Drag/Acceleration Kia Stinger 0-60 MPH Times

[Toddasaurus]

Excellent results Mr. T.

Thanks man!

For the record, EWG connectors really help especially with WMI. I'm hitting much more boost in 1st and 2nd gears now. Definitely recommended! But the above run was using almost 100% meth, and I even threw in some octane booster and a tiny bit of E85 in my tank. Using max additive in the WMI Map.

Killer Time congrats !

Im curious what are the EWG wires doing for the 0-60 by themselves ? I could never get a straight answer to weather or not the EWG wire do anything for power on this car.

EWG and WMI help up top. Stock WG is 50, you can adjust duty bias for upper rpm starting at say 5,500 +3, which would be 53 for 5500 and 6000; +2 (52) for 6500. The rest are 50's and start with the included settings in the instructions.

New record for me, and an even stronger #1 position for the Genesis crowd.

No brake snip.

Did going from 50 to 100% meth improve your times?

Did going from 50 to 100% meth improve your times?

I will say yes; but, I increased meth and octane at the same time I also increased the additive to 75 on the WMI map after said fuel changes. So, that said, I didn't necessarily directly compare using 50/50 vs 100% meth directly by keeping all the JB4 settings the same.

Even so, it did feel more powerful prior to adjusting the JB4 settings to take advantage of it. Though, it would be fair to say that it all could have been in my head.

Unfortunately, I did not measure a back to back difference after only adding the EWG connectors. But, I would say that the connectors make a noticeable difference. Again, prior to using them my logs showed only hitting 17 psi in 1st, 18 psi in 2nd, and finally 20 psi in 3rd. With the EWG connectors I'm hitting 20 psi in 1st and 2nd like I'm supposed to. That said, if you're running WMI I DEFINITELY recommend the EWG connectors.

EWG and WMI help up top. Stock WG is 50, you can adjust duty bias for upper rpm starting at say 5,500 +3, which would be 53 for 5500 and 6000; +2 (52) for 6500. The rest are 50's and start with the included settings in the instructions.

While the EWG connection is very nice in that it allows boost adjustments in 500 rpm increments, allowing increased boost in higher rpms, I must say that it improves spool time as well - that is, it effectively improves power all around, not just up top. With FF and Duty Bias settings all set at 50 I not only felt the turbos kick in harder, but like I said above it actually reached peak boost faster, allowing me to see 20 psi in 1st and 2nd gears whereas before I couldn't... Keep in mind, this is all before even increasing duty bias.

Of course this all depends on your boost targets. That said, if you're running something like Map 2, I don't think the improvement will be very noticeable (though I'm sure it will still help a tiny bit).

I just wish Terry would enable a way to build boost during launch control with the EWG control. I don't want to hash up my ECU/brake pedal harness for the brake snip. In theory we should just be able to close the wastegates a little during launch control.

I think my jb4 bugged.. ever happen to u guys?

Nice! WMI on for that one or no? Also, how do you like the Mando controller?

Wmi was definitely on. Mando I have a drag setting I made but didn't use it. Just used Mando sport. I recommend the Mando.

I did some research on the Mando and all I could find was that it gives you a greater range in suspension stiffness/looseness than the stock options. Does a much stiffer suspension make much of a difference in your acceleration or is it more to reduce body roll when cornering?

Yes it can. A lot of people overlook just how much of an impact suspension setup and weight transfer on launch can help you with traction off the line. This would be especially true for RWD cars.

Thanks for the explanation! The thought had crossed my mind, but I didn't want to replace my suspension to stiffen it up. If I just install/replace a controller, that might be worth looking into.

Then again, I'm not sure how much of a difference I'll feel if I'm not doing things like a brake snip or WMI. I currently run a JB4 on Map2 with 93 octane, DIY intakes, and 22lb wheels on an AWD GT2. 0-60 is between 4.25 and 4.35 on a cold day.

I'll eventually get a new intercooler and secondaries, but that's about it for performance mods... unless this suspension upgrade can shave another 0.1seconds off my 0-60 and make for a noticeably more sporty ride.

And it's not just stiffness, you want to reduce rebound in the front so the front rises and transfers weight to the rear.

When is John gonna release his launch control revisions for the Stage 1 and 2 tunes? I gave up after calling them every week for a couple months. Lol.

The Mando can control rebound too? I thought it was just a stiffness/softness adjustment that affects the entire suspension evenly? I'll have to try to find more documentation from Mando about this.

Compression and rebound front and rear seperatly and by mph.

He is still working on LC. The faster throttle opening is pretty minor improvement from what the tune already had.
