- Hope this helps anyone interested in the RaceChip. It's pretty straight forward. You just have to make sure and wait long enough for the car to "power down" as I call it after putting hood up and locking doors. To be safe I wait about 30 minutes instead of the 10 they suggest
I installed this on my 2021 Forte GT 6 spd OMG WHAT FUN. I didn't think a 4 cylinder could be this much fun. I've used setting 7 and the tires BEG for traction. I also use non-ethnol fuel 90 to 91 octane run fantastic.
I agree. A lot of people bash RaceChip but it makes a difference.
Why do they bash Race Chip?
People you are leaving fun on the table by not adding Boostane or VPN Madditive to your fuel for another +40hp!!
Went to dealership for an oil change and left the chip installed. They didn't say a word about it. The only way I believe that Kia could void my warranty is if something failed and they would have to prove the failure was caused by the racechip. I did remove it for my first trip back there but I'm leaving it installed from now on. Just thought I'd share this info for anyone interested.
Good to know my nigga, I’m always scared to take my car like this getting my oil change thanks nigga
@@Codfansince No problem. Since they never said anything about my intake first time back I said screw it and left the chip installed. It was all good.
They can't deny service for aftermarket parts anyways due to the Magnuson act
Their database now has a record that you’ve installed a racechip. When your engine poops its pants they will point to that database and your warranty is cactus.
I installed this unit today and I can definitely say this little thing works amazing. Thank u for ur video man
Cool. Glad to hear that.
What model do you have? Do you have a link to it? I want to buy one but I don't wat to get the wrong one
@@Mr.DontKnow www.racechip.us/shop/kia/forte-iii-from-2019/1-6t-1591ccm-201hp-150kw-195lb-ft.html
@@Mr.DontKnow I have the S model.
I want to buy one but I have the Gt line 2.0 2021 Forte.
I tried checking one out but says it cannot be shipped to California
Y’all are brave. The 7 speed DCT is only rated for 250 Lb ft. I’m about to lease a 21 GT in White but idk about this one…seems longevity goes out the window with these chips
Nah man u just scared
Modding a lease is a no go, my guy
Few years have gone by. These transmission definitely havent been taking well to long term modding 💀💀 6 speed ftw@joshuanourse9664
I love the car and I love modding. How is the race chip and car holding up? I saw acceleration clips in your other video, but I wasn’t sure if that was before or after your install. Any problems at all? I’m curious about the actually hp numbers when dialed to 10 and how it affects 0-60 and 1/4 mile times.
Car and chip are good. As far as I know nobody around where I am has a dyno to get the numbers. My best stock 0-60 was 6.3. I've recorded a 5.87 with the chip on map 4. Not the best launch either. I've never tried a 1/4 mile run. This S model only has 5 map settings. It does a good job I think.
I have the same chip. Does make a difference in gas mileage and performance. I’m pretty satisfied
Nice sound of your exhaust, one question did you change the full system or you just cut the silencer? Thanks
@@vladz08 I have full custom exhaust done plus down pipe, by sxth element.
Did you upgrade your plugs?
I haven't. Racechip replied that it wasn't necessary. Doesn't say to do so in the instructions either. Just to use 93 octane or higher. Their exact response was,,,
The RaceChip is programmed and tested for cars in stock, so you do not have to replace the spark plugs.
Follow up test run?
Just got my racechip gts!!
The gts. Nice. I was really surprised at the difference the s model made. Your going to have one torquey forte there.
Can this go into a 2021 GT line?
When I ordered from their website I selected(forte III from 2019 and up) the only engine option is the 1.6L turbo.
Where did you get the carb legal cold air intake??
Walmart.com. Before prices went sky high.
Thank you for the video, really want to get it but worried about engine reliability. But even if my engine broke down ill be fine until 100k? Lol not sure.
Kia offers 10 year 100k mike warranty. You’re good for a LONG time!
