700 wheel hp. Is that a new record?

Wow! 708 hp to the wheels is a ton. Is that a RWD or AWD car? I wonder what tires they are going to use to put all of that power down with?

With over 800 crank hp a lack of traction might actually be beneficial to them. If they strapped on a set of drag radials I'd expect to see some broken parts in their future. On the other hand, maybe they modified the transmission and suspension to handle the extra 400 horsepower (admittedly I didn't watch the video).

If it's RWD probably one's with nails in them.. Modern 3.0L plus engines are quite incredible, Porsches 3.8L six cylinder Bi-Turbo produces 690HP with a warranty.

Heh, what is old is new. I guess throttle body injection is making a comeback.

So what’s the price tag on 700hp?

LS swap probably would have been cheaper

They mention all new plumbing for the new turbos, extra injectors, etc.. My guess - given the sales potential / how much it costs vs. how many they expect to sell, how much LAP3 charges for upgrades, etc - minimum $15K USD.

Anyone else notice all of the pad deposits on the front brake rotors?

They said extra injectors?! (I gotta watch)

Looks like a cool build.. Too bad they tuned it with Uni-Chip.

Sounds like a fuel setup similar to Fuel-ITs CPI kit we have on our Stinger.

Terry, talking about your CPI, where is it at?!?!?!? LOL!!!!!

Progress has been made an the final kit is approved for release but our building move has set us back a few more weeks.

Awesome - at least there's progress.

We only get RWD here. Plus you can see on the dyno run that only the rears are spinning.

 

[Reldas]

thats awesome, i hope they come out with a kit soonish. Once lock down is over in melbourne might drive down to talk to them.

more info and picture on work done - World Record Kia Stinger 700hp Kit

 

[turboAWD]

Yeah - they want $2200 ($AU, I assume) TUNE ONLY. Intakes are $1500. Exhaust adds another $2300 and intercooler another cool $2000, for a total of $7999. They claim 100-110 RWKW, which is, MAX 150 whp for $AU 8K - around $US 5700. I think you can get similar results with a BMS 450 whp pack for ~$1K?

If intakes cost $AUS 1500 (2x anyone else's price), and lap3 charges $US 10K for tuner + turbos, this kit will be $AUS 25K minimum, or closer to $US 18-20K, I would guess.

 

[Reldas]

things in aus are expensive but yeah they pricing is pretty ridiculous.

So the owner gets to have a $70k car with a $20k trade-in value. Might as well buy a new M3/M4, C63, RS5. At least the owner still has a warranty to go with their massive devaluation.

None of those cars have anywhere near 700 HP to the wheels. You have to pay to play with the big boys.
