How to Build a 500 WHP Genesis G70 For Under $2,000!

[@devious.g70]

Currently sitting at 480hp in mine after just basic mods. When I get an intercooler and CPI I will sit around 550-600hp

i just got 2025 genesis g70 prestige 4 days ago i have stock 365HP I'm trying to get up to 400+ range without putting too much money and losing too much fuel economy lol, is that possible? would you please provide any guidance? plus is there anyway to update my exhaust system to get some nice volume to it without losing my warranty protection? thanks in advance :)

[@devious.g70]

@@wmurad161 Nice, all g70 3.3t come stock at 365hp. I would look into Burger Motorsport Intakes and the JB4. They have a kit on their website that has everything you need. You could choose to stay at 400hp or go up with the JB4.

[@devious.g70]

@@wmurad161 I would get the burger motorsports 450hp setup. I started with that and noticed a significant increase in hp

[@ryanserrano4737]

Have any of Y’all already run with them Q50’s?? I wanna know if g70 can actually hang with them or even beat them ?

[@kathleenoneill9566]

Spent several years in the wholesale exhaust and emission controls business here in GA. The penalty for replacing or removing catalytic converters can be quite costly if you're found out. I'm sure other states are similar.. Oh, and I own a 2023 G70 3.3 AWD and it's great.

[@blakejones2411]

Only upgrade 1 set of downpipes, either primary or secondary, not both. Without enough back pressure, it will blow the seals put of the stock turbos for these cars. Bulliten even put out by Kia/Genesis stating it. Common issue for those with both catless primary and secondary downpipes on the G70 or Stinger

[@demetriusjohnson4231]

that myth got debunked last year

[@blakejones2411]

@demetriusjohnson4231 can you share the proof of that? Not saying it's not true but I'd like to view it myself

[@demetriusjohnson4231]

@@blakejones2411he has a 2018 stinger with over 100k miles. As you may know the 17-21 models came with the honeywell turbos vs the 22+ garrett turbos that are slightly improved. But he's been fully catless for a while and doesn't smoke at all. Seen it in person too

[@fishingstix610]

Where can I buy sparkplugs intake intercooler tune and dual downpipe for 2k?

[@8020Media]

F - Unfortunately, prices have gone up since our original article on this. However, you could certainly scrap these together for $2k, just may not be all new products, especially if you DIY the installs.

[@drumtimer]

Im already at 500 whp and 614ft lb torque. What I need is more traction. Can you recommend the best rear tire and also the specs for the alloy wheel with the correct offset to run a 285, and or 305 mm with tire for a 2023?

[@shootingstarZz999]

what are the best intakes? i also want to get the LED ram air intakes that sit in the grill, but i wanna change the factory boxes.

Where's your video for above 500 whp? I Want to watch it

L - We haven't recorded it yet. However, it is on our list!

[@henryburch7079]

I currently have a 2021 Genesis g70 3.3t. I want to do one mod at a time that way I enjoy each mod more. I would like to start with a CAI or midpipes. Which do you think has a more significant power gain on its own? I would like to start with that one. I would probably do the K&N CAI or the Arc catless Midpipes. Thanks!

[@8020Media]

H - Midpipes for sure. But the ones you are saying aren't emissions legal, just keep that in mind.

[@henryburch7079]

@@8020Media I live in Texas. Does that change anything? Also, I would only be taking off one set of cats, I would keep the primary. I’m not familiar with the laws

[@8020Media]

H - One of us lives in TX and the county we live in is doing away with emission checks.. Would be beneficial to look up the law in your county or find a mechanic that turns a blind eye. We can't advise this, however, of course.

[@user-hx8fn2he9q]

OK QUESTION: if I do the mods bringing the car up to 500 WHP, can the rest of the driveline and transmission handle that power no problem?

[@8020Media]

M - We make these videos for safe levels. So yes, but not much more!

[@Steve-Mcgarrett]

What about valve springs & injectors. Should be necessary with tuning?

[@8020Media]

S - Wouldn't be a bad idea, but not entirely necessary.

[@Synful_]

I don't have one but is it all compatible with the gv70 that would be sick

[@8020Media]

S - Not quite the same.

[@ItzzShazey]

@@keyshawnsim5130 I know you are going for the 2.0 because it is cheaper but the 3.3 is not way more expensive and the difference in power is definitely worth it and you wont regret it.

If you want to mod say good bye to your mpg . People who bought the 3.3t didn't get for gas mileage.
