This Install vid helped alot when I first put in my flares. I’ve finally caved after seeing the get lit kit in person and just ordered the flares tonight!
I highly recommend the glow in the dark bodies to go with the LIT kit. The lights are strong enough to make the bodies glow when the lights had been on for a few minutes but are turned off.
The LIT flares come standard with glow in the dark plastic over the LED lights. The flares glow after you turn off the LED lights. But yes, you can order the throats in the same material also.
I had trouble getting the wiring clips off the shroud without cutting them. I couldn’t get to the back of the clips while the shroud was still connected to the wire. I just cut them in the end and I will replace them if I ever go back to stock.
It is important to note that you can do this install without even lifting the car off the ground at all. I did it in my garage without any jacks or ramps at all.
does have any bad or good effect on the engine? bcoz it increase the volume of air/oxygen when you run fast. instead a normal air computed to its original mixture for combustion.
That’s a good question. These are designed to bring in cooler air than what the engine bay currently has, it’s not a direct force of air into the intakes . The engine is going to bring in as much air based on the throttle, not the same as forced induction like from the turbos though .Most people that get these have a tune though and cooler air would be a benefit for more power. I wouldn’t expect much though. In short, these are “better” for the engine overall because heat destroys everything. I’ll be making a before and after video once I get these ordered, still debating on the color duct I want.
The OEM Kia Stinger set-up has a shroud that surrounds to top third of the radiator with a snorkel-style vent that passes air from near the top of that shroud, then past the radiator, eventually to the OEM air filter box. The video demonstrates that shroud coming off before the Velossa Tech big mouth is installed. So, it seems what the Velossa Tech Big Mouth is doing is not completely different than the OEM set-up … it’s just doing it much more directly and it seems apparently more efficiently. It would be interesting to do an actual scientific test to determine the airflow on both the OEM and VT set-up.
I don't think there is any evidence that the volume of air changes, but there is a big difference as to where the air is grabbed from. The OEM set-up grabs air from the top of the shroud. The Velossa Tech Big Mouth grabs air from ahead of the radiator, directly behind the grill. It then funnels that air directly into the engine bay.
@@thomasdangelo1018 yes 👍 in essence it’s brining in cooler air which we all know is better 😃 I’m not a big fan of how Kia engineered the air flow for a twin turbo engine that produces extreme amounts of heat
It depends on what fuse you tap into. If you use a fuse socket that is "constant on," then you must turn the Velossa Techs on and off using the app. If you use a fuse socket that is "engine on" then you do not need to turn off with the app ... but if you want to run the LIT kit with the car off, you will not be able to.

Glad the video helped out! Hope you enjoy your snorkels and new LIT flares
Great job explaining the installation steps you took.

Man thank you for this vid, will come in handy tomm when I install mine 👊👊👊.

True
I’m assuming it would be easier to add an intercooler first before installing this correct?
Where did the butt connector for ground end up going?
Thanks for the vid, how hard is it to line the bumper and mount it back on?
It helps to have two people when lining it up. Otherwise, not difficult.
I did not see where or how you installed the air shroud back on the car? Did you leave it off

Should I turn the switch off when my vehicle isn’t ruining even if I turned it off with the app? Worried about my battery dying

Voids any warranty’s ?
Wish you showed it with the bumper on
Or on my car at my Instagram instagram.com/2268nyp/
Where is east coast Motorsports located ? I am on east coast looking to get some work done.

If I wanted it to turn on & off with the app, would it be connected to always on fuse? Or engine on?
If you wanted on/off only via Bluetooth and the app then you would wire to a constant on fuse slot.
Which kia was that did you install them on?
2018 Kia Stinger GT2 AWD
Does this installment works wit a Stinger GT2
Yes
looks inefficient i agree but why did they make this choice. I would love to hear from the engineers.
