Hi all,
In the process of tuning my 2017 Forte S (147hp 2.0L I4 MPI engine). Main goals are to improve handling & acceleration, tighter/smoother throttle response, and to open up the engine sound a bit. I'd like the upgrades to be subtle, not looking to track this thing, just want a more enjoyable daily driving experience as I tend to be a more spirited driver.
Tuning so far:
These changes alone have this car riding better than factory new imo. Shifts are quicker/smoother, throttle response is better, car seems a lot punchier.
Looking for recommendations on:
(any general suggestions/tips are welcome)
Thank you!

Tuning so far:
- Replaced 16" stock wheels w/ 17" Borbet Type RE wheels wrapped in Continental ExtremeContact DSW06 Plus's
- Bosch Double Iridium spark plugs
- Engine flush & fuel system cleaning
- Switched to full synthetic oil & 91 octane fuel
These changes alone have this car riding better than factory new imo. Shifts are quicker/smoother, throttle response is better, car seems a lot punchier.
Looking for recommendations on:
- best/safest way to lower suspension by 1.25"
- ECU remap/performance chips
- how to get a throatier engine sound without replacing exhaust system
(any general suggestions/tips are welcome)
Thank you!
