    Catch Can Thread

    Thanks for that info, however I respectfully disagree about "not what it's for". I get everything else you say, and agree, however a more significant source of crankcase pressure than blow-by is boost leaking back through your PCV valve back into the crankcase, where it has nowhere else to go...

    Catch Can Thread

    After having the Tork cans installed for about 8000km, I found zero fluid in the front one, despite having pulled 6 or so ounces total out of the rear one. I have the drain valves on them and use my Blackstone labs oil sample vacuum pump to pull fluid out in place. My observation is that if you...

    *****2019 US Kia Stinger*****

    Interesting... because Canadian 2018 Stingers come with UVO Intelligence remote start, locking, etc. American cars don't have this?

    What Did You Do With Your Stinger Today?

    Had my Eibach rear sway bar installed yesterday. Driven only minimally since but it feels notably stiffened up in the rear. Took the front Tork motorsports catch can off, since it had not one drop of liquid in it after 7000 km. I've emptied a total of 8 ounces or so out of the rear one with a...

    Kia Stinger front and side vents air flow

    Funny you should ask. Just today I inspected it out of curiosity. It looks exactly the same as the day I put it in. It hasn't moved or shown any other damage!

    *****2019 US Kia Stinger*****

    I'm not sure of the details, but I know that this is not unique to the Stinger, but rather is the case for virtually all Hyundai and Kia vehicles. It explains why they have substantially more market share outside of the US. I also own a Santa Fe Sport 2.0T Ultimate. Hyundai's and KIAs are...

    *****2019 US Kia Stinger*****

    My understanding is that it has to do with trade policy with South Korea. Lower tariffs for South Korean automobiles imported into Canada vs into US.

    Adding Stinger Emblem to the dash. What do you think?

    OP - That's a quick way to ensure your passenger dies from shrapnel wounds if the airbag deployed in a collision... Not good.

    What Did You Do With Your Stinger Today?

    In the event of an airbag deployment, an occupant of the passenger seat will find out what it means to have a stinger stuck in thier brain. Generally, attaching shrapnel to your dash over the airbag is unwise [emoji6] Today I installed the Tork Motorsports air intakes. Much simpler, easier to...

    "Grasp the Steering Wheel" and Other LCD Warning Messages

    No self configurable option, no. Maybe the dealer can with tthier special equipment. However, I've found that the active mode actually has fewer false positives because it more often gets resistance from me holding the wheel. I find the standard mode to be rather useless anyway. I usually have...

    K&N CAI Defect

    I removed my KN typhoon 3.3T CAI today. The left-hand side heat shield is chaffing the air conditioning coolant line. I highly recommend that if you have one of these you take a look. See the photo for details. I'll call KN and complain, as this is a serious design flaw, not to mention the poor...

    Shifting into Manual Mode

    You may like the Genesis G70 better. A bit smaller, firmer... Same powertrains, though, however you can get a RWD manual transmission 2.0T version with a LSD and sport exhaust. Lighter weight car too. If you want a manual trans car, just do yourself a favor and buy one while you still can. If...

    What Did You Do With Your Stinger Today?

    Tomorrow I will be getting a new windshield installed. Took a rock off a truck on the highway and at first it was just a chip, but by the time I got to the glass shop the next day, it cracked right across the camera field of view and two other directions. It took a week to get an OEM windshield...

    Kia Stinger front and side vents air flow

    No, but it'll probably work [emoji846]. I meant something like this: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01L8GHB7O/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_n5g-AbPXMRJ4T

    Shifting into Manual Mode

    My build date is 11/17, by the way. On the semi off topic of updates, it's striking to me how much updating of things they do over the air through the built in cellular data connection. So far, I've noticed an update to the iPod control logic for how random shuffle is handled between ignition...

    Kia Stinger front and side vents air flow

    Yup, exactly. Super easy. Posted about it here: https://www.kiastinger.org/forum/showthread.php?p=17879 Essentially, you just remove the pop clips, bpull back the liner a bit, insert a piece of screen with holes cut for the clips, shove the liner back, reinstall clips, done. Takes maybe 5 min...
