brian asked:
I am about to purchase an hks blow off valve kit and dont trust myself to install it…how much would it cost to get this professionally done? also is a turbo upgrade on the gensis cheaper than a bolt on turbo kit? how much would that cost?
the full turbo kit will do something/the blow-up will do nothing but void the warranty/thats a computer controlled engine with the latest tech applied and the factory engineers wont let any mods work/save your money
Not sure which Genny you’re talking about but the 2.0T is HIGHLY tunable
“GReddy Performance Parts has paired up with Hyundai to begin manufacturing new products for the Hyundai Genesis Coupe that has been raising eyebrows. Expect the new high performance parts to be launched at the 2009 SEMA Show on the GReddy X-Gen Street Genesis Coupe. The production tuning kit will include all the parts needed for the Hyundai Genesis 2.0T engine. The GReddy Total Tune-Up package will be a blend of performance, handling, and braking improvements. Hyundai plans to market the car as a reliable street performance vehicle with a powerful driving experience. At first they plan to increase the numbers to 350 hp and 320 ft lbs of torque, but after the SEMA Show further plans are to push nearly 500 horsepower.”…
The V6 will also has tuning potential but the 4 cyl has a good head start.
While it’s true that doing it yourself will void the warranty Hyundai did have the tuner crowd in mind when making the Genesis. You may want to wait until more aftermarket stuff, like GReddy, comes out so you could have more stuff to choose from. Warranty issues may not come into play if you get stuff sponsored by Hyundai like GReddy.
