I have recently fitted the base RaceChip 'S' to my 2015 KIA Proceed GT. £159.00 shipped from/made in Germany. What a difference. +33HP/77NM torque (claimed). The more expensive versions are RS/GTS but they don't offer much more 'bang for your buck' so I went for the 'S'. More lower end pull and it has transformed the car. Same engine as the vehicle on this video. Really pleased. And fuel economy better. All it does it kick the turbo in quicker with more boost and alters the fuel injection pressure and timing but all within manufacturers tolerences. The 'S' has to be manually set from within the bonnet (hood) with ignition on but engine not running. I have no warning lights or issues and my KIA GT is now on a par with Golf GTI Performance for £159.00. 👍🙂
We have dyno data available from the manufacturer if you would like. Please give us an email address and we can send it out. Our video is primarily an installation guide, it's not a full review nor designed to promote specific power gains, which change from vehicle to vehicle.
Ur never c one on a dyno 🤣 if u get one may as well put ur money in the bin all independently dyno'd cars with boxes on get removed by lawyers or thay say the car is faulty 🤣 iv even had a reply the atmospheric conditions must of change the results if want 5hp and realistically that is about what ur get a bit more on a vag some of the time depending on what sensors r fighting against it if u want 30/40hp get it mapped, racechip say 50hp extra 🤣 not possible form that engine without changing parts 🤣 all these videos r the same all numbers nothing to back it up 🤷 save ur money get a quicker car if u want one if u love it and want to keep it map it a leave it at that as everything else in 2/3 hp for lots of money
I was hesitant at first thinking maybe this just be placebo power, but I got one for my 2015 veloster turbo and it's noticeable! Makes the car a lot more peppy. If you're on the fence, just pull the trigger, you won't be disappointed. I will say my mpg went from 27 to 20, but whatever... numbers...
Is your car stock? I have a 15 turbo too and I put an aftermarket exhaust on and now my car runs supper rich . Would this help my air/fuel ratio ? Or let me tweak it.?
Running an exhaust on a Veloster Turbo should not affect how rich the car runs, unless a sensor was damaged. They run wideband oxygen sensors in the exhaust and the ECU has a Lambda target for fueling. A different exhaust would cause more airflow, but the ECU has +/- 25% fuel correction to correct back to it's lambda targets, so it would correct it back to being the right fuel for the extra air flow. If you're using more fuel and no sensors are damaged, it's because you're driving it harder because it sounds better, if you're covering the back of your car with black soot, then I'm going to suggest that you've gone up to a 3" exhaust which is too big for a 200HP 1.6T and you're lowering flow velocity too much causing the soot from fuel to build up a bit easier. It shouldn't actually be running any richer, just appears that way.
Yes...they give the guarantee for the motor itself but not for the gearbox (or the whole powerline) which will be limiting sometimes and you brake it with extra torque. In my case even the S model overlaps 20 Nm the max torque of my automatic gearbox and if I install it I do not know which setting I can adjust just to the limit.
We have cars with DCT gearboxes making 130HP MORE than stock, with a completely stock gearbox, and no problems. The DCT can hold a lot more torque than it's apparently rated for
I know a guy who also has the 6 spd manual and pulling 300 hp. He still has that setup for 2 years now and with no problem. The 6 spd can take big power
So I know that this video is old but I had my RaceChip in my 2019 Hyundai Veloster Turbo. They promise it won’t do anything to the cars stock plugs but unfortunately they do. The chip works but with stock oem plugs, it will damage them and make the car misfire. Right now I’m gonna give the chip one last chance however I will be adding some HKS spark plugs this time. Overall the chip does what it says but it’s not a big noticeable difference from my experience. Plus I highly recommend to not use stock plugs when running it.
Will this work with a 2023 Seltos 1.6L Turbo? Obviously, it can be said that this wouldn’t be recommended on a leased vehicle?.. However, there is “no evidence left behind” of the mod and once it’s removed; it’s considered stock?
Question Tristan, how does the stock ECU respond to a downpipe install? I'm noticing large power gains claimed and wondering if this is safe on the stock ECU in terms of boost limit control and AFRs for eg. Cheers mate!
RaceChip and Cherry Tuning both recommend replacing the plugs if you're planning on using the RS or GTS chip. The higher boost pressures and more aggressive timing that are targeted by the RaceChip will add additional heat and stress to the engine, running colder spark plugs is an easy and cost effective way to help keep things a little more under control.