@@thexxdrocker952 race chip would obviously void warranty. And Kia can tell a racechip was used because ECU
@@HiAnthonyA exactly why I won’t be getting one. It’s not worth voiding your warranty
@@HiAnthonyA It won't void warranty because the ecu won't know. It's not a remap, it's just plug up and remove like it wasn't even there.
@@MrSamwiseable Won't void your warranty as it doesn't talk to ECU, It uses pre-existing sensors etc once unplugged there's no trace of it even being there in the first place.
This is weird that race chip is capable of being plugged and modded with my srt jailbreak SRT hellcat genuine OEM ver. My m850i dedicated one and my Budweiser drift convention assembly I made to harness my ecm and aec engine controller have ports to extent the harness and connection to up boost in power and gain a ps + ratio. I like kia because they are alike Lambo but more is there to dev with. Thanks for making the vid I've been holding off on my forte race chip module assembly bcuz my current build hypes a Kia forte branded with the s from Aventador svj but nobody ever knows about Aventador stuff... I syched myself I'm doing my module in 5 min
Any chance you can tell me what kind of intake you have installed?
K&N 69-5323TS
I m new to this. Can someone tell this chip increase mileage because that is what they were advertising with of course power. Thanks
I averaged 43.9 mpg on a trip to Georgia last year,, around 550 miles. With mixed city/highway driving around town I average around 33-34 mpg with sensible driving. Hard to drive sensibly all the time when you have a little bit of power though👍

I recently watched a very indept video on these chips, and they didn't do anything. If you can, dyno it, and post an update vid.
I've searched for dyno testing near me and the closest one I came up with is almost 2 hours away. Don't really want to go that far that. My 0-60 stock time was 6.37. The last vid I uploaded showing some acceleration,,, I timed that 0-60 at 5.87. I'm not trying to sell these on anyone at all. I just know that it's made a difference on my car. I believe I could get down in the 5.7 range with a good launch and proper grip.
Go watch the Pandaworks video on this. Stock Dyno was 155 to the wheels, 219 after the Racechip GTS. Added about 100 ft/lb of torque as well.
Bro why are you subscribed to Rudy Giuliani?? 😂
@@iyelawolf2196 They're also trying to sell a product. These cars are 201 at the crank. If you factor drivetrain losses (Or just look at dyno runs of stock FGT's) they run about 180 to the wheels.
do you regret not buying the RS? im in the market for one of these
Not really. I didn't want a huge increase in hp. I'm happy with the results the S chip along with the intake gives me.
@@c-mac9736 so if you were in my position, would you buy the S or the RS and why, thanks bro
@@Chingdogs I'd say get the RS model if cash isn't a problem. That was another factor in my getting the S model.
Does this work? You never did a video review on your thoughts of the chip? Are you satisfied with the S or should you have went with the Rs
It does work. No idea of how much more hp it's given me. But it was surprising the difference in takeoff over stock. No regrets on the S model over the RS. Very satisfied.
@@c-mac9736 what setting are you running it on and did you change to colder plugs?
@@Hutchy86 I keep mine on map 4. And I emailed Race Chip asking if replacing the plugs was necessary. They replied back saying replacing the plugs was not necessary. That the chips are tested on cars with stock plugs. 2 1/2 years of use and I've had no problems.
@@c-mac9736 that’s interesting. I can see how with the ‘S’ that’s fine but not with the GTS 🤷♂️
Anyhow thanks for the reply. I take it you still leave it on when you go in for services?
@@Hutchy86 I leave it on.
Still no issues and on stock plugs? Just traded my 17 Cooper S for a 21 Forte GT. About to pull the trigger on this but I've seen tons of people saying you need to to get cooler plugs.
No issues so far. Knock on wood. Car runs great. Racechip emailed me that replacing plugs was not necessary.
