2009 Hyundai "RWD" Coupe

Comfortable? In what way? Tuning the engine will not change the comfort level.

The 2.0T with the same suspension as the 3.8 is about 1.7m already... but if there are aftermarket parts out for the Genesis already, you can get a "base" 2.0 T within spitting distance of the 3.8's performance (we get the track spec 3.8, I believe) for a lot less than the cost of the 3.8. Power tuning should be easy. Chipping will give you about 30-40 more HP, upgrading the turbo another 50 more (don't know if the the engine can handle it, though), so it is probably possible within a budget.

The only thing is... I doubt the 2.0T can match the sound quality of the V6, no matter how you tune it.

well said!  :thumbsup:

that's big hp!     but what's up with the torque figure?

I think you might be wondering why they don't intersect at the usual "5250 rpm", but that's because the measurement of torque here is in Kg-M instead of the usual lb-ft.

Either way, 61.75 Kg-M is huge! That's about 440lb-ft roughly. For contrast the US-spec STi makes less than 42Kg-M.

hard lang to package the turbo on a v6. lalo na if the engine bay is tight.
