2016-2020 Kia Optima HPS Short Ram Intake Install
Вставка

- A how-to video of sorts for all of you who want to install an aftermarket intake on your 2016-2020 Kia Optima with the Theta II 2.4L engine. Hope this helps! #HPS #SRI #Kia #Optima #K5 #KDM #racecar
After installing said intake, I felt a decent difference in throttle response but nothing crazy. I used the good old butt dyno method so whatever “gains” I got I’ll never know since all that Kia power drove me and the car right into a tree a few months later. Happy modding!

This is hands down the greatest "how to" video in my opinion. Knowledge with mad man comedy. Brilliant.
Lol thank you!! 🙏🚗💨
Awesome video! I plan on doing this to my 2019 Optima. 🤣 lost it when you were like “wtf is the air box stuck on?!”
Thank you!! Glad you like it!!
@@TheNemesisCoupe Were you able to feel any performance difference with this air intake? in terms of increase in acceleration?
@SHINAZ KHALID NAHAS as far as acceleration goes, yes definitely.
I’m mad how easy this how to is compared to top youtubers lol also it’s ya boiiii William!!!
Yo this guy is funny as shit😂, “Step one... bam, step two... bam!”😂
Looking to do this for my 2019 Optima LX. What are the 2 hoses for exactly?
They’re vacuum lines
What is this exact intake called I've been looking up and down on Amazon trying to find it ..
@Fernando Carmona it’s the HPS Short Ram Air Intake. It’s not available on Amazon but you can find it on Redline360.com, that’s where I bought mine. Link ➡️➡️➡️ shop.redline360.com/products/hps-short-ram-intake-hyundai-sonata-kia-optima-2-4-15-18-polished-black-blue-red
Will the stock vacuum hoses work/ does the hps intake come w new hoses?
@John Ruff nope, the stock vacuum hoses need to be removed, the HPS kit comes with new hoses for you to install.
Install is easy im just here for opinions on which intake i should get. I feel $100 vs $300 to almost $400 seems a bit sketchy, especially when they all look the same
@dopex2xdeath Fair enough man, honestly, it depends on how the intake is made, the design and how airflow travels through it, the diameter of the tube, the quality. There are a lot of factors that go into it. I’ve never had a problem with HPS and I’ll most likely stick with em for a while with all my cars.
I had a 2020 kia optima turbo with a K&N COLD AIR INTAKE but from My 2015 challenger R/T and that shit gave me the full potential of hp my kia after that on dyno with tune was at 256 hp but at the end I did full bolt on and made that kia a 405 hp beastand the sound of the cold air i take with headers that sounds was the best sounding car I have so far cause I don't have that car no more I have a 2006 chrysler 300c srt8 6.1 liter and just bought a nissan sentra 2020 turbo and guess I still have that K&N and now it's in the sentra lmfaoo 😂😂😂😂 just realized that I have that cold air intake for 5 to 10 years but I had the maintenance 110% good with it I sprayed when needed too etc every thing that you do for a intake when it's running low to make it back yo full potential again but I've noticed in the kia and now sentea the intake will knock the hoses off the metal zip ties cause of the heavy flow of cool air but I always end up beating a Benz or a BMW and shock the mafuckahthat I've raced no lie shit is funny ask but at that point it depends on the driver and not the build cause I feel like with my kia I shouldn't have mopped any amgs or m series cars but I was and they were surprised as much as me and after every race at that time I would have to pull over and put a new metal zip tie on and it will last me about 2 months until I had to exchange it again
Gets better 0 to 60 times and fuel milage. That is what it does. Probably boosts torque more than HP but it is very noticeable when sucking enough air. Won't get your doors blown off by an old dude in a farm truck anymore.
Unfortunately the Optima was totaled last year 👀 but I have a new project now that is coming along. I definitely did notice a difference with the intake; it wasn’t anything major but it was a difference in performance.
I have a 2015lx optima, do you happen to remember the diameter of the tube?
I do actually, it was a 3” tube. It might be different for you because of yours being a 2015 and the 2.4L was tweaked for 2016+ model years.
