4b11t going into new RWD Hyundai coupe

[FattyBoomBatty]

yeah, that's a heavy car for being so small. All that amazing high carbon steel should have been replaced with aluminum. Then it would cost 30k.

It is the same size as an M3 and weighs over 200 lbs less...

I want that 2.0T R-spec model! Just like an EVO rs and cheaper that the regular 2.0t Track!

[Shane@DBPerformance]

So are the R-Spec the only ones with an LSD rear end?

The 2.0T models are going to be dogs in stock form at that wieght and if they only really make the rated HP. It's like the power to weight ratio of an NA Supra or SC300.

I am seriously considering putting off a house for this car. lol. My girlfriend doesn't like that idea.

All 4 cylinders can get the brembos, LSD, sport suspension, and 19's as an option package. The R-spec one just gets rid of crap to lighten the car. I think it has cloth seats, no 10 speaker radio, no HIDs, etc. Maybe even a few less airbags?

Eh as for being a dog, they still get 30mpg. So thats kinda what I'd expect. Thats where we come in to up the power!
I'd like to see how the manual transmissions are.

I read about hyundai describing their "low boost" engine as being more refined and smoother. They probably kept the boost low to keep the power low so people would buy the v6... It even makes peak torque at like 2000 rpm.

Yea the track model says it has the LSD and pretty much all the r-spec performance options. I wonder what the black leather with red cloth inserts will look like compared to the all black cloth seats... It would be nice if they offered different color inserts to match the car color maybe, or at least something besides red.

I would buy a house while prices are down and interest rates are extremely low, you never know when interest rates could be back in the 10-16% range like in the 80s.

The way Hyundai phrases it as "low boost" engine in their literature makes it almost seem like they are trying to say that you could turn it up.

[JET]

Yeah, a house by far. This looks like an awesome DD though!

[asshanson]

I wonder what the dual continuously variable valve timing means. Just advancing/retarding or different lifts too? What does Hyundai have on their other cars?

Also how does it detect if you have premium or regular fuel? Just senses knock and changes timing maps or lowers boost?

[A//// Guy]

Im guessing both cams have the ability to advance retard. Like vtec, mivec and vanos.

Evo MIVEC just has advance retard, but I believe the 4G MIVEC is way better and also has different lift/duration profiles, like Honda VTEC.

From the sounds of it, the R-Spec is gonna have all the performance stuff of the Track package, it just won't have the leather, the sound system, or the HIDs. The LSD rear end will only come on the Track, and R-spec versions for the 2.0, and only the Track package for the v6. I'm still planning on the 2.0 with the track package.

The CVVT is just advance and retard for both cams. There are no lift or duration changes. Each cam is individually advanced/retarded depending on engine rpm and load.

It sounds like they're running something like 8 or 9 psi stock, so I'm sure that with an MBC there's plenty more to be pulled out of the stock turbo. And with the higher compression ratio, it shouldn't take as much boost to make decent power.

R-Spec sounds like my kinda car

Me too, it's supposed to be available a little later than the rest of the cars.
