LAP3 Pro-Tuner - 540BHP New Stock Turbo Record

[LAP3 Performance]

Yeah I would be interested in HFC as well considering I to have to deal with emittions here in CT.

We just added the 200 cell hi-flow cats as an option on our website!

I'm not wanting to push the limits on my motor, but I would like to install primaries. Can you setup a "stock" tune, and just let the primaries make all the gain?

I've lost an engine here and there from tuning, I'm tired of wondering which part will go next

The motor is far from its limit. It seems like you experienced the tuning limitation of other chips/ECU tunes on the market. We have gotten many emails and messages on Facebook from people running competitors' tunes and chips running into limp mode, experiencing misfire & ignition break-ups, and etc especially with the primary cat deletes or primary downpipe upgrades with HFCs. I also see competitors running race fuel and very aggressive(lean) AFR, which is quite dangerous on a long run. The amount of fine tuning we could do with the Pro-Tuner, you can actually take advantage of those modifications, instead of making the vehicle into a ticking time bomb. And no, you'd experience the same issue on a stock tune when you open up the exhaust like that.

I should add that three heavily modified Stingers at 2018 SEMA bought the LAP3 Pro-Tuner to replace their ECU tunes & chips they had for good.

Here are some photos of the Stingers with the LAP3 Pro-Tuner that are at 2018 SEMA.
If you are near by Las Vagas, make sure to check them out!

Perfect, I am interested in buying.

what HFC will you be using?

And will you be posting the pics from the turbo side?

They are Magnaflow 200cell Hi-flow cats.

I apologize for asking over and over again, but I am asking for a picture of the opening from the turbo side like the attached picture. The size and shape of the opening is a vital area for flow and boost control and will be the key area that differentiates one downpipe from the other.

On the HFC's, would it be possible to request HJS or GESI cats? obviously it will be more expensive.

Thanks for the great reply. Do you have any sound clips showing what these sound like, with a stock exhaust system? Debating on these, and your tune or leaving it stock with the mid pipe.

Here's more pictures. We don't carry those cats. It's doable, but you have to ship them to our shop in Korea.

It's like someone grafitti'd the Sistine Chapel.

Thank you for the pics, I think the design is good.

I will check the prices of the cats and details and send you an email.

This was kind of touched on earlier but didn’t see much of an answer.

Where is the dyno chart showing 540hp?

They are extrapolating that number as crank HP, from the results on the dyno chart in the first post on this thread.

Many have asked for more data, so here is another proven result from a customer Nick Porter on Facebook, showing why the Pro-Tuner is the best on the market. The Dragy result is in with the heaviest trim of all GT2 AWD & LAP3 Pro-Tuner on Mode3(93 Octane mapping).
1/4 mile@12.1sec with a few bolt-ons(midpipes+intakes+catback), which we believe to be the fastest GT AWD Dragy time data available for the Stinger platform. This Dragy data also supports the 12.1 sec @ 1/4 mile record done by Turbokits' Stinger AWD w/ Pro-Tuner(Mode3) at the track. The lighter GT trims can definitely shave a few tenths into high 11sec 1/4 mile time with the weight advantage, even quicker with the RWD models with good traction. The customer has yet to try Mode4, which makes much more power. There's a lot of potential left in it.

nice, that would be an easy 11.x if he could get that 60' down to 1.8x

Ok so they are making 485hp and guessing at 540 at the crank.

it's really impossible to tell how much they're actually making. I've seen a car dyno and get +-20hp on the same dyno on different days. If you compare on different dynos, the number can be +-50 hp. The only way to really compare the different tunes is to use the same car, with the same mods, on the same dyno, on the same day, and swap out between the tunes.

 

[LAP3 Performance]

Ok so they are making 485hp and guessing at 540 at the crank.

The baseline shows ~10% drivetrain loss on the dyno. That's the data used to calculate BHP.

PRESSERtech is guessing on the crank HP, just adding theoretical 15% drivetrain loss to advertise "393WHP as MAX 459BHP" on the dynojet, while their baseline #s are about the same as ours. We too could be using the generous 15% drivetrain loss calculation and advertise 570BHP+ instead, but we kept it relevant to what baseline dyno shows vs. Kia's official BHP rating, whether it's underrated from the factory or not.

Can't wait to see some times with RWD Stingers. Any RWD owners purchase one and test it's 1/4 mile time out yet?

Do you have a list of the different modes, what octane is required, and how much boost over stock they each make?

We are waiting to see. A several people just got the pro-tuner installed, and we are already seeing better results than what the platform has been making. The RWD cars will be challenging to launch and nail the 60ft without spinning, but it has more potential than the AWD cars since RWD has 10% less powertrain loss and lighter weight.