So you took what was basically stock CAI and now have it sucking in the hot air from the engine bay? I did that years ago on my Ranger by adding a stupid cheap cone filter not realizing my truck had cold air in the vent leading to the sealed box by the grill
@mixwell1983 Yup, too bad the car kissed a tree and was totaled 2 years ago 🤷🏻♂️
@@TheNemesisCoupe i saw that you mentioned it. Sucks man..
Awesome vid!!!
Thank you!! 🙏
I have a 06 opt LX kan i do this the same way. It has a sensor im not sure for what but hopefully it doesnt alter anything too much! Any suggestions for me
That all depends. I’m not too familiar with the 06 models but I’ve seen that they’ve got different engine options and there are two versions of the 06s. There’s the 2006 models and the 2006.5 models. Which engine do you have and which body style for that year do you have? It’s a start and we can go from there as far as options for your car, I’m happy to help!
Did you have any issues with the radio? I heard in some optimas you have to punch in a radio code if you disconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
Gabriel Garibay nope, never had that problem but in my Civic I have to do that every time I disconnect the battery, but no, never in the Optima.
@@TheNemesisCoupe what year was that optima you were working on?
@@TheNemesisCoupe did you get any check engine codes after you installed it
No check engine lights and it was a 2017 I had gotten brand new before I crashed it a year later 😭
@@TheNemesisCoupe my bad one last question so K&N recommends that I disconnect the negative terminal before I install my intake. Do I have to disconnect the negative terminal. I ask this because I never got the security code from the dealership and I don't want to fuck my electronics up.
The commentary hahahhahahah this guy made me laugh lol
I just bought a 2020 optima lx, will this work in it too ?
Andy Fernandez as long as it’s the 2.4L engine, yeah it’ll work. They didn’t really change the 2.4L at all from 2016 to now.
Is there a mass air flow sensor on the airbox?
@Dennis Jones Nope, no mass airflow sensor on the air box at all, which actually surprised me to be honest.
It says from 2015-18 but do you think it would fit a 2014
@L2Grandpa honestly, I’m not 100% sure, I’d look up engine bays of the 2015-2019 2.4L Optimas and compare them by varying years to see if the intake would be compatible with your 2014 model year. I know in 2016 the Theta-II 2.4L engine was tweaked for the next generation of Optimas so I’m not sure if that intake would even fit a 2015 and under.
hey man i got the same one on the way, did it throw any mafs codes or anything
Surprisingly no, it didn’t. I got one for the Si that I have and that one threw codes at me but the one in the Optima was perfectly fine.
Dude you’re funny 🤣 literally I talk the same way doing car work. Plug this bullshit into this damn thing and.... why the fuck aren’t you working.... 😂
@Riley Force I don’t know why but it just makes the process more enjoyable 😂
Is there anything for the 2.0 2016 sxl??? Cant find any after marker parts
@uk edition I found this 👉 www.k5optimastore.com/products/aem-induction-air-intake-system
Aye bro would you happen to know a air intake for a 2016 optima sx turbo?
@Michael Gonzales there isn’t much for the 2016 model years with the 2.0T but I did find this for ya. 🔗➡️➡️➡️ www.k5optimastore.com/products/aem-induction-air-intake-system
I just bought a 2016 optima slx and want to get an intake, and other misc parts, what sites did you use? Anything other then just k5 auto?😂
Benjamen726 yeah the K5 Optima Store was one of them, Redline360 was another one. Depends on the parts you’re looking for tbh. Fitment Industries for any suspension and wheels and I’d assume they should have coilovers or lowering springs for the 16 Optimas. I’ll see what I can find as far as different sites and put them in another reply but those are just a few for starters!
The Nemesis Coupe hell year thank you so much ✊🏼
Benjamen726 anytime! 🚗💨
Hey I’m actually about to install this tomorrow 😂 just wondering if you used the L bracket it came with (I guess for support) I didn’t see you use it in the vid so just wondering if you I used it? But otherwise thanks for the vid it will help so much!!
Cory O'Brien yeah I did end up using it, my bad lol I forgot to put that part in the vid 😂 and of course. Thank you for the feedback and support, I really appreciate it!
Do you need a spacer to add an cold air intake?
Nope, no spacer needed!
did ur intake shake a little bit when the engine was on ?
@Michael Vinoya Yeah, just a smidge
Got a 2019 Kia Optima LX 2.4L 4 Cylinder I’m sure it will work but just wanting to make sure ? & also is the place you bought yours actually a good place to buy the cool intake from? Just curious ! First time buying it want it to be perfect & awesome !
