    RaceChip GTS Black Initial Review

    I just read that Race chip has started development on a tuning solution for the 2.0l as well!!! :)

    Kia Stinger Byte Tronik Piggy-back Tune

    Hi there, Concept-3! Have you guys had a chance to test the BT-1 on a Stinger strapped to a dyno yet? :)

    How much horsepower will make you happy with the Kia Stinger?

    300/300 from my 2.0 would be nice, assuming the same (or better)low rpm onset of torque--that flat torque curve really gives the Stinger the midrange punch it's starting to be known for.

    Kia Stinger LAP3 Review for 2.0

    How's the car running so far? (fingers crossed, as I have a 2.0 as well, and am rat-holing money away in the hopes it performs as advertised!) With the posts regarding chip-related and/or OE plug issues, I'd love to see an update :)

    Kia Stinger LAP3 Review for 2.0

    Marty17, have you taken it red line yet? I assume you're using the 93 octane selection? If so and you're also using 93 octane fuel, are you listening for any high rpm/torque-load knock? 52whp extra is great, but Western WA only gets 92 octane. Am thinking I'd go with the 91 tune and run 93 to be...

    Delicious Tuning - Kia Stinger Tuning and Dyno Charts

    Welcome to the forum--lots of great info and helpful members on these boards! Not sure on the 2.0, but I believe the 3.3 has forged internals. For sure the tranny can take it--it's the same tranny behind the K900 and Genesis full-size cars.

    Kia Stinger Byte Tronik Piggy-back Tune

    I'd love to know what sort of gains you are expecting from the 2.0 at 91 octane. The 2.0 is fun, but would LOVE a bit more oomph. :)

    Kia Stinger LAP3 Review for 2.0

    Great review, and thanks so much for sharing your experience with all of us--it is definitely appreciated! I was curious as to whether it also came with specs on 91 and 89 octane tunes (assuming the 2.0 chip offers this) and what octane you are running in your Stinger currently? Thanks, and...

    What is everyone getting for MPG based on how they drive?

    My Stinger came off the truck with just 12 miles on the odometer. Given the break-in procedure I'll be mostly in sport mode between 2-4k on the tach for the first few tanks. We'll see after that :)

    Kia Stinger Owner's Manuals

    I guess base RWD doesn't have an option for engine sound :( all I get is engine/transmission and steering feel options. Grr.

    Interior engine sounds

    Hi folks! I just took delivery of a base model Stinger. VERY happy with our choice so far! My question regards the additional engine noise pumped into the cabin. Is this just reserved for V6 models, or do 2.0 base models receive this feature gratis? I cannot find a way to confirm one way or...
