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.

Magic of ECU tune (Hyundai Sonata Turbo & KIA Optima Turbo)

Magic of ECU mapping (Hyundai Sonata Turbo & KIA Optima Turbo)

It's a magic. 
Just after 10 minuets of installation and pay for the work, and you will be astonished with the change of your Hyundai or KIA.

Generally speaking, Hyundai & KIA represent typical type of family sedan here in Korea. No more value than just boring family cars..that has been the reputation of these 2 car makers for about the past 10 years.

Recently, some of the owners of Hyundai Sonata and Optima started comparing their family sedan to BMW sports sedans even to BMW M3, Mercedes Benz C63 AMG. Hahaha..many people laugh about them.

Comparing Hyundai family sedan to BMW sports sedan, is it really ridiculous? or meaningless? Yes, there's still big performance gab between them.

But, what if the ecu in Sonata is remapped by tuner? What will happen? Here is the answer for the question.

1.Sonata acceleration 
(304 horse power-real wheel power. 40kg.m : only with ECU mapping)


Fast? It may difficult to realize how much it quicken after ECU mapping by this video.
Let's compare with stock car.



2.Sonata ECU tune VS Nissan G37 vs BMW E46 M3


1 lane : G37 (white)
2 lane : Sonata (ECU tune) - Black car
3 lane : BMW M3 (ECU tune + Sports Exhaust)

3.For better performance
 K5 (KIA Optima) with,
 - Turbo upgrade
 - ECU mapped
 - Intercooler
 - Sports Exhaust
 - 420 horse power 50kg.m (torque) at the front wheels
 *Acceleration video



If I say that this KIA Optima is faster than BMW E92 M3 and Mercedes C63 AMG, would you believe it? Amazingly, there's no reinforcement to auto transmission.

KIA Optima (380HP) vs BMW 1M(400HP tuned)
CL63 AMG (camera car)


1 lane : KIA Optima (turbine upgrade. 380 hp)
3 lane : BMW 1 M (Chip tune. 400 hp)



ECU mapping technology of Hyundai Sonata & KIA Optima is still in the early stage. I think , over time, new version of ECU tune data will be released soon with a slightly higher power and high stability.

Race : Genesis coupe vs BMW 1M vs Nissan G35

Hi~ Partskor friends

We had a acceleration test a few days ago with Hyundai Genesis, Nissan G35 and BMW 1M.

1.Hyundai Genesis coupe
  - Stock (auto transmission)

2.Nissan G35
  - Modified exhaust
  - Auto

3.BMW 1M
  - Stock
  - Manual transmission

1 Round : Genesis coupe vs Nissan G35 (Camera car)





2 Round : Hyundai Genesis coupe VS BMW 1M
  Camera car : G35

BMW 1M is a lot faster. She got ahead from the beginning and increased the distance from Genesis coupe. But I am proud that Genesis coupe made a good fight of it!

Partskor Race : Hyundai Veloster 1.6 VS Genesis coupe 2.0

Race : Hyundai Veloster 1.6 VS Genesis coupe 2.0

Can Hyundai Veloster with chip tune beat Genesis coupe 2.0 stock?
For today's race, we had to choose the safe road. YongIn-Seoul highway has less traffic even in day time and stretched 3 kilometers. So we can go to top speed of the car safely here.

Surrounding landscape. You can get around here..:D

2012.12.22 | Want to see big map? ©  NHN Corp.

  



Today's race car, Hyundai Veloster has more than 250 horse power (chip tuned). You can find the information of this Veloster here.

  - Chip tuned (mapped)
  - Big intercoller (FMIC)
  - PICO variable exhaust
  - Brake upgrade
  - Anti sway bar


And Hyundai Genesis coupe is stock, 270 horse power engine matched with 8 speed transmission. Who will be the winner?

*Camera car : Hyundai Veloster

Veloster would be no match for Hyundai Genesis. The performance difference is bigger than we thought. What seems to be the main reason for this performance gab despite almost equivalent power?

That must be transmission I guess. Hyundai new genesis's 8 speed trans mission support the faster gear shifting than Veloster's manual gear does. However, genesis has much better acceleration than Veloster.

PartsKor Race : Golf GTI Stage3 VS KIA Optima

PartsKor Race : Golf GTI Stage3 VS KIA Optima

Golf GTI has been the King of the road among the front-wheel-drive-vehicles here in Korea. Solid body, 2.0 liter turbo engine, easy chip tuning were the elements that made GTI more strong.

Here let me introduce the strong. REVO intake system. Remuse exhaust. K04 turbine kit. This GTI spurt 300~320 HP from the engine.

- REVO stage 3 ECU.
- REVO TUC stage 2
- Forge intake system
- Methanol injection
- Reinforced DSG transmission

KIA Optima is new comer, which has 2.0 liter turbo engine (270 HP).

 - ECU tune stage 1 (about 300HP) - no hardware change
 - Mando brake system (Hyundai Genuine parts)

Course : Let's chase these two cars, today's race was done on this Road

Great! No serious difference between 2 cars. It's amazing that KIA 2.0 liter sedan can chase the GTI tuned. Of course, if this race took place on the winding road, KIA Optima would look the back GTI throughout the race. But on the straight road, GTI is not able to take KIA Optima lightly.
