@@dcjammer7811 cool. Is that Map 1 or Map 2? Are you RWD or AWD? I wouldn’t go for the higher Maps the first time out. Less is usually more when you are just getting started with it.
In fairness, you're glossing over the many other benefits of an ECU tune in terms of boost management, ignition timing, fuel correction, etc. There have been several people I know who have gone from a JB4 to a custom tune and been absolutely shocked at the performance difference, even if peak numbers didn't change that much. Peak power isn't as important as area under the torque curve.
You’re 100% right on the ecu side of things they definitely do provide better control of the car, the only reason i leaned towards jb4 is due to the lower chance of it being detected in case i need warranty work, i think a lot of people who bought the car probably took the warranty into consideration. But yes if warranty is no concern then ecu is usually better then a piggyback.
@@LoneStarStinger do an ecu tune if your car isnt under warranty. I have a new genesis g70 and have 4 more years of free servicing etc so i opted for the JB4. I just unplug it before it gets picked up.
Thanks for mentioning me! LOL And with a JB you CAN control issues with down pipes and secondaries using EWG cables. It's an add on but you can easily adapt the duty cycle to keep it from over boosting. 100's of guys are doing it now :)
haha thanks for helping me out on the forums a couple of times. And i wasnt aware that the ewg cables let you run primaries might have to give them a look. Also what size tires are you running? I cant seem to grip with the 255s

Good content as usual my brother. Doing big favors for the stinger community. And for sure give us a breakdown on how those sway bars are and how much better they are over stock. They're relatively inexpensive and should be useful. Don't forgot the summer tires too with the draggy vid :D
Appreciate the support bro! Sway bar video should be up in a day or two. And hopefully summer tires are ready by end of may for the 1/2 mile event in the poconos
Brilliant thorough explanation. I've got a 2018 GTS (3.3 RWD) here in the UK and there isn't any following of community of the Stinger over here. Recently installed the catless full turbo back Fi exhaust system and will be looking to upgrade the intakes, Spark plugs and add an oil catch can. Holding back on the Fmic and Bov's for now as I don't want to break the bank. when all the upgrades are done I will need an ECU tune and I'm undecided whether to go for a JB4 piggy back device or get a custom dyno tune here in the UK where the Stinger is almost non-existent. Edit: I did get a quote from a dyno place, they said even with all of the upgrades they can do a stage 1 tune which will gain me about 40bhp for £595 ($820 USD) and an additional £150 for the pops and bangs which I do want to compliment the Fi exhaust.
Agree with you JB4 is the best piggy back. Easy to switch maps, great support, great price, regular updates and more... Lozic is the best ECU/TCU/AWD tune. Removal of torque limits, launch control with boost, modify shift points, no spark plug gaping required, best overall drive, best price and more...
Very well done comparison you did. I like that you weighed the pros and cons of each system. I will be getting the JB4 pretty soon for the Genesis G80 Sport so can't hardly wait for that, definitely subbed to your channel 👍
Thanks i appreciate it! I have a draggy but im waiting to get some new tires. I already made a video of some draggy runs but i was spinning pretty bad. Once i get some new tires ill make another video to see the improvements.