Guys please help, it's urgent! Where is the manifold pressure sensor on a Sportage QL 2L diesel?! I can't find it for the life of me. I need to install Racechip GTS and it asks for common rail and turbo boost pressure sensor.
It would be good if you did a before and after 0-100 test on the car. I got a i30 SR and would like to know the differences. It also could help you sell more if it makes a fair bit of difference 😉 Also, why do you need to set it to 4 first and not go straight to 6?
When I see these tuning chips and read extra horse power, extra torque, better fuel economy. So why wouldn’t the multi million dollar or billion dollar company that probably spend millions of dollars in testing their product add this to the factory chip.
Manufacturers are building cars that have to work with lower quality fuel, and run with standard servicing, driven sedately for hundreds of thousands of miles and over 20+ years If you're happy to run your car on premium fuels and actually look after them properly with servicing, you can usually get a lot more power out of them safely and reliably
I did this, and my Bluetooth went out on the chip. And then my engine blew up haha. With 39k miles on it. I understand this, but the lap3usa piggyback is safer and probably adds more power, not sure on that part though.
@RJ mi hi RJ,i have a high power race chip gts 186 kw/381 nm on my cerato gt cost around 1000 dollars run on ron 98.use a race logic v Box gps timing tool done on a private road.Watch Raitis ride he has avideo on cerato gt with same race chip am thinking of a vid soon
While it's unfortunate that this happened on your 5 year old car, you're asking a car to make more boost than factory. This always comes with inherent risk factors. Generally if a car is well maintained and looked after properly, a RaceChip will not drastically decrease it's service life.
i have the gts and they never tell me to use it at a lower power setting then at a higher setting for maximum performance.....how can i validate this info?
Yes you need to use 98 Octane, most of our customers find that with normal driving they fuel consumption decreases, as the car learns to upshift to higher gears sooner.
If you're not wanting to reflash the computer, the RS would still be a decent upgrade, or even the GTS, especially if you can get it on sale, which happens from time to time.
@@inyoudeep1 Ah yes, a "Chinese scam" Made in Germany.. These actually do work as I have recently bought one.. And to answer the question Michael, Yes it will void warranty, But is untraceable as it's only sensor data, once removed there's no proof
@@Jightog8189 Made in Germany, like the trash cars, Alphacool, Bequiet, and everything else that Germany no longer can make in any kind of quality? 30 years ago " Made in Germany" meant quality, not it's on par for Chinese junk. However, they are made in China, and sold under several other names! There is no such thing as an untraceable chip. You lost All credit with that comment alone!
With the new CVVD motor? That's likely to come out sooner rather than later. RaceChip always develop their tunes on their dyno, so it will take time for them to get their hands on one of the new cars to develop a tune in Germany.
@@CherryTuningPerformance Will that also work on the new 2.5 turbo in the upcoming Santa Cruz truck and Sorrento/Santa Fe? Maybe not the SUV's so much, but a chip on the 2.5 turbo in the new Santa Cruz truck with AWD would be great?
The i30N uses a 3-plug loom - the A and B plugs are the same but the i30N has a C plug which connects to the intake camshaft position sensor on the front of the motor.
As above, most people remove it for servicing. Technically, yes, if you're tuning the car (even with a piggyback) you're voiding the warranty. But most people aren't worried about removing it for trips to the dealer so they don't know it's been tuned.
You should not get any engine lights running this chip, if you do, then there's a problem somewhere. If that happens, we recommend getting in touch with whomever you bought the chip from.
No, these are a boost controller, your car doesn't have a turbo to make any boost to control. Focus on intake and exhaust mods for the most gain from a non-turbo car.
He's like just remove the race chip and there's no left over evidence it was ever there but earlier also said it uses short and long term fuel trim to trick the engine into making more power. So unless you ran the car for a while or reset the computer the fuel trims would be way off for no obvious reason.
You're correct to a point, the short term trims will correct as soon as the car is started and run, and the long term trims only take a day or so to correct. Yes, if you remove it and have it towed to a dealership, they would see the trims are off, however if you remove it and drive it for a day or so, the trims should be back down to something close to "normal"
It definitely works, we have many, many customers who have tried this first hand and are very happy with the results. RaceChip globally has sold something like 100,000 units. If it was just a trick, they wouldn't have been successful to this degree.
