[rivieraman71]

getting ready to but a koup in a few months. which engine would you recomend turboing? the 2 liter has lower compression so that seems like a good choice.

[TurboKitscom]

@rivieraman71 - Do you plan on turboing it?

[traviscallen]

Any plans on making the turbo C.A.R.B Legal?

[TurboKitscom]

@traviscallen - No sir, way too much red tape unless you are a huge manufacturer.

[traviscallen]

@TurboKitscom - Please?

[MJBruno180]

[codybb]

Do you need a aftermarket pipe for the turbo I want my car to be quite as possible

[TurboKitscom]

@codybb - No sir you can run the kit on the stock exhaust. It will limit power, but if you want it stealthy quiet, then you can :)

[codybb]

@TurboKitscom Alright sweet thanks for the response ill be getting my forte sx after Basic training and ill get the turbo kit as well..its going to be a beast :P

[TurboKitscom]

@codybb Definitely a beast! Good luck in basic and let us know when you are ready. We normally keep the parts in stock.

[DragonInfraXtremeRGT]

@TurboKitscom would this turbo charger work with the sxr exhaust

[TurboKitscom]

@DragonInfraXtremeRGT Yes sir, I would suggest you go larger from the turbo back, but if you only have the SXR axle back, it will still work. Your gains will be limited by the stock mid pipe tho.

[jrxavierz]

nice,sounds awesome cool.

[utctuning1]

i love this exhaust to death, ive installed it thursday of fall break. every gear change you get back fire and then one loud back fire at the end usualy. it sounds so much better in real life. although it really seems to bog its self down in 4-6 gears :( oh well the hp gain is worth it

[TurboKitscom]

@utctuning1 - Nice, glad you are happy, try rolling onto the throttle instead of flooring it in 4th, 5th, 6th, I bet you'll get some of that pep back. If you want more power in 4th+, the turbo kit we developed will cure that problem :)

[viktord1]

is this car chipped? pretty amazing to see a gain without a chip tune

[TurboKitscom]

@viktord1 - No chip, just bolt and go. This was with low miles on the car. I am certain the gains would be much higher on a car with 5000 - 10000 miles.

[bullsjewells24]

how easy is the turbo kit install, if i wanted to do it myself?

[TurboKitscom]

@bullsjewells24 - It's all bolt on, not welding or anything, but it does take time and some general turbo & car knowledge.

[Djxcut25419]

Will you be planning to make anything for the sedan models as well because ive been looking everywhere and cant find a thing

[TurboKitscom]

@Djxcut25419 - We have a version of all of our parts for the Sedan, hit up sales@ turbokits . com and they can get the ball rolling for you :)

What you need to realize is that KIA is owned by Hyundai and share the same parts and technology. You've seen how far Hyundai has come recently and is closing on Honda and Toyota. KIA is right behind them and moving fast as well.

[TurboKitscom]

@26marbay - Intake, Cat Back Exhaust don't normally void a warranty, you should contact your service manager and talk to them about your plans. You'd be surprised...

[APBGrrl]

sweet color

[ballucanb1]

Was that kia that beat and smoking or was it the oil burning off the new parts.

[TurboKitscom]

@ballucanb1 - That is the first DYNO after we finished welding the piping, that is still all of the bending grease and crap burning off the exhaust. The car had about 600 miles on it when we did the DYNO!

[ballucanb1]

@TurboKitscom That makes sense, I was watching the blue smoke and it seems to lessen as you did more runs.

I thought someone beat the snot out of it before you did the turbo and killed the engine.

I don't have much faith in Kia, I like to be able to resell anything i buy so I buy Honda.

[jagundai]

When can we expect to see the Turbo kits out for the Fortes ?

[TurboKitscom]

@jagundai - Very soon

[Jazzybreaks]

this is nice man... major pros to you for taking the leap and tuning these kia's.

also is that the 2.0 or 2.4?? or do the parts fit both?

[TurboKitscom]

@Jazzybreaks - Thanks :)

We have options for both the 2.0L, 2.4L, M/T, A/T, Koup, Sedan... Etc

[ThaBR33D]

I've heard that kia has a pretty crappy manual transmission, what's your opinion?

[TurboKitscom]

@ThaBR33D - The 6MT on our turbo project Koup has handled the 100+ additional HP and TQ for over 4000 miles without a glitch. That is still on the stock clutch, flywheel, etc...

[sexyboi142]

man kia should've stuck with the 290hp turboed 4banger with AWD from the concept version

[thedefinitive]

i've been looking at getting a forte koup, so i'm definitely interested now lol. that one was in my favorite color too

[TurboKitscom]

@thedefinitive - Nice, keep an eye out for all of the great TurboKits . com products for the Forte :)

[killacitybaby]

@TurboKitscom i have the kia forte koup sx. is there anything like that i can get for it? its my first car.. and i want it to be intimidating ^-^

[TurboKitscom]

@killacitybaby - We have a CAI, CAT Pipe, High Flow CAT, CAT Back Exhaust, Carbon Fiber Hood and are Developing a Turbo Kit. Please check out our website for more details :)

[TurboKitscom]

@blanknamehotmail - No sir, we did multiple back to back runs on the DYNO all at the same gain 15+ WHP and 13+ Ft Lbs at the Wheels :)

[CrodriguezC01]

How much whp have and tq?

[TurboKitscom]

@CrodriguezC01 - 15WHP & 13 FT Lbs from just the CAI, Exhaust & CAT Pipe.Mid range gains were close to 20 WHP & 20 Ft Lbs. That was on a bone stock 2.4L with only 700 miles. AS the motor continues to break in. We are sure the gains will be higher. You can see the full DYNO chart on our website. Thx

[jerseyflows]

Are you guys going to be posting a vid of the 3' exhuast?

[TurboKitscom]

@jerseyflows - Yes, once the Turbo Kit is developed we will up the diameter to 3" and see what the gains are :)

[jerseyflows]

from yours guys experiance, does it seem to have the power to keep up with other 2.4l engines such as the srt-4?

[TurboKitscom]

@jerseyflows - The SRT-4 is turbo from the factory, the Forte is not. So factory stock to factory stock the SRT-4 will be faster. However, once we add the TurboKits . com Turbo Kit, look out :) !

[boyboydubdub]

nice.. is that a 22b up top?

[disracenboi336]

1:26 V-TEC kick.

[PhilippineMango]

What's the diameter of the HIgh-flow CAT?

[TurboKitscom]

2.5" w/ High Flow Spiral Core CAT. Once we release our Turbo Kit, we will have a full 3" back exhaust as well.

[sikotic91]

Will you guys be making a header to go along with the rest of the exhaust? I'm curious how the intake and exhaust looks.

[TurboKitscom]

The stock header is well built, 4 into 1 and looks to be equal length. We don't see much gains to be had there. We will be updating our site and our progress post on forte forums shortly with pictures of the prototype units... Thanks for your interest!

[rontonkinkia]

That sounds great!! Good job! Much better than some others I have seen on here.

[TurboKitscom]

Thanks :)

We took extra time to get the sound just right and we did it without sacrificing any power!

[rontonkinkia]

The sound is awesome. Can't wait to see some numbers with the Turbo... :)

[colejjones]

@rontonkinkia at least port it to see what is to be had

[rontonkinkia]

Play with the fuel map, maybe figure out how to release the limit they put on it in 1st gear...

[chanman186]

@rontonkinkia see man i cant find any videos of stock exhaust or anything
