So I installed the JB4, replaced the plugs and I’ve been running it awhile now. I’ve only recently been able try launch control O-60 runs and the quickest I’ve managed is 4.7. That’s map 2 on 93 octane with octane boost additive. No other engine mods on the car.
 
Post a log if you want tuning help. What was your best 0-60 stock? Traction is key so you may need to limit boost in lower gears.

Set it to map 0 and compare that with your map 2 time. Your stock car probably isn't as fast as stock Kia advertised time.

I'll do you one better, 5.1s 0-60 with map 2 and AWD. Ask me how I feel about it.

I’m not losing traction. It seems slow spooling up. AWD, no wheel spin at all

Not to ask a dumb question but I’m good at it, do I post the preview log or the graph?

I don't think Kia advertised atock AWD Stingers to go 0-60 in 4.7. That's their RWD time (and probably a bare bones no options GT).

Stock RWD is faster than stock AWD.(modded is a different story, of course)

Best way to tell what difference your JB4 made is to compare a map 0 run to a map 2 run.

Seems your car is doing about what it should be with minimal modding.

Double D heres a dragy of map3 93 gas Lil e85..stock.. but back in spring when it was cooler....WashScreenshot_2019-05-27_161434.webp
 
DD what are you trying to accomplish? If you want Terry to look at your 0 to 60 logs...and that's what you are asking about...you have to start from a dead stop and then matt the gas pedal.....geez on the cvs file you posted all your doing is cruising.....push the right pedal to the floor.....like till it wont go any further...and from a dead stop...lol..........:D Wash

your csv file looks like mine when im going down my alley :laugh:

I’ve got so many I didn’t know which was which. I didn’t log the 0-60 run

Octane looks good, you can give map3 a whirl also! Although if traction is holding you back then lower boost in 1st gear to help with that. For 0-60 it's all about traction.

I’m grateful for the feedback, thank you!

So why are the top four fastest AWD, when everybody who claims to know, says that RWD is the faster off the line?

He's AWD. Traction shouldn't be an issue, especially if he has the stock MPS4s.
 
Jb4 Map2, Injen Intake, 93 Octane. No scientific method or anything but just mashing the pedal on the freeway from a stop I get a 4.8- 5.0 0-60 (Without launch control though) It feels like I'm not doing something right. I think I hesitate initially, thinking that a cop is watching me, then I mash the pedal shortly after. Would the 18 inch all seasons affect my time?
