Best Genesis Coupe Performance Mods

[@kingskarlet5597]

All you videos really help thanks I just bought a 3.8

[@RspecNick]

Glad they could help 👌

[@ermin0615]

Your car looks so good btw!

[@RspecNick]

Thanks man 👌

[@GothicTech]

For me it would be in this order: 1-Radiator/oil cooler (I live in a really hot place) 2-bigger breaks/better tires 3- inlet manifold spacer 4- electronic throttle controller 5-intake 6-lighter Polly 7-tune/exhaust

[@RspecNick]

I Agree man yes I have alot of those minus bigger brakes,throttle controller,lighter pulleys and tune

[@Dragon-hu7pt]

You think the throttle controller will fuck up my car in the long run ?

[@Psythik]

@@timportelance8565 The nice thing about the throttle controller though is that you can put it in eco mode any time you want to save gas and get better MPG than stock. The anti-theft function is nice too.

[@jasonyakovlev4056]

nice car! looks really good! where did you get your lip, side skirts, and diffuser?

[@RspecNick]

Thanks man and I got all of my aero from (street aero) if you search them up on Instagram they have a link for everything.

[@TrainerCTZ]

@@RspecNick Aero is the best I've seen. Is the kit a specific model?

[@RspecNick]

@@TrainerCTZ it's just the street aero kit with winglets. It should fit both bk1 and bk2 with minor changes for the bk1 bumper.

[@groovyguy5630]

I just bought my bk2, and the first thing I bought was BC coilovers last week, and ima get wheels and tires and a lip later this week😏

[@RspecNick]

Ayeee its gonna look clean

[@davidh9633]

Looking good Nick! Thanks for that back end, I've been wanting to see what the red spec d look like on a black bk2. Definately gotta pull the trigger now.

[@RspecNick]

Thanks man 👌 honestly I went with the red spec Ds cause I wanted that kind of OEM look plus im not really feeling the white spec Ds they would throw the color scheme off on my car.

[@cooleydread3215]

I just bought a 2013 3.8 60k miles on it I'm a srt hellcat owner so I'm new to this im looking to mod and want to tune looking to buy a odb port tuner any idea's ppl

[@RspecNick]

Alphaspeed custom tune is the way to go for sure. And dont get a short ram intake.

[@ForgeWashington]

I’m a Tec for Hyundai we don’t have problems with the 3.8s it’s them 2.0 trans and it’s because people can’t drive at all

[@FatalFist]

Me again, Kind of contemplating doing the Cold Air Intake because I hear that the washer fluid from factory sucks ass. I don't even use the washer fluid simply because I detail clean my car fairly often. And once you get into ceramic coats, having wiper blades alone is silly because water just slips off. But I'm also trying to make those fake vents functional by drilling out the holes and putting some kind of mesh that will help resist water from entering but also allow heat to escape that could also help in the engine bay's sauna department.

[@RspecNick]

If you did go that route they do sell a washer relocation kit with a smaller tank from remnant performance. The vents I actually wanted to swap too but with me daily driving it and it being stored outside the engine bay would get crazy dirty along with non stop water and snow falling into it. They make vents with a mesh backing from 3.8 performance but at that rate I'd probably just cave and go carbon hood and get a garage to store the genny and Subaru

[@ermin0615]

How did you make your headlights and fog lights look like that ? Painted or vinyl ?

[@RspecNick]

It's just a vinyl wrap super cheap

[@ermin0615]

I have a 2014 Genny R spec 2.0t Brembo the main problem i have is this horrid popcorn rubbing on the passenger side by the pillar of my car ,i looked it up and found that the welds might be popped due to shotty work from company i checked with the dealer and Hyundai and no one really wants to touch it . i haven't really pulled it apart Hyundai says i am out of warranty and its from use i have 64000 km on my babied car at the moment i am pissed will try to fix it 2021 then mod it.

[@RspecNick]

Yea that's normal too if you hit a bump hard enough it will do it. Pretty sure mine does it as well but I always have the music up so I never hear it

[@alexandermiller6838]

What wheels/ tires are you running can I get the sizes? They rub at all? They look really clean

No rubbing anymore my last setup did but here's my current setup. Esr sr01 gloss black Fronts 19x9.5 +22 Achilles atr sport 2 2453519 Rears 19x10.5 +22 Achilles Atr sport 2 2753519

[@anthonyan2691]

I think you installed your brake discs opposite side

[@RspecNick]

No I put them in as labeled LF,RF,RR,LR. I even emailed them with a picture of the setup they said it was correct but some people put them on backwards for the look apparently.

[@anthonyan2691]

Oh I got it. However your tail lights is it spec-d? I looks quite different from others

[@RspecNick]

@@anthonyan2691 yes even tho I do like the oem bk2 taillights I wanted to switch it up alittle. These are the spec D with red reflectors,gloss black housing and clear covers. Most people run the white reflectors

Thanks for the reply 👊👊👊

[@rjs2077]

What would you say is a fair price on a 2016 3.7 with 50k miles? I have a few in my area but I feel like they’re a little overpriced.

