BTRcc Custom Dyno Tune 1.6T

Pretune

After Tune

Run performed on a 45 degree bend highway on ramp because I live in an area with traffic cameras every few blocks.
Straight line performance would obviously be better.

0-60

0-80 (Traction control on)

 

[6thElementEngineering]

Very nice! I need to get on one of those tunes

 

[ragg]

They going to release the tune to the public?

 

[Norrie]

Hell yeah!

 

[DennRN]

@ Ragg, I've asked them to consider it.

@ Itsjustme I'm calling BTR about my spare ECU tomorrow, I'll ask if a your FMIC upgrade is kosher with the tune and report back. Maybe we won't have to reinvent the wheel and you can just swap your ECU for a pretuned one.

Good news/Bad news
So I called BTR, ECU pricing is $400, so half price from Korea!
The good news is that BTR product manager Sam said that making a canned 1.6T Forte tune is definitely a market they want to get in to and they are working on it.
The bad news is that because the way that KIA has laid things out, it currently isn't possible to make a canned tune.
Silver lining, they will continue to work on it, and he said that it might be ready sometime after SEMA, so maybe as early as next month!
I'll continue to follow this for you guys, help me drum up as much interest as possible to help push this down the pipeline.

 

[Norrie]

I'd love to get one a few months after I drop one of 6th intakes in.

 

[ragg]

Yeah I emailed them a couple days ago showing my interest.

 

[T-GDI]

I hope that there's an event sometime around the South East as well. I'm in AL, and I've emailed about every shop in a 100 mile radius, and I've only gotten a reply from one so far who said, "Unfortunately there isn't any software that I am aware of for the Kia. Without a tuning software I would be unable to make a tune for your application." Sooo. I'm not having any luck yet up here in AL/TN.

That is amazing it took you around 5 seconds to get to 60mph

 

[schizorazgriz]

Dang your forte is quick man! I noticed the wheel sing was similar with and without traction control in your videos.

I'd like to compare this with the tork dyno sheets.

 

[TierAngst]

Someone be diggin up buried treasure. This thread is a year old. It would be interesting to see his and a tork tuned car on the same dyno though.

 

[Forte5]

The tork tune is probably a bit faster because of more boost than what the btr gives you. If I remember right a VT had their canned tune and it peaked at 19-20 where the tork peaks at 21-22 and will hold that till 6k unlike other tunes where it falls off around 5k

 

[Playwithmymind]

Not even a fair comparison with BTR at 198 WHP and +21 WTQ and the Tork stage 1 is 224 WHP and 222 WTQ on a bone stock Forte.

 

[TCENGEL]

Sounds like you are in the area. I have the Tork stage 1, would be intersting to compare performance in person.

 

[Codeeman12]

Yeah I wish someone with the tork tune would do a video as well

 

[Forte5]

Mine is a stage 1.25+ and runs 24psi daily so I am running a bit more than the stage 1. I will try to get a video when the weather is actually nicer out lol

 

[TCENGEL]

I took a quick video last night just to show you how the speedometer moves on mine. I couldn't get a 0-60 from a stop, this is more of a 20-60mph pull.

That's awesome ! Have any of you guys gone the top speed yet ? Without a tune the fastest I've gone was 135

 

[Forte5]

From what I was told by john I have no top speed limiter anymore. Not sure since I have really no place to get to that speed safely around me
