Direct injection and a slight boost in compression.Ok so ive been seeing the new ad for the 2011 optima boasting 200hp with a 2.4L... Just out of curiosity what is the difference between the fortes 2.4L and the optimas?
just out of curiosity, do you know what vehicle specifications are?Ok so ive been seeing the new ad for the 2011 optima boasting 200hp with a 2.4L... Just out of curiosity what is the difference between the fortes 2.4L and the optimas?
for $26k i would spend an extra 5k to get a beemer or lex...I think the '11 Optima is sexy...Would have got that if I had waited....
Get a whimpy 328i or a turbo Optima?for $26k i would spend an extra 5k to get a beemer or lex...
the sorrento would be a better buy. just test drove both.
Wow! I'm suprised Kia wanted to go 1 bar on it, damn.the turbo optima just came out too. 274 hp running 14.5psi and was made to run off of 87 octane regular gas.
I think swap motor should be around 5k minimumHow hard would it be if I took my 2011 sedan to Kia and asked them to drop in the Optima turbo engine in place of mine. Do you think theres a way of trading engines and paying the difference (Incl. Labor)? Just a Q? Thanks, thought of going and asking them when I get my oil changed. but being that im more of a Tech guy and not a Engine guy im sure its a lot of work or maybe not.
a dealership would never do it. the motor would go in fine but the problem is the electronics would all have to be changed which would be a pita. i thought of doing this too but i would wait to find a wrecked turbo optima and take the motor out of it. that would be alot cheaper because it would have all the electronics in it.How hard would it be if I took my 2011 sedan to Kia and asked them to drop in the Optima turbo engine in place of mine.
