3.3 Stinger power development

[Stingin' Away]

Atta Boy [MENTION=217]Jonnytig[/MENTION]. 12.3 is impressive. Keep it up

 

[KiaFan]

[MENTION=217]Jonnytig[/MENTION] you need to be the first to achieve 11's in the Kia Stinger.

 

[StingerMike]

Great job [MENTION=217]Jonnytig[/MENTION], this thing is going to be a beast once all the tuning bugs are addressed.

 

[STINGER]

Awesome news. Can't wait for the tune.

Hey guys. So sorry for the late reply. Been crazy busy with work. So the cooler fitted up great. It will be our stage 1 entry level kit. Car made 293rwkw but started breaking down. Thought it may be due to plug gap so we dropped plugs to .7mm for the drags. Btw when we had the inlet manifold off to change plugs.......just wow. The inlet ports were amazing. Like something from a motorbike engine. Very nice

So we did a couple of passes down the strip and still had some missfire issues. So first pass we took pretty easy and backed off at the 1000ft mark. It went 12.5 at 100mph with a 2sec 60ft. Did one more run with it missing thru 3rd n 4th and went 12.3@114mph with a 1.98 60ft. I believed the miss could be due to the position of the tmap we placed on the new cooler pipe. But after some discussion with another company today who rang me i believe it may be a different problem. They have developed a full exhaust n down pipes with 100cell cats and are experiencing the same misding problem. I think we may gave reached the limit if the factory tune in the ecu. What i think is happening is it is maxing out the torque table and limiting engine power. The miss sounds like the torque reduction used on gear changes by many manufacturers. Will hopefully have some info on it soon. We are having a play with some software later this week that may be able to efit the factory tune. We will see anyway. Still not too bad making close to 300rwkw and running a very lazy 12.3. I think it has a high 11 pass in it when Im not scared to fully open it up. Just didnt want to go full noise until we sort this missfire. Will keep ypu all updated with progress

Nice work on the Intercooler. Very professional. I'm thinking something in the tune needs to be changed too. For instance if they electronically limit the speed limit to 167 MPH they must also lock other things to protect the engine and gearbox.

[MENTION=217]Jonnytig[/MENTION] Are you using Air Oil seperator or a catch can?

And if so which do you use?

Thanks

 

[Jonnytig]

Hoping to run an 11 next meet Thing is gonna pull like a freight train once torque reduction is tuned out. Hauls arse now lol. Not running a catch can just yet but we will be designing one next week

 

[BDR Racing Development]

Do you think there would be a market for aftermarket heads? We can develop a few ports for these, have em digitized, and cnc'd but it wouldnt really be worth it if there werent many sets ordered.

Are you now running on a new tune?

 

[ATXStinger]

[MENTION=217]Jonnytig[/MENTION] any updates on the production intake?

Out of curiousity, why did you choose the chrome route? I know metal absorbs and keeps more heat which can lead to heat soak, just wondering if you had a reason behind it.

Thanks

 

[MurlinatoR]

He said that he went with the Chrome to reflect more hear from the engine compartment.

Not yet. But hoping to have it cracked before meet in January. Cars pulling really hard atm. Might put it back on dyno to see if its relearned.

Aftermarket heads? Possibly, the inlet ports are beautifully designed stock. Be nice to see what we could do with sone cnc ported units

 

[KingLamoni]

Hey everyone, sorry for the lack of updates. Been flat out with work. Anyway we spent the day desiging and building our Stinger cai. Really happy with how it has come out.

The factory ducting isnt the best as the intake sits under the big black plastic garnish over rad support with only about 1/4" of clearance to breath through. We removed the factory ductinf and built our own to sit behind the grille and feed lots of cold air to the filters. We have chosen to run a 4" inlet filter leading to 3" pipework to the turbos.

The Stinger feels much stronger and more responsive with a nice whistle from the twin snails. Hoping to get it onto the dyno in the next day or so.



Will keep you all updated. Here are some pics

Kindest regards Jon

Hi Jonny, [MENTION=217]Jonnytig[/MENTION]

Are you going to be selling (to the public) the CAI and the fabricated pieces funnelling in the air eventually? How easy are the cones to take off to clean?

 

[KingLamoni]

I like the Borla Carbon Fiber tips on the SEMA car.

I like the Borla Carbon Fiber tips on the SEMA car.

Me too, it really sets it apart from other exhaust systems.

 

[StingerMike]

[MENTION=217]Jonnytig[/MENTION] any updates on how the tuning went?

 

[STINGER]

This thread needs updates

 

[DigDug]

He's probably having too much fun with the Stinger lol.

 

[StingerMike]

Really nice [MENTION=217]Jonnytig[/MENTION]
