In this video I explain the best performance modifications for a KIA Optima 2011-2015. ALL modifications are listed down below. From showing my Luxon Strut bar to my Exhaust setup for any KIA or Hyundai with 2.0t engine or any engine in general. This setup can work with any model such as the KIA Stinger, Optima K5, or Hyundai models like the Genesis Coupe or Sonata 2.0t. With this exhaust setup my car shoots fire and pops and bangs with a ECU TUNE. The Cpe downpipe connected to the power pipe allows for no restrictions and give your car the instant response you want. I also connected a adjustable resonator for Patriot exhaust so I could open or close the valve whenever id please. I highly recommend this setup if you want a perfect sound form your Exhaust. I do some pulls in my KIA. Showing my modified exhaust. I also demonstrate my new Aodhan wheels Ds08 in the fronts and Ds06 as my rear wheel setup. My Widebody Kia Optima K5 ( DARK RISE ), is becoming the best K5. Heavily boosted KIA. Soon to have new KIA Stinger?

DARK RISE Holy cow what a fine fine optima you have.. so I'll be subscribing for sure.but my 2014 I just got picked up a knock knock knock one week after I got it so fingers crossed on my warranty getting my back.

Yes keep an eye out for the install video and Dino 🦕💯💯
Please keep this channel going I love it
Thankyou I really appreciate that!🖤💯 all ill ask is always support in any way possible 🙏
Such a dope build!!!! 9ers! 4 life!
Thankyou so much!! I appreciate you🖤💯
I have the Lap3 burple tune on my sonata and it sounds deeper than yours. Not that raspy fart sound. It all depends on exhaust set up. I have a couple vids on my channel. As far as shooting flames and blowing your engine, David clearly says not to Rev above 6k because you will blow your engine. I've had his tune 93 stg 1.5 tune for almost 2 years. And been running the burple tune for a year.
I apologize, I thought I uploaded a newer vid with my current exhaust set up. The one I have with the revving was the stock exhaust. That was real raspy. The one with me driving is with their newer set up. No outside sound though.
💯💯
I have the 2021 k5 gt line. I’m not even sure where to start. So far I have not found a lot of mods for it. I will admit super new to moding my car.
Congratulations on the new purchase!! Your new K5 looks menacing without any modification. Cant wait to see how they will look fully built!
I just bought a 21 gt line as well! I’m not doing any mods until the warranty expires. I’m sure by then, there will be some great performance parts for it. LMK if you install anything. I want a better sound system though.
Do some wheels and lower it Mike!!
@@yungwun1252 The warranty is 10 years though lol
Got a 2013 Kia Optima SXL and i cant wait to mod it
Congrats!💯🫡
Fire bro fire💯🔥💯 k5 on top
Thankyou so much!! Really appreciate alot!!!🖤🙏🏼
Nice man i love your car . I was wondering where did you get the mirror covers?
@kdmcalifornia we will be making a website soon! For preorder
The Gaptima!
🖤💯💯
Im starting out modding my Kia forte5 Sx. What would you say the best first mod would be for it ?? I was thinking a Intake and new exhaust for better flow? Or should I upgrade my coolers ?
Id suggest doing airintake and exhuast👍
Nice vid man I got my 2013 Kia optima a few days ago and was wondering what mods I should get on it first, I’m new to the whole car community and tryna see how things work.
Id always say to start with Wheels and suspension 👍
And Thankyou!
Informative!
Thankyou!!
I love your channel💕
🙏🏼🖤
Nice car bro 😎!!! I like how your transparent 👍🏽
Thankyou appreciate that!💯
please do beautiful by the way the work you have done to it is amazing
Thankyou so much!! And yes💯💯
Also - is there a dedicated turbo install video? Or is it in one of the others?
I know this video was 3 years ago, but can you tell me if you have the original engine or the post-recall engine? I have the latter and I've noticed a huge difference in performance - much lower performance with the new, refurb engine.
Cool bro..I have 2014 optima EX
Welcome to the family !
Now me being new to doing things to a Kia (previously had a mazda 3) I want to know if my 2014 gdi engine without turbo will still benefit from any of the things you put in your car
I say only cosmetic wise but I know of 2.4 motors shooting major flames.
