Trying to decide between supercharging and turbo . Plan on doing it around summer of next year. Just wanna take all the precautions and have the proper motor mods
would recommend against supercharging as it puts extra strain on to the rotating assembly by attaching a belt to it. turbo kits will put less strain on the engine physically and make better power as well vs. supercharging on the bk platforms
I wouldn't go for a supercharger you'll need more psi for less whp. So you're pretty much paying more to ruin your car quicker and not get the numbers you want.
Have Remnant Performance 70mm Omega installed on 2013 3.8 track, I also have stage 1 transmission, custom MAP and AlphaTune, block is stock, no exhaust has been added yet im dumping directly under passenger seat. What upgrades should i make immediately to the stock block to ensure longevity and that I wont blow anything soon. I am not smart to engines much and want to make sure I do everything I need to the right way... thank you in advance, i love ur videos
Cjay Sabino finally blew his Remnant Performance 3.8 after 7,200 miles. He uploaded a new video two weeks ago explaining what happened. Someone near my area posted a sale for a 2014 Genesis Coupe 2.0T around the same time. If I was not still stuck with my parents, I would trade my 3.8 for it right now. It has less mileage than my 3.8. It is at 63,000 or 68,000 miles. It is automatic and it looks like it is in good condition, but I would have to see it in person. It is not too far from me. It is the same color as my car and it has the upgraded premium package with the gps screen. Another guy with a channel called "BS Racing Channel" uploaded a new video of his LS swapped Genesis Coupe a day after Cjay's video. The car caught on fire and it is finished. He recorded it on fire. No more Genesis Coupe for him. I may as well save up and sell it in the future. I am really thinking about saving up and going for a new Supra or 2023 Nissan Z. I don't know if it would be cheaper to save up and trade for one of those, or put money into a built engine for a Genesis Coupe, which has very limited aftermarket options. I like the Genesis Coupe. I simply wish it was capable of what the new cars can do with all the torque and horsepower. The Genesis Coupe was developed a decade too early.
Honestly if you don’t wanna spend $1600-2000 for the Ark then 100% do a custom catback with helmholtz resonators. Do dual 2.5” pipe with regular resonators then have an X pipe cross over that feeds to your preferred muffler (blackwidow has some nice options) to 4” dual exhaust tips. For making the helmholtz resonators it’s actually way easier than it seems. Just some plug and play algebra for matching chamber dimensions to the specific frequency you want to cancel. You’ll save a chunk of money and it’ll still sound great. Plus it’s super sick to say your setup is completely custom lol Cause I have the ark and it’s good but it’s not worth the amount you pay. Realistically any catback will give roughly the same power gains plus It’s a bit on the quiet side so there’s that. I did the H pipe for my secondary cat delete and it’s still not as loud as I want, but that’s all subjective. Though I will say drone is nonexistent which is very nice. Even when I had on my OBX headers the drone wasn’t bad at all, especially impressive considering it was completely catless.
If you are skilled at doing so, definitely an option. however, we have seen some custom exhaust jobs flow inadequately at times. the one we recommend on here has been tested on many different cars and is something we know for it to work well
Is there a video for various ways to run the meth into the intake/manifold? through a throttle body spacer or I heard of someone taping the sprayer into the manifold itself.
Single nozzle is recommended to be placed before the throttle body. If you are doing multi port then you can tap your intake manifold runners and run them per cylinder
@@jayjunior2023Hyundai put in weak pistons and rods for cost savings. Any significant bump in power you need forged internals. You can supposedly run 3-4 psi safel all day long on a stock block tho. This would still give you 75ish more horsepower and running methanol injection would further give you some safe breathing room. IMHO the motors like the 350z it's a glass cannon that breaks easy.
@@jonf2009 yeah that makes sense. Thanks for the reply brother. Appreciate it. My 3.8 blew on me 🤣 the motor blew. Wasn't worth the fix as was under lease so I ended up switching to a infiniti redsport lol not bad for what u get for the price. I'm now looking at a g70 or possibly an Audi s or rs series. Unsure as bit of a price jump but worth it. These lower end cars are decent but just not strong enough to add the extra mods.. I want a 500hp car atleast haha. Would prefer a Audi s8 but I ain't bill gates lol
There are actually many videos of twin turbo 3.8. If you search for 700whp o 600whp twin turbo Korean drift videos. SeoulFRacing has a twin turbo 3.8. Then there is Justin in Hawaii with his blue Genesis Coupe that he had built to 4.0L. His car is twin turbo, but I don't know the numbers. Unfortunately, Cjay Sabino finally blew his Remnant Performance turbo kit 3.8 engine last month after 7,200 miles. It is pointless trying to reach high horsepower on the 3.8 without a fully built engine. Justin told me it costed him over $20,000 for Mt Motorsports and Travis to forge it into 4..0L.
I am in far North Dallas area. Someone told me to contact Juan Pale for Alpha Speed tunes in this area. I did talk to him on FB and he gave me the information back in 2020 or 2021 when I was researching all of this. I am not sure what part of Texas you are near though. I think there is an actual shop closer to Central Texas. This is the problem living here. Everything is so spread out.