Yes, it will work. I loved my intake on that car. No problems with a check engine light, slightly better throttle response and that whooshing noise from the engine bay when you’re driving is great. I bought it from Redline360, that’s the place I always buy all my car parts from. Their shipping is quick, they’re reasonably priced and if you need financing for your parts the Affirm option is pretty simple. Here’s the link for it then! shop.redline360.com/products/hps-short-ram-intake-hyundai-sonata-kia-optima-2-4-15-18-polished-black-blue-red
The Nemesis Coupe thank you ! I appreciate your time ! I just heard about that one place K&N? Or something like that didn’t know which one to go to ! But thank you
Great video I lost it so many times lol
Justin Phelps thank you! 🙏 Glad you enjoyed it!
I have a 2016 Kia Optima lx could I use this same cold air intake?
Yep, the 2.4L engines are the same from 2016-2020
The Nemesis Coupe did you have to buy anything else for the car besides the cold air intake to install it?
Eerocks123 nope, it was pretty straight forward and everything I needed was in the box that the intake came in.
The Nemesis Coupe you don't need to have the throttle body spacer right?
Correct, I only had the throttle body spacer because I had planned on running a NOS kit. The intake actually fits better in the engine bay without the throttle body spacer.
Funny video my guy 👌💯 so I have a 2.4L 2018 kia optima lx, would this work as well? and what intake did you use if I may ask? I just wanna make sure lol
@Jose982142 yes, it’ll work in that too. The 4th gen Optimas didn’t really change at all other than the mid-cycle facelift. So I used the HPS short ram intake. Here’s the link 👉 shop.redline360.com/products/hps-short-ram-intake-hyundai-sonata-kia-optima-2-4-15-18-polished-black-blue-red
@Jose982142 mine was a 2017 Optima LX 2.4L as well. I definitely noticed a slight change in acceleration. It felt like it could breathe better plus the intake noises from the engine bay were a great compliment to the muffler delete lol 🤙
@@TheNemesisCoupe much appreciated, I been working on my 2018, doing little mods here, like tinted windows, glossed out black rims and a carbon fiber gt spoiler so I wanted to do something to the engine for once and you helped me out by showing me this intake, thanks again 👌💯
@@TheNemesisCoupe one other thing, when you purchased the intake it came with everything you displayed in the video? I never ordered off their website before
@Jose982142 yeah, it comes with everything you need, I had just assembled all the parts prior to the video. And thank you, I really appreciate the support!! Anytime, if ya have any questions just let me know. If you need any ideas I have an entire playlist of videos of all the things I did to mine before I sadly crashed it last year 😭
Just bought my intake, kinda worried but hopefully turns out well! I got the throttle body spacer, new iridium IX performance spark plugs (which Id recomend in a heart beat), and the ADD W1 catch can, so hopefully this fits well in my car😂🤧
You most likely won’t run into any problems other than fitment issues with the throttle body spacer. I had issues with the intake rubbing against the battery because of the TB spacer being in there too. I hope it goes well for ya! Glad to know people are still modding these cars. 🤙
Would this work on my Theta 1 2.4l 08 sonata? My housing broke and I'll be damned if I spend money on an oem. Thanks in advance
@Dakota Boothe I’m sorry, but this specific intake is made for the Theta 2 engine. I tried looking for another intake for that engine for you but I couldn’t find anything. Try looking at Redline360, Evasive Motorsports or CarID, you might be able to find something.
@@TheNemesisCoupe I tried bud. Anything short of something custom appears to be unheard of apparently. Absolutely soul crushing to find out the car I already own is nearly completely un-upgradable. I appreciate it though
@Dakota Boothe I feel your pain, I found out they don’t make ANY aftermarket tail light or headlight assemblies for the 14 and 15 Civic coupes whatsoever so I know the feeling. Sorry man, if I stumble on anything I’ll let ya know.
@@TheNemesisCoupe your good dude
I'm a year late but bomb ass soundtrack
Thank you! 🙏
Bahahahaha i have a 17 kia optima and this video is gold.
Hey im interested in ordering an air intake , I have a 2016 kia optama . Can you post a link so I can order this same intake? Thank for the video now I can install it myself when I get it ...
