Burger Tuning JB4 for Kia Stinger!

Lol quite possibly!!! I'm just going by posts he's made previously as well as a YouTube video he posted. His POV may well have changed since then, so I suppose I shouldn't be speaking for @Sales@Tork as they are also on this forum and can clarify personally

He actually states in one of his videos that he is using a lap3.

Yes we had one laying around the shop so we decided to throw it on the dyno for shits and giggles. By no means will we be keeping this on the car we simply wanted to see how it acted and may run it at the track this weekend to see if we can get and 11 second pass out of it

Torq. Can i please give you my money for engine parts? Including the FMIC? I love the sound of y'all's exhaust set up. I'm waiting to buy. Also love your YouTube videos. Keep it up.

 

[Nasty1]

Not the generic parts ordered from catalog. I want the exhaust, intake tubing....etc, set-up exactly how yours is set-up. I guess your stage 1 or 2 set-up. Cmon.

Come drop the car off at our shop for a week and we will do everything for you

Sweet. I'm heading out to dinner and a movie with the family. But will call Monday to go over options. Thanks.

I had the same problem running the lap3 chip on my Gt2. Just changed my plugs today and sure enough.

Damn

I agree and all the reviews seem to spell it out pretty clearly.

Map 2 running 16psi is a lot of extra boost for mid grade gas, especially with wide 36 gapped plugs. Sounds like re-gapping to 25 would eliminate some issues but still wouldn’t suggest running Map 2 on 91 gas. More boost needs higher octane and smaller gaps so in theory issues should be eliminated if both rules are followed. Hopefully people heed the warnings and Map 1 is enough extra power for anyone without access to 93.

I need tonchange the gap on my plugs, however ive only ran map1 on 91 octane and still had issues after 251mi of testing smh

Ran the past two days on 93 octane on map 1. Yesterday was fine, and most of today was as well. After about an hour of on and off heavy and WOT testing I started getting studders at 2500rpm that would increase further in the rpm. Anything past 4k would studder enough for check engine to flash.

Time to gap the plugs.

Your spark plugs is crack on one of your cylinder. If you take it in to your dealership and tell them what is going on. They will scan for code and open up a case with Kia. They are replacing all 6 coils and spark plugs on mine. Then I will gap them. Be sure to take your piggyback off the car completely.

So it seems as though gapping the plugs is our last resort before having to upgrade them entirely, hope terry is aware of the issues, i cant even log right now

I may have to look into this as well

Even with the car running completely fine after returning back to stock boost? I don't have any issues when running on map zero (no extra boost).

Id dont think it the tune issue. I believe we have a bad batch of spark plugs and coil issue.

 

[Hung tran]

I was on map 0 after a few pulls. It still stutter on mine still.

Could be due to plug being damaged by running the higher boost initially, either way i plan on getting mine checked out

Let me get this straight. You added a piggyback tune to increase boost, cracked the plugs, and now Kia is replacing them under warranty? I'm curious, during "tell them what's going on," did you mention the tune??

Has BT had any input on this?

Seems only those with tunes have had plug issues...at least from what I read here.

Wondering if this in fact isolated to tubes with increased boost or is there a systemic issue with all the plugs. NGK IR are fairly good plugs so this will be watched closely moving forward.

BT is well established in BMW worlds and I've not heard of those plugs ever having issue...many running NGK as well.

How many plugs/coils were damaged? Has Kia has identified a non-tune related issue with the coils & plugs? Just curious why Kia is replacing all of them.

I know none chipped care have issue too.
