Nordgrey Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Had a CAI installed today, now the turbo actually sounds like a turbo! That nice whiiiiiiiiiiiine psssssh! LOL Had the stereo off the whole way home just listening to it. Was stopped next to a Mountie at a light and just could not resist, gunned it, his head snaps over and sees my , shakes his head, grins and procedes to get right in front of me doing exactly the speed limit the whole way home. Before After Wish Hyundai had not gone the route they did with basically silencing the turbo, but I understand why. Likely would have been hords of people coming to complain that their car had an air leak somewhere. Oh, and apologies for the dirty engine bay in the after, it was still hot when I got home and I guess the guys at the dealership were out of hand cleaner.....LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewy Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 Now put a blow off valve on it... I've been tempted to do this with our Subie but I don't think the wife would think kindly to it... lol Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikegeaney Posted May 3, 2010 Share Posted May 3, 2010 I want a Turbo!!! The cops here call your take off at the light...Improper Start and heres your ticket. I got one in Massachusetts, some time ago, for "Exhibition of Speed". I wasn't moving all that quickly at the time but the 50ft posi slab I left behind, as well as the smoke billowing out the wheel wells, wasn't appreciated.

dave_zok Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 An intake will deffinity make the stock by pass valve louder. Nice intake, the genesis is a nice car. I have an STI and the intake is almost too loud. A BOV would be very annoying. But Personl preferance. Nice car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure it's totally true but something about the intake snorkel between the hood and radiator support. Ours is stage II Cobb with up and down pipes and a foam filter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_zok Posted May 13, 2010 Share Posted May 13, 2010 ^^^ i think an intake on a STI or WRX actually is bad for it. I had a perrin and now i have the stock air box back in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbohcar Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 For the WRX, you are correct. It is difficult to put a decent intake on the Suby because the stock MAF sensor is very sensitive to changes like that. I had a friend that was big into them and worked on his car a bit. He ended up getting his computer flashed by Cobb Tuning in order to use it. As for the Hyundai, I'd be interested to see more pictures of the turbo and the stock bypass valve (blowoff valve). Chances are there are easier/cheaper/safer ways to make the bypass noise louder rather than ponying up for a new aftermarket unit. If I was in the market I'd definitely consider one of those 2-door Genesis cars! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordgrey Posted May 18, 2010 Author Share Posted May 18, 2010 Here is the stock (less the CAI) engine bay on a 2.0 putting about 187 hp to the rear wheels. Here is the engine bay of a somewhat modified 2.0 putting about 544 hp to the rear wheels on race gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbohcar Posted May 18, 2010 Share Posted May 18, 2010 Here's your solution, found on the Buschur Racing website. Might I say, I've dealt with these guys before and had some of their products on my Eagle Talon AWD turbo back in the day. They are top notch and their products are too! Turns out you can turn the boost up 2psi from stock but you'll need a new blow off valve in order to run higher boost, the stock one will leak at higher boost levels. This will get your woommmmpshhhhhhh sound! Here's what i found: Once we got the car back together from the R&D of some of our parts, put it on the dyno and tried turning up the boost we immediately found the stock BOV to be just one issue that needed to be addressed before furthering the path with the Coupe. Friday we finished the solution to our BOV problem. I was able to drive the car about 300 miles this weekend. No issues at all. The BOV works great. We decided on a TiAL 50mm BOV as this is a valve we have ran for years with great success and performance. The TiAL units are a very high quality BOV while also being available in a variety of different colors such as silver, black, blue, red and purple.

GGEVOXFTMFW Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Why'd you have the dealership install the intake for you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordgrey Posted May 20, 2010 Author Share Posted May 20, 2010 Lack of tools, lack of anywhere to do it and the fact that the front of the car needs to come off to get it in.....LOL More than worth the $100 to have them do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understandable, from what ive read my evo motor is based of your motor. Mistu took the world based engine and named it 4B11 for their own purposes.

Nordgrey Posted May 21, 2010 Author Share Posted May 21, 2010 That's my understanding as well. From what I can gather at the Gencoupe web forum, Hyundai dialed it back a bit from your evo version. Probably since it was their first turbo'd rwd car. Less chance of problems etc I guess. Wish they hadn't, since I am not going to be messing around with flashing etc, but it gives the folks more room to play with, like the geologist from Vegas above.......LOL. Aside from my wheels, as they take the grand tour of North America getting here, I really only plan to do the exhaust, especially now that I have found a 3" hi flo secondary cat to put in front of a good cat back system.
