KDM Tuners source listing

KDM Tuners combines forged pistons, connecting rods, bearings, gaskets and fasteners for a Gamma 1.6T engine rebuild. Engine, piston, main-fastener and optional valve-spring choices must match the intended build.

Fitment & application
  • Gamma 1.6T (2013–2018), or the source-designated Gamma II 1.6T with 10:1 compression in equipped 2019+ models. Confirm the engine and piston selection before ordering.
  • The 2019+ condition applies only to models equipped with the specified Gamma II engine; it does not establish fitment for every Hyundai/Kia 1.6T.
  • Optional ARP 10mm main studs are not a drop-in replacement.
Features & specifications
  • Choice of 77.5mm Traum 9.5:1 or 10:1 pistons, or 77.5mm JE 9.5:1 pistons.
  • Molnar 4340 H-beam connecting rods with 3/8-inch ARP2000 bolts.
  • Optional Supertech beehive valve springs.
  • OEM main bolts: 9mm × 1.5 thread. Optional ARP main studs: 10mm × 1.25.
  • ARP2000 head studs: 6-inch length, with specialty/customized nuts for HPFP and cam-sensor clearance.
What is included
  • Selected forged pistons
  • Molnar H-beam connecting rods
  • King Bi-Metal main bearings
  • OEM rod and thrust bearings
  • OEM gasket rebuild kit
  • Selected OEM main bolts or ARP 10mm main studs
  • ARP head-stud kit
Required parts & machine work
  • The ARP main-stud upgrade requires block drilling, Time-Sert installation and align honing.
  • An engine builder must confirm piston compression, clearances and the complete supporting build.
Important product notes
  • KDM reports power-capability claims that depend on supporting modifications; these are not RVE output guarantees. The supplier specifically requires fueling changes and block sleeves for its 600hp claim.
  • Selecting Supertech springs adds them to the kit; they are not included when No is selected.
Supplier production notes
  • KDM states a conditional 4–8 week wait if kit components require manufacture. This supplier statement is not an RVE dispatch commitment.

Supplier guidance is not an RVE dispatch or delivery commitment. Confirm timing with RVE before ordering.
