  1. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hey, I was wondering if there are any mods I can do on my 15’ Optima without having to get a tune?
  2. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    Hey all, Looking to get as much as I can out of the 2.0 without finally starting the process of moving to a bigger turbo or adding anymore bolt-ons. I've been running the JB4 on 93 for a couple months now peaking at 23-24.5psi on the turbo (safety locked at 24.5 because I've had the turbo...

    Do you all recommend the day before? If so, is anyone selling one that I could purchase?
  4. 4th Generation Optima (2016 - 2020)
    First of all, I am new to the forum, so thanks to anyone who replies or helps out! I am looking for a stage 1 tune for my 2017 Kia Optima SXL without breaking the bank, but also still being a reliable tune. Any suggestions?
  5. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    Hey guys, so I’ve been looking around for tunes, and one crossed my path. I’ve been looking at the BTR tune for the 2012 Optima 2.0 turbo. Some of the specs I have rn is a BOV sound plate, and Kinetic exhaust. I have read about the tune, and says it’s mainly for stock injectors, and stock...

    Hey guys, I was at the dealer earlier and I had a very good experience and conversation with the folks there. Apparently, the new OEM spark plugs are a lot better than before. The tech even showed me. It looks just like my HKS. Can someone confirm if the new OEM plugs are a lot better now or...

    Hey guys, I know many of us have the Btrcc canned tune and loved it. Especically how it lowers the rpm during cold start. I don’t think Lap3 has that yet. Let’s discuss on both pros and cons. So the new owner can make the best decision. I’ll update this post as we get more information from...
  9. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I'm new to this board and car. I came from a 2016 Mustang that I upgraded various parts and the third party manufacturers were abundant. So far am I correct to assume that there is no flash tune that can safely run without replacing the spark plugs? I've done some research on this board and did...

    I received my tune and installed it right away on my 2013 SXL! The install process was a breeze because David Chung gave me a step by step walkthrough. We were messaging each other in real time and he took great care of me. Within 10-15 minutes I was all done. You need to upgrade your spark...

    Hey guys! This is a kind of double question, my 2013 Kia Optima's wipers aren't working, I'm thinking the motor's gone but before completely writing it off I wanted to get under the cover and inspect the motor, has anyone ever taken the cover over the motor off? If so, can anyone link a...

    Does anyone know if you reflash the factory ECU with say a Lap3 1.5 tune and then flash back to stock for a dealer visit , if that event would be detectable by the dealer or KIA?
  14. Engine and Technical Discussion
    I am considering getting the brand new Kia ECU that is then tuned by blood type racing. I just wanted to find out from anybody that has gone this route what the pros and cons are as it pertains to: does it change the miles on the odometer when installed and then back to previous mileage when...

  16. 3rd Generation Optima (2011 - 2015)
    I bought a lap3 tune back in November. It is completely different car. It responds to the throttle a lot better, it’s not as sluggish. If you’re on the fence on buying a tune for your car give the lap3 tune a look. I’m getting ready to step up to setting 2 in the next few weeks. Thanks for...