@@c-mac9736 Awesome! Sorry to keep asking questions but what map setting and fuel octane are you using for daily use. I've seen some people say that maxing it out to map 7 is too much so I'm just curious of your real world experience. Thanks
@@DanDiMaggio I keep mine on 4. It's kinda more herky jerky or not as smooth it seems maxed on 5. I use 93 most of the time. I have $20 of regular right now. Still runs good in my opinion with regular. Racechip recommends the higher octane.
got a RCs for my cla 250. It makes it much more jumpy on map 5
I love mine. I've been using map 5 lately. I think my car might run better or smoother maybe on map 4.
@@theimperfectdrummer8090 id have to agree. I feel like map 5 is a bit too aggressive. Map 4 seems to be the best balance
@@averageasian292 I agree too. 4 seems to be the best.
Do you keep the car on normal drive or sport mode?
I switch between normal and sport. I use normal mode most of the time though.
I can’t find my boost pressure sensor anywhere in my 2022 forte gt :( also can’t figure out how to get the intake snorkel thing out all the way, it gets caught on the air intake. HELP, I can’t find it anywhere
The boost sensor is under the air filter box. Hard to get to the sensor without removing it.
@@c-mac9736 correct! Literally just finished installing it 15 minutes ago, had someone else do it!
@@scythegames6084 Cool. I've had mine over 2 years now with no issues. You'll like it.👍
@@c-mac9736 I have the XLR and GTS for max performances and I have them set to eco since the install earlier today because I am under the impression you have to start slow before doing race mode 😔
which chip is this? Also why do you need 93 octane? can you still run 87?
It works with regular fuel. I apologize about saying you have to use 93 octane. It does not say that in my instruction book. I read it in their FAQ section on website. They only suggest it to get the most power. I have the S model,,claims 32hp and 56 torque. They have the RS, GTS and GTS Black models also I think.
@@c-mac9736 have you noticed big differences?
@@Rickytiger97 yes. Tge factory setting on the chip is #3. You can tell a difference right away. But put it on #4 and there is a big difference in torque and take off. Going to film a 0-60 run.
Can you install that race chip on a 2021 Hyundai sonata SEL Plus?
I think so if you have the 1.6L turbo. I would send message to racechip usa to be sure.
I haven't really notice a difference on setting 5 since I have the racechip s. What should I be feeling for? Also how do you know if you received the right chip? I bought mine from Pandamotorworks because it's waaay cheaper on there and noting in or on the box says its for a forte gt.
I bought mine from Racechip usa. www.racechip.us. On the front of my manual it says Forte 1.6T. You have to choose make, model, engine size so you're getting one for your specific engine. I had a noticeable difference in power/torque on setting 3. If you're not even getting anything on 5 then something is definitely wrong. Plus I see price has gone up since I got mine. The S model was $279. $329 on their website now. I hope you get it sorted out.
@@c-mac9736 its still 279 for the s model on pandas website. Not sure I'll check the manual when i get home and test it a bit more. Thanks for the tip!
@@kaliss7192 Ok. It went up to 329 on racechip's website. You don't have the wires crossed do you🤔 Just kidding. You should have had an immediate difference in power on setting 3 right out of the box. I'd definitely contact Panda and let them know what's going on. I've been driving mine on setting 5 using regular gas and it's pretty torquey. I can't afford to use the 93 octane anymore thanks to Biden.
@@c-mac9736 pandas website has the same chip listed for GT/Elantra Sport/ Veloster Turbo. They also don't ask you for a make and model when purchasing the chip. I have a sneaky feeling that they just send you a chip for any of those models like they're interchangeable or something. Probably why my manual doesn't have my model listed. That or im paranoid af. **update** i talked to pandas support and they do send you the same chip for any of those models. They said its all the same engine so it doesn't matter which chip you get. That seems a little sus but idk.
@@kaliss7192 It should still work I guess. It is the same motor. Thing is you should be getting something if the chip is good and you hooked it up correctly. You didn't immediately start the car right away did you.? My instructions were to just turn on the ignition to make sure no check engine lights came on and to make sure the light on the chip is on and a solid green. Then it says you can start the car if was ok.