The warranty thing you're kind of wrong on. Yes, you could avoid your warranty but in this country the burden is on the manufacturer or dealership to prove that whatever you did was the main cause of the issue. Don't quote me on the name and something like the Munson act which protects the consumer. Now of course they want to seem like you could void your warranty so they don't have to work on a thing now. Whether they could have you change it back to stock to do something that's a possibility. I'm not sure on the legalities of that like if there's some kind of update they have to do or some kind of change that they're doing because it was the wrong fluid they put in or whatever the issue is. Maybe that can have problems where now they need the car when it's in there stock. But it wouldn't be hard to even go against them on any of their basic claims. First off that car was built to easily handle 700 horsepower with how the engine was constructed. It was severely detuned in order to have confidence in the warranty lasting. Mine is a 10-year 125,000 bumper to bumper warranty, but again the burden would be on them to prove that you're changes specifically cause the issue now. If you don't know this act or know your rights than your screwed because you'll just take whatever they say but look it up now. This goes for America only. I don't know about Canada Australia anywhere else stingers are sold but in America we have that protection. There's actually a controller for the suspension made by the people who made disuspension for the car. I already know somebody answers. I asked the dealership. I just want to see what they understand and where they are. It helps me determine who I want working on my car. Because if they don't know certain information or they're lying, they're definitely not touching my car. Do you know of anyone that had to warranty ever voided? I don't know a single person personally . So again, do your own research. Don't just take my word for it. I am right. I know what I don't know. Now any mods you do you would always want to be able to have it go back to 100% stock so don't pierce wires always have the ability to go back to 100% stock. Cuz then you're actually altering things with most things that you do. You can say you're altering, but you're actually using what the computers capable of doing the car is capable of this. They have to detune for miles per gallon in most cases. And then you could easily use manufacturers that have special editions of cars that have more power. Well how they get that power so there's precedent set. Always look up legal definitions of words. Don't think you know what a word means. Look up what the definition is legally and then president set if there's any precedent. Like I had an issue with a car. They called on fire and they kept saying if it's due to electrical or mechanical breakdown it's not covered. Well that can mean something to you, but the legal definition of that basically says you would normally know about the issue and not do anything to stop it and continue to use the vehicle till catastrophic failure where they did not my claim originally. But once I found all that information out guess what. They reopen and gave me 33% more than the car was worth because I dared into the time again. When I'm going to the regulators next I should please deny me. I dare you. They didn't because they knew just go on UA-cam and see people that took their cars to get service done and didn't take any of their mods out. No issues
You can definitely "void" the warranty with a piggyback because it's very easy to read the history logs on an ECU when you take it to the dealer for some issue or even a routine check/oil change, since they give such a massive window of free maintenance (1yr) and coverage (10yrs). A lot of dealers also check this, with stingers and other sports cars, because they can easily deny years of warranty service claiming that you stepped out of bounds and caused the issue. This makes them more money on non-covered parts & labor and it's hard to prove that you didn't cause the issue since there's not really any way to compare it to what "would have" happened if you didn't mess with it. The bottom line is, if you want to mod the car then either don't pay extra for the warranty or wait for ten years for it to expire lol.
Wish Diablo sport or SCT would do a tuner for this car. Be nice if a Co. like Pure that does supras would do up theses turbo with new custom machined new wheels.
@@cindysue5474 theres a lot of big name tuners i wish would jump on this car. Probably not gonna happen until it sells a bit more and makes financial sense for tuners to invest it.
I read about them after i made the video sadly. Looks like they have some good stuff from some of the other people on the forums who have purchased it.
You're also glossing over the fact wardantys have been voided with a piggy back tune. For starters when a dealer sees swapped out spark plugs it's an indication a tune has been applied. 2nd, I've seen multiple posts of people having warranty work voided because the boost log shows a psi over stock. Just don't want someone to hear this video, buy a jb4 and assume it's gonna be all good
i have the jb4 and i put my primary/mid pipes. it gave me a check engine light but that was only bcuz a sensor was loose. tightened up and havent gotten a light since
Did you buy the primarys that have the sensor to fool the car? I know theres a company out there that sells one like that. Are you getting any overboost or anything with the primaries? Think j need to get them too lol
Currently researching the best tune for 2.0 Stinger. Is the Lap 3 the only one that can override the speed limiter? Live in Germany and being limited to 209Kph/130mph sucks... I'm not worried about warranty.
Picking up a 2022 Micro Blue GT1 in mid-may/june (depending on when the dealer shows up) -- looking forward to the bolt-ons, but nervous about the tune aspect. That being said, I don't think any of these products will work with the 2022 since it's tuned differently from the factory at 368 HP.
From what ive seen jb4 is supported on the new 2022 model year. Only for the 3.3 engine though, the 2.5 will most likely get it later. Might be worth it to wait a bit for any potential bugs but im pretty sure it should be fine. Honestly my favorite first mod was the sway bars so id probably look into that before the jb4.
All they did was open the exhaust up a bit is what one of the forums said.Also the KIA near me has been helping me with mods to stay under the warranty--but jb4 or anything like that voids it.If you goto the drag--and stay in the street tire division--there are a LOT of cars even a stock Stinger can beat. Most of the RWD cars are running almost a second slower because they can not put the traction down--so you will be even or beating American muscle cars--NA--RWD M cars etc.You can check my vids out--I raced 3 vehicles all with 500 or more HP--including a kenny bell lightning and a street mod and those had 600 HP plus.If I need anthing faster there is an exotic rental place literally down the road from me--but on street tires unless they were AWD AMGs or hellcats that burned the tires out--most cars were not breaking 12 seconds--which is what A Stinger should be able to do with light mods and AWD.
