Nice!! I wouldnt mind one myself.

it will use the 4b11 engine, not exactly what the new Evos have, but all from the same family

i definitely expect the genesis to have as much(if not more due to its RWD platform) potential as an Evo!

you can expect parts from evos 4B11's to be swapped into genesis in the near future

i will definitely be test driving one of these once they hit the showroom floors

Dang i want one even more. But i am gonna turbo the tC and have fun with that for a few years then step up to maybe a lux rwd coupe or maybe a lux 4dr sedan to tune.

chicotunner07

thats the first thing i did when i read about it, didnt find it there

pick up a copy of february 2009 Super Street, page 20

they have a feature on the HKS Genesis Coupe, under engine its listed as a 4B11

here what they wrote :

For the first time Hyundai is offering up a real performance-oriented vehicle. Taking an already popular Mitsubishi 2.0L turbocharged 4B11 engine mating it longitudinally to a RWD chassis looks like it might be the key to their underground succes.


i dont just make stuff up..........at least not all the time! lol

I had a Hyundai new, and put 75000 miles on it, nothing major went wrong, ran good, but whats gonna get you is the resale sucked a$$, it only had 75000, paint and body and int was in good shape, but resale value was 2500.... blaaa
Thats where your gonna find the difference, If your gonna ditch in in a few years your gonna loose money more then normal with honda/toyota, etc

JDMJim

resale sucks on ant car with alot of miles. for the record, Hyundai had borrowed Mitsu engine parts for a pretty long time

yeah its not really a 4B11 just a derivative of that engine, just like the engine in the dodge neons are.

so basically its the same 2.0L that was in the tiburon but turboed... and them things could hold a lot of boost for a stock engine.

JDMJim

I've heard there is almost as much aftermarket for this car than the tC. yikes. the defectors are lining up.

unxpectederror

there was already an aftermarket for the car even before it came out lol. Hyundai knew that they needed a strong aftermarket for this car to make a big splash. so they worked with a bunch of different tuners and aftermarket suppliers since its announcement.

this car is already destined to be the next big tuner car

I would be defecting if i didnt have a few more years on my loan and a turbo kit in the works.

JDMJim

you can always defect. payments or not. just a matter of how soon you want the performance and be a drifter

i like the side shots, the only thing i dont like is that hanging rear window, and the front looks a little funky

Man if only my tC weren't coming close to being paid off i'd snap up one of the 2.0t ones in a second haha
