    Catch Can Thread

    The electrical plug, just pull straight up on it. It slides off the bracket, you don't have to pull very hard, it just slides off.

    Intake Thread

    oh ok, I take it they're still in the development stage, It's a great design for a cold intake if there was a way to keep the rain off them and if they were easy to take off to clean.

    Catch Can Thread

    I don't think we have to worry about moisture to much here in Arizona, I haven't put a check valve on mine yet. I don't have a heavy foot so I don't worry about it that much. When you put a tune on the car to run more boost then I wood run a check valve and a second catch can. The bigger of the...

    Catch Can Thread

    I used the same type of hose that came with the kit just a smaller size. I called David at K8 stinger store an talk to him about the ADD W1 V3 baffled catch can and he told me hes's had no one call up or email him to tell him the hoses don't fit. We had a long conversation about the ADD W1 an...

    Catch Can Thread

    The nipple coming out of the crank case takes a 5/16 "inside" diameter hose, so the inlet hose that came in the kit is 3/8 inside diameter, so I had to buy a reducer to merry the two together. It wasn't that big of a deal , I'm just anal about my car on how it runs an performs. hope this helps you.

    Intake Thread

    The only problem with this intake is if you get caught in a rain storm those filters are going to get soaked or better yet a dust storm and to take them off to clean them is a pain. https://www.ssr-performance.com/prod...-3-3tt~yr_2018

    Which aftermarket intake brand are you running in your Stinger?

    I totally agree with the chassis bushings, I had these installed on my 2015 Optima SX. Its one of the best mods anyone can do to their car, makes the car straight an true and handle, steer and respond nicely. Did you get those Ultra racing chassis braces from their website? your setup looks good!!

    Catch Can Thread

    I'm writing this review on the ADD W1 V3 Baffled Oil Catch Can. These things are easy to install but, the hoses that come with the kit are to big. The hose that goes from the crank case to the catch can needs to be two size smaller and the hose that goes from the catch can to manifold needs to...

    How many people warm up their Stinger before driving?

    FYI for all the stinger owners out there. You should always let a turbo car warm up because the oil in your engine is cold an thick, so your engine has to pump it through a oil feed line to the turbo and if you have a heavy foot the oil has a hard time getting their. A good analogy would be try...

    Idle stop start question

    Congrats on your car, One thing I've noticed about engine shut down button is when its on an you come to a stop, if you're not pushing the brake paddle hard enough the amber letter "A" will come on the dash and the engine will not shut off. I don't care for this feature because here in Arizona...

    Official Ceramic Silver & Ghost Grey Kia Stinger Pictures Thread

    Hi SeattleVlad, that is a nice area, I used to race Saint Helens roads on my ZX-7R back in the early to mid 90's. I grew up in the San Juan Islands, missing fresh fish and the Ocean.

    Arizona Roll Call

    Theirs one other mod that has to be done too the car, I did this to my kia optima sx and that is Aluminum subframe bushings. Aluminum subframe bushings will eliminate slop and movement from the factory subframe, while maintaining suspension geometry for improved handling, tire wear and steering...

    Arizona Roll Call

    No, the next add on will be a Injen Intake, Agency blow off valve, Magnaflow catback exhaust and a Ultimate Performance Front Mount Intercooler, and after that I will have Vivid Racing tune it. That's all the performance mods i'm doing. The rest of it will be handling, Ultra Racing makes a set...

    Arizona Roll Call

    The owner was on the rev limiter all the time, and kia found out by plugging in the computer. I had a friend in the ARMY that did the same thing with his HONDA, he thought it was a race car from the factory. He thought wrong. :)

    Arizona Roll Call

    New to the forum, just picked up my 2019 Stinger GT1 ceramic silver two weeks ago. I've watched a lot of videos on these cars and found out that the first two things you need to get, are HKS M45iL Spark Plugs and a OCC oil catch can and a PCV oil catch can. Biggest benefit to running the OCC’s…...
