Thanks for keeping the Stinger content coming man! These cars are slept on, hard. For improvement suggestions; I would say definitely put some focus on balancing audio levels. Compressors and limiters can go a long way. Along with even manually adjusting volumes when needed. Just helps the viewer not get blasted with different volume levels. Cheers🤘
Appreciate the feedback man! I just started using DJI mics and I’m trying to figure it out. I had a feeling someone was going to say something after it rendered to RUclips, the intro was so loud lol. I’ve noticed the Dragy app turns the gain up on the mics, prob to hear the engine better I dunno. Ethan was more soft spoken than I, so I should have turned his gain up more. It’s a learning curve, but thanks 🙏
Good vid! I swapped to a 285 tire in the rear. I went with a bit cheaper tire the Ohtsu fp8000. It’s made by Falken and it’s the old Falken fk452. Anyone on a budget should check them out. There is a guy on RUclips that tracked them and the even surprised him. So far I’m pretty happy, I can still do a 4 wheel burn out on the lap 3 tcu launch.
Can’t wait to see what the new record is!!! Getting my setup together to be among the quickest RWD G70’s out there, just uploaded sxth element Stage 3 TCU to see how it goes. Gonna replace my 18inch rear wheels for 17inch wheels. Going WMI + Fbo with JB4 BEF tune + weight reduction 🔥🔥
Nice! I just has a guy down in FL send me a 1 min vid of G70 build, he’s going all out too , E60. It’s all matte with gloss black trim and he power coated the wheels to match, looks insane !
@@twn2rbo now that’s awesome!! Hope i run into him at the track. I wanna see that thing run!! I’m gonna get pure turbos by Christmas and imma start posting more content to get it out there, our platform gonna be in the 9s soon
Let me know if you do, I’ll post it. I’m going to start posting my day 1 subscribers rides up on my channel, they have some of the sickest builds and aren’t on social media
I assume yes, you can pick your shift points and pressure, with Lozic you can so I’m sure Lap3 does the same. The TCU and the ECU communicate with each other so it’s always best to buy the pair, but you can still option your TCU out and use it with the JB4. If you watch my earlier vids, I got a 3.6 with JB4 map 3 e30 and Lozic stage 1 with CAI and CB only
Appreciate it man, I’ll do my best to document the new mods as I meet them. There’s a Lap3 Stinger up in Chicago that is pretty fast, hoping to go over his at the IL Stinger meet. These cars are going to go up in value one day
For quarter mile and drag racing quarter mile racing AWD is best. Also cpi is more convenient than methanol. The best way is to go upgraded fuel pump and no need for cpi or any additional fuel lines.
Well I got me a KIA Stinger. I fell in love with this car a while ago. I have now owned mine for almost….wait for it… 3 weeks. I said I would post the pic at some point… where do I put the pic???
I use my custom mode for launching with the 50/50 drivetrain mode, comfort suspension. I definitely think it hooks much better when launching than regular sport mode.
Interesting! I’ll need to try that with the G70, Ethan got a 3.6 in that mode with that guy in the car so never know. The launch def needs to be practiced, there’s a sweet spot for sure
Also for the lap 3 stinger he’s should get rid of the bms methanol kit and go with the lap 3 methanol kit!! The lap 3 methanol kit spray depending on your rmps which really helps keep the iats down and helps with power!!Keep up the vids looking forward to more stinger/g70 vids👍🔥
I didn’t know that, yeah he should try that then, I’ll let him know. I want to keep having people on that are into 0-60 times and who can get the best. It’s very important when wanting to run the best 1/4 mile time. I want to see people on with soft sticky tires. I’m going to let 10 psi out of tires next time, a company just sent me a portable air inflator to do that so I said I would show their Amazon shop. It’s like $70, nice one. $50 for subscribers so might make a diff! It did with my S4 and that RS5 3.3 sec
Great video! Love to see the red rwd model im the vid, got the same model. Wish there was a way to keep the paint healthier without ppf or ceramic coating. Swear the roof is oxiziding fast and lil chips all over the face. Takes away from an otherwise fantastic car!
Appreciate it! Hahah yeah bro the paint is a downfall on the Stingers unfortunately, I have vids on this when I first started the channel too. Actually, the day I picked my Stingers up with 5 miles on the dash, they “hand washed” my car for when I signed the papers, I got home and I seen swirl marks all over it. I made the GM send a detailer out to fix it, I ended up having to do it myself like the hatch rattle lol
@@blacktwinturbo what are your mods? If just doing the JB4 on e30 I would do .026, that’s what I did the whole time on my channel and it ran perfectly. I did .024 when I put the Lozic tunes on. HKS M45iL are the best imo
I had best luck with the HKS M45iL gapped @ 26 thousandths, Stinger coil packs are notorious as well, his is a 2018 so I’m suspect of the packs starting to give out.
