I had hope Kia would have added this engine to the Forte to compete against the Focus ST but sadly it never happened.

I think it's the 3.3L twin turbo as shown in the photos. 2.0L has white lettering, only one air intake on the left side, and noticeably smaller size.

Oh thank you. Wonderful photos.

I really like the yellow paint, suits the Stinger pretty well.

Engine looks a tat small in that engine bay, don't you think?

Still nicely positioned right on top of the front axle.

Probably looks that way cos of the plastic engine cover which sticks up. Below that the turbo, exhaust and inlet manifolds would fill up the engine bay nicely! More bay space would also be good for a bigger turbo and plumbing perhaps

I agree bigger turbo should make that look good. But right now it does look small compared to the 3.3T lol.

Might look even smaller if you take out the plastic engine cover. I'll take photos of the 2.0 engine without the cover once I get a hold of my stinger.
