18BK Intercooler Kit for Kia Stinger GT 3.3T 2018-2023 Black - MMINT-STNGR-18BK - Give your 2018-2023 Kia Stinger GT extra cooling power with the Mishimoto Performance Intercooler Kit. The Stinger made quite the splash upon its release and shook up the mid-sized sports sedan segment. While the Lambda II GDI 3.3T provides one of the best platforms out there today, the intercooling system has the potential to hold the Stinger back. We've replaced the entire intercooling system, from turbo to throttle body to provide optimized airflow. The Mishimoto Performance Intercooler replaces the tube and fin core coupled to plastic end tanks with a robust bar and plate core, TIG-welded to cast aluminum end tanks for vastly improved heat dissipation and flow. We also expanded our core for a 94-percent increase in core volume and a 74-percent increase in external fin surface area. We kept the aluminum construction of the stock pipes, but increased the inner diameter to 3in for increased flow through the system with minimal pressure drop. We also made sure to overhaul the piping merger manifold, increasing the inlets to 2in and outlet to 3in for a 51-percent boost in flow straight out of the turbos, while retaining compatibility with the stock recirculation valves. Our piping kit is finished in a sleek micro-wrinkle black powder coat to retain the OEM+ look under the hood and is linked together with our 5-layer silicone couplers. Our intercooler kit isn't just about a new look but will perform. Once on the dyno, the combination of the larger piping diameters, and increased intercooler size equated to a 29°F drop in outlet temperatures with a gain of 8whp and 8wtq on stock tuning. We also made sure to turn up the boost with our testing and installed a stage 1 map tune on our Stinger and recorded a 41°F drop in outlet temperature with a 6whp and 8wtq gain on top of the tune.