Debating between this or JB4 🧐
What’d you end up choosing and how’s it holding up
This is gonna pretty drastically shorten the lifespan of the turbo, right?
I hope not. Racechip says it is specifically made for turbo engines. I know they can say or claim anything to sell a product. I just went by reviews I read on the chip. I've been using it now for about 6-7 months I think no issues.
Had a IE stage1 tune and blew up the turbo. Had 30k miles on it. Bought the car used, one owner. Don't know if the turbo was going out and the extra boost helped it fail. Was getting 22-24 lbs of boost, and took off a second on 1/4 mile time. Was nice till it blew up. Be careful, adding too much does wear on things. Just have a repair savings account. 😉
Someone has been running one on map 7 for over 20k miles, as a track car/test car, and has had no problems.
@@moochiezpitt well that sucks!
What car and what racechip?
Noticeable gains?
Yes
Work with 2021 Kia GT
It should. I purchased from their website racechip.us and just put in your car info.
Does this work for the 2020 Kia Forte LXS?
They only work with the turbo engines I believe.
I have the same model and I wanna do things to it but I don’t want it to be rice 😔😔 I’m debating on getting a exhaust
Wouldn't this void your warranty?
Not sure. Depends on how cool your dealership is with it I guess. I read a comment on a forum that one guy's dealership didn't say anything about it. I just remove it beforehand if I have to go in for service.
@@c-mac9736 you remove it so dealership won't see it. My, your an honest feller, aren't ya.
@@johnfranklin5277 I'm leaving it on next visit. I'll keep you informed since your so concerned.
Will this void warranty?
I'm not exactly sure. Probably if they knew about it. It only takes a few minutes to take off so that's what I did for my first service at the dealership. I read a comment somewhere that that particular guys dealership didn't say anything about it. I'm not going to chance it.
@@c-mac9736 is it the same process taking it off? Like you have to wait the 30 minutes like you do before installing
@@champion1389 Yes. Per instructions it's only 10 minutes but I usually wait 15-20 just to be sure.
No that’s not it, you have to pair it with your phone

Its cuz I just got my 2021 kia forte gt line buts it's auto so I just been asking around if I can still put one cuz it's auto
Is it worth the investment, I've been considering getting one?
I think so. I did a 0-60 run when first hooked up and without a good launch did a 5.9. Best I got stock was 6.3. I'm going to do another one with video and hopefully a better launch. There's a very noticeable difference in torque with the racechip.

Who u racing !!! I think I’ll look dumb racing my Kia Forte
I'm sorry guys, but gimmicks like these only increase throttle response and maybe gas mileage. It's been proven these do not work. The "extra" performance people experience is just the throttle response being more on point.
It works but the dyno graphs look like a cardio gram though. Because the ECU and box are constantly limiting each other.
@@davidjean6753 or didn't do anything at all, other than possibly throttle response. You can't truly tune a car unless you are capable of getting a base map so you know what needs to be modified. There is nothing significant you'll notice with "chip". And if I paid a couple hundred for my tune, with hp tuners, you can bet your ass that a $70 chip isn't going to be worth any gains. Js
@@jperdue3567 This is not one of those OBD gimmick chips. It actually works by spoofing the ecu's boost pressure causing the engine to allow more boost from the turbo. You can see the difference if you have an old school boost gauge that is tied to the vacuum line. The Forte GT peaks at 15psi in stock form. With the Race Chip, it will push it up to 21psi.
@@joneste7077 this is new to me because I've never ever heard of a chip working. I can't exactly speak on charged vehicle's though.
@@jperdue3567 For NA vehicles its pretty much BS. For charged vehicles, these are known as piggy-back systems. They just use the stock ecu and spoof the pressures to trick the car that is is not producing as much boost as it should be. As long as the piggy-back system is programed to not push the boost too high, the stock ecu will maintain all the normal failsafe that are programmed with the car.