You need better tires…. Get 18 inch wheels and some street radials. Get the widest tire you can fit that match the front diameter, nitto and Mikey Thompson makes some good street radials.
@@prvideos8229 for sure, he will have to if he TCU tunes it and adds WMI if he wants to attempt to launch it. I agree with the less rotating mass and wider wheels for wider tires is optimal, but not my car so. It does have the appearance of being more beefed up when would walk up on it though.
Appreciate that man! Yeah he said he has some more plans for it 👊 I think Adolfo may need to new coil packs or his plug gap is off. It still rips and spins in second though :)
Flash tunes are best if you want most power, pops and bangs, and ISG disabled, those are to main benefits to JB4. But the JB4 is a must like this owner has, you should always monitor your flash tune and record logs, then communicate effectively with the tuner, so they can learn and improve. That’s what I did with Lozic back in the day when he would send me 5 tunes at a time to test. He moved to the US from S Korea to tune and they have got a lot better. I’ll be dropping an improvement time with Tonys car soon as I can
Mine all started with the Injen intakes, once I heard the diverter valves releasing that pressure into the intakes I fell in love, then had to balance the sound out with MBRP 👌
FBO stock turbos, next time we meet, I want to try 50/50 water and meth, not 100% meth. We will test again and try to get a 1/4 run in. I’m almost certain this car is most beastly 40+. He spins off the line. I’m about to upload a short of his launch in cinematic
Secondary I would go with Ark. Primary, I wouldn’t mess with those unless you upgrade your turbos. I’ve had a few people message me their turbos blew after doing the primary downs. Esp if you don’t do the oil line recall on the Stinger. I’m sure some people will say they have done them with no issues, but from the messages I’ve received, I would advise against primary downs unless you are going to do a turbo upgrade, they are not cheap
The Fuel it kit is sold at BMS, who also sells the JB4, but you don’t need the JB4 to run it, however you will need to be tuned when using it with e30 or e40. The Fuel it is a separate app. I wouldn’t trust the JB4’s ethanol content reader without an ethanol sensor.
We will try to get that one in next, I’m sure his 1/4 mile and 40-130 is insane. I just met these locals, so depending on the comments here we will see what they want to see.
What do you think about pops and bangs destroying stingers cats?? i got a 23 gt2 thats heavily modded and i want pops/bangs but dont want to destroy my cats. any feedback helps, thank you bro big fan!!
Appreciate the comment! This is a great question to ask, one must know what pops and bangs are, essentially it’s an explosion after the valve closes and the explosion in in the turbo exhaust manifold, so yes, it does put more wear and tear on them. That is going to depend on how often you go WOT let them pop, it’s the same comparison of you being worried about tuning your car and it blowing your engine, both are equal, that depends on you and how hard you are on the car. I had to go catless in my S4, they would melt, that engine produced way more heat that the 3.3TT Lambda
Hey bro im back with another question. So i have the MBRP exhaust and just got the ark secondary downpipes. Knowing these new downpipes are catless, does that technically mean im entirely catless now or do the primary dpipes have cats as well? Any advice helps i just know eventually i want pops and bangs (but knowing how i drive i think cats may be a problem) lol. Thanks bro! Gonna watch the new video w the g70 after work
@@beezynichols795 that’s a good question. Your primary down pipes still have cats. I recommend you do not upgrade those unless you upgrade your turbos too. I’ve seen people blow their turbo after installing them. Thanks
@@twn2rbo Awesome man thank you. Last question i hope🙏🏼 So ive had the mbrp exhaust for a while now, got my ark dpipes installed today and the drone is just terrible (i believe its drone im still new this is my first ever build) it sounds like a trumpet on sport mode and even at times in comfort when pressing the throttle hard.

Sorry thats a lot just an upsetting down after being excited for the downpipes and now being embarrassed of the cars sound until i get resonators (hopefully) Thanks bro

I’m hoping it’s stuff I don’t normally show, I want TWN2RBO to be a place where people can come for answers and solutions with the Stinger. We just ran into a design flaw with BMS FMIC or any other brand like Mishimoto with the hot charge pipes, $50 fix though I’m working on getting it out!
If they are abused for long periods of time, yes, the cats would go first. It depends on your right foot. The excess heat can damage the turbo fins, in extreme cases. I’ve yet to hear someone report their engine or cats have failed in the 3.3tt. Now the b8.5 S4 I had is a different story, you have to remove the cats or they melt and cause all sort of problems
