2014 Hyundai Genesis R-spec 5.0 with BTR tune Dyno Day

[@nicko9725]

I just stumbled on these. Had seen one or two in the wild but never new how underrated they were. Looking for a good one now. Minor mods and a tune will make a perfect daily to whip butt if necessary. Maybe even a small 75-100 shot to really make a point.

Yeah if u wanna blow the pistons out the top

[@anthonymoore4096]

I have a 13 r-spec. It is 100% factory. I took it to the track right after I bought it. It ran a 13.1 1st pass. I was so impressed with a car that weighs 4200 lbs

[@vincentprice9992]

I haven't taken the Genny to the track yet but I'm gonna soon since I've done all the upgrades that are currently available for it. It's my daily driver and I can't say enough about how good the car is...

[@6.2Slomaro]

Wow that’s really impressive how did you achieve that? Traction on/off? Brake torque at what rpm?

[@michaelgomez0807]

Good time! fastest I seen was a guy on the forum 12.6 . Couple on there hitting 12s.

[@lambokiller99]

Best time I got was with secondary cat deletes and a KN drop in filter. 12.66 @112mph using a dragy device. A well kept 5.0 is definitely capable of getting into the high 12s range.

[@johnathanbuckner1206]

Can’t wait to get my hands on one this was all I was waiting on was some kinda tuning to get more power out of it cause I felt like she had way more in the tank when I test drive it

[@Turtle_Legs]

Its definitely an upgrade, but if you are really into modding and tuning, then just know the market for these cars are small. I Went from a 2009 4.6 to a 2015 5.0, and it took 3 years of owning my 4.6 until I starting seeing mods actually being developed for those cars at reasonable prices, currently waiting to see more put out for the 2015-2016 model years. If you do feel the itch though, I suggest having a secondary car that has a lot of aftermarket support, so you can build and tune to your hearts content.

[@robertrodriguez8167]

Hello,Sir, do you have any products for the 4.6l Genesis?

[@vincentprice9992]

Robert Rodriguez BTR has ECUs and TCUs for the 4.6 as well as Magnaflow has an exhaust

[@GarthC]

Robert you can get second cat deletes. They are the same ones that go on the 3.8L. Removing these makes a noticeable difference in throttle response and the exhaust sounds better. At least get a drop in K&N filter. Remove the resonator right before the throttle body. Can use 1.5” PVC with cap but you will need to file/sand down the end that goes into the stock intake as it is a little too thick. Paint it black. Also, in the air box there is a foam filter in the top cover. Remove that and then at the bottom there is a trap door style flapper that you can remove by taking out one screw. A guy on eBay has Magnaflow exhaust shipped for $754. Should be getting mine in next week.

@@smallblockbug if you haven't found anything 10fintec took over for btr tunes. they sell the equal tunes but you need to send in your ecu and tcu for the greatest results. a guy sent his ecu and tcu and he got charged 1900. they're in Canada so shipping could be harder. i would recommend doing porting, custom modifications and let them know about it so your tune can have the greatest results. there is a 50 shot of nitrous you can throw at the car if you don't want to tune it but the these motors are dangerous so I wouldn't do that only on the 4.6 tau. the transmission valvebody can be upgraded and maybe transmission could be bulletproofed? the 8 speed I'm not too sure about. as much info I know.
