I got a manual GT here in SoCal , this gave me the final push to get the S. I was also surprised at how little content on TH-cam of the GT, then even more so with the manual
@@danlittle447 congrats! The manuals are hard to find. You’ll love the race chip! I’ll be putting a lot more content out, it sucks there isn’t much content on TH-cam!
@@PetrolJuice man I had the whole GoPro setup, was doing some motorcycle videos for about a year. Started on my MT07, then CBR600rr, then my Ninja ZX10R was my last bike and I had a bad wreck. Almost lost my arm and my life. Never got back into videos, but I am thinkin about it with my GT
@@danlittle447 damn sorry to hear that man, I’m glad you’re ok! I love motorcycles as well. I’m on my 7th or 8th motorcycle at the moment and it’s just a pure addiction. You should get back into it, it’s fun just recording everything you do, especially when you look at it years later on TH-cam!
I totally agree that its an amazing mod! I've had mine in since December and I couldn't be happier. Love my 23 GT!
@@jjdburk1 glad to hear! Enjoy your GT
Been waiting for someone to make this video on a newer gt
@@brightriders635 glad I can help!
I'm telling you. I've had the turbo and intercooler replaced under the factory warranty (with a borla axle back exhaust and a k&n COI as well) All you have to do is take the @RaceXhip harness off, and there's no issue or a record on the ECU of any enhancements. I have the RaceChip GTS black, and it's amazing!
Thanks for the info, this definitely helps in case anything happens in the future!
its so nice seeing a forte gt channel, makes me wanna start modding my forte haha
Dude.. I watched this video and then immediately went on racechip and bought the RS one 😭 I’d been going back and forth on it forever so I appreciate your video giving some insight!!
@@Christopher12629 sweet!! You’ll love it man! I just went to map 5 yesterday and it’s like my car wants to always speed on the highway in sport lol. Glad I can help!
@@PetrolJuice it got here super fast too, I was very surprised it could ship from Germany to Ohio in a day and a half! Got it installed about an hour ago and love it so far, it makes a pretty big difference in acceleration and I agree with you, it makes it so much more torquey! Gotta get rid of these crappy Kumho tires and get something that actually sticks!
@@Christopher12629 yeah I was surprised at the shipping too! Glad you got it on, it really wakes the car up! Def upgrade the tires if you go to max settings, it really starts to pull! The Michelin pilot sports I have grip great
Def worth it . I have it on 5 and pedal tuner
@@brent1819 nice! It definitely makes a huge difference.
Bro I just put this in and damn it’s crazy even on low how much torque it added. Just got a pierburg solenoid and bov too
@@DJSLANKMAN right! It’s a huge difference, especially if you put premium gas
@@PetrolJuice I have been using 87 but this week im going to prem after getting this. i was just in normal and it felt like it was in sport now on map3. deff worth
Hey there! Fellow NJ GT owner here!
My daily is a 23 Forte GT 6MT.
Mods done so far are: Debadged, boomba short throw shifter and transmission adapter, Race Chip S, resonator delete, second cat Delete, TMS Short Ram Intake.
I also had a 10th gen SI and I LOVE this car. The only car I plan on keeping until it dies. The intake was the most recent addition and it really transforms the car after.
If you ever want to link up I’m down to make a vid with you showing the car and mods!!
@@tommytypes1721 hey Tommy that’d be sweet! DM me on instagram @_petroljuice_
I used to have a 10th gen civic Si as well. I miss that car. We should definitely chat!
Ohhhh thank the lords ive been looking for a updated installment on the kia forte gt ❤

Ill definitely look into one later on just got my 6speed gt 2021 maybe mufflers first its a fun car never thought id drive a kia love the imports never disappoint me great video .
@@frankromeo3884 congrats on the GT! I never thought I’d be driving a Kia too😂
nice bro im gonna get the race chip s soon i only have 400 miles on my car but after my first oil change im gonna install im using premium fuel now
@@user-yv8cb2xb7k you’ll love it! Congrats on the GT
I was thinking about getting RS model for quite some time but i am afraid that would void my warranty. That is only "no go" for me. There is short video of German owned of Proceed (it is cooler looking variation of Forte here in Europe) who is pushing with RCH GTS around 250 hp and 370Nm of torque on dyno, which is massive improvement. After lot of research, reliability is still a question for me, it definitely works. I'll wait for update after few months.
@@maXXik1337 that’s what has been holding me back for a while, but I figured to just take the risk and go for it. I’ve seen many people with this tune on Map 7 for years and still no issues. I’m currently daily driving on Map 5 with no issues as well. It definitely makes the driving experience more fun!
I have the GTS and XLR. The XLR enhances the driving experience.