You a real one. The forums can be… convoluted to say the least lol.
So this video is a blessing to a lot.
Recently found your channel I love the Genesis content!!! Keep it coming
This is the video I was waiting for. I will watch it when I get back.😁
Awesome, been waiting for this!

No cjay had cylinder 2 blow. Wasn’t his turbo kit that blew.
What would be the repercussions if I choose the nitrous option
Is this a kit that would be safe to run with the Brian Crower 4.2 Stroker Kit
I love the video
What to do now that the turbo kits are discontinued??
What shops do you recommend to get the turbo kit installed? I live in the Chicago area
is there a twin turbo kit for the Hyundai genesis coupe 3.8
None stateside and none that are reliable or worth the trouble. 3.8s have nearly no lag with the single setup that the twin setups are pointless
@@BTRcarcustoms thanks for the info
Do you still offer turbo kits for the bk2 Genesis Coupe?
currently Remnant performance has discontinued the kit due to low demand
Would you recommend the ark grip or the isr single exit? I’ve heard that the single exit is the best exhaust for the 3.8 performance-wise
A dual 2.5” will outflow a single 3” all day every day
@@BTRcarcustoms thanks a lot!

What about the clutch tho?
the turbo kit is great value for money but i would rather take the time and make the exhaust myself
If you are skilled at doing so, definitely an option. however, we have seen some custom exhaust jobs flow inadequately at times. the one we recommend on here has been tested on many different cars and is something we know for it to work well
@@BTRcarcustoms if i were to fir 3,5 downpipe into 3inch all the way back and just a small resonator do decrease drone. what would u think about that
How about E85 instead of meth ? Would that be better ? Or would you recommend meth ? Thanks
Is there a video for various ways to run the meth into the intake/manifold? through a throttle body spacer or I heard of someone taping the sprayer into the manifold itself.
Single nozzle is recommended to be placed before the throttle body. If you are doing multi port then you can tap your intake manifold runners and run them per cylinder
who’s car was it that you showed driving with a turbo kit?
what about the stroker kit?????? whats the impact with this video (including the stroker kit)
Really no reason to do a stroker kit. Just a good forged internal build will be enough to max out the fuel system
So what would you think the hp will be if it had a stroker. Is the axel strong enough. What size tire should we go with. Transmission?
@@BTRcarcustoms so this can't be done on norm 3.8? We need forge it? Ffs

Is there a super charger for the bk2 3.8 and if, is it possible to twin charge a 3.8 🤔
Turbo kit will be much reliable.
There is a supercharger kit called d’toz but I highly recommend not using it

@@bikotheanimator6169sounds like he bought the stroker kit since it has all the forged bits. Pretty much 6k entry price just for the parts.
hey man i was wondering if you suggest having fbo first or if i can just go straight into a turbo kit and make power?
If you have the budget for it, turbo would definitely put down way more power dollar for dollar
Is there Alpha Speed tunes in Texas
Yes! You can contact alphaspeed on facebook and they can route you to your nearest dealer

Can you turbo the 3.8 sedan? I’d rather supercharge it but I know it’s worse for the engine. Regardless any boost would be nice
No one has done it but it is possible
@@BTRcarcustomshow
Can you do this for bk1 3.8?
ruclips.net/video/0NKnFNqisuE/видео.html
Thats the video for the bk1
Would this turbo work on an automatic transmission?
Yes it will
I have a 3.8 Genesis coupe and I heard that turboing it is a bad idea. Is that true?
Only if you push it too much
@@BTRcarcustoms like going to the track or too much boost?

You can make 550+ hp on stock internals? 🤔
i know it sounds crazy but its more of a recent thing. platform has come a very long way tuning wise you can definitely do it now
I wouldn't personally.
I wanna turbo my girls rspec 😭
And blow her hole up ^___^
Also how does nitrous run on a 3.8? Is it safe?
Low boost settings run great. People blow engines when they get greedy for more power
Nitrous is all about user error and settings. As long as its used with caution and reasonable amount of shot it will be fine
