• PLEASE! It is VERY important that this area is not used for the discussion of technical issues with your Stinger. This section is for posting about regional-specific things like Stinger clubs, events, local vendor or dealer recommendations, KiaStinger.com member sightings, etcetera... In other words, I do NOT want people to need to scour through several different sections to find answers about their heads up display. That's why there's a section dedicated specifically to discussions like that. THANK YOU!

Yeah I've watched a few and subscribed. I'm looking forward to some mods and tune. It's a bit painful watching you, for the most part, get your ass handed to ya. :cool:

ha, its all in fun and thanks for Sub'n
I'm getting closer on a tune, but it's not a rush.. and to be fair, I've beaten some Mustang GT's, Ferarri (crappy one, but I'll take it, ha), Camaro SS, Merc 550, Vette, Challengers, bmw's...
I'll lose less when tuned, but still to many. I don't plan on any mods, just a tune, higher 94 octane for drag strip days, and spark plugs upgraded soon.. that's it, likely forever.
and I haven't used e-brake the last few times out, as I dont want to break it :-)

Carbon cleaning, before and after video coming soon

The tune is the best bang for the buck, along with the snorkels and K&N drop in you should see significant gains.

How many miles on your Stinger? Carbon cleaning is a 50,000+ mile thing IMO. Interested in that video for sure. Then once you're clean the recent catch can install will demonstrate how well that works (or doesn't) at preventing buildup, scoping the backs of the valves at regular intervals.

If you keep the channel up to date and consistent with tracking the changes over time, it could prove to be a good resource beyond just Stinger interest.

I have 44K kms I suspect it'll not be super carboned up, but some say spray way has to be done more often, and if walnut blasting, then you can go longer, but if performance is also down by going too long and if fuel economy suffers a wee bit, sooner is better. I maybe should have done it at 25K kms

Yes something like seafoam has to be done more frequently, and isn't as effective removing bad buildup.

I've had an ADD W1 v3 installed since early in. Does a great job of capturing oil. Picture below is after a couple of months. Probably got about a tablespoon in the can. Looks more because of the angle. Did pickup CRC and will be doing it soon. Have just over 20k on the car.20210824_082953.jpg
 
"Stinger vs CLS550"....our guy was off by a little......I was checking these out when I first bought the Stinger and that model year, does have the turbo v8 but HP is little over 400 and trq up there as well. Gross wgt is little over 4K. Those things move.....to be so darn heavy.
 
and our Stingers aren't light either. My gt2awd is 4165 lbs
