I'm far from an expert but I think you definitely need an oil catch can. I put in a jb4 and spark plugs and after only about five hundred miles I had about a half ounce of dirty liquid in my catch can. I just know a lot of people recommended one with any piggyback or tune.
An oil catch can is good, but not needed. These cars don't put out enough power. It's a supporting mod for people who are going to eventually go bigger. Just like the HKS plugs are unneeded with JB4 or any other piggy back. I thought the plugs helped, but they fouled up in 10k miles, and caused my motor to throw a code p2097. I argued against colder plugs being a bad idea on just piggy back setups, but I listened to the masses and it was a bad idea.
@@cadbane1980 I don't have a lot of experience I just put my jb4 in like 2 weeks ago and I bought the HKS plugs and GAP them down to like 22-24. So far I've been lucky and all my logs look pretty good. I can run map3 on 93 only and just did a 6.15 0-60 on the dragy. The only thing I have besides plugs and catch can is an after-market k&M high performance air filter that just goes into my stock box. I just couldn't believe after taking an out-of-town trip and some local DrivIng how much dirty liquid was in that
Looking at a 2022 Forte GT 6 speed manual right now. Has 11k miles and is going for just under $21k. Seriously considering trading in my 16’ ram 1500. Most people I’m asking bout Kia’s however all say it’s gunna suck yadayadayada. But the more I research the more I like bout this car.
Kia is easily as reliable as Chrysler. Neither one have Toyota level reliability reputations, but Kias aren't trash like they used to be. GDI engines require a bit more maintenance than standard port injection, and carbon can cause huge problems.
@@cadbane1980 thanks for the response. In terms of GDI maintenance what should I be expecting? More frequent oil changes? Replacing fuel injectors more often? Spark plug replacement?
@@cadbane1980 thanks for the response. Is this something the dealership will do? Just bought a 2022 forte gt will 11.7k miles on it a couple of days ago.
@@stevenspring9889 not sure the model, but it's the Injen intake for the 1.6t Gamma. I think it's technically for the Veloster, but it direct fits the Forte.
Hi. Would you recommend racechip? Did it deliver what you expected? I've read a lot of back and forth reactions about it all over the internet. In some other video you mentioned that you plan dyno test it. Would be nice to try that and see what each of mod (off, eco, sport, race) adds. Or have you done it already?
Still no dyno, just like no recent uploads. I've just been very busy with work and family. Yes though, I would recommend the racechip GTS. It works with supporting mods. People who just slap it on with no supporting mods and 87 octane won't get any real gains. I have heard JB4 is better, but I am just waiting until my warranty is up before I change anything around. I think the Racechip is a blast, but the best upgraded for this car have been suspension... It's a light little whip, and fun in corners
@@davidcoatessr4597 Because it's a Forte GT, and not an expensive, high-end car, I didn't see any actual benefit to coil overs vs springs. Coil overs are better, but are they 5xs the price better? The springs in conjunction with the rest of the suspension upgrades make the car handle great imo, especially for a daily.
I just picked up a 2024 and was thinking of doing some small mods like this, my question is did any of these mods void any factory warranties on the vehicle?
@@cadbane1980 nice I’m about to buy the panda motoworks bundle with the race chip and stage 2 intake. I have the 2022 forte and haven’t done any mods yet other than sound system
It's the cheapskate route to vent to atmosphere. It does nothing but make noise. It would be better to get a good BOV, but it's just a Kia, not super high performance. I just did it for fun, and it sounds awesome.
Take your plastic cover off of the engine! Those are notoriously bad for holding in engine heat. If you pop it off and look at the underside of the cover, you’ll see that it’s insulated. Bad for running your engine hard since it’ll contribute to heat soak. Take it off. It’s only for show and causes your engine block to heat up faster.
Maybe the Racechip, if they can somehow trace it. It's piggy back and would be hard to tell that it was even in there. Everything else "should not" void the warranty. However, I hear that Hyundai/Kia are asses with honoring their warranties to begin with.
Tork... I know people say either good or bad about them. In my experience their quality and customer service have always been good. I'm very happy with the downpipe.
Could I do just the downpipe and racechip and nothing else? Would it still give a good boost in power or do i need the cold air intake. I feel like if I avoided the air intake it would be impossible to tell if the car was modified (saving warranty)
That GTS voids the crap out of the engine warranty and potentially the tyranny too. BTW I have a 2023 GT with GT2 package. I run a GTS set on 7 daily with 93 octane. No issues after 11000 miles of use... knock on wood .