The new K5 has the new Smartstream 1.6T in the base model, and the new 2.5T motor in the GT. RaceChip work hard to launch chips to suit the newer engines as soon as possible, but as it stands there isn't a chip to support them yet. There will be soon/eventually.
Anything that runs the engine harder will, to some degree, reduce the lifespan of the motor. If you keep on top of servicing, especially if you do the mid-interval 5,000km service, then your motor should be perfectly fine for years to come!
RaceChip offer an engine warranty for their chips, we've never heard of a car with a blown motor from a Racechip. I would welcome you to share something with us to this effect.
@@CherryTuningPerformance I'm part of countless groups and users have reported blown turbos and motors. Using a chip like this is putting a huge strain on your motor because its altering the limits of the ECU and reporting dangerous values. ECU tunes do not do this
@@CherryTuningPerformance So you just straight up ignore the multiple examples of people blowing their engines and or Turbo's using this chip? Scammer logic right there.
BEWARE: This company and race chip will not honor anything if you blow up your motor. They are selling to folks desperate to do something to their cars , akin to drugs use or opioid, this is exactly similar to a car. Just come out of this foolish and costly addiction, ask for a manufacturer approved ECU tune if available. For example while it was a rip off, got the Polestar upgrade for $700 (50% discounted by a dealer in Michigan) for my XC90, that in real world had some relevant and nice difference to the driving and shifting characteristics of the car along with increased power. FE was not impacted good or bad.
There are always risks and downsides to installing any modification to your car. If you're concerned about your warranty, you're best to speak with your manufacturer regarding said modifications and perhaps leave your car stock. Not everyone is as concerned, and most people are happy to take the Chip off for a trip to the dealership and risk being found out. That's the risk every owner takes and generally people are happy to do it. We aren't tricking or deceiving anyone. If anyone asks, we will always tell people that if Hyundai/Kia found out about the chip, the drivetrain warranty would be made void.
@@CherryTuningPerformance and therein lies the rub. You say you aren't tricking or deceiving anyone, yet you are omitting data on your website that any Kia or Hyundai owner needs to be made aware of prior to installing i.e. bye bye engine and probably transmission warranty if you blow your engine up or are caught by the dealer. Another 25kw at the engine isn't worth losing a 7 year warranty over and making your car unsellable on the used market, unless the owner in turn fails to disclose this fact to the chump that buys the vehicle from them. The ethical thing to do is at least state on your website that all Racechip products will void your engine warranty upon install and let owners make an informed decision, rather than throwing the responsibility onto the customer to ask you.
Kurt, we could easily put a blanket warning across our whole website that states that any modification will void some part of the vehicles warranty. Hyundai and Kia both state on their respective websites that modifications to their vehicles are allowed, however the warranty of any parts directly changed or affected by any installed modifications has it's warranty made void. This would mean that any and all changes made to a car affect the warranty in some way or another. Anyone who is that concerned about their warranty isn't going to be modifying their car in the first instance, in which case they would have no need for a company like ours.
@@CherryTuningPerformance "Anyone who is that concerned about their warranty isn't going to be modifying their car in the first instance, in which case they would have no need for a company like ours." Disagree again. There is a substantial difference in warranty impact and risk between let's say, tinting windows, installing LED bulbs, doing a res delete, even installing a cat back exhaust versus installing one of these. You can offer aftermarket parts but the warranty impact of some versus others really needs to be made clear to the customer. You are essentially throwing your hands in the air and are saying 'caveat emptor' - which I get on a LED bulb - on a flash tune that is a totally different story as the warranty impacts are radically different in size and scope.
@@kurts9085 as mentioned, Kia and Hyundai warranty is pretty clear cut on their respective websites, stating that any parts installed on the car will void anything that is directly affected by the installed parts. This means that there are warranty impacts of any and all parts installed aftermarket parts installed on a car. All of them will theoretically affect the warranty in some way. Even installing LED headlights could be argued to affect your wiring loom warranty, or electronic system warranty. Yes, installing an interceptor chip (which is different to a reflash tune), does modify sensor data to the ECU and hence will make the warranty void on the ECU and subsequently the whole drivetrain, but that's assuming that the dealership knows that it's been installed. Like a lot of modifications that affect major parts of the warranty, the majority of people will remove them and play dumb to the dealer regarding them being installed in the first place. We are neither advocating nor approving of this approach and will actually recommend reflash tuning a car if asked for our opinion. You'll generally get much better and safer results from retuning the computer instead of spoofing sensor data, but these kinds of tunes aren't removable, so people don't bother. But... we appreciate your point and your opinion, we aren't going out of our way to advertise that these parts will affect engine warranty any more than we are trying to hide the fact. Perhaps, for concerned consumers such as yourself, we should put a note on our product page stating that warranty implications of installing modifications, such as an interceptor chip.
