Tork Motorsports Intakes Now Available!!

[Sales@Tork]

Is the turnaround time really 3 weeks?

I put that on all the parts we make. It is there in
case we run out of materials and have issues getting more or something. We have material in stock to make more right now.

 

[Sales@Tork]

if you want to see a rough idea of what they look like.

That you!

 

[Never thought]

Do you guys have a dyno chart to show the gains from the intake?

I noticed on your website that the K+N filter is a $22 upgrade. Do you think there is any advantage in choosing the upgrade, and have you done dyno pulls both ways?
Thanks

Tork Motorsports you guys need to get all your products posted in the Kia Stinger Store section. They have a space title Tork Motorsports in there for you just nothing added in there for you guys yet its blank.

 

[Sales@Tork]

We have not done any dyno comparisons yet. I simply put them up because some people may prefer a bigger name brand like K&N over Treadstone.

Thank you! I had no Idea!!!

Hi Tork Motorsports can you please post pictures and a video of that intake installed and how it sound that would be awesome if you could, a video of the actual intake and there is no tune needed right you will not get a check engine light. there is a couple videos on the kn intake and it sounds great i wonder how this one look and sounds. i want to buy please post a video....

Correct me if I am wrong:
Pros
- added sound
- less restrictive than the OEM fresh-air duct thus increased power.

Cons ( and thats what I would like to know more about )
- Sucking hot air from the engine bay.
Stopping at a traffic light after some ‘spirited’ driving the filters take in mainly very hot air from inside the engine bay.
In OEM setup, because of a closed circuit, airbox connected to the outside air through the channel made from front fender, the intakes still take in cool air.
The K&N Typhoon kit had its own ‘heat shield’ Still not airtight.

So pulling away when the light goes green, isn’t an open filter a disadvantage cos of the excessively hot air or is that minimal because of the intercooler doing its job?

I was looking for the same thing and came across this video on their youtube channel. Intakes start at 1:38

It's been discussed ad nauseam.

Sales@Tork, just a question on intake mounting and filter direction. I see the filters are pointed toward the engine, but was curious if its possible to point them toward the front instead so they're aware from turbo heat and next to the OEM air inlet?

Partially correct. If you have no isolation from the turbo heat then yes at stop or in traffic you'll be sucking some hot air from the engine. However the engine bay is designed to draw hot air out the back and cool air in the front where the filters are located. So with a little heat isolation like I added to mine,

any effect from hot air is basically eliminated. This setup takes advantage of the cool air front the OEM air inlet, and blocks almost all the heat from the turbo/engine. I can feel a drastic difference in the air temp from each side of the insulation, and was well worth the $20 to prevent heat soaking. Even though my insulated DIY intake and the K&N Typhoon arent airtight they both eliminate almost all heat from getting into the intakes.

I'm not saying these are perfect, but I dont notice any hesitation from a stop light unless I'm stuck sitting in bumper to bumper traffic when extra power isnt needed.
Hope this helps and Happy Motoring!

I'm doing the quick and dirty install after work today. I can post some pics also to update to the googles of the world. Not sure why there is so much discussion on 'hot air' from the engine bay. Intakes are a minimal gain mod that costs next to nothing...however, in my experience, short ram intakes on FI cars are the way to go anyways.

 

[Ucinn]

Minimal gain but can also be a loss if your engine is sucking in hot air.

 

[DiabloStinger]

Its just not proven. ambient air temps and heat soak exist in every single intake scenario. might as well just put in what looks nice and focus power convos on exhaust/downpipes and tuning.

 

[robz32]

It has been proven. That's why all car manufacturers have the engine air intake and filters enclosed with a tube attached to the box that directs air flow from outside the engine bay. It is not only to comply with regulation standards.
Also another reason why all high performance cars and endurance vehicles have air intake tunnels and tubes away from the engine compartment.

 

[soulevo8]

All manufacturers use a sealed intake box because of noise and water ingestion concerns. It is not for performance.

I dont think anyone will deny that hot air produces less power than cold air. However, I highly doubt there would be any loss in performance. The dyno proven gains from these intakes range from a conservative 4HP to a more common 9-19HP. The much larger amount of airflow and quicker throttle response would easily offset any negative from heat. Also if there are any heat effects it would only be a small factor when stopped and sitting for a while. Otherwise any heat is drawn away from the engine/intake and replaced will cool air as soon as the car moves. Worst case scenario your 4-19HP gains are slightly decreased for the first moment coming from a full stop, but then you'd have the full gains for the rest of the run.

Again, I'm not saying theses intakes are perfect or exactly equal to a true in-fender CAI, but they're very close and even better with heat isolation like I posted above.

Tork MS, myself and many others are enjoying increased power from these style intakes regardless if some people are not willing to accept these facts. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and to each their own, but its disappointing when people spread negativity in these threads without facts or personal experience with our Stingers to back it up. Just my $.02 and Happy Motoring team Stinger!

 

[Kamauxx]

Man you have made a habit of saying people are spreading negativity whenever they post something that isn't inline with your beliefs.

He made two simple points (which you've essentially agreed with);

1. The gains are modest. Non-biased (people with no dogin the fight) testing has shown these are likely to produce less than 4 whp over stock in unrealistically optimal conditions.
2. That if the engine is sucking in hot the car's performance will suffer. This isn't even debatable.

Look, we get it, you have a vested interest in these types of intakes being better than others. You've made that clear. But you really should accept everyone else's experience and research just as you want everyone to accept yours, instead of simply dismissing everyone as "spreading negativity" or "having no personal experience". C'mon dude!