@@ae86fiend nice! I heard great things about the XLR
Great video. BTW got my MBRP exhaust installed 2 weeks ago and wow it sounds amazing with my dct
@@marck.5116 thanks! And congrats on the new exhaust! The DCT shifts sound amazing with MBRP.
Sounds clips?
@@joedonnelly5089 I’ll do some more within the next few weeks but I do have some clips and videos of the MBRP on my channel!
Great video bro , I installed the RACECHIP RS on my kia proceed 2023 gt to my surprise it works on Map 6 dyno gain 23 hp 45 NM ECO MAP 3 GAIN ABOUT 18 WHILE SPORT MAP 5 GAIN ABOUT 19
@@kodiko5137 thanks! That’s some good power gain, the torque is amazing too in those maps!
Yeah it pulls without issues or Torque lag love it
Hey man just curious, I have a 24 forte gt and my three modes are normal sport and smart , I can’t seem to find any information if they changed the modes or not , any idea?
Your head gasket must be loving life
@@illegalkegels 😎
Got to change the license plate though
@@rockbigfoot5531 I have a custom vanity plate on its way!
Thanks for these installs videos. Keep up the content fam. Do you need any fuel additives for map3 or is it just plug and go
@@DJSLANKMAN You’re welcome and thanks!! You don’t need any fuel additives for any of the maps since Race Chip claims they made all of the maps to be ran in completely stock form. I do recommend to run premium though if you’re in the higher tunes since you get noticeably more power from what I feel. But again, no need to!
@@PetrolJuice Right on man thanks! what about the spark plugs?
@@DJSLANKMAN I’ve heard a mix of things, but according to race chip, even stock plugs can be used.
bro live right by me 😂 i got the gt line worse mistake ever, once this lease is up gt coming
@@michaelloureiro aye come say hi!
First, this is an excellently produced video. Good job.
I really want this but a little scared about the warranty and having to take it off every time I go to the dealer. That bottom plug looks a little hard to reach. This is my first new car and I'm scared of breaking it. Other than that, boy do I want this. Some other questions, do you need 91 gas with this for map 5 and would this increase carbon build up over time?
@@Brian-ph7jg thanks! I appreciate you watching!
That new car feeling and not wanting to risk voiding warranty was holding me back from doing this too, but I just decided to risk it and go all in. From what I hear, many people run this and are still able to get warranty work done. Just depends if your dealer cares enough to look into it.
No need for premium, as race chip made this piggy back tune to run on a fully stock GT! Although if you run premium, you’ll be pushing the most you can for power with these tune. I would also say carbon build up would increase over time, so I’d recommend an oil catch can. Worse case scenario, you can always get a walnut blast done in the future to remove carbon build up, but that won’t happen until high mileage
One thing to really bring it alive is a pedal throttle response controller. I got the roar pedal and its amazing! Thinking about getting this aswell but dont know if there will be much difference given that I already have a pedal box.
@@VisionVibesMedia I was contemplating on getting the pedal controller but just a little more than what I was willing to spend. I bet it feels a lot quicker now though!
I've bought a '16 VELOSTER Turbo mid 2018. At the time
These guys are phenomenal! At the time, they only had a RaceChip developed for an Elantra if I remember correctly. They had to develop one for the Veloster(I received it approx 4 months later) I got the GTS Black
Great deal their customer service is phenomenal, customer service is phenomenal. The one thing I'm not sure was mentioned, with the GTS Black they have the ability to do over-the-air updates if you describe what, if any issues you'd like tweaked.
Only other modifications are a Borla axle-back exhaust & a K&N CAI.... ABSOLUTELY AMAZING PRODUCT/ COMPANY
@@jamesdaley75 agreed!
The gts i bought for my wifes soul gt line turbo did absolutely nothing even after driving for a week on 3. Went to 7 and still nothing.
Interesting. Maybe something was wrong with it, there's a definite difference with it on my car. Especially if I use premium
Idk if you’ve already gotten the new afe takeda intake yet . But when I installed mine with the $5 Bov bypass to atmosphere, I got huge turbo lag because it felt like after every up shift the turbo pressure completely dumped off. Just something to consider if you haven’t gotten the intake yet. But being you’re already using a piggy back that could be countered with the higher boost pressure that you now have and the throttle response.
I’m thinking about buying the gts version of this piggy back. Definitely going to need to swap my plugs.
@@urboymk thanks for the info; I do have the intake on but currently not experiencing any issues. I’d agree that maybe the piggy back is counteracting that issues, but I also would double check that everything is sealed tight as well just in case. You’ll love the race chip, it really wakes the car up!