To our knowledge the Corolla is not a turbocharged motor, and the RaceChip works by modifying the boost values. Without a turbocharger, the RaceChip will not work. Sorry!

It doesn't change the performance, it's for safety, to give the car a chance to correct the fuel trims for the extra boost.
Does the vehicle have to be turbo for this to work?
Yes, the RaceChip works as a boost control device. It needs a turbo to work.

@@isaacthompson2260 yes and you should know it....plus 19" wheels to make it worst!!
1.6 no turbo??
Is this gona work with Kia Forte 2.0 na engine thank you
No, these are a boost controller, your car doesn't have a turbo to make any boost to control.
Focus on intake and exhaust mods for the most gain from a non-turbo car.
Would this work on a 2014 Kia Cadenza?
with which motor?
Doesn't this void your warranty?
Im pretty sure it would void your warranty.
@@KC-bj6cp per my comment below to this business, this is highly likely. It's asymmetric risk - lose your 7 year warranty over 20kw. No thanks.
He's like just remove the race chip and there's no left over evidence it was ever there but earlier also said it uses short and long term fuel trim to trick the engine into making more power. So unless you ran the car for a while or reset the computer the fuel trims would be way off for no obvious reason.
You're correct to a point, the short term trims will correct as soon as the car is started and run, and the long term trims only take a day or so to correct. Yes, if you remove it and have it towed to a dealership, they would see the trims are off, however if you remove it and drive it for a day or so, the trims should be back down to something close to "normal"
I need me one of those
What does it really work that’s a question it was it just a trick to make money
It definitely works, we have many, many customers who have tried this first hand and are very happy with the results. RaceChip globally has sold something like 100,000 units. If it was just a trick, they wouldn't have been successful to this degree.
Will this work on the new K5?
The new K5 has the new Smartstream 1.6T in the base model, and the new 2.5T motor in the GT.
RaceChip work hard to launch chips to suit the newer engines as soon as possible, but as it stands there isn't a chip to support them yet.
There will be soon/eventually.
Do you guys actually think this is safe? As in it wouldn’t decrease the lifespan of your engine?
Anything that runs the engine harder will, to some degree, reduce the lifespan of the motor.
If you keep on top of servicing, especially if you do the mid-interval 5,000km service, then your motor should be perfectly fine for years to come!
No that’s
Countless blown motors from these piggyback tunes. Please do not install this on your car! Get a proper ECU tune
RaceChip offer an engine warranty for their chips, we've never heard of a car with a blown motor from a Racechip. I would welcome you to share something with us to this effect.
@@CherryTuningPerformance I'm part of countless groups and users have reported blown turbos and motors. Using a chip like this is putting a huge strain on your motor because its altering the limits of the ECU and reporting dangerous values. ECU tunes do not do this
@@CherryTuningPerformance So you just straight up ignore the multiple examples of people blowing their engines and or Turbo's using this chip? Scammer logic right there.
@@official_commanderhale965 where's the evidence that it is?
@@mharro88 the people with blown up engines from using the tune?🤣
BEWARE: This company and race chip will not honor anything if you blow up your motor. They are selling to folks desperate to do something to their cars , akin to drugs use or opioid, this is exactly similar to a car. Just come out of this foolish and costly addiction, ask for a manufacturer approved ECU tune if available. For example while it was a rip off, got the Polestar upgrade for $700 (50% discounted by a dealer in Michigan) for my XC90, that in real world had some relevant and nice difference to the driving and shifting characteristics of the car along with increased power. FE was not impacted good or bad.
Bull Shit !!! The Tuner must download your car MAP and then optimizem it by writing New MAP!!!
You realise these are vechile specific from RC? they aren't just a universal product..