Hey like the vid
I’m planning to buy a my first car cash money and i was wondering which of these 3 should i start off with
1.) dodge dart gt sport
2.) kia optima (lx/sx/turbo)
3.) Honda civic/accord
Id suggest A accord with2.0t or the kia but keep in mind the recals
@@DARKRISE recals?
I have a 2015 GTD turbo, if I switch out the turbo to one like you have? I have to have it tuned right?
Yes most definitely you will need to be tuned👍
What do u suggest for A 2022 k5 gt line 1.6turbo, Upgrade, I've got minor upgrades, Just considering a bigger turbo?....thanks
ID HIGHLY SUGGEST Investing a great wheel setup and suspension! Will make the car stand out tremendously!👍. Check out Joeys_k5 on Instagram for an example!🖤
What can I start on my 2020 Sport Kia Optima to make it go faster
Id suggest looking into air intakes, also the biggest jump in power without a tune would be removing the catalytic convertor. As thats the most heavy and restrictivepart of the car
I have a 2015 kia optima lx I want to drop a super charger kit in it witch one do you recommend I put in my car
So far haven’t heard of any super charger kits for the LX models unfortunately:/ but if I learn about them Ill inform you!
Where did you get your blow off valve ??? Been looking for one
I got it on ebay👍check the video I made of Kia mod List
so to make it louder do u just take it to like a muffler shop
Yes indeed or you can buy an aftermarket exhaust and install your self👍
what do you recommend for the 2019 Kia Optima FX? i wanna do some work to mine, these cars have some hidden speed!
Yes sir!! Id suggest checking out @incognegro_k5 he has a beautiful K5 with the same model as yours!💯but check ebay out as many great item for mods can be found there👍
Awesome build brother
What do u think of the new k5 gt is it great for mods like these is the chassis great for handling for over 450hp
Thankyou so much I appreciate that! And I actually love the way it came out the new k5 does look like a shark.
@@DARKRISE im planning on some sort of engine swap probably a v6 that fits i had the vq engine from the nissan 370z in my mind
That would be major!💯🔥
I wish i could get all the peformance stuff for the 2.4L for my optima. Hard to find things like turbos and better parts
I’d always suggest first getting some beautiful wheels with suspension then doing performance for vehicles like ares. Our cars weren’t built for being track stars. But are beautiful platform💪 I’m sure more will come for the 2.4l engines. But patients is key💯
True. I just wanna reach a goal of 250HP out of the N/A engine. A guy can only dream. You shit looks mint though my guy.
Lap3 it’s feds tho I’m thinking of invensting on the billet and waste gate also tune check out lap3usa.com
@@jimmygarcia6740 I cant use lap 3. My engine is N/A
Do you know if they make a bigger turbo 4 a 2014 sonata 2.0t?
They definitely do hit up KSR Performance!
Which bigger turbo did u end up going with? Also what intake manifold.?
Sic ride. I'm a subscriber now and soon to be a owner of a kia.
I don’t remember the exact size but its all from KSR Performance 💯💯
What kind of intercooler do you have on the car ?
CX Racing inner Cooler👍
Hey my dads got one one of those and you said the rev lock is bad or something but if you wanna remove it go to the fuse box and take the one out that says “rev limiter” or “rev lock” something along that
💯💯💯
I have a optima too but a 1.8 liter, have any thing? I wanna make more power. Really wanna turbo it.
Swap the motor💯💪
Tim from Sweden here! Nice car, i have an Stinger my self with 2,2 l diesel engine and 200 hp! Im an old Mopar fan since i had Challenger and Cuda in the 70 ,s and 80,s after that AudiS2 and now from 2015 Kia fan. Had Sportage first for 5 years and now 2018 year Stinger for about 32000.- euro,s! Its same in $$$$ i think! And how many horsepower this car have now? Regards from Kia Sweden! :)
Hello to you!! Thankyou for commenting and congrats! Welcome to the family 💯 Currently sitting at 310 whp but once I install the big turbo kit that will change👍
Didn’t know you had a UA-cam channel!
Yes sir!! 💪 Thankyou for Finding it!!Much appreciated!🖤
where do you buy your parts? (both cosmetic and performance)
car looks so clean
Thankyou check out the video I made about my mod list👍
I currently have the Lap3 plus Injen intake/ Ark DTS exhaust/ Wagner intercooler/ HKS BOV on my '13 SX, and your videos have me thinking about getting something from KSR...
I have 291whp right now and I would like to get closer to 350 (not more).
