I just got a 2018 gt2 with the 3.3tt and it’s awd. I got the car with a blown motor and I’m now in the market for a motor lol. When I was looking I found that the awd motors are a lot harder to find and cost about 2k more. From my understanding the long blocks are the same. So in that case can I just buy a motor that came out of a rwd and put it in my awd without modifications? Thanks in advance!

Hey all,

I have a 2018 Kia stinger imported from Korea and facing big issues to kill switch the nav gps sync in order for my LKA to work. Based on research the best way to fix this is to enter engineering mode and solve it from there.

The problem I cannot for the life of me get into engineering mode. I am attaching my software version and fingers crossed hoping someone can help.

Howdy y'all! Lurker here with my first post.

Had someone back into me and bust up one of my headlights a few weeks ago. I have the replacement assembly but can't find any guides or videos or help in the manual about the process for removing/replacing the whole assembly.

Hoping someone here can point me in the right direction!

Thanks in advace.

I recently installed a carbon ceramic brake rotor setup from Jisu Sports as part of my ongoing effort to build what I consider the ultimate Stinger GTS. I’ve been driving on just the front CCB for the last couple months and just got the rears fitted. For context, I’ve previously run the Fella setup on this car, and before that EBC two-piece front rotors. Both of those setups were solid and performed well, good bite, good heat management, and overall a noticeable upgrade over OEM. That said, this carbon ceramic setup is on a completely different level.

Beyond just the raw stopping power, the biggest improvement is in vehicle dynamics. The reduction in unsprung and rotational mass is immediately apparent. Turn-in is sharper, front-end response is quicker, and the car feels way more composed under hard braking and trail braking. With less rotating mass at each corner, the suspension can do its job more effectively, improving mid-corner stability and overall chassis control. Pedal feel remains so much more consistent even after repeated heavy braking, and brake fade is essentially nonexistent, and confidence in high-speed braking zones is significantly improved. There’s also a subtle but real benefit to acceleration due to reduced rotational inertia, no numbers but you can definitely feel it.

One bonus that matters more than I expected: THEY DON’T RUST. Surface rust on iron rotors has been a long-standing pet peeve of mine across multiple vehicles, and it’s refreshing to have a setup that stays clean and consistent without the usual corrosion issues. So this wasn’t a cosmetic upgrade just it fundamentally changed how the car behaves. The focus of this build has always been balance, control, and repeatable performance, not just horsepower numbers. This setup feels like a major step toward the GTS the platform always deserved.

Happy to answer questions or share more details if anyone’s considering going this route. Here is the link to my supplier, the representative Yilia Liu was super responsive and friendly and helped with every step of the process.

Alignment says everything in the green. Air pressure 30-32lbs. Michelin PS4S 265/35 on factory wheel. The only "suspension" mod I've done is sway bars.

Considering going to 18" squared setup on my awd gt2. Wanting a bit more sidewall rubber as the roads around here can be a little brutal. And recently seeing posts of busted tires on social groups has just reinforced the thought. Let me know what you got and how you like the setup.

Thanks in advance.

Anyone else have oil leaking from this location?

Went to do an oil change today, and notice oil dripping on the steering rack motor. seems to be either coming out of the top of the oil filter housing near the crank and or from where the oil cooler attaches to the filter housing.

Anyone else have this issue?
