    What octane gas do you use?

    **Update Received and installed the JB4 for 2.5L. ~E20 (no higher) using JB4 MAP 3 on 2022 GT-line. ~5 psi over stock. Runs really well... no codes... smooth. Simple installation, no fuel wires needed (doesn't do anything according to Burgertuning).

    JB4 for 2022 Stinger Gt-line 2.5L & Stock Draggy Results 0 - 60, 5 - 60 roll

    Could be :) Ordered a JB4 for this car... going to run Map 4 E20 and see how much quickness is gained :P on the G80 2.5L Graph (burger site) it was ~ 70 WHP increase... (254ish to 322ish).

    Best time so far was 5.66! Seems you can't do an EBRake launch with the 2022... I was able with my previous stingers... but not the 2022.. it won't build boost.. just falls flat after releasing EBRake or hangs :/

    What octane gas do you use?

    I never used 91 Octane in SoCal alone... I always run E20 - E25 and never had any problems for the past 4 years (BMW, Honda, Kia...). E85 mix is the way to go... the car definitely gets better times and no tune necessary. Gives you an equivalent octane of ~93. I don't want to get into the...

    JB4 for 2022 Stinger Gt-line 2.5L & Stock Draggy Results 0 - 60, 5 - 60 roll

    Hello Turbotax! Yeah this thing blows away my 2019 2.0L that I used to have. That was with a totally full tank of gas (~15.0 - 15.9 Gallons). I'll time again when there's about 2 or 3 gallons and cooler temps out (evening) using the eBrake. I did the eBrake before on my 2020 GT AWD and it took...

    JB4 for 2022 Stinger Gt-line 2.5L & Stock Draggy Results 0 - 60, 5 - 60 roll

    Here's the valid Draggy on nearly a level road. This car is so much more of an improvement over the 2.0 Model... exterior, interior, technology, engine... wow! I had a 2019 Premium, 2020 GT and this 2022 GT Line AWD is the best overall. I didn't go for the GT this time since the 4 cyl. @ 300 HP...

    JB4 for 2022 Stinger Gt-line 2.5L & Stock Draggy Results 0 - 60, 5 - 60 roll

    Hello folks! Just wondering if anyone with a 2022 Stinger Gt-line did the JB4 thing to their car? Also what other options are there for the 2.5L (hyundai motor) other than JB4 to boost performance. I timed my car on the Draggy: 2022 Stinger GT-line AWD Sport Mode with Traction Stability all...

    Kia Stinger Out The Door Price Thread

    No discounts whatsoever and the managers are very stern about it. I waited and waited but then all the cars were sold rather quickly and if I wanted an AWD 4 cyl. Stinger GT-line loaded now... I had now choice. :/ We travel a lot in the snow.

    Braking distance from 164 ft. to 154 ft.

    Hello! What would it take to get another 10 ft. shaved off my 70 - 0mph braking distance ? stock AWD is ~ 164 ft. according to C&D... I track the car against some cars like Civic Type R which has a braking distance of ~ 142 - 146 ft 70 - 0 ... Don't want to replace tire & rims (less weight)...

    White line sway bars

    I can't lower the car because of the roads here I have to go on for daily driving... it'll scrub ... I'm almost scrubbing now so springs is outta the question. I might go with the White line kit which includes the links... that should suffice to get the lateral g's up more... R compound wider...

    White line sway bars

    yeah when you're going into twisty roads sometimes @ 100+ mph ... pushing the car to the limit... I'm counter steering to straighten out the oversteer... almost drifting :) LOL but the car feels like a cartoon car in which the wheels are on rubber axles and stretching in the back and the body is...

    White line sway bars

    When I"m pushing into the corners or having fun taking the off-ramp at a high speed, I'm experiencing some oversteer and floaty felling ... would this correct that? Also, does this work with AWD Stinger GT? I'd like to get my lateral g's from stock 0.9 to at least 0.96 - 1.0 area... would this...

    Stinger GT AWD JB4 Map 2 vs Honda Accord 2.0T 10A Ktuned Stage 2

    I had another White Accord trolling me as usual... but this time I was running Map 2. I could walk the car when stock... but slowly before. With this Map 2 it was night & day. I was pedaling the car and it still lunged forward ... gave him time to catch up and pedaled it again... from the dig...

    JB4 Map 2 91 Octane 0 - 60

    3.7 - 3.8 ... I seen someone using Map 3 E30 tune claiming 3.7s... I'll find out because we have a station here with E85 down the road. The AWD helps with the launch that's fore sure and no spinning in 2nd gear like some folks were getting. Sport mode = 80/20 Torque Split which relieves some...

    Intake Thread

    The snails will spool faster because there is less restriction... as for adding more horsepower... well air temps obviously but leaving that out of the equation... the turbo governed by the ECU is set to a Max PSI... it'll just get to that point faster and if you're tuned... e.g., the tune is...

    JB4 Map 2 91 Octane 0 - 60

    Hello! Well I gapped my stock NKG plugs to 0.024 and proceeded to try out Map 2! AWD 2020 Stinger on the first try 4.15 secs! Level road and temps in the mid 70's. The car runs real smooth. I was running Map 1 for about a week, and the plugs were all fine (like new) when I was setting them to...
