Sadly, they don't say if there are a bunch of mods on it already, but I'm not thinking that there are...

That's kyles car. He posted that up in his SFR d-day thread also. He has a bunch of prototype parts on it: cat less dp, exhaust, fmic and the 845 intake.

Yup still bone stock averaged +-40hp & tq

 

[lagonwagon]

I didn't think that there were any stock ones. Intake and exhaust at least.

 

[3Sxturbo]

You might be right about that
Though honestly if you're getting a tune that should be the minimum dinner before hand to maximize gain

Should be right around 40 no matter what unless you got full bolt ons like myself then you can squeeze a little more out

This is fantastic news. Always nice to see more aftermarket development for the VT. This does lead to many questions.

Can the stock internal, valvetrain, cooling and transmission handle the extra power? How much margin is left? I suspect that no one knows at the moment.

Does the canned tune also raise the fuel cutoff to 7200rpm or remain stock?

Can the tune be used with regular gas or is this a 91/93 octane tune?

As far as the motor, you are correct. We don't know what pushes this engine over the edge yet, but as Hyundai expects to sell these with a 10 year/100K (miles) warrantee, we can expect that they aren't dialed right down to the factory numbers.

As for the fuel, you can get the tune (custom) dialed in for any octane you want to fill with. Granted your returns will be better on the premium fuels... But whatever flys for you.

The reflashes are typically 91 minimum. The higher octane is one of the things that helps increase the power.

The Genesis Coupe's weak spot is the clutch. Its usually the next mod most people get after the reflash lol. Until people start breaking things, we wont know where the VTs weaknesses are.

yea clutch is holding for now ... hopefully i dont start breaking anything lol

With all your mods, you will probably be the first

Another common weakspot of the Gen is the intake manifold. Whats the VTs made out of?

Plastic...

BOOM! Thats what the GC's is made out of lol.
Blew intake manifold - Genesis Forum: GenCoupe Hyundai Genesis Forums
Add that to the list of potential weak points.

many intake manifolds are made out of plastic now, it seems like it's a manufactures defect as tunes shouldnt break manifolds

The newer mustangs have plastic to. When i had my vortech on my GT i could watch the manifold expand greatly when it was on the dyno. Im not a huge fan of them tbh.

when i had my ion procharged i ran a plastic manifold for a while.. then i found out that the saab 9-3s worked very well so i grabbed one of those.. we were talking about an intake manifold.. I'll just have to do alot of research before I commit to that, DI is very picky with intake air delivery

 

[UHF3]

Many cars use plastic intakes these day. It's a nasty trend that started at least 15 years ago.

When i had my vortech on my GT i could watch the manifold expand greatly when it was on the dyno.

That must have been pretty disturbing to see.

 

[GT800]

It wasnt pleasent considering theres a video of a shop in Florida blowing apart at like 25 psi and a piece of the plastic flies 20 feet across the room and almost takes out the camera!

 

[MyDianaZ06]

odd. I never considered something like that being plastic. I've never owned anything newer than my 93 accord that I mod. it has a metal or alloy whatever kind of metal intake. most Hondas get skunk2 intakes after a swap usually. I never did.

is there a company that makes aftermarket intake manifolds for the gen coupes that are metal? maybe we can have them make one for us.

alot of 13' guys are swapping to the 10-12 manifold ... not sure how I feel about them using a EFI manifold on a DI car though