@@Tsand4 I am not surprised.i could not go ALL out because i had no helmet and was under a warning--and in fact got booted after running my 12.7.I was ahead in all my races at the 1/8th by more then 2 car lengths and let off a bit to try and stay near 13--but I have a helmet now and am going again either late summer or septemeber--I am also going again with a bunch of Ford guys and have a race lined up with a buddies 500 HP saleen mustang that has been medium modded.There are also a video or 2 of guys in canada running 12.3 to 12.5 in very cold weather and AWD since turbos love cold air.I still am not using launch control--it is too hard to time and if the guy next to you does not stage quick you are stuck there with yoour engine revving which is not good while moving.
I’m pretty much adding all the same mods as you have with the jb4. Plan on running map 2 exclusively. I just hope everything all turns out correct without having issues. Would you suggest working my way up from 0 to 2 and make sure the logs are right? I’m planning on sharing the logs on forums because I don’t have a clue on how to read them lol.
Yea thats how i did it. Logged map 1 and then 2 once i got approval from the forums. Long as your plugs are gapped right should be pretty straightforward. The pnp fuel wires are also dope cuz you dont have to tap into the cars wires if you have them.
@@Boogetsbizzy i actually have the eibachs both front and rear. Might have mispoken at some point. But yea i have eibachs, although i dont think there’s too much of a difference.
As far as warranties go in the United States for cars. You can make changes and do mods to your car now. If there's an issue, the burden will be on the car dealership or car manufacturer to prove that that was the sole reason for the failure. Don't quote me on the spelling but it's called the Munson act that we are protected by now the dealership may say that you voided your warning all this stuff but they can all lie but that is what we are protected by. The onus is on them the prove it
Id probably say 500whp and about 600tq would probably the max id want to push it if i was going for any kind of longevity. Some guys have been launching this thing regularly with numbers close to those and havent blown anything yet.
You have to gap them. You can use the “tap a hard surface three times and check” method or purchase a gapping tool from amazon. 12mm and 14mm Spark Plug Caliper, Spark Plug Gap Tool Universal Spark Plugs Gapper Gapping Kit www.amazon.com/dp/B08R386H9B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_AB4NTJCX83T3Y2SQ190H?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1. Super easy to gap with.
@@JulianWithAnX id really like to see a GT2 awd vs RWD of the same year with the same mods. Track & drag tests.... Also. If anyone every develops CF rear seat delete, I’d totally do it.
And if I ever had an issue I would actually start arguing how their design was faulty and caused problems where what I did actually helped with longevity that wouldn't be hard to do on a lot of stuff again, always research legal definitions of words and then see what president was set in court cases using those definitions and you have everything you need to fight your case for you. Nothing else you would have to do and let alone the burdens He's on the manufacturer and car dealership that you're alteration caused this problem and was the main cause of the problem I would think even if they would try to research all that their cost that would go involved in researching that would be way more than just dealing with whatever they have to deal with. Because they couldn't use a one size fits all mentality they would have to prove each individual case.
I have a 2022 kia stinger gt line it’s the 2.5 liter would you recommend getting a jb4 or Lap 3 tune I just need a bit more power nothing to crazy my base horsepower is 300 and would you add a cold intake to the car also
Hi great video new sub and bell clicked 😉 I'm very interested in buying the Stinger seen alot of videos like these can someone tell me how strong the engine is eg internals with all these mods and addons what is the peak power the engine can handle before the internals need to upgraded cheers for time .
If you go to this website www.n54tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52020 on the main post theres a headline “in dash map switching” which shows you all the settings you have to change in the app to enable
So I have a question when you take it to the dealer for regular maintenance and remove the jb4, do you also remove the spark plugs. Cause I'm sure if they see the hks plugs with the smaller gap they'll know you're doing something.
To my knowledge, they can't do anything about the plugs. Unless they're the culprit that damaged the engine or something. Long as the Jb4 unit is disconnected and the codes cleared.
Like Gy said chances are spark plugs wont damage the engine as long as they were installed correctly. At worst one of them will blow and youll get misfires but that wont damage the engine permanently as long as you change then relatively quickly. Legally they cant void your warranty unless they can prove that theyre the reason the car failed. But no i don’t remove them when i go in for service, only the jb4.
I just got a used stinger that already had the jb4 installed....6 days later I had a check engine light ...took it to the dealer and they said it was because of the jb4 that’s causing the check engine light? Could this be true? Also can I download the app and be able to connect it to this car?