Nice product. Bye bye engine warranty in the process so no thanks.
There are always risks and downsides to installing any modification to your car. If you're concerned about your warranty, you're best to speak with your manufacturer regarding said modifications and perhaps leave your car stock.
Not everyone is as concerned, and most people are happy to take the Chip off for a trip to the dealership and risk being found out. That's the risk every owner takes and generally people are happy to do it. We aren't tricking or deceiving anyone. If anyone asks, we will always tell people that if Hyundai/Kia found out about the chip, the drivetrain warranty would be made void.
@@CherryTuningPerformance and therein lies the rub. You say you aren't tricking or deceiving anyone, yet you are omitting data on your website that any Kia or Hyundai owner needs to be made aware of prior to installing i.e. bye bye engine and probably transmission warranty if you blow your engine up or are caught by the dealer.
Another 25kw at the engine isn't worth losing a 7 year warranty over and making your car unsellable on the used market, unless the owner in turn fails to disclose this fact to the chump that buys the vehicle from them.
The ethical thing to do is at least state on your website that all Racechip products will void your engine warranty upon install and let owners make an informed decision, rather than throwing the responsibility onto the customer to ask you.
Kurt, we could easily put a blanket warning across our whole website that states that any modification will void some part of the vehicles warranty. Hyundai and Kia both state on their respective websites that modifications to their vehicles are allowed, however the warranty of any parts directly changed or affected by any installed modifications has it's warranty made void. This would mean that any and all changes made to a car affect the warranty in some way or another. Anyone who is that concerned about their warranty isn't going to be modifying their car in the first instance, in which case they would have no need for a company like ours.
@@CherryTuningPerformance "Anyone who is that concerned about their warranty isn't going to be modifying their car in the first instance, in which case they would have no need for a company like ours."
Disagree again. There is a substantial difference in warranty impact and risk between let's say, tinting windows, installing LED bulbs, doing a res delete, even installing a cat back exhaust versus installing one of these. You can offer aftermarket parts but the warranty impact of some versus others really needs to be made clear to the customer. You are essentially throwing your hands in the air and are saying 'caveat emptor' - which I get on a LED bulb - on a flash tune that is a totally different story as the warranty impacts are radically different in size and scope.
@@kurts9085 as mentioned, Kia and Hyundai warranty is pretty clear cut on their respective websites, stating that any parts installed on the car will void anything that is directly affected by the installed parts. This means that there are warranty impacts of any and all parts installed aftermarket parts installed on a car. All of them will theoretically affect the warranty in some way. Even installing LED headlights could be argued to affect your wiring loom warranty, or electronic system warranty. Yes, installing an interceptor chip (which is different to a reflash tune), does modify sensor data to the ECU and hence will make the warranty void on the ECU and subsequently the whole drivetrain, but that's assuming that the dealership knows that it's been installed. Like a lot of modifications that affect major parts of the warranty, the majority of people will remove them and play dumb to the dealer regarding them being installed in the first place. We are neither advocating nor approving of this approach and will actually recommend reflash tuning a car if asked for our opinion. You'll generally get much better and safer results from retuning the computer instead of spoofing sensor data, but these kinds of tunes aren't removable, so people don't bother.
But... we appreciate your point and your opinion, we aren't going out of our way to advertise that these parts will affect engine warranty any more than we are trying to hide the fact. Perhaps, for concerned consumers such as yourself, we should put a note on our product page stating that warranty implications of installing modifications, such as an interceptor chip.
They don't work..
Waste of money
No before or after so pointless not having my money
Ok guy
Does this work on the 2021 (new shape) Hyundai Tucson 1.6?
My kia seltos has the same engine. Will this kit work it?
Does this work on the 1.6t hybrid models As well?
Will it work on a k5?
Can it work on a Toyota corolla cross cvt transmission will respond
To our knowledge the Corolla is not a turbocharged motor, and the RaceChip works by modifying the boost values. Without a turbocharger, the RaceChip will not work. Sorry!
Ok to use on 1.6 kia optima?
Is this available for a 2021 Kia Forte5 GT?
Does it have to be a turbo engine?
Will this work on a 2015 velastor turbo GDI
Yes, there is an option for the Veloster Turbo on our site
Can it work on a 2008 Kia rondo
The diesel model, possibly. There isn't any RaceChip to suit non-turbo engines.
