Yeah, I read somewhere that they're using 2.9bar map sensors.

So any solid word on when these will be at dealerships?

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.

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 ;)

I saw that video yesterday. I'm getting kinda pumped! One more thing, the 4cyl car is supposed to get around 30mpg stock!

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.

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 :)

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.

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.

Hahaha I'm not talking you into anything ;) It's not my fault if you decide to get one!

I am in the market for a new car... Hmm. Brand new around 20k, means lots of money left for mods... haha

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.

Hmm it does look kinda bland. Dished wheels and a massive drop would help.

Looks like a mix between a Pontiac and a Toyota.

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!