@@PetrolJuice hell yeah bro I bet you’re enjoying it! When I get mine I’ll for sure post a video about it. #ForteGang
I've got a 2024 can I use this on stock plugs with stock gaps (I believe theyre 0.025 heat range 8). Probably only going to use map 5 (racechip rs). Also gonna get the k&n drop in filter too. Anyone had any experience with this configuration?
@@budge3281 you should be able to run it stock no problem, I daily drive with map 5 and it’s amazing. You won’t regret it!
Can you put the model RS RaceChip Tuning Module on a DCT 2024 Kia Forte GT?
@@ryancorns87 yup! Same exact car just a different year
@@ryancorns87 yup! Same exact car just a different year
Does the inherent limited slip of the DCT make this setup more entertaining on the curves?
@@martinduke368 honestly not sure since I have a manual but I don’t think it messes with the transmission tune anyway
This better than jb4
Definitely is easy to use! Haven’t used JB4 before but also seems great
so how much power does it give?
@@yourmanzach2307 the S model (lowest of race chip which I have) adds 32hp and 56lb-ft torque
could always put a throttle controller on too
@@rhysbruh8387 I was thinking about it!
@@PetrolJuice me too. I’ve heard the race chips aren’t that good for your car is this correct?
@@rhysbruh8387 I honestly have tried to do as much research as possible prior to purchasing it and I couldn’t find 1 post that had issues with race chip. I’d say as long as you don’t push it to its limits every day, you should be fine. Especially if u run premium gas
@@PetrolJuice could you run normal unleaded or meant to run premium?
@@rhysbruh8387 you can run either. But you can definitely feel a power difference when using premium. I now daily using premium fuel
Do you need to do any preliminary thing before getting this? Like tuning it before hand or making sure you have proper parts to sustain the use of it?
No need at all to prepare! I would just make sure that your car is broken in at first if its new (fresh oil change etc) then you're all set! Race Chip says they made this to run in stock form so no need to check or change anything in general. You can even run regular as well, although I recommend premium
Are you running this on a stock exhaust?
@@Prod.VXNILLA nope, MBRP Axle Back + aFe Takeda stage 2 intake
Have you had any problems regarding reliability with the racechip? I have a 21 forte gt dtc with 38k miles and don’t wanna get anything that’s going to risk the reliability
@@austinpalen3308 Haven’t had any issues regarding reliability. I currently have it on the highest setting and still daily drive it and push it hard once in a while, it’s a blast. I’ve heard from others that they have been running it on the highest setting well over 30k miles with no issues so hopefully that will be the same with mine.
Ok and are you running 91 fuel on the highest setting?
@@austinpalen3308 correct! Although I was running regular at first. But I can definitely feel the difference
just got a 2024 kia forte gt with the manual, lookin to do some mods soon but im trying to be 100% certain i dont f up my warranty. lmk if you get any definitive info!!! thanks for the vid!
You're welcome, and congrats! You'll love the GT.
Do you need to use higher octane when the race chip is installed?
@@AlienImagery no need to, it’ll run fine with regular. But you’ll lose out on its full potential with power. I use regular if I know I’m going to be driving long distances for work, but I’ll use premium if I’m mostly going to be having fun. You can feel the power difference
@@PetrolJuice thank you!
Are you running colder sparks? is it needed?
Nope, stock plugs and still on regular gas. According to race chip, it’s not needed as their product is made to run in stock configuration. Although I did change to premium yesterday and there’s definitely a power difference
2023 and 2024 supposedly have colder plugs than the previous models too. Some say to gap them but I'll probably send it as is when I get mine
@@budge3281 I did hear that as well. Worst case scenario, at least plugs are pretty cheap
Do you hvae a idea on web site for the race chip for my car later on?
@@frankromeo3884 yup you can go right on race chip’s website: www.racechip.us/shop/kia/forte-iii-from-2019/1-6t-2019-2023-1591ccm-201hp-150kw-195lb-ft.html
Hey are you sure this works for the 2024 Forte GT? The website lists it as compatible for years 2019-2023
@@therealchriskim yes the 2024 is the exact same platform just a newer year
@@PetrolJuice interesting… that would be great but I’m seeing a lot of reputable sites for mods/parts only list up to 2023 for supported models. Any idea what’s up with that?
@@therealchriskim most likely they haven’t updated their websites to reflect that the GT is up to 2024 now. Common issue when a new year is added to a lineup
Are you the life enthusiast on reddit?
@@MisterMister5893 that’s me!
I heard they mess up your car .. is it true ?
I haven't heard of any instance from anyone that it messed up their car, but so far no issues for me
Does it mess the engine up to leave the Air hose off and zip tied like that?
@@frankromeo3884 not at all! From what I researched, there’s no MAF sensor so leaving the return tube disconnected is completely fine
