What did you do to your Kia Stinger today?

[G70LEbyAdoom]

Will do.

I bought a spare ECU and will have that cloned (vin changed) so I can drive the car when or if it needs a revision.

for sanity sake I would have him put the tune on the spare ECU instead of the OEM one for dealer visits.

man i like the cf cover, where did ya get that. i also like those intake boxes with the emblems. pretty sweet. your bay is clean. what do you use to wipe the rubber seal parts. some of those things are hard to reach to get clean.

Thanks, I got the engine cover from Shark Racing in Korea its OE hydro dipped CF style, here’s the link below.
For cleaning I use a damp chamois, dry microfibre cloth & a soft clean paint brush for hard to reach places etc, I’ve had my car since Nov. 2017 & have always kept it clean.

R.I.P. fuel pump

R.I.P. fuel pump

not really, its pretty obvious that either the stinger has a larger fuel tank than kia claims, or the car is programed to show you 0 when you have about a gallon left in the tank. either way, I put 16.1 gallons of gas in my stinger the other day with 17 miles left in the range, with no overflow or leaks. I shouldn't have been able to do that.

yes, all cars are like that, or you and many others would be stranded on an empty tank.

the submerged fuel pump relies on the gasoline for cooling - run it too low and burn it up.

This is the CPI vid:

Awesome. Watched the video, seems pretty straightforward. I already have the flex fuel kit so the add-on for CPI is cheaper since I don’t need the sensor.
I am going to the track tonight, I can see what difference the intakes make since that is the only mod I have done since the last time. I have full logs from last time so I can compare.

how did it go? I ran at my track last night and got a new best of 11.813, however I raised the boost ready start to be at 2500rpm on my tune, which was a mistake. I need to get it changed back down, But I was running more 11.8/11.9s leaving on 1lb of boost as I was on 5lbs before.

A little disappointing. I only got to make three runs, but I did improve. My previous best was 12.366 and I ran a 12.309.
There were a LOT of cars, probably about 100 last night. Then a ricer blew his motor halfway down the track and shut the whole thing down for over an hour while they cleaned it up.
I tried one final run on map 5 since my map 4 timing corrections were mostly 0, but for some reason, on the launch, it bogged down. I looked at my jb4 log and even though it built boost at launch, as soon as I launched, although my pedal was at 100%, the throttle went from 76 to 24, RPM's dropped and no boost. It built back up, but by then I had already lost a ton of time. Weird. Couldn't get another run after that.
Will try again in a couple weeks.
