Could you imagine how praised this car would be if it had 4 rings in place of the Kia badge? Such a nice car i've been dreaming since 1 year and im still working for this car
FWIW, I have a 2018 GT-1 I had bought when the car first came out. The JB4 was on it as soon as it became available. Ive had nothing but good luck with it as well if anyone was wondering about long term. Only thing to keep in mind is that it WILL go through spark plugs. Zero issues.
Yes, I agree. It’s great and can’t be beat for performance versus cost. Of course there is other options to get more performance, but it will cost you.
Just got mine myself and ordering my plugs soon and a double jointed socket to make that pesky cylinder 3 swap a little easier. I cant wait! Leaving it on tune 2 with 93 until i can try E with intake and catback 👍 appreciate the honest review.
I always have people ask about it and look at it. Even know it’s been around for 5 years, I feel there isn’t that many of them out there. So when people see it they wonder what it is. Even if I’m driving and see a stinger on the road I always think they look so good, but I’m also bias 😂
Drove to Pennsylvania other day, an old couple stopped in front of my 2019 stinger GT1 and took picture of it and guess what I am super stock 😂. So to answer your question, yes it does! Only hate you will get is from keyboard warriors not from true car enthusiasts! They love it!
@@abulhashem-jc9mv oh I had a guy comment on my previous video. He said “Kia is for poor people” then I hit him with some facts. He was unable to have a conversation, he just wanted to take time out of his day to insult people.
It doesn’t sound like a door latch. It sounds like it’s coming from the bumper area. It’s the weirdest thing. It sounds like rubber or plastic flexing, but only when I turn and give just a touch of throttle at low speeds.
@@canocardonapr I’ll definitely take a look again. I have been under there trying to figure it out now I’m at the point I turn up the music. It will eventually drive me crazy.
@@OVRBoosted I haven't heard anyone else with this issue but I had it and it drove me crazy for a while! Figured out the drivers side exhaust was sitting a bit too high and the bumper was missing some clips and sitting a bit too low. Ended up using zip ties and some heat-shielding fabric to pull the exhaust down away from the exhaust tips in the bumper it was rattling against 🤣 Holding up great so far
I got a stinger, it's 2022 GT2 with the scorpion package, i have been meaning to tune this thing a little bit, and what i want to add so far is the HKS spark plugs, JB4, cold air intakes, inter cooler upgrade (since it can get very hot in during summer) and depending on my research i will probably either delete the muffler or I'll add BORLA exhaust which so far i think it would be a valid choice since i like deep exhaust sounds. And so i was wonder how much more puffed out ponies would add and how much would it cost me approximately! Thank you. And thank you for the vid... Liked and subbed
I hear good things about the EK1. I have been looking into it with cpi. It might be my next upgrade. It’s pretty new, so I’m just waiting to see feed back.
@@OVRBoosted You won’t regret having an EK1. In addition to the BEF, you can also add a TCU tune. Also recommend CPI as well if there is e85 in your area. Make sure to look into the fuel it kit ethanol sensor as well.
@@mikeerickson3046 I do have a lap 3 tcu, but none of the other stuff you listed. I’m trying to decide what my next mod will be. I’m pretty satisfied with the performance right now, but a little more wouldn’t hurt. I have ran an 11.9 quarter.
You’re a real chad for being able to see this car for what it is: a genuinely awesome alternative to the usual choices-BMW, Audi, Mercedes… I’m running JB4 map 2 but I think I might be ready to start experimenting with ethanol…
Have you tried a LAP3 ECU tune? I know you have the TCU tune, I have been looking at getting the ECU/TCU combo from them. Did the TCU tune crisp up the transmission? My shifts have occasionally felt a little sloppy and was hoping the firmer TCU tune would clean that up a little. Do you also have high flow cats/no cats and secondary downpipes and the transmission cooler? LAP 3 recommends all those pieces for the ECU/TCU stage 1.5 and was wondering if they were actually necessary. I already have the K&N typhoon intakes and a borla catback. Not buying the HFC, downpipes, and trans cooler would save me like 2.5k which would be nice lol.