Could be, id try getting connected to the jb4 with the app to see if you can read the code. Could be a lose connection. If it is jb4 related though should be as easy as removing the jb4 and the issue should go away.
That warranty refers to the actual jb4 itself. The racechip warranty refers to the car. Meaning if any damage happens to the car bc of the race chip they will cover costs of repairs. Jb4 is not covering any repair costs lol.
Keep doing these Great videos . For those who believe the information is wrong, please be specific. You can always make your own videos but to just say it's not accurate without being specific is just ignorant.
jB4 is a great start, and an extremely valuable tool for logging what the ECU is doing and monitoring boost levels. Most of the big guys are running it map 0 and doing ECU swaps.

Most of the RWD cars are running almost a second slower because they can not put the traction down--so you will be even or beating American muscle cars--NA--RWD M cars etc.You can check my vids out--I raced 3 vehicles all with 500 or more HP--including a kenny bell lightning and a street mod and those had 600 HP plus.If I need anthing faster there is an exotic rental place literally down the road from me--but on street tires unless they were AWD AMGs or hellcats that burned the tires out--most cars were not breaking 12 seconds--which is what A Stinger should be able to do with light mods and AWD.
@@khronin my stinger can do 12.5 no mods all stock all day. Regular LC 12.78-12.82 all day. I have plenty dragy runs on my channel.
@@Tsand4 I am not surprised.i could not go ALL out because i had no helmet and was under a warning--and in fact got booted after running my 12.7.I was ahead in all my races at the 1/8th by more then 2 car lengths and let off a bit to try and stay near 13--but I have a helmet now and am going again either late summer or septemeber--I am also going again with a bunch of Ford guys and have a race lined up with a buddies 500 HP saleen mustang that has been medium modded.There are also a video or 2 of guys in canada running 12.3 to 12.5 in very cold weather and AWD since turbos love cold air.I still am not using launch control--it is too hard to time and if the guy next to you does not stage quick you are stuck there with yoour engine revving which is not good while moving.
From what I’ve heard, there is no tune for the 2022 stinger, I heard there was a slight difference in the ECU
I’m pretty much adding all the same mods as you have with the jb4. Plan on running map 2 exclusively. I just hope everything all turns out correct without having issues. Would you suggest working my way up from 0 to 2 and make sure the logs are right? I’m planning on sharing the logs on forums because I don’t have a clue on how to read them lol.
Yea thats how i did it. Logged map 1 and then 2 once i got approval from the forums. Long as your plugs are gapped right should be pretty straightforward. The pnp fuel wires are also dope cuz you dont have to tap into the cars wires if you have them.
@@JulianWithAnX awesome! Another question for you. Why did you pick the ark sway bars over the eibach. I’m having trouble finding reviews for the Ark.
@@Boogetsbizzy i actually have the eibachs both front and rear. Might have mispoken at some point. But yea i have eibachs, although i dont think there’s too much of a difference.
Have you checked the Ultimate Performance down pipes? They include an o2 non-foul adapter that removes the check engine issue.
Thank you swag
As far as warranties go in the United States for cars. You can make changes and do mods to your car now. If there's an issue, the burden will be on the car dealership or car manufacturer to prove that that was the sole reason for the failure. Don't quote me on the spelling but it's called the Munson act that we are protected by now the dealership may say that you voided your warning all this stuff but they can all lie but that is what we are protected by. The onus is on them the prove it
Thanks very informative video! How much power can you safely push on stock engine?
Id probably say 500whp and about 600tq would probably the max id want to push it if i was going for any kind of longevity. Some guys have been launching this thing regularly with numbers close to those and havent blown anything yet.
@@JulianWithAnX cool thanks 👍🏾
Do you have to gap the hks plugs or they come pre gapped?
You have to gap them. You can use the “tap a hard surface three times and check” method or purchase a gapping tool from amazon. 12mm and 14mm Spark Plug Caliper, Spark Plug Gap Tool Universal Spark Plugs Gapper Gapping Kit www.amazon.com/dp/B08R386H9B/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_AB4NTJCX83T3Y2SQ190H?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1. Super easy to gap with.
If i go with the jb4, do i need to do any other mods besides the spark plugs? Only mods i have now are intakes and midpipe
Oil catch can would be helpful. But yes Jb4/spark plugs is definitely needed. Should be good to go.
