PRESSERtech Kia Stinger GT Dyno RESULTS!!

[Socalstinga]

Was your ECU flash done by Pressertech?

No. Mine is from a different tuner.

I picked this off Motortrend site on the Stinger GT RWD , as mine is AWD there may be a little 0-60 time difference lol

Ok thanks

Most important thing is that Pressertech's customers are happy. I just don't understand why y'all are happy.

This kind of reminds me of Fusion Firearms in the 1911 world. They had insanely long lead times for builds, missed all of their target deadlines, had terrible customer service, and sub-par firearms for the "custom" world. However, when/if customers finally got their 1911 they were hard pressed to find a negative thing to say about the company. I mean these customers had reliability issues, accuracy issues, follow on customer service issues, etc and they would defend the company and product to the end.

I believed then as I believe now, when some people pay a a lot for a product or service they are more inclined to find any positive they can and less inclined to speak negatively of the product. Speaking positively of it validates the time and money they've put into it. Speaking negatively makes it seem like they made a poor decision.

Long-winded, I know. I guess what I'm saying is I don't see the logic behind spending so much money for a ecu tune that doesn't make the car faster than stock.

Everyone that posts about this tune brags about how smooth it is yet almost no one brags about how fast it is. Is the Stinger so un"smooth" from the factory that you went through all the trouble and spent all the cash you did just to "smoothen" it out? I kinda feel bad for you man.


Let those red Xs fly, boys. Hopefully they're accompanied by drag slips and legit dyno runs.

Because you're the only one (that I've seen) actually trying to verify the tune's performance with 0-60, 1/4 mile, and dyno results.

I somewhat agree. My stinger came with the pressertech stage 2 tune. So I guess I am less biased haha. I wish I could do a Dyno and a track run. However the car can't drive in its current state. I accept all donations to get it up and running. Non refundable of course. Dyno runs and dragy are not free also .
I will for sure get a real Dyno run in once the project is finished. In the right gear. I promise. Will see if it makes the promised 400hp.

The Canadian gt2 2019 cars are slower...LC is absolutely brutal lazy and boost seems to peak around 11 psi. I’m not saying it’s fact, I’m saying my car runs on 91 and pulls 5.1-5.2 pretty consistently...it’s horribly soft off the line and the gauge barely gets over the half way mark stock. My bet is he’s gotten decently faster. My 2019 awd gt2 w/jb4 map 2 is likely running like 2018 stock rwd cars in the 4.7-4.8range. I expect with a bms intake/boostane/map 3 I’ll see mid 4’s at best.

Heh did they detune the 2019? Not the first time some one said that. Strange
Edit: is this only the gt2 or all trims? Rwd or AWD? The base 2018 GT should be worse than base 19 gt since it lacks an LSD.

That would make more sense if the Stinger GT s here in Canada perhaps are running lower boost than our friends in the US and with our crappy gas add up to slower Stinger up here

I think the detune, imo, comes as the car becomes more reliable, safer long term. Remember, the gt2 awd is the same $$ Canadian as USA and seeing the Exchange rate you wonder if maybe, maybe, the reduced profits in the Canadian market pushed them to make the car more conservative to ensure less drivetrain claims? Maybe or as others have said the performance is dialed back knowing fuel ratings would be lower so maybe less boost is safer with lesser fuel??

The only way to get better results is get it dialed in , with a professional Dyno tune , then the real story come out, as I have as many mods as I could done for this car and Pressertech tuned it for those mods and 91 octane tune revision/)

Who knowS maybe a JB4 would go well with this tune

Arnie, I appreciate you taking the time and effort to show your results with the PRESSERTech tune. Also, I'm glad you're happy with it!

As for me, I don't think it's the tune that I want anymore.

Now that i got the (over spooling figgard out , and this Covid-19 gets over , I can think of perhaps a different tune revision/) just a thought as I was thinking my tune would be faster than my RC chip but I was wrong but that being said Pressertech had good customer service

Well today I thought I would sneak , and do a launch, with 343 Kms / approximately 3/4 of gas in the tank left in the tank to work on, and back off after 1/8 mile run, this my real results for Pressertech tune on latest run

This is what I have so far with so much gas left into the tank , for a time using just the LC

Looks like I had a better day on LC managed to get a 4.59 this morning, now with only 3/4 tank of fuel if I get chance , I will leave it run down 1/8 of a tank , and then see how close to my strongest RC map which I hit a 4.53 0-60 with our lazy LC

I did change from Chevron to the Shell 91V Power and took the Octane up to 93+ and put my RaceChip back on with their strongest map once again ! Did a Launch with no fails , which is the first time ever both the Pressertech tune and now with Race chip added , happy to report no failure s

That sounds like a recipe for disaster.

By the feel of it , I would think the chip control s the Boost and the great thing I can run just with the 91 ECU tune or put the chip back in and run 93 to 98 ECU tune