I have not tried the ECU tune. I feel I’m able to run in the 11’s quarter mile and 3’s 0-60mph, so I’m relatively happy with that right now. I feel the jb4 is the safest alternative. I have yet to hear of anyone have engine issues with a jb4. I do not have primary or secondary cats, I just have a cat back borla exhaust. The Lap3 TCU does make the shifts a little crisper, but it’s not a super noticeable difference from the stock tcu. The biggest difference is the launch capability’s and a tad quicker response when manual shifting. It’s honestly hard to justify their price point. I feel there is way cheaper tcu tunes that will accomplish the same results.
P.S yes, a trans cooler is a great investment. The trans is the weak link on the cars drive train. I know many who have added the cooler and are very happy. It will bring longevity to your transmission as long as you’re not launching the car all the time.
@@OVRBoostedyour lap3 tcu tune still performs better with manual shifting? I have Jb4 and bolt ons. Was debating on a tcu tune next, but if paddle shifting gets the job done doesn’t sound like it’s worth it.
@@OVRBoostedHello. It is impossible to remove the primary coils ...... The turbines break down and drive the oil. They need back pressure, which is created by the primary cuttings, since they do not have stubborn podshibnikov.

Yeah, I agree the jb4 offers a lot for the price point. Easy to upgrade and add cpi or meth if a guy wanted or just run some 93. My tcu is okay, I like it for the launch capability and the touch quicker manual response when shifting. However I still think the highly overpriced it.
@@Miguel-xr8yj it could depending on your dealership. I’d advise to remove it when going in for service. Better to be safe then sorry. Some guys have reported they bring it in with the jb4 and their dealer is okay with it. I always take mine off.
@@ВиталийПетров-с4ф yes and no, I have heard also that you won’t really notice much of a difference. But I can’t comment because I haven’t tried them out.
Just got a stinger, wanting to know if i add a jb4, intakes(already done), and and X pipe , would i be pushing atleast 400-415WHP? Just to note, ill only be on map 2 93 octane. no fuel mixes
I’d have to say yes to that, I believe some have put that combo on the dyno and seen around 400 to the wheels. If you as e85 and go to map 3 or 4 you’re definitely over 400. My guess depending on altitude is 430-450hp.
It takes 10 min to completely remove. You can just unplug the obd if you want, but if it’s because you want to remove it for dealership purposes, I’d take it all out.
Just wondering if you’ll be getting the EK1? I recently got WMI (i have pretty much all the other bolt ons plus the JB4) and Terry at BMS suggested the EK1 for its full potential. Would love to see a review on the EK1 if you end up getting it. Im thinking of getting the pro one. Thanks for all your videos, helps me chose some of my upgrades!
You are welcome and thank you most of all for viewing my little channel. I do appreciate it. Right now I am just watching how people are making out with the ek1 right now. It’s pretty new, but so far it looks to be impressive. It’s definitely on my mind for sure.

Quick question. What power increase can you expect on map 2 would it be around 4.2 to 60 on map 2? Also what else needs to be done to the car to go to map 3 or map 4 or can you run map 3 or 4 with just upgraded plugs
Do map 2 on 93 Oct I’d say at least a solid 50+ hp. Map 3-4 all you need to do is mix in some e85. I’d suggest around 5 gallons of e85 and the rest 91-93 octane. Upgraded plugs is really the only critical thing. An oil catch can is just for preventative maintenance and cold air intakes sound good and might increase the airflow a touch an exhaust would help slightly as well. I think low 4 second 0-60 is realistic on map 2, however the 0-60 time really boils down to your launch.
@@OVRBoosted Awesome thank you! One last question for you. I hear a lot about people sending in logs to burgermotor sports do you recommended sending in the information to them so they can review? By me sending in log info what does that accomplish? to make sure the psi and everything is good?
