Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
Yeah, I read somewhere that they're using 2.9bar map sensors.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
So any solid word on when these will be at dealerships?
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
I keep hearing late Feb early March, but no solid date yet. They're sitting in the ports on the west coast waiting to get shipped out though.
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
I bet they are waiting for the website to be finalized with all the options and stuff.

Video footage of the thing, and yea, I guess the commercial's gonna be in the superbowl. Please note the camera car at 2:10, gotta have something nice and fast to stay in front of this thing ;) |
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
I saw that video yesterday. I'm getting kinda pumped! One more thing, the 4cyl car is supposed to get around 30mpg stock!

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
Found some pics of the car with the GT30, and PROSS tuning has already made a tubular manifold for it. The GT30 is top mounted, but it looks like there'll be plenty of room for those that want to go bigger. The PROSS manifold puts the turbo down in the stock location.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
man thats sexy.
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
I think I'd almost want to go with a top-mount...longitudinal motors were meant to have a turbo sitting right next to the valve cover, and a big, sexy SMIM on the other side :)
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
It may be shiny, but the design is far from optimal. It is a 4-2-1 design, they put 2 runners together before it gets to the turbo, which you may not have noticed. Also the angles where that happens are poor, as is the entry angle for the bottom pipe going in to the turbo. Packaging looks tight so I am sure they had to make some concessions, but they could have made the angles better at least. As we have seen with turbo stuff though, it will probably work nearly as good as a perfectly designed one.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
I'm thinking a top mounted GT3076 will be plenty for what I wanna do ;) Also, my last post was edited to add one more pic I forgot to post.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
Kevin, if you talk me into buying one of these, Anna is gonna fuking kill you!
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
Hahaha I'm not talking you into anything ;) It's not my fault if you decide to get one!
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
I am in the market for a new car... Hmm. Brand new around 20k, means lots of money left for mods... haha
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
Any word on how good/bad the chassis and transmission are?
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
They don't look as good in recent pictures I've seen on google, but probably because they have massive wheel gap. Maybe the front end reminds me of a Tiburon.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
Hmm it does look kinda bland. Dished wheels and a massive drop would help.
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
Looks like a mix between a Pontiac and a Toyota.
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
Not much word on the drivetrain yet. Though the flywheel/clutch on the 6 speed will definitely be a weak spot due to the 2pc. flywheel. The chassis is supposedly pretty stiff. They used a lot of high carbon steel, to make it as stiff as possible while keeping weight as low as possible. I forget exactly what the numbers are, but it's supposed to be something like, 20% stiffer than an M3
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
A drop, wheels and tinted windows would help a ton. It looks like the color will make a big difference too. The silver isn't bad, but I don't like the red at all. Looks like a sweet deal!
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
I'm partial to the white one.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
Dang that thing cleans up nicely!
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
I'm trying to picture what it'll look like when everyone hacks the hell out of the stock bumper to get more airflow to a FMIC.
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
Wow, a drop makes a bigger difference than I thought it would! That looks nice.
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
The white car has a v-mount intercooler/radiator setup. I dunno why he blocked off the lower part of the grille though.
http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...1_IMG_1986.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...1_IMG_2019.jpg This is a body kit HKS made for it. The front bumper looks pretty clean. http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g...347cd231_o.jpg This interior color option will only be a premium V6 option, but I like it. http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g..._01_02_002.jpg http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/g..._01_02_006.jpg |
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
I was just going to ask about the interior! Looks better than I expected! When do these start coming out? lol

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe

And WOW, those look great, didn't expect that much of an improvement. Now I want. |
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
I thought the Genesis already came out and it turned out to be a v6 fwd?
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
wow a drop and wheels really clean these up nicely!
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
The Genesis Sedan came out last fall. It's a v6, or v8 RWD sedan.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
Definitely look a lot nicer once modded!

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
I read it is "24% stiffer chassis than BMW M3"
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
looks hot with the drop and diff rims on it
|
Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
That interior is pretty nice, way nicer then Evo interiors IMO.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
Wow, heavy little piggies. I figured it would be a lot lighter than that, like sub-3000.

Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe
looks really good. the body kit is not half bad on it
