AWD Logic | RWD with some coding might be possible.

Per Kia...over 60KPH the AWD system operates under 2WD (RWD), up until the system sees the need for the clutch plates to engage. If one is good with EWD's, and coding I think our AWD Stingers could see a 100% RWD mode without error codes. Given we could fool the AWD ECU into thinking the car is traveling over 60KPH.

Given Sport mode, traction and stability turned off locks the transfer case 80/20 makes me think a tuner can hack that and provide a 100% lockout, RWD only

Our transmissions are also capable of 1,100NM of torque. Pretty impressive numbers

Where did you find this? In the manual?

This is not in the owners manual. These are documents from KIA.

1100NM torque?!? I read 800 before but where did you find 1100 and is that official?

That is the rated load, and those numbers are official. 1,100NM is 811TQ. Those are ratings for the transmission. I am still searching for the transfer case on the AWD vehicles.

That makes sense and good to know the 800TQ limit mentioned previously is official. If you don’t mind sharing where you confirmed those numbers I would greatly appreciate it. Many people have questioned the transmission limits before and would be nice to have that resource available.

Sure thing. I did make a typo though. 1,000NM TQ. Direct from KIA. This is the only TQ capacity data I can find for the transmission components.

800 WTQ limit? Horry shet. Well that won't be going anytime soon assuming cooling it doesnt become an issue. Anyone have any numbers on the rest of the driveline? I'm starting to gain more confidence in everything behind the transmission as people rag on their modded and tuned stingers and launch them repeatedly with no issues so far but knowing what Kia thinks the setup is good for would still be nice.

The transmission is the last in line to fail, there are other components designed to break prior to the transmission. I haven't found any data on the true WTQ rating on the driveline. I'd imagine there is a small safety factory in this setup, so let's say 700 WTQ before you start twisting drive shafts and stripping out front axle flanges.

Can you post where this came from? There is a big difference between being able to handle an instantaneous 1100NM once vs. daily driving 1100NM.



Also why do AWD people want RWD? Less traction and more weight sounds like the opposite of what you’d want.

See the post above...only documentation I can have. This is the load rating. Trial and error for those with the “instantaneous” Power.

Why does AMG have “drift mode” why is Kia testing the D-AWD, why does the genesis have the capability of 90/10, and future speculations of a 97/3? Those who want the stability when needed, and the attributes of the more enthusiastic and spirited driving feel of RWD.

Sorry to pop your bubble, why wouldn’t we want a more lively chassis?
