the V8 is only for sedan
I voted for the 3.8L...some boost will come later on...don't worry ! (devil)
Ya I'm going for a turbo 4 as well. I just hope the rumors about the weak tranny are not true cuz I want to get around 350HP out of it!!As I mentioned before, me & my bro are getting a Coupe each, one with the turbo 4 & the other with the 6cyl. 6cyl will stay relatively stock, except for cold air intake & exaust, the 4 on the other hand will be extremely modified before its over.:evilgrin:
One thing I do with my cars I modify is wait for a part to need replacing and then replace that part with something aftermarket and performance oriented if possible. This keeps my spending at a manageable pace also. Easy examples of this are air filter/intake, exhaust, brakes, and in your example, the clutch. If you do happen to produce more horsepower than what the stock clutch can handle, then just baby the clutch for a while until it completely burns out. Then replace it with a real clutch and have fun with it! :shifting:Gollum, I'm with you, I was not planning on settling for less than 400Hp,
...
max torque with regards to the tranny, I don't think that includes the clutch. I think I'll pray now.
Ya I'm with you. I'm hoping that the clutch is the weak link. I'm hoping the trannies are like some of the Honda trannies that can take a little bit of abuse. If not I'm hoping that tranny upgrades will be cheap (not cheaply made just affordable). I'm glad to hear that Hyundai usually takes care of the customer too, that is encouraging.Gollum, I'm with you, I was not planning on settling for less than 400Hp, although that much is not probably needed & may create additional traction problems. I just want a Hyundai that is difficult to touch by most other vehicles out there, you know childish bragging rights. I want to show people what Hyundai is capable of. But if what I hear about these trannies is true, they will not hold up to the torque that accompanies that kind of power & I'm not interested in spending the money on a upgraded transmission. As a matter of fact I won't, part of the reason I'm buying this vehicle is the quality & warranty. I know that my mods will void part of that warranty, but I also know that if a defective part is under warranty unless it can be proven that part failed from my mods Hyundai will normally replace it. I want to believe that the clutch is the weak link, but when they are talking about max torque with regards to the tranny, I don't think that includes the clutch. I think I'll pray now.
Normally I would be doing the same thing. In this case though first thing I'm gonna do is take it to the dyno and see what kind of real world power numbers this car will make. Then i'm gonna get my TIG welder out and fab up a new intake and exhaust and re-dyno! I get excited just thinking about it!! WOO HOO!!One thing I do with my cars I modify is wait for a part to need replacing and then replace that part with something aftermarket and performance oriented if possible.

Yeah V6 should be easy to get additional power with the bolt-ons...would definatly love the smell of 3.8 liter V6 N.A. engine with some mods later on smoking other cars
We're gonna find out soon enough... one thing I know is it's neat to get in on the ground floor of a community and watch and learn from the beginning.. I'm going to enjoy the ridei cannot wait to see what the 2.0T does with bpu mods.
