4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe

[sleepydsm]

Old news....

I have been following and posting about this car as have others for awhile!

Hyundai's plant here is one of the most automated manufacturing plants in the country, they run lights out. It is very sophisticated and neat!

I have been eyeing these up with thoughts of interchangeble parts with the new evo and such, RWD would be fun, Brembos and Limited slip are optional, so you can get a base model 4 banger with the cool stuff. Hyundai even let a lot of aftermarket companys get a sneak peak at these cars; they all went right to the turbo 4 model! I guess there is a motor mount in the way that might limit turbo size, but eh I'm sure someone could fab a manifold to get around it.

Lol... I never said it was new news. This thread is from 2007. Just didnt want to create a new thread about it so I posted in here.

Just curious who has been looking at them and to see if there is anything else new with them. I'm quite interested.

From everything I've read, all I have ever heard 100% is that the car will have a 4b11, and it will be turbo. BUT, there is the standard 4b11, and the beefed up 4b11t that went into the evo's. What I have not heard 100% is if this car will have the beefed up 4b11t, or just the standard (not as beefy) 4b11 with a turbo slapped on it.

If you have links, please share because I really want to know. This would be an awesome car to have I think.

I was just thinking about this the other day. haha I didn't know they were planning on releasing it already! I might have to look into it...

Motor mount in the way? Are they dumb or something? Either that or the engine is so low that the mount is on the side of the engine.

But yeah, moving the turbo location isn't a problem.

I've been doing some research on this car tonight, and it looks like there's plenty of room for upgraded turbos. It looks like the turbo is some variant of a TD04, and the manifold looks like it'll need to be upgraded pretty with the turbo. Judging by the size of the exhaust ports, I don't think head flow will be an issue.

Damn... What is a 14b going to be the first upgrade? At least its not reverse flow like Evo's.