Do you have a suggestion on what to get, considering what i already have?
Hello Thankyou for watching!!🖤 and good question! From what I see that you have Id suggest his tune and Meth Kit and he will get set definitely at 350whp💯but its best to contact KSR they will get you Dialed in💪
@@DARKRISE awesome! Thank you so much, I just sent them an email
What cars have you beat in a race ?
Most cars with power under 340hp example maxima, altima, 350z, bmw 335i. Most cars that aren’t intended to be fast. This car isnt a race car. Or with the power but soon with the big turbo kit id atleast be sitting in the 400club🙏
Picked up the 2022 K5 I want to do a CAI and a blow off. What do you recommend I can’t find a damn part. Also maybe some exhaust
Honestly I dont know anything in the market yet for these new K5’s but once I start to see some stuff Ill start helping with links👍
Remember to Tune your ride...SFR is a good and proper tune
Check out the Video I made on what Tune Im running 💯💪
Yo man what times are you pulling 0-60 over stock? It’s look clean👍🏻
I am not sure yet. But videos on that soon!🖤
What size are your rims?
Check out the previous video I made on my wheel setup👍🖤
that tune is out of stock, any other tunes you recommend?
Its still available 💯💯
I have a Sorento but I have the 4 cylinder but don’t know where to start with adding power
Try an air intake best mod to start💯
my dad have this too🔥
🖤🖤🖤
Thats Fire bro how Much does those mods Cost in all
Thankyou! Ill be making a video on that in the next following post!💯
I love my optima sx but i wouldn't go too far with it on performance wise. Jus asking to blow the motor even quicker 330hp to 380hp is respectable other than that is too much unless is fully built. But good luck on the build.
Forging the internals is always an option!👍🏼Just like Honda K-series motors producing 700whp onced built. Appreciate the love Fam!
@@DARKRISE yes sir.. i still have my 09 Civic Si with full bolt-ons and tuned with flash-pro an made 250hp allmotor is fun to drive tho. A member (female) on the K5 Nation on FB is running 405hp with the stuffed 22t turbo an WG mod and tuned with Lap3. An her husband his car had full bolts on with a bigger turbo tuned with Lap3 he made 500hp right currently he's rebuilding the engine. People with jus intakes are blowing their motors lol 😆 but anyways man can't wait for your build super excited.
@@justbecause2010 it wont last for sure. 330hp 350hp is safe other than that you're pushing it. The trans wont keep up.
How much more horsepower did you get by adding the engine mods
With just full bolt on probably at most 10whp but with a tune I gain almost a whole 90whp using KSR PERFORMANCE 👍
Any tip on where I can start with my Kia 14 optima lx
I always suggest getting a good wheel setup and suspension 👍
Hey just bought a 2015 Optima turbo SXL and it's bone stock with 22k miles on it. What are the best performance upgrades for $1000-$1750
Hello, id suggest a tune from KSR PERFORMANCE AND a Innercooler/bov! Also check out the video “Best Tune for your Kia” I made . Will help out with your Questions 🖤SUBSCRIBE
You should start a gc for optimas I have a 2016 ls that I put a few mods on and it’s really a beast sleeper
Soon I will be on Facebook so hopefully then.
Would those headers fit on the 2018 1.6 gdi ?
No unfortunately they are completely different setups
I don't know much about internals but what would you need to fix "rod knock"?? is it the rod bearings? will quality forged connecting rods fix that?
If the wall is cracked then it would be done:/
@@DARKRISE chamber wall? good time to get it sleeved then 😂
I have intake, jb4, and a custom midpipe and catback exhaust and the genesis coupe BOV with a cxracing bov i was planning on going big turbo but its too much money even tho i found a different big turbo besides lap 3 and turbo kits
Yea thats why I went with KSRPerformance 👍 not as priced up compared to the competitors.
you are inspirational. your Optima is awesome.
I had a 2013 Optima sxl and just started messsing eit it it has a bov and a cai. the intake actually slowed me down my computer didn't like it. it pulls timing and cuts boost
but my Optima blew the turbo so I had it replaced OEM at the dealership paid 28000cash and on the way home the optima went up in flames on the highway!! so now I'm just fucked waiting on to see what they offer for comensation
Thankyou so much!🙏hopefully everything gets resolved 👍
@@DARKRISE I'm hoping to hear from them tomorrow Kia owes me big time!
