blow ones with low mileage even without a tune (my friends optima died at 40k km). Thats what worries me.

When there will be a few stingers around with 350-400whp, then we can say it is reliable. Before having this info, it is risky to be the first, who tunes this car.

Uh, there are actually a LOT of Stingers with 350-400WHP because that's achievable with basic bolt ons... Some of us are just restless when it comes to power, lol
