Once he got a look at the Koup, which just happened to be the only one left on the lot, he was sold, and bought it without eve taking a test drive. He liked the Mazda6 that he drove before the Kia Koup, but always felt that is was lacking a little something in terms of style. When he started looking for a new car, Philip said he wanted something that fit his style. He has received a lot of positive comments about his ride from friends, family, and even strangers, most of whom either compliment the design of the car or the way it rides and handles. Philip has owned his Koup for almost three years now and is convinced that it will be Kia that he turns to for every future vehicle purchase. He also loves the sense of community that Kia owners seem to have, which included a big gathering of Forte owners in St. Philip said that he loved the warranties that came with the car, although he has yet to have to take advantage of any of them. The car he purchased, before heading off to an airbase in South Korea for a year, was the Kia Forte Koup SX. Good luck.The latest in our interview series with Kia owners takes us to Charleston, South Carolina, and an Air Force electrician named Philip Huston. Theres a very good reason you only see FBO coyotes, nitrous coyotes, or boosted coyotes. In the end staring at the numbers to only make 600 at the crank on a gen 3 coyote its just not worth it at all. Just my 2 cents, but trust me i went down your road and spent weeks researching this topic and cataloged every single part i would need for it to be a reliable setup and the price is staggering. With seat time this combo will run very nice times at the track regardless of what it dyno's and you wont spend all your cash to do it. The thing you should look at instead is doing the basic mods in sequence and maybe capping out at a ported CJ setup on E85 with suspension and tire. Now im not throwing the blower argument here since i myself am also not going FI and staying NA, but 8.5k spent to get less HP than even the cheapest boost setup is a pretty dumb idea IMO. Ive never seen ANY gen coyote making 600 or 650 rwhp fully NA without nitrous or boost. I highly, highly doubt you will ever make near that to the rear on a gen 2 engine and you'll spend 8.5k. It was a Motortrend article and they used comps stage 3 cams with ported CJ and all the rest and ended up with 600 but at the crank, on a gen 3. Even if it wasnt i will still reference it since their results on a max effort setup on a gen 3 will be great for comparison. The article i believe you are referencing is for a gen 3 motor, not the gen 2 you have, and on top of that it as a gen 3 on an engine stand not in the car. So now you are looking at an $8,560 build. I already have a tune on E85 and supporting suspension mods so i didnt need to include that in the cost, but if you are starting near stock you will end up spending near another $1,000 on those items. And that is just cams and a ported CJ setup and an ATI. Good luck lol, i priced out everything i would need to push the limits for a max effort NA build, and including cams and all its supporting mods for the cams, ported CJ, TB for the CJ, CAI for the CJ, aftermarket hood or steeda motor mounts to lower the engine so it will fit, an ATI super dampner, headers, and the cost of labor the cost was over $7,560 so far. GTFO of here with that Durrrrr just boost it mentality and 12 year old comments. Sure some people can afford to go full retard then cough up another 3 to 5k for a trans or engine if or when it grenades. Id rather be able to drive a car in anger and on the ragged edge of 8k rpm than be chewing my fingernails thinking what if it breaks. Do you enjoy driving the car!!!?ĭurr check out my blower but I dont have a damn clue what to do with the suspension or tires to make it work. I dont give a damn what your time slip or dyno sheet says. IMO a stalled A10 with stupid 3.73 gears comp cams and a CJ manifold screaming at 8K+ would be a damn riot on the street and laugh at stock hellcats and other "Boosted Bro" cars that can barely run 10s. Guess what ALOT of us daily our cars and would like to keep it that way. Its not always about chasing a god damn HP number on the dyno or running a 9 sec pass. Or 4 figures for a belt wrap kit and pulleys for some FI kits No! NA cars are running 10s and dont have to worry about breaking shit left and right. Damn it I hate this argument every single time someone says Durrrrrrrr boost it bro.
