hey does anyone know of any good websites that would contain the mods for the 2.0T it seems like everything is specifically for the 3.8. I know I went with the pussy engine but it still has as much balls!

2.0T takes mods a whole lot better from what I hear. I would have gone with the turbo also it seems like it would fit better for tuners.

Yes, I actually heard the same thing. I'm sure you can make a good amount of power quickly with the 2.0T versus the 3.8. While with the 3.8 you could put on a huge turbo / supercharger.... that would also cost an arm and a leg. But, as with anything else, people are making a ton of power with forced induction on 2.0L engines, just talk to TalonIV, drxlcarfreak, MoparDSM, etc etc. I'll put it like this.... even though it's a boxer, there's a reason the new WRX / STi will be 2.0L Also heard that turbo stock can take a beating (turn up the boost!), but that's hearsay, wouldn't count on my word. Like Bryzee said, I believe there would be much more aftermarket support than the 3.8, is that an incorrect assumption?

Rocky is pretty much right. While the 3.8 may have more power from the factory, the 2.0 was always designed to have a turbo, which means it was built with boost in mind. The 3.8 may be able to get away with some mods, but it is probably close to maxed out without reinforcing the internals. The 2.0 was already made to handle XXpsi of boost, and was made to handle the variations that boost provides, so you can turn up the boost, put a bigger turbo on, etc. I actually know of a guy who was actually working on a compound turbo system for a 2.0 Genesis, so he must have been able to push a pretty decent amount of boost through the engine!

Awesome thanks, I have to say that the 2.0T base model is pretty much as good as the r-spec. I just don't have the Brembo system. Which is one of my goals down the road. I've just seen a lot of mods for the 3.8 and not near as many for the 2.0. But maybe I'm not looking in the right areas.

Take a look at this: http://www.gencoupe.com/2-0t/35714-tony20tgen-stage-3-build-thread.html I havent followed the thread for awhile, but he had some pretty insane plans for his 2.0T. There are a bunch of threads here too: http://www.gencoupe.com/2-0t/

one of the best mods i have seen tested in dsport magazine is some kind of aftermarket engine management. upwards of 100 foot pounds can be got with one model

Huh, don't think I saw that one. Makes sense though. You have to believe that they highly under-tune those engines, considering it's Hyundai. But 100 lb-ft??? That's more than 30% increase over stock. As a result, I wonder if the rest of the powertrain can handle it, thus being the limiting factor in the setup. Are there any references regarding what it can handle?

Wow im slow at realizing other areas are opened up here... anywho... also remember the 2.0 in the Genesis is based off of Mitsu's 4B11T. Not exactly a 4B11T but close. So i would imagine you can take it pretty far and be fairly safe. I know right now there are more mods out for the 2.0 but thats already gone over lol.
If you talk the talk, you better crankwalk the walk.
