Got this from gencoupe forum. some serious potential here. about $3000 -$3500 worth of upgrades.

that is so bad ***. People are going to realize real quick that they bought a platform that provides them with a detuned 4B11 motor. The same motor that comes in the EVO10 ( detuned ). I cant wait to see what people start doing to these cars. I have a feeling that the tunability of the car will create a good following. I cant believe they squeezed that much power out of the car for just a few grand. Turbo tuning is EASY.... and it just got easier..... and cheap as hell

Nice numbers. It'll be interesting to watch how Hyundai treats the performance folks who up the boost w/ warranty items. It's a new scenario for them to deal with w/ this car.

joe80

anyway that number was achieved after 10 days of purchase. it's just getting started folks.

I figure, like the EVO, you can probably pull close to 380- 400 hp without any major rebuilds.

The warranty issue will always be there , especially if they do turbo swaps etc. I had a service rep ask me if I altered my ECU after I blew an injector and I denied it. They asked again and I denied again and that was that

joe80

yup. this is already near 400hp. very impressive.

Not a big Hyundai fan but numbers don't lie

I think this car will absolutely change the image of the company permanently. They did a great job. Imagine for 22-24k you can buy a platform that you can tune and take to a track and do pretty damn well. There are people out there right now who are going to start pioneering this new ride. Again the 2 liter turbo is the 4B11 motor. Damn good price for what seems to be a damn good car.

Out of curiosity, what kind of HP are these cars putting down stock?

The stock 2.0T and 3.8 put out 216 and 306HP at the flywheel, respectively.

I'm a little jealous at the ease of adding serious power to 2.0L, but props to Hyundai.

Impressive numbers, time will tell how the block and trans will handle power. Got to keep my eye out for these cars on the road, I should be good for now though ha ha.

Blah, flywheel/BHP numbers mean nothing unless you're in the marketing department...

Any baseline runs done before the turbo for this car?

Cabinetman

Hyundai knew what they were doing when they released the Genesis with a detuned 2.0L turbo powerplant. Even in their press releases they hinted to the tuning potential of the turbo engine. I think it is great that there is now a affordable RWD car with this much tuning potential.

Why didn't they dyno it stock and then bpu and then apu, so people can see baseline numbers and so on? WTF? (Nevermind; found the info myself: http://genesisowners.com/hyundai-gen...7&postcount=17)

Time for me to roll up to the hyundai dealership for a test drive......just spoke to Ourisman Hyundai of Laurel and they have a 2.0T Track version in stock that I can take out....woohoo!
