Drag/Acceleration Kia Stinger 1/4 Mile Times

[Tonkabob]

Set a few new forum records today.
11.66 1/4 at 119.71
7.56 1/8th at 95.13
0-60 7.73
Not records, but also hit my first 120 mph trap and did a 10.08 60-130 for the roll racers.
Changes are 23 lb wheels and midpipe (secondary cat delete). Most the gains were from the wheels. Before and after 0-60 testing showed 0 gain for the pipes.
Temp was 31 degrees and 300 foot elevation.

Congrats those are monster times, Just when we were narrowing the gap, lol.
Good work!

Monster times indeed, mid 11s is nuts! I can't believe wheels made that big of a difference

I added your time to the Google doc (entry form here: Kia Stinger 1/4 Mile Times)

I put the DA and new info on the second tab but the first tab is locked.

I put the DA and new info on the second tab but the first tab is locked.

First tab is locked because I created the entry form which has pre-determined questions / mod list to keep it consistent. It's much easier for everyone to just fill in the form rather than fumble around with a spreadsheet

Congrats! Looks like the lighter rims were worth around 1mph for you too.

 

[Tonkabob]

Looks like I caught up on @Terry@BMS 60-130 roll time. I ran a 10.08 on a 11.68 1/4 vs his 10.05. I didn't go to 130 on my 11.66 run.
I also had about .2% less slope.
I got my dragy random slope issues fixed. There was a fan viewing over pass on the old track that seemed to whack out the dragy slope. With out the over pass the slope was very consistent.

I wish we had more 60-130 times!

very nice. I have a feeling this is damn close to the limit for stock turbos, maybe a RWD could take your crown with some slicks at a track. Does anyone have an 11.5 in them? We'll see

Is anyone other than lap3 testing upgraded turbos? I'd have no issue driving a new stinger straight off the dealer lot to have some aftermarket turbos installed (archiving the OEM turbos) if that's what it's going to take to make significant gains over what we have today.

Cheers!

I bet there is another 20 to 25 horsepower up top with his tune. He is still tapper up top with boost, if I can maintain that boost at 20 to 21 psi, I bet we can hit 11.4. Also, I have not fixed the throttle lag at launch. When the throttle lag is addressed, I bet we can drop .1 off his 60 ft time. It will be exciting to see just how far into the 11's we can push a non methanol injected Stinger on pump gas

We are working on bolt on turbos, but fueling need to be addressed first.

In all honesty, I would love to install a set of G25-550 Garretts on the Stinger in the factory location. That makes for a 800 + hp combo

Now you're talking. I would have no issue at all paying for that, but am a bit reticent about being the guinea pig.

Cheers!

Hopefully sales pick up on Stinger parts so we can move forward with this kit.

Amazing stuff, definitly 11.5 or below with boost off the line once that is resolved.

Which wheel/tire setup did you go with?

 

[brancky3]

No offense to anybody, and I mean this in the most productive way possible, but a 1.85 60ft (Tonkabob's last run) is absolutely terrible. Nothing against Tonka / Tork / etc, it's just where the platform is at right now. When trapping ~120mph I feel like we should be cutting 1.6s with ease. I had a big turbo Audi A4 ~15 years ago which ran 12.7 @ 110 and even that thing cut a 1.7 60ft.

I really hope there is progress on anti-lag soon or this platform may never be taken seriously for 1/4 mile performance

Completely agree, like i keep saying back-end flash is the next big thing for this platform.

I am running an ecu tune but the launch is still near stock. Tork is working on that. My typical LC launch is at 0 psi and 2350 to 2455 rpm. Throttle doesn't fully open until 12 mph.
