After 2014 KIA K3 Coup Turbo released in the end of 2013, it is likely to be the hot icon to Korean young generation. K3 coup has nice looking body with 200 horse power turbo engine.
For better sound, the owner of the car in this post has decided to add blow off valve under the hood and Brake kit for better performance. PartsKor visited the tuning garage to see how they work.
Before we watch the tuning work, I like to mention that how much this car (K3) is fun. Not only K3's (Cerato, Forte) compact body, fast transmission and 200 horse power engine are the things you need to pay attention. The most important aspect of this car is it's light weight body. See this video
Comparison with
- 2013 Mustang V6 3.7 (Left lane) *spec: 309 hp
- 2005 Saab 2.0 turbo *Spec (Mid lane) : Chip tune 250 hp
- 2014 KIA K3 Coup 1.6 turbo (right lane) *Spec:204 hp
This is rolling test from 80km/h~ 200km. At the beginning of the tunnel, KIA K3 took up the running leaving Saab behind..but after 160km/h Saab is getting push K3 back..KIA K3 made a good fight of it considering the it's small engine (1.6 liter).
However, K3 can be faster than this with ECU mapping. (It will be released soon).
Back to the tuning garage, this white pearl, just only 10,000 km mileage car visited the tuning garage.
This is the one the owner want to add to the intake line..
Just for information, this tuning garage has developed Turbo installing kit for KIA K3 sedan (non turbo car, NA engine) which can achieve 200 horse power at front wheel. Price? only about 3000 USD. I strongly believe this payment is worthy for the owner of K3 sedan.