[@RspecNick]

From a dealer probably 16-20k private party like 10k-15k depending on how the car is body wise. I wish I would have gotten mine from a private party I could have saved thousands

[@rjs2077]

@@RspecNick damn the only decent one with low miles in my area is around 19k. I feel like it’s a little too much tbh.

[@RspecNick]

@@rjs2077 yes that is a bit steep not long ago someone sold a 2016 ultimate with 12k miles on it for 20 grand.

[@chrischrestensen3885]

23K good luck. They are becoming rarer and rarer. It's all about supply and demand. Not just the fact that stand-alone 'used' car prices have gone nuts. I've seen one (1) owner, 16's with under 20K miles go for as much as 31K (plus tax of course).

[@JayBuiltt]

bro i want this EXACT setup, but i rarely work on cars. my knowledge isnt the best.

[@RspecNick]

It's not hard honestly out of all of the stuff I've done to my genny the only ones that were alittle ify was swapping springs and running the oil cooler. The springs because if the spring compressors fail getting hit by a loaded spring would be rough and the oil cooler fittings if they were to tight it would leak and if it wasn't tight enough it would leak.

[@JayBuiltt]

@@RspecNick thanks man I really appreciate it, LOVE the setup !!

[@RspecNick]

@@JayBuiltt No problem at all man. And thanks 🙏

I’m trying to figure out if I want this or an ecoboost mustang

[@RspecNick]

I've heard the EcoBoost stangs arent to bad.

[@rambopack9140]

Definitely this

[@RspecNick]

@@rambopack9140 honestly depends what you want out of the car. The EcoBoost is probably more tuner friendly and I imagine it's cheaper to hit decent power numbers vs a FBO 3.8 genny which might hit 340-350whp.

[@sebastiandeodat6424]

Did you tint your headlights and taillights?

[@RspecNick]

No just the headlights and fog lights are tinted the taillights are black housings with a clear cover.

[@efrainvalencia6311]

How is it cleaning the caliper with the esr wheels thinking of getting some for mine

[@RspecNick]

Not too bad if you have small hands but if you have big hands its gonna suck

[@kegankirby1460]

What kinda power would you say your getting at the wheels

[@RspecNick]

I wanna say 280whp and that's being generous. I'll find out soon I wanna get the car on the dyno before I get the tune done

[@juanguerra6136]

have you had any problems with water leaks ?

Yep tail light seals. Nothing with the rear quarter windows or sunroof yet

[@Dragon-hu7pt]

What does the throttle body spacer do?

[@RspecNick]

Not much honestly with the genesis maybe 1whp it more so adds intake noise and gives you the option to run meth in the 1/8 port hole it has. Sometimes it smooths out power curve as well but I'm not tuned so I'm not sure if that's 100% with the gen coupe.

[@SpoderFromSaturn]

Thinking about getting a 2010 Genesis Coupe 3.8L soon! I am pumped, idk what im gonna do first, maybe wheels or intake? Any ideas haha Also what would be a good price range for one of these

[@RspecNick]

Okay so your looking for a 09-2012 (BK1) genny. Honestly I'd pick wheels before the intake. Most the intake setups for the genesis actually kill the performance on the car. AEM and 3point8 performance cold air intakes are the only cold air intakes that actually help. Even then at that point if you just use the stock air box with a k&n drop in filter nets about the same power for a third of the money. Price wise I wouldnt pay more then 11k for a bk1 even with low miles. I see 2013-2016 (bk2) gennys sell for under 14k all day long so the first gen should be way cheaper.

[@SpoderFromSaturn]

@@RspecNick Yeah the one i found is almost $10k which i think is pretty decent, miles are a bit higher than i want but itll do, are there any other mods that are worth it? Like maybe exhaust system or some suspension work, 3.8 is already pretty powerful for the price from what ive seen online which is what i like, im definitely going to do wheels first.

[@RspecNick]

@@SpoderFromSaturn sounds about normal price wise then. Theres a few things that helps for NA power like the manifold riser,headers,catback. Solo performance catback is pretty good but if you want more torque go with the single exit isr exhaust. They are fun cars if maintenance is kept up with tho

[@sclamable]

What cold air intake are u running

It's the injen short ram intake I wanna switch it out for the 3point8 performance cold air kit

[@Brooklyza]

you need a built block to make those numbers, otherwise you gonna grenade internals at even 6 psi. That 3.8 is not built for boost whatsoever!

[@RspecNick]

My motor is getting built currently for boost

[@RspecNick]

Stock block tho there's a few guys making decent power for how long will it last is a whole different story

[@FatalFist]

But the ISR gives no performance 😭

[@RspecNick]

Literally just loud noises. I've heard nothing but good stuff about the solo performance catback tho. If you want power single exit is the way to go.

[@TVEMike]

Are those tints legal? Lol I want them

[@RspecNick]

Usually no but I've had them on for a year so far no issues. I did have a cop walk past me one day and tell me all my tint is illegal but that's as far as it went no ticket or anything.
