KIA Optima turbo 420HP 50kg.m turbine upgrade car

KIA Optima turbo 420HP 50kg.m turbine upgrade car



Hi it's still very cold here in Korea. My previous post : "Magic of ECU tune" was very popular among KIA & Hyundai fans. Here today, I am going to show you turbine-up KIA Optima turbo, it has 420 HP and 50kg.m at the front wheel.

Amazingly, this car is faster than stock BMW E92 M3 and Benz C63 AMG at the rolling test ( 60km/h ~ 260km/h acceleration test). No wonder that modified car is faster than stock luxury sports sedan, and some people may say comparison tuned car to stock car is meaningless.

But I still think these KIA optima and Hyundai Sonata (they have same engine) has something very meaningful. The cost you have to pay for additional 200 hp power( totally 420 horse power) is just about 4500~ 5000 USD ( depend on the options), if you have KIA optima turbo and live in Korea.

Tuner says, "5000usd is not that expensive price if you consider the power increase. Think about the tuning cost of BMW turbo car ( BMW Z4 35i, BMW 335i) You should pay more than 10000 usd to get additional 100 horse power. Optima and Sonata has very nice layout under the hood and it has enough rooms for additional parts. So that we can reduce the total cost for turbine upgrade." I agreed what he said.

Power graph

* Max power : 426.56 horse power

* Max torque : 50.14 kg.m

Want to see how much this car fast? 

1 lane : BMW 1M. chip tuned. sports exhaust 400HP at rear wheel

3 lane : KIA Optima turbine upgrade. 420 HP at front wheel

After long term test for 3-4 months, we have found that Hundai 6 speed auto mission ( made by Hyundai powertech) has nice durability enough to endure 50 torque. There has been no mission slip or jerking.

Performance Tune : 2012 KIA Optima stabilizer

Performance Tune : 2012 KIA Optima stabilizer


Let's take a look at stock stabilizer of 2012 KIA Optima. 2000cc turbo engine enabled Kia optima can smocks BMW 530 even MB SLK350.

Although it's remarkable engine power, there are signs of growing disaffection among it's owner's clubs. So now, what is the problem with Optima?

When it comes to engine, there is no complains at all. Optima's power is greater than expected.

But, if we talk about total balance and drivability, the owners produce wildly varing estimates for Optima. Certainly Kia optima is not a good car judged by any other standard, except it's power.

Kia optima staggered when sudden lane change, and braking power is not good enough considering it's power.

So what is required for more stable driving? Upgrade of stabilizer will be your first step with low cost. Let's take a look.
