Driveable, Comfortable, Reliable + Power for my DD any day....

But nonetheless, there is no "right" and "wrong" in this scenario. It's just what you prefer.

 

^amen now lets go ahead and wrap this thread up =]

 

Since I really do not know alot about boosting this might seem like a stupid question but.....If the speed governor was removed, would a turbo tc be able to acheive a higher top speed than the current 127 or w/e it is?

 

Yes and doesn't have to be turbo to pass the governor.

 

Yeah, your car especially. Your car is FAST, tons of power! I love seeing the look on people's faces when they see you autocross and hear your BOV lol. Sorry, didn't see this post before, but yeah, I autocrossed yesterday.

 

Come on though....it's factory turbo and it still runs 15's in the 1/4. Can't overlook that for the sake of interior.

 

I test drove the 2.0t, and never got the chance to drive the 3.8. My first reaction after driving off the lot, was "where's the boost?" 3300lbs and 185whp just isn't all that exhilarating.

 

Reason why I'm not getting one. What were they smoking seriously. I can see if they left a lot of room in terms of tuning the motor, but that's not the case either, as it can barely hold any significant amount of power unless extensively modded. Perhaps I'm prematurely passing judgement, but I'm just not seeing it in the 2.0t.

 

The reason they did it, was cost. You can get a base 2.0t for under $21,000. Sure it's slow out the door, but a reflash alone bumps it up an extra 35whp/50wtq. Or you could do what I was going to do, get the 3.8, which is equally mod friendly.

 

And at 3300lbs its still slow. It would be great if it was just a little lighter. I decided to just hold out for the FT-86 instead.

 

thats what i was saying i thought the 2.0t was on point with the v6 but instead it turned out to be slow and heavy cant wait to see the first big turbo swap on one

how much power can stock block take?

 

I have a feeling Hyundai has a little something up their sleeve for the FT-86. Something along the lines of a ~290HP 2.0L, 30+ MPG re-vamp for the Gen Coupe.

 

that would be sick the forte coupe is nice already and bolt ons are already coming out for them

 

I haven't payed any attention to the Gen Coupe world since November, but back then there were a few 500+whp 2.0t's, and I knew of 1 person who was DD'ing @ 382WHP.

The V6 on the other hand, I have no clue.

 

thats sick power out of a 2L very nice

 

Don't do any good if its the weight of a tank.

 

I haven't seen a 2.0t over 280whp, so if you could find links to some 500whp ones that would be great.

 

Did a search for 500whp Gen Coupe 2.0T. Couldn't find one, but did find a 344whp one. Mods:

New turbo kit w/GT30r turbo
New Intercooler
New Fuel setup
New Downpipe
New Cat-back
and an AEM FIC.

Basically everything was changed.

 

How about new engine lol. That's like putting a whole turbo kit to a n/a car.

 

You sound unimpressed....LOL. I know I feel the same. I expect more from an already factory turboed car. But take a look at the MazdaSpeed3's. Same thing with them. Their fuel setup is an Achilles heel. They blow up REAL easy, which is retarded for a factory boosted car.
