I just bought an oil catch can im going to install it tomorrow. I also recently installed a aem cold air intake and a blow off valve on my 2016 kia optima sx turbo 2.0. I have to travel to California on Friday so I might take off my blow off valve tomorrow just to be on the safe side.
Love what you've done to the car bro. I have a quick question I had the exact car and I want to buy an intake but I'm not sure now since all the reviews I've seen. Any tips on what intake I should get for my sx. And has ur car's check engine light turned on since u installed ur intake?
Honestly i kinda just got it for the noise. Doesn’t really add much power. If you just want it for noise then yea get the same one i have. And no check engine lights
The catch can on the right is doing absolutely nothing. You put it on the breather that already draws filtered air from the duct. lol And that's not even the intake manifold. That's the cylinder head cover.
Hey bro I need your help! I’m looking at a 2012 Kia Optima SX and I heard that they can have problems. What Years is your Optima, how many miles, have you had any problems???
Nathaniel Wojcik mine had 120k when i traded it in. And only problem i had was engine blowing up lmao blew it three times. But kia covered them all because it falls under their recall they have. Look up on google “kia engine recall” over 1 million cars were affected i believe. So you basically have unlimited warranty on the engine
What do you recommend doing with an optima to make it look decen. Talking body wise. I just got an optima 2015. Idk if I should add on an exhaust or what to do to make it loud. Any advice?
I just kept mine quiet lol but you can always put a different muffler on take the muffler completely off. It's really your preference if you have a NA engine use a muffler if you have a turbo screw the muffler.
You traded in your Optima ? The BMW is what you traded for ? If so, congrats Bro, looking forward to the new videos of the BMW, you know that they say BMW - mean ( Bring Money With you ) because there expensive to fix ! 😂
@@LuisGee I agree, when my engine blew, I was upset, but also relief knowing that I'd get a new one. Therefore I'll do some upgrades sell for a profit ! Already looking an soon I'll be in a better engine that I can get more hp. Thanks again for all the post. Geturdone !
@@FDP5050 i replaced the engine 3 times in my kia lol and i like perfomance mods so i got rid of it to mod something i knew had a less chance of blowing up
@@LuisGee Yeah - I can understand why - Now I'ma look for a V8 that hasn't been raced with low miles. But those can be hard to find an expensive. Will wait the the final of the BMW project. Nice Bro !
I hooked up one catch can on the driver side, the same place you have yours on that side. and ever since then my kia optima has made a horrible farting noise sounding like its coming from the intake or turbo when ever I do a pull or get on the turbo. What would you think the problem is?
Casey Ward is their a way you can get a video of the sound. Just upload it on youtube so i can see it. Only noise i can think of is when you hear the turbo backfire but thats only when you floor it and get like no traction or when i rev it.
@@LuisGee Yes I'll make a video tonight and upload it. I recently unhooked the recirculated blow off valve and the noise completely went away. (I had it venting to the atmosphere, and the intake plugged up). So I'm wondering if it has a bad bov boost pressure solenoid valve. (Part number: 39400-2c300) ebay has them for 30 bucks. But I'm not completely sure. Ill upload a video and tag the link in this comment thread.
You can probably do the same mods but you wouldn’t get the same power outcome because i believe the optima s doesn’t come with the 2.0 turbo like the sx and sxl
I Have A 2012 Kia Optima Ex 2.0T And I Can Tell U Now U Might Want To Take That Bov Off. Our Car Already Comes With A Diverter Valve Adding A Bov On Top Of that Will Mess Up Your Cars Air-Fuel Ratio Causing Loss Of Power, The Car Will Run Rich And U Will Have Worse Milage
And Since Its New Like U Said U Won’t See Any changes in your air to fuel ratio on your phone gage But overtime u will Tbh it adds no extra performance just dumping out access air which u actually need if u want a faster response from the turbo
I doubt any of these mods actually achieve any real gains. The tuner plug in likely just changes curve but doesn't really increase power. The stock optima turbo is pretty quick to begin with. At best these mods change power band slightly with no actual gain. In the end this approach decreases linear power and creates placebo effect with a sudden but shorter power band.
James Jones the tune itself did add power. So saying its placebo is wrong. I ran the car stock at the 1/4mile and ran high 15’s all day. And than i tuned it with a btr ecu tune and ran a 13.5. So i have physically experienced that the tune did actually give me more power.

Vote for Pedro ! Nice ride brother
Hey I'm looking for some people/group of people who can show me some stuff to upgrade/show me what the have for ideas
kia optima k5 owners Facebook group or k5 optima nation Facebook group
You should hook up a boost gauge via vacuum line. You'll get true psi reading.

120k doing good, isn't wastegate voltage supposed to be around 4.1v?
Hola cómo estás. Una pregunta esa trampa la pusiste sin la psv o con la psv????
lmao i had the same idea on the transmission cooler.. i was gonna add transmission and coolant cooler (pipes on throttle body)
Dis foo all about that “Meth” life @7:22 😂😂😂
Man clean that motor up!
Philip Pulvermacher car is sold lol doesn’t even matter anymore
how long did your btr tune take to come in..? i just got mine
Nas D-etti took mine around a month to get it
ohh damn 😭😂
Nas D-etti yea lol i ordered it on black friday. Maybe thats why it took a while
Missing cover on your dash to connect a big ass plug connected to an IPhone stuck to your windshield looks better than a gauge stack? Really?

Christopher Scott everyone else has it set up the same 🤷🏻♂️ plus it kinda requirement to do when you tune these cars
@@LuisGee How many times have you emptied that can?
Christopher Scott every week

@@LuisGee did u have to uninstall any of ur mods to get the engine warrantied ?
@@giuseppeaguilar5722 i just removed the tune and the spark plugs. I left everything else

What exactly did u get to add turbo to youre car ? I have a Kia Optima with no turbo
Some kia optima’s come turbo’d from factory. Sx & sxl trim levels are the ones that have a turbo already.
You traded in your Optima ?
The BMW is what you traded for ?
If so, congrats Bro, looking forward to the new videos of the BMW, you know that they say BMW - mean ( Bring Money With you ) because there expensive to fix !
😂
Yea i traded it in. And yea i got the bmw now. So far it’s been more reliable than the Kia to be honest.

What type of oil do you put in your car and how often?
5w40 and every 3,000 miles
I have a 2015 optima ex. Any specific intake ?

Is a new catch can for optima, makes the job of 2, cost 244$
What new upgrades have you completed recently ?
I no longer own the car. I traded it in
@@LuisGee If at all possible - please leave the videos up.
Currently upgrading my 2013
An just replaced the Engine, now it's upgrades !
Thanks Bro
Your waste gate voltage is too high. It should be around 4.1 volts upon cold start up.
I no longer have the car.
could i do the same build with optima S
You can probably do the same mods but you wouldn’t get the same power outcome because i believe the optima s doesn’t come with the 2.0 turbo like the sx and sxl

Can i pit a turbo on my Sx 2.4L
You can but it’s not worth it in my opinion. Just sell it and buy a 2.0t

dude just buy some good tires like Michelins and go to the track, no need to waste time on an auto untunable theta engine
7:21 so you want to do meth? Man don't do it. Let your car hit it first Lmfaooooo
question
randolph leesang yea?
Drag racing a Kia? Your generation is lost! There's no hope for America 😂🤣
you’d shit yourself seeing my tuned automatic Cruze lmao
Luisgee mechanic?
