Re: 4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe

I've also heard that there might be a few differences between this engine and the one in the EVO. Most of it is just speculation and assumptions though. Some people think the reason they used the smaller turbo and made it have less hp is so that there would be a reason for people to buy the v6 car. Either way, I'm gonna at least test drive one when they get here and see how it is. One other thing I've heard is the flywheel/clutch is gonna be a weak spot in the drivetrain. I guess they're using some kind of 2 piece flywheel to cut down on vibration and make clutch engagement smoother.