Correct. Intakes and exhaust will give you some extra power but definitely arent needed for the jb4.
@@SSH939 thanks man
@@JulianWithAnX Preciate it
@@JulianWithAnX id really like to see a GT2 awd vs RWD of the same year with the same mods. Track & drag tests.... Also. If anyone every develops CF rear seat delete, I’d totally do it.
Wait. Tell us more about the jb4 wiper blade thing😳
And if I ever had an issue I would actually start arguing how their design was faulty and caused problems where what I did actually helped with longevity that wouldn't be hard to do on a lot of stuff again, always research legal definitions of words and then see what president was set in court cases using those definitions and you have everything you need to fight your case for you. Nothing else you would have to do and let alone the burdens He's on the manufacturer and car dealership that you're alteration caused this problem and was the main cause of the problem I would think even if they would try to research all that their cost that would go involved in researching that would be way more than just dealing with whatever they have to deal with. Because they couldn't use a one size fits all mentality they would have to prove each individual case.
I have a 2022 kia stinger gt line it’s the 2.5 liter would you recommend getting a jb4 or Lap 3 tune I just need a bit more power nothing to crazy my base horsepower is 300 and would you add a cold intake to the car also
Hi great video new sub and bell clicked 😉 I'm very interested in buying the Stinger seen alot of videos like these can someone tell me how strong the engine is eg internals with all these mods and addons what is the peak power the engine can handle before the internals need to upgraded cheers for time .
What's your thoughts on VR Tunes? Looking at possibly trading in my truck for something different
With cold air Intake still under warranty?
affirmative action jackson
You didn't try out the racechip gts
The fastest Stinger right now will do 3.00s flat 0-60 (2.85 w/ 1ft rollout) and
Agreed. JB4 is best for people who buy the genesis in canada. (We get free service etc for 5 years)
The Lozic car you speak of blew up in a month or so.
@@Marshmellow_Old_Fashioned Shit, where did you see that? Williamsj41 was his handle on the stingerforums
@@Nickersont88 it was brought up on instagram live. You can ask the owner. The head gasket blew and overheated at the track running 10.9
How do you switch the map from the wiper speed? I have been trying to figure that out?
If you go to this website www.n54tech.com/forums/showthread.php?t=52020 on the main post theres a headline “in dash map switching” which shows you all the settings you have to change in the app to enable
@@JulianWithAnX Thanks got it figured out
Can you use them spark plugs on 2015 cadenza
You can’t drive your car if you send the ecu in ?
So I have a question when you take it to the dealer for regular maintenance and remove the jb4, do you also remove the spark plugs. Cause I'm sure if they see the hks plugs with the smaller gap they'll know you're doing something.
To my knowledge, they can't do anything about the plugs. Unless they're the culprit that damaged the engine or something. Long as the Jb4 unit is disconnected and the codes cleared.
Like Gy said chances are spark plugs wont damage the engine as long as they were installed correctly. At worst one of them will blow and youll get misfires but that wont damage the engine permanently as long as you change then relatively quickly. Legally they cant void your warranty unless they can prove that theyre the reason the car failed. But no i don’t remove them when i go in for service, only the jb4.
I just got a used stinger that already had the jb4 installed....6 days later I had a check engine light ...took it to the dealer and they said it was because of the jb4 that’s causing the check engine light? Could this be true? Also can I download the app and be able to connect it to this car?
Could be, id try getting connected to the jb4 with the app to see if you can read the code. Could be a lose connection. If it is jb4 related though should be as easy as removing the jb4 and the issue should go away.
But on jb4 page it says it has 5yr warranty too🤨
That warranty refers to the actual jb4 itself. The racechip warranty refers to the car. Meaning if any damage happens to the car bc of the race chip they will cover costs of repairs. Jb4 is not covering any repair costs lol.
If I run the JB4, do I have to remove it for a simple oil change at the dealership?
Do your own
PLS HELP !!! How can I make mine go faster than 134mph!??
Ecu tune is the best way as far as i know
Gotta buy the tune from torque motor sports increase limits from 135 to 170
Anyone tell me what app is being used here?
It’s on the jb4 website
Wouldn't it be awesome if Kia made a limited edition of a V8 model 🤔
A coupe v8 stinger is my dream
🤦🏻♂️ they have a V8 model. K900
I recommand to speak even faster!!!!
Do a little more research some of the stuff you said wasn’t true
It would be a little more helpful to other people watching if you clarified what parts weren’t correct.
