Well...both the car and the wife are super hot!!! I'll try and get pics tomorrow. Car is white with saddle leather, Painted wheels black, roof wrapped black, windows tinted black.

Was planning on tune module, dual air filter kit and blowoff valves but I want what is the best and makes power

Not sure what if anything you have available to you. Considering Kia moves literal handfuls of K900s yearly in NA, nobody has any incentive to make bespoke aftermarket parts for it. If it doesn't share parts mechanically with other platforms you are either going custom or leaving it be. You might...MIGHT, be able to bolt on mods that fit to the 3.3TT of the Stinger/G70. Intakes, BOVs, Intercooler may work but I can't say especially without seeing the engie bay layout. G80 Sport parts may be worth a look too but I haven't paid any attention to the aftermarket for that car. Unless the K900 shares a ECU with another car or piggybacks for other 3.3T platforms work tuning is a likely nonstarter as well.

The engine bay is slightly larger than the Stinger. Intakes, BOVs definitely will fit. Intercooler not sure. Same ECU as the stinger. so....now what can I do?

 

[Never thought]

So far the places to go for a tune is Tork Motorsports and Pressertech.

I took a good look inside the K900 today. Very, very nice. It's not the type of car I would get but for those who like truly luxurious cars, it should be on their radar. Thing is, IMO, the vast majority of people who would want an overtly luxurious vehicle like the K900 won't look KIAS way at all.

JB4 should be compatible!

My local dealership has a New 2017 K900 with a V8 and 14mi on it. MSRP 63K, selling for 40K.
For those interested.

I had a 2015 Kia K900 V8 VIP. It was super comfy. However .... This new engine platform has some real potential. Really hoping for complete tuning/ turbo upgrades. Keep the comments coming!!! thanks again.

If I had that car I would just do k&n panel filters plugs and jb4. If you put intakes and bov on such a nice quiet car would be a mistake to me. You can get another 100hp or so with just the jb4 and be just as smooth and quiet.

K900 IS A luxury car and with the V8 option has 420 HP and goes from 0-60 in, I believe, under 5 seconds. Seems extremely fast for a luxury car.

The new one comes with the stinger motor.

so they scrapped the V8 for 2019? Sorry, I misread. Thanks

I would start with a JB4 piggyback tune until turbo upgrades are more readily available - you should be able to gain a ton of power just like the Stingers do. There are some one-off cars right now making ~600whp with turbo upgrades but it's definitely not a complete package at this point.

I recommend JB4 because it's a proven system that can be easily installed / removed if you decide to go another direction (you can sell the JB4 second hand if you need to). That's not something that can be said with an ECU tune.

What happened to the pics?

Jb4 definitely . ....

Welcome!....The JB4 is your quickest ticket to more power out of the OEM setup. After that you can install the k&N filter panels and if you are a DIY'er you may need to take the bumper off to find out the Velossa ducts will fit on you car (doubt it, but its worth a shot). By removing the bumper you will also find out if an intercooler upgrade is also feasible on your platform.