Where did you get the body kit from?
👋 hello, i got it from fender flares👍
@@DARKRISE is there a link you could send me?
I have a 2020 special edition optima I can't seem to find any parts for it. Can you help a brother out?
Go check Lap3 out.
Id suggest you to check on ebay or AliExpress as for most modifications are out of the states. And I will always suggest to research before purchasing any product because some might damage.
So I have the 2.4 L 2013 optima and its NA stock. Do you know how easy it would be to install a turbo kit?
Not easy at all unfortunately:/ would be a better route to just get a 2.0t
no cap , im glad you talked about lap3s burble , i always thought it sounded like shit , i originally thought it was cause i wasnt catless lol , i got a nameless hfc and a ark cat and it sounds like trash , either way i cant wait for you to install that big turbskis
Yes sir. I was completely straight piped literally nothing from the turbo back just 3inch pipe. And would always get shit on for the farts. I understand it’s a KIA but if you make a tune that sounds like shit don’t up sale it like it’s gold lol luckily a KSR Performance with his tune is coming into play soon before the big turbo!
@@DARKRISE sounds dope , i wish you the best with the install
Please tell me where you got your hood and will it fit a 2014 2.4
Hood no longer exist unfortunately.
New to your channel bro. Do you think this G4KH will fit directly into my Kia Forte Koup ? Would be a decent power upgrade
I think it will be possible ! But would recommend this platform. In that case i would rather go with the Honda K20 motor.
@@DARKRISE ah man. You sound like some of my crew members. But K is the easy/ obvious answer. I'm all about the purity.I think a G4KH would be a straight swap for a G4KD. Both 2.0, one's N/A and the other is GDI + boost
What window fins do you have ... ?
I got them off of ebay!👍🏼
Any turbo recommendations for a turbo kit for a kit optima LX 2016 2.4l no stock turbo
Not sure if the 2.4l has a turbo upgrade:/
@@DARKRISE dang i mean i was looking and i saw a kit for 5g but that seems a bit steep and id hate to get something that doesnt work
Clean car bro you from so cal?
Thankyou!! And yes💯💯
@@DARKRISE I stay in socal as well man, riverside area
Could these modifications work for a Kia k5 gt line 1.6 L
No unfortunately, completely different motor and cosmetics
Where did you get that carbon fiber with the red accents back bumper ?
Ebay💯 I did the red accents with vinyl
Where’d you get the hood from?
Got it on eBay👍 but check out @kdmcalifornia on Instagram we’ll be making resales 👍
Question, do you know how much hp you have now (fully tuned $1.6k)compared to the stock 245 hp & please do a 0-60 video soon 💪🏽
Check out the video i made on that exact question 💯
🔥🔥🔥
🖤🙏🏼
Can these mods be placed on a EX GDI ?
To say the truth Im not quite sure:/
I was driving my Kia, and suddenly I lost boost and it wouldn’t accelerate as fast anymore. But when I pulled over and restart the car everything is back to normal do you know what the issue could be ?
Sometimes when a car is very heat soaked or flooded with fuel. It doesn’t acceptboost. Or could be a vacuum leak or loose cable from your manifold.
True aswell this could be another issue aswell good call Mark💯
So why an optima cause I’m getting one and I want to know if u and any regrets?
So everything about my car I love and recommend going with the SXL to get the fully loaded package, but something I wish I knew before hand was the weakness of the motors. They are very fragile compared to others cars Ive had. If not maintained properly or not running the right modifications/tune they will definitely go out sooner. But it definitely turns heads and surprises alot of people 👍
Where’d you get your grille from bro?
I made it!💯🖤well be making available for purchase soon!
Sounds good bro looks great!!! Whenever you got some gotta cop!!!
Car is nice
Thankyou!🙏🏼🖤I really appreciate the love!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thankyou fam really appreciate that!!!
Finna turn my Optima into a tuner🥵😂
Lets go!🙏💯
How much did it cost to install this kit and does it work on a k5 gt line?
Check out the video I made on that exact question.👍 “wide body kit installation “
What turbo you have
Comp turbor. Built by KSR performance 👍check them out!
You’re in lake Elsinore right??

Did you install the big turbo? We are waiting you bro
Not as of yet:/ But video definitely coming soon!
What kind of hood is that ?
Its one ebay no longer created but keep an eye out for preorder 👍🏼
