Drag/Acceleration Kia Stinger 0-60 MPH Times

[Tonkabob]

That's still a really decent 60ft. What can be done to get it down even more on your car?

Just waiting for LC improvements now that Tork has the full DAMOS files.
2400-2500 RPM I have now seems fine. Even 3.5 PSI not too bad, I just want the throttle to open a little faster. It shoots up to 70% or so immediately then opens more slowly up to 10-15MPH.
2500 RPM, 5 PSI full open by 7 or 8 MPH seems like it may be ideal for AWD.

limp SNIP was decent 60 foot but throttle didn't full until 20 MPH. No spin what so ever lol.

I am trying to get the A blinking to happen on command to have more room to launch hard.

seemed to be a timing thing for me. I would have switch previously on, start the car and get to a specific point in my daily commute where it would start blinking. Seen it as a timing thing. Approximately 10 minutes before it would flash. Never panned out for me as it always spun the tires.

Yeah. It seems like timing and weather conditions. I’ve had some good results with blinking. It takes verrry careful throttle position and timing.

If the car is warm and you sit at a stop in D for 1-2 mins it will blink. (Car tries to use auto shut off) Put some new trans $ in your piggy bank!

My success for getting the blinking A for "annihilate mode" is the following:
Car warmed up with trans temp into the 100's and driven for a at least 4-5 mins. Come to a complete stop on a relatively flat area for over 1-2 min and you will feel the break pedal depress and the "annihilate mode" will come on. Works like a charm every single time. I have to do the first two steps because it in the low 20's to 30's temp wise lately. I also found that just disabling traction control (not traction and stability allows for some significant wheel spin on all four wheels without cutting power. Try the same thing with both off and it cuts power.

I already coined "Beast Mode" lol.
But totally agree on the method to bring out the beast.
Never tried with just traction control, good tip but I had to kill the beast.

I know some RWD cars are having traction issues. "tractionally challanged" as I call them. Anyone figured out a nice launch for the RWD guys? I'm RWD and tire smoke is fun and all but spinning isn't winning. Torks shop car is RWD also, and he said he is also tractionally challenged.

I am wondering the same for my RWD.

I run -6psi in 1st and -2psi in 2nd, factory tires, and it's manageable.

@xot1 - this for yoooouuuuu!!!! Haha

Next up, ECU flash and new intercooler. I will crush my own 0-60 soon enough.

You run negitive psi? So your turbos spin the other way?

Congrats!
3 second bracket is serious business
I will tell my friend to hurry up lol.

In my case I stole back the 60-130mph from @Tonkabob (#1 and #2 are big turbos)

Congrats Xot. 60-130 isn't my main focus with my gt2 awd but i will relieve you of the stock turbo title just the same!

As a "tractionally challenged" person, how often do you go through rear tires?

The previous owner was on his 3rd or 4th set at 18k miles. Depends on how heavy your right foot is.

Wow!!! 8 rear tires at 18k miles and probably 4 front tires. 12 tires x 300.00 per tire (out the door) = $3,600.00.
That is a good chunk of change to cover your rubber for 18k miles. But......to each his own.

So, i did more runs tonight after using up some gas (my last best timed run was almost with a full tank of gas), and also to prove to myself that my best time wasn't a fluke...


It wasn't.

My new best with Map 5. Intake, midpipes, exhaust. AWD G70 Sport (heaviest G70 trim).



I am quite pleased with this result.

 

[Slip_Angle]

Impressive runs!

Something tells me this time will continue to drop over the next few months...
