Hi. Would you recommend racechip? Did it deliver what you expected? I've read a lot of back and forth reactions about it all over the internet. In some other video you mentioned that you plan dyno test it. Would be nice to try that and see what each of mod (off, eco, sport, race) adds. Or have you done it already?
Still no dyno, just like no recent uploads. I've just been very busy with work and family. Yes though, I would recommend the racechip GTS. It works with supporting mods. People who just slap it on with no supporting mods and 87 octane won't get any real gains. I have heard JB4 is better, but I am just waiting until my warranty is up before I change anything around. I think the Racechip is a blast, but the best upgraded for this car have been suspension... It's a light little whip, and fun in corners
Take your plastic cover off of the engine! Those are notoriously bad for holding in engine heat. If you pop it off and look at the underside of the cover, you’ll see that it’s insulated. Bad for running your engine hard since it’ll contribute to heat soak. Take it off. It’s only for show and causes your engine block to heat up faster.
I just picked up a 2024 and was thinking of doing some small mods like this, my question is did any of these mods void any factory warranties on the vehicle?
Looking at a 2022 Forte GT 6 speed manual right now. Has 11k miles and is going for just under $21k. Seriously considering trading in my 16’ ram 1500. Most people I’m asking bout Kia’s however all say it’s gunna suck yadayadayada. But the more I research the more I like bout this car.
Kia is easily as reliable as Chrysler. Neither one have Toyota level reliability reputations, but Kias aren't trash like they used to be. GDI engines require a bit more maintenance than standard port injection, and carbon can cause huge problems.
@@cadbane1980 thanks for the response. In terms of GDI maintenance what should I be expecting? More frequent oil changes? Replacing fuel injectors more often? Spark plug replacement?
@@cadbane1980 thanks for the response. Is this something the dealership will do? Just bought a 2022 forte gt will 11.7k miles on it a couple of days ago.
@@cadbane1980 nice I’m about to buy the panda motoworks bundle with the race chip and stage 2 intake. I have the 2022 forte and haven’t done any mods yet other than sound system
Could I do just the downpipe and racechip and nothing else? Would it still give a good boost in power or do i need the cold air intake. I feel like if I avoided the air intake it would be impossible to tell if the car was modified (saving warranty)
Tork... I know people say either good or bad about them. In my experience their quality and customer service have always been good. I'm very happy with the downpipe.
Maybe the Racechip, if they can somehow trace it. It's piggy back and would be hard to tell that it was even in there. Everything else "should not" void the warranty. However, I hear that Hyundai/Kia are asses with honoring their warranties to begin with.
I'm far from an expert but I think you definitely need an oil catch can. I put in a jb4 and spark plugs and after only about five hundred miles I had about a half ounce of dirty liquid in my catch can. I just know a lot of people recommended one with any piggyback or tune.
An oil catch can is good, but not needed. These cars don't put out enough power. It's a supporting mod for people who are going to eventually go bigger. Just like the HKS plugs are unneeded with JB4 or any other piggy back. I thought the plugs helped, but they fouled up in 10k miles, and caused my motor to throw a code p2097. I argued against colder plugs being a bad idea on just piggy back setups, but I listened to the masses and it was a bad idea.
@@cadbane1980 I don't have a lot of experience I just put my jb4 in like 2 weeks ago and I bought the HKS plugs and GAP them down to like 22-24. So far I've been lucky and all my logs look pretty good. I can run map3 on 93 only and just did a 6.15 0-60 on the dragy. The only thing I have besides plugs and catch can is an after-market k&M high performance air filter that just goes into my stock box. I just couldn't believe after taking an out-of-town trip and some local DrivIng how much dirty liquid was in that
It's the cheapskate route to vent to atmosphere. It does nothing but make noise. It would be better to get a good BOV, but it's just a Kia, not super high performance. I just did it for fun, and it sounds awesome.
That GTS voids the crap out of the engine warranty and potentially the tyranny too. BTW I have a 2023 GT with GT2 package. I run a GTS set on 7 daily with 93 octane. No issues after 11000 miles of use... knock on wood .

Bro got the 2009 editing special.
This is extremely helpful in terms of explaining what the mods are actually meant to accomplish. Great video.
Great explanations! Thanks for making this
Glad it was helpful!
sick asf!! thank you so much I have the 2023 GT2 package pearl I'm definitely trying to do the same
Thanks
Just ordered a GTS for my 1.5l fusion hopefully it’s near that level of power gain.
Nice

Get an ecu tune, race chip just fools the stock perameters

Did any of these mods shorten the dct farts or made them sound more like pops?
Changing the exhaust made a big difference. The dct sound never really goes away though.
I just picked up a 2024 and was thinking of doing some small mods like this, my question is did any of these mods void any factory warranties on the vehicle?
Nothing technically voids the warranty. However, each Kia dealership is different and many will refuse to touch your car if it has a single mod.

@@Burgher1605 the intake valves are where the carbon builds up. They need to be cleaned every 10k miles or so.

@@Burgher1605 just watch a video on CRC intake and turbo cleaner, and follow the instructions. Way cheaper to do it yourself.
What mod makes the turbo get the woosh sound? And also do you need a special fuel for the race chip
93 octane for the chip.
The turbo sound is mainly from adding an aftermarket intake.
@@cadbane1980 nice I’m about to buy the panda motoworks bundle with the race chip and stage 2 intake. I have the 2022 forte and haven’t done any mods yet other than sound system

also would i need exhaust and sparkplugs too? or could i skip them and it wouldnt hurt the car
You need the plugs and higher octane. Intake absolutely does not void warranty, but uneeded with just a racechip.
Where did you get the front sway bar from ?
Evilla Motorsports
What downpipe are you using?
Tork... I know people say either good or bad about them. In my experience their quality and customer service have always been good. I'm very happy with the downpipe.
Any plan for wagner intercooler?
I'm thinking about going sxth. Their kit comes with a new hot pipe as well.
Now will any of these go against warranty?
Maybe the Racechip, if they can somehow trace it. It's piggy back and would be hard to tell that it was even in there. Everything else "should not" void the warranty. However, I hear that Hyundai/Kia are asses with honoring their warranties to begin with.
Estimate Hp gain with current mods?
About 70 on map7. Nothing special, but enough to change to feel of the car.

Recommended a BVP delete ?

what was the cost and labor for everything?
Less than $500. I did most of it myself.
What about all parts?
@@_GodOfWar_ less than 2k
@@cadbane1980 Thank you
@_GodOfWar_ if you go any bigger than the price increases exponentially.
No saund clips

Not worth voiding a 100k mile warranty imo
Nothing I have done voids the warranty.
@Cad Bane I'd argue you're wrong but 👌
That GTS voids the crap out of the engine warranty and potentially the tyranny too.

all those mods void warranty!
Literally they dont.
