Hello together, I know, the topic always provides a good ignition substance among car fans, but I open it anyway: It is about the air supply or the filter in my case the 2.0l T-GDI. But for all 3.3l drivers it is certainly not very different, except that there are 2 of them. When opening the air filter box it is noticeable that there is a plug-in module on the right with a flap, which apparently opens with the help of a magnet from a certain underpressure and thus more air I just removed this module and tested it. The difference of the intake noise – both in the stand and under load was already noticeable. The whole thing has become even stronger after I – now it’s becoming tricky – installed a K&N replacement filter. The hissing of the turbo and the general engine noise have already increased significantly in my opinion. Well, with the leisetreter probably not difficult either. Do you have with the “fold” in the Filt Is it worrying to always have the air supply through this conversion, which seems to be more intended for larger load operations? I am looking forward to your experiences. Best regards Chris

Dear community, I just had (for the second time) a strange bug, in which I can’t assign whether it’s the gearbox or the traction control itself. SITUATION: Car warm, mode sport, ESP/ASR on, in the middle of the AB, accelerates to exactly 211 km/h and suddenly the lamp for traction control goes on. Car remains at exactly 211 km/h and it feels like it is slowed down, as if by the limiter. As if it could not continue to power up in the 8th Da “D” I couldn’t see which gear I was in. Then – braked down to 120, switched manually over the rocker and back again to “D”. After that I went up to 235 km/h without any problems. Had I already had, after I switched a lot of hands/fingers before and then switched to “D” and high speed (from 200km/h). Did one of you already have that? Doesn’t feel threatening but also not horny at 200+. Thanks already for your answers. LG Chris

Good morning, yesterday for Sunday I am on the motorway from one exit to the next. Because the train was free, I was able to test how far the Stinger was ready to speed up. At first a slight climb went up, after that the motorway fell off slightly (A4 between Siebenlehn and Berbersdorf in the direction of Chemnitz). The Stinger accelerated first without murmuring until about 265. Then the slight slope came and he moved on until 274. Here it seemed to me that the Stinger The speedometer stopped and the speed went back. There was no more propulsion. I then went off the gas very easily and the speed fell abruptly to approx. 235. I then went down at the next descent and still about 5-6 minutes on the country road to the finish. After turning off the fan then ran with enormous noise and turned for about 10 minutes at high speed. What are your experiences with the Vmax? K someone has been driving for more than a few seconds with beyond 270 km/h? Did you also have the feeling that you will be electronically slowed down at about 274? Perhaps the Stinger gets thermal problems at this speed and then throttles the performance. At 13 degrees yesterday it could not have been due to the temperatures. I noticed this behavior once a few months ago, there was also at 274 end and he obviously has power away n. At lower speeds up to 250 km/h I have not yet noticed something like this. Only the fan has then also spoken after the end of the journey.

This morning had “significant” jerking and it came to a brittle situation because I didn’t get off the spot fast enough. Another vehicle had to brake heavily to avoid driving into me. I have to honestly say that it’s enough for me now with the crap. That’s why I would like to collect some information here to pass it on to my dealer if necessary. One topic is certainly the fuel pump, which was not the solution in all the cases I know. In America give T there is also a TSB for tugging: SERVICE ACTION: THETA 2.0L TURBO ATF WARMER CONNECTOR REPLACEMENT (SA333) The problem should be to recreate this tugging as it is not every morning. Sometimes it runs like lubricated in the morning and today the coronation. I have already thought of a marten, but can’t find anything. Maybe there are still suggestions here and ideally even solutions.

Hello, wanted to know what the 3.3l V6 has in performance reserves. Then I found it here on YouTube.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv2LY3E8dfshttps://www.benzoner-chiptuning.de/benzoner-tuning/kia.html Not bad 😛 Greeting Slowy

Hello together, since the topic in the original “Tuning parts for the 3.3” will probably be a little longer, the original should be the clues and here the discussion, experiences take place. One then has it a little easier when looking later. Just as a suggestion:

Moin, Moin, now that I have ordered the 3.3er (coming at the end of October) I think about what options there are for the Sahen exhaust system. I did not have the Bastuck flap system for the first time, because I want to get a picture of the existing sound of the 2019 model. If this is not satisfactory however the question follows – what can you do!? Should the Bastuck then be there or are there alternatives, which are cheaper or perhaps more for the price of Bastuck Does anyone have any experience?

Hi Stinger driver, since I did not find a dedicated topic here, I thought I opened one. We all drive one of the most beautiful cars and we read out here, some have individualized their Stinger. I think that you should at least be allowed to share it here in the forum. Therefore I would like to start right here my Stinger MJ 2021, after the Eibach Pro kit has been installed for about 500km and the work on the emblems has been finished. Your contributions to this topic. Greetings Vlaves

Hello together, help, I have a problem 😉 Can someone give me a tip on how to get the front emblem (new Kia lettering metal) and the rear emblems on the new Kia Stinger harmless and safe? I am grateful for every tip. Thank you Andrea from Leverkusen

Hello together, short question in the forum : Was there the Kia Stinger as a pre-facelift, i.e. without OPF until 08/2018, even with the Velours/Alcantara leather interior with the red decorative seams or only with smooth leather leather replica/ nappa leather? Or was there the velours only later? Thanks for your help.