@Fernando Carmona yessir, here’s the link for ya for the 2.4L engine intake 👉 shop.redline360.com/products/hps-short-ram-intake-hyundai-sonata-kia-optima-2-4-15-18-polished-black-blue-red
Do you know where i can find this online?
Ulises Hernandez yep! Here’s the link to it. shop.redline360.com/products/hps-short-ram-intake-hyundai-sonata-kia-optima-2-4-15-18-polished-black-blue-red
Hilarious and informative lol great job
Thank you!! 🙏
what exact intake system did you use? i looked up a couple but most of them have the filter going underneath?
Intakes for the 2.4L engines are hard to find but here’s the site I got mine off of and I’m also selling my intake for less than I bought it for since I don’t have the car anymore. shop.redline360.com/products/hps-short-ram-intake-hyundai-sonata-kia-optima-2-4-15-18-polished-black-blue-red
The Nemesis Coupe how much??
Edgar Saldivar I literally just sold it last week, I was selling mine for $125
How was the performance? Worth the money?
Throttle response was better, the sound was rad as hell, worth the money? Ehhh looking back on it, no...but at the time yes lol.
That ride is non-turbo correct?
Yep, naturally aspirated all the way until I ran it into a tree 😭
The Nemesis Coupe follow up questions: how long did you have it on & did you have any check engine lights com on..? I seen a video saying it a bad idea to do the after market due to the computer being programmed for the OEM..!
N Garci I had it on for about 5 months, no problems, no check engine light and the car ran better tbh. It would’ve been even better to get it tuned but I never got the chance. I’m having an issue with the intake on my 15 Civic Si due to the mass airflow sensor going crazy over the amount of air that’s now going into the engine which in turn is throwing a check engine light. I just got a Hondata Flashpro for it so I can tune the car so it accepts the new intake. It just depends on the car and how sensitive it is to whatever you’re installing on it. My Optima, no problems whatsoever; my Honda, needs a tune.
The Nemesis Coupe interesting... so I’m sure I would go to a performance shop to get it tuned but what would that tune up job be called..?
Yeah, you’d have to go to a tuning shop and ask them to dyno tune the car to run with whatever supporting mods you have done to it. If you have an intake and exhaust done then ask them to dyno tune it for specifically those mods.
😂😂😂😂 Great video!
Thank you!!
Fucking dead. Just got done at work. This made my day with stupid people forgotten.
Damm can I install one on My Kia Optima lx 2015 ? If you do you know if I have to change the spark plugs and get thicker oil ??
Make sure you get one specific for your year. The 2.4L engines had some changes between 2015 and 2016 going forward. I wouldn’t recommend changing the spark plugs unless your engine actually needs it mileage-wise. And I personally wouldn’t use a thicker oil unless it’s in the summer or is recommended by Kia specifically.
Dude you're way overthinking this. Its a naturally aspirated 2.4L 4cyl. You'd never need to worry about having to get a step hotter or a step colder plugs..nor will a bolt on intake tube create a need for a thicker oil film over the moving parts to prevent it being blown off or mechanically overcome. Those are both things to consider with higher psi turbo engines and that's well beyond what this engine is capable of. All good, bolt it on and enjoy the noises. Very little performance gain for the money but satisfying anyway.
i feel like i made this video while do this same thing to my car, i just had a easier time with my air box then you did (bad luck) but i found a dead bird in mine.
Step 19 : You’re so mad
lol you a fool but i brought the same brand it's a polish one I mainly brought it for the sound too but for $228 I at least need 5hp 😂😂
😂😂😂 like ya mom
😂😂😂
Like ur mom lol!! U from Boston?
Nope, Reading Pennsylvania born and raised lol
@@TheNemesisCoupe lol!! Ok cool, dont know why I was hearing a new England accent lol I'm shot lol. Ok good video guy, im probably just gonna go with a K@N Air filter for $70 bucks. Probably get the same sound and power as the intake system lol.
You definitely were hearing the accent lol I usually do that just for shits and giggles. Thanks, I really appreciate it and I thought about doing that too but I really wanted the intake noise. 😂
@@TheNemesisCoupe Aight cool man, it sounds wicked lmao!! ;-)
Its difficult because its Korean. Date a Korean chick and you will find out real quick
