PRESSERtech Kia Stinger GT Dyno RESULTS!!

[StingerAZ]

We are preparing the video to prove the dyno pulls. It should be live on our website, Facebook page and YouTube this evening.

Video is live.

Looks like all rear wheel drive cars....no all wheel?

Have you been able to crack the TCU? There seems to be a bunch of nagging tuning issues with trying to get the car to both launch and get the e.t. down dispite the great power increases by other tuners.

Yes, we will do all wheel stingers as well. We just havent had one in shop yet.

Hi, no, we have not done any tcu tuning. We were able to adjust the torque limit/ curve nicely.

We are probably a ways off for the tcu upgrade. Hell, we have been trying to crack the Mercedes, 7 speed trans for over 10 years (as of this post, no one has). This car really is awesome with just our upgrade. The trans is receiving our torque requests from the ecu, speeding up shifts even faster. If you notice our graph, in the upgrade, you see we are immediately pulling stupid torque! This thing really launches. In our 0-60 tests we showed .8 secs faster than stock. Conditions were harsh and car easily became heat soaked. Best stock time was 5.2. Best tuned time was 4.4

Oh PRESS thats awesome!

Hello, Thanks for the full results.

What is the full cost of the ECU flash to your stage 2 if i send in an ECU?

Also, is there a veteran discount you offer?

Hi, we do offer a discount for veterans. Please contact us directly. The regular cost is 1250.

Thank you. I will contact you shortly. Trying to see if my dealer will loan me an ECU

Do you guys have anything to improve the response of the throttle pedal ? I find the factory setup is very laggy feeling and unresponsive.

Is there a way to make the engine more snappy with some sort of throttle tuning ?

Hi, yes, our tuning really improves reponse! The hot summer weather makes these cars laggy and the tune really helps.

Great news!
Looking forward to jumping in when I can feel confident that plug changes aren't necessary.
Opinions on how many miles on the test car would make you feel secure that stock plugs and/or gap do not need to be changed.
2k, 5k or more?

150k.

Just kidding. I'm waiting for 5-10k. Also waiting for my wife to forget how much I spent on the car. That one might be a bit longer. Lol.

 

[4wheelpilot]

5-10k sounds good.
So how can we get a spare/extra ecu?
And cost?

 

[Dochidalgo]

I confess to being ignorant about the tune process. But, it sound logic for me, that more horse power means less miles per gallon, or this asumption applies in normally aspirated engines only???....For example, the K&N filters, the more air enters the engine, the ECU has to inject more gas in order to mantain the air/fuel ratio 14 & fraction:1, so the MPG is reduced......

 

[Dochidalgo]

PRESSERtech LLC.......I have a question, Are you able to tune the "adaptative suspension" a 25% stiffier in all the drive modes than stock? More engine power needs the tires "well planted" on the ground....so to speak....
My crazy assumption is based on this.....A fellow member of this forum had a electronic glitch in such way that the suspension become stiffiest than stock, the problem was solved when the ECU was reseted, or something like that.....
Thanks for your reply.....

Yes, more power requires more fuel. However, fuel economy is directly proportional to how much of the additional power you demand out of the engine.

It you continue to drive at the same leisurely pace as you did before a tune, it still only takes X amount of power (and fuel) to maintain that same rate of acceleration and cruise - and you should achieve similar fuel economy, possibly better depending on the new power curve and your personal driving style. If you tap into the extra power made available by a tune, then you'll pay for it in increased fuel burn.

This is exactly correcr and our tune is showing between 3-5% increase in mpgs. This because we are able to make the power at a lower rpm.

I will let everyone know when our test car reaches 5k. Though, i feel confident that our tune will be fine with stock plugs until recommended factory mileage change.

Would you be willing to comment on why other tunes seem to require different plugs? There's a thread going talking about replacements, but what do you do differently that does not require them to be changed?

.. and if not, that's fine too! I plan to "drop by" your shop next time I go to Adventure Outdoors..

Second question - in the Stinger Talk forum, there's discussion about launch control being "a joke" - if indeed the case, what would fix that, and, would that be something you could incorporate into a tune?
