Nice, not many actually turbo the 3.8. I was going to 75 wet shot a 3.8 if I got one. But I have bk1 2.0t, ppl are making 600whp now days, going for big turbo build
Great way to start the day, I went for the 2.0T, as it offered more customization options over a longer period of time. Also each individual mod is cheaper than the 3.8, as that requires more money for less upgrade.
You’re the reason I got a 2.0t 2013 with 66k miles no accidents , the turbo sound and everything else made me so happy driving this off the dealership ❤🎉
I had a 2.0T and it was so much fun. The turbo noises were unreal! Now I have the 3.8 Which also sounds amazing and is overall faster BUT the 2.0T has hella potential!
i got the 2.0t! it's definitely a lot of fun because the turbo noises are pretty addicting. However, after a while of daily driving, i barely even use the boost. I'd still definitely prefer the 2.0t to break some necks and have it sound like a spaceship. Imo both are really good options
I test drove both 3.8 then 2.0 in 2012 brand new. Never wanted another 4 cylinder so drove the 3.8 first. It rode ruff and glad one of the streets I test drove on was not well maintained to find this out. The car felt front heavy and hit the bumps like I was driving my dropped s10 truck with 18 inch rims. Told the guy I did not like the way it drove but loved the look of it. Young car salesman said I would not be wasting his time and asked me to drive the 2.0. I agreed and I loved it right away. The car felt lighter and handled better. I never owned a turbo and it had plenty of power for my everyday driving vehicle to commute to work. My dad went with me and said he felt the difference sitting in the passenger seat and the suspension just felt better. I still have the car 9 years later with 83,000 miles on it today without any engine problems whatsoever using Royal Purple oil.
I chose the 3.8 because more out of the box power and I prefer the sound of v6 engine and exhaust. However I also love a nice BOV sound and plan on turbo-ing
I got a 2010 2.0t as my first car 6 years ago… I couldn’t suggest anything better. The only issue I have ever had with my car is that it will tend to leak in the trunk when it rains too much but with the look, safety,and life on my car, the leak isn’t even noticeable!
I have a 2016 3.8. Ultimate. I swapped out the exhaust for a Magnaflow cat-back and I just love the way it sounds. I'm not crazy about the sound of the 2.0T. I have about 4,500 miles left on the warranty. When it expires I'll do some bolt-ons and a tune. This car has been a blast to drive around the back roads of southern Maryland. I get more compliments, comments, and questions about this car than any of the other ones I've owned, and I've owned some nice cars.
Iv had the v6 tiburon before now I have a sonata I'm looking to get the genesis thinking of maybe a 2013 one just not sure to get the 2.0 t or the 3.8 now I do love geting wiped back in the seat and feeling the horse power so not sure yet wat I might do
This (2.0T) is the first car where I've had compliments and I've had quite a few. Sometimes people don't know what brand it is and they are surprised when I say Hyundai
You’ve put together the best pov I don’t think I’ve ever see anyone place the camera where u did but I’m glad you did. And plus this video was definitely needed thank you 🙏
The neat thing about the 2.0T is that it comes turbo which allows for more modulation options but spending less. With my 3.8, I could turbo it but it'll cost me an arm and a leg where as you can at least mess with the 2.0T before having to replace the turbo with a bigger one. Stock for stock, the 3.8 is more powerful but you can get further with the 2.0T's through the headstart they get.
The turbo is done around 115mph if you are in a long race the 3.8 leaves you behind. Turbo is also more accident prone cause you take more risks with it in heavier traffic.
I don’t have a genesis (I have a tiburon) but I’m looking to get one and I really want a 3.8 stick shift because i like the N/A feel of a vehicle and rowing through the gears
Slap a turbo on the 3.8, give it something like 50hp through 4-10lbs and you'll never regret it. Just be mindful of the internals, the power you put down the more likely something in the engine can break. Still, a 3.8 non-boosted is such a good investment.
@Forced Induction You want to balance around the engine. 500hp sounds nice, my comfort zone I want to grab for my 3.8 is 400. But at some point, you're breaking parts so it all depends on the life of the engine.
@@FatalFist I’m thinking about getting 2013-2014 3.8 manual but what’s difference between the r-spec, track and ultimate and what year you think is better?
I just got my 2014 2.0t last month and I love it. I was originally looking for a 3.8 but there were very few in my area and they were about $3k more on average than my 2.0t. Got my exhaust and intake already, just waiting for my racepipe. Nice video 👍🏾
I went for 2.0T cuz it simply does the job.... I save the V6 on my SUV. I have been following your mod and put it on mine, from stereo to wheels, lowering, intake, BOV, SFR tune.... thanks to all your videos!! And the tune by far the best mod, it awakened the car, even more fun to drive and enjoy the boost!
@@VehicleEvolutionwhat power modifications did you do before you got it turned? I’m asking because since my dealership didn’t have a Genesis coupe on the lot when I bought my Mazda3 but had some BK1’s a couple months later, but I’ve been wanting a BK2 2013-2014 because I just like the face lifted versions better and like that they upgraded the power output. So I just watched this video on why you choose the 2.0T over the 3.8 and now I’m thinking I’d want a 2.0T over the 3.8 myself and that you only paid $300 for a 1.5 stage tune, so what mods did you do before getting tuned?
this is my dream car since i got my license i’ve been waiting to own this car, where i live they are very rare and the ones that are being sold are really expensive.. some day.. i’ll one day have one :,)
OhhNito Ouch, i mean sometimes some in my area go between that, but it’s definitely possible to find some cheaper ones, I mean I found a mint condition garage kept one 110000 miles for 7000$
I have a '15 R-Spec 3.8 and never thought of getting the 2.0T. It was always the 3.8 or a 370Z or FRS/BRZ. Come to find out you can put on a bigger turbo on a 2.0T and get more of a power increase without costing an crazy amount of money. Just got a custom tune, downpipes, testpipes, and a Ferrari Asna Mid Muffler and what a difference. The car really is opened up. My main gripe was the throttle response before and it cleared that right up along with a gain of 37whp for a total of 276whp. I do Autocross and also had rear and sway bars added with Michelin Super Sport Cup 2 tires. I think for AutoX purposes the 3.8 trumps the 2.0T. Second gear holds well for this car. The next step would be a turbo for the 3.8 but honestly I'm content at the moment. The turbo for the 3.8 comes then it's forged internals to get more boost then your looking at the cost of what you could get a Camaro ZL1 for. This car your right isn't necessarily sought after for raw power it's for looks and over drivability which I'm happy to say I'm enjoying very much at the moment.
Just bought a 2010 2.0T R spec and i love it, its throwing me 3 codes so as soon as these get fixed i’m gonna start doing slight things like exhaust intake tailights etc
I opted for the 3.8 rspec. 2013 . 348hp stock for a v6 coupe is pretty stout. And its rear wheel drive. Love the body style and like the 2.0t also. 2.0t does have more upgrades, at least for the cheaper.
I am the new and proud owner of 2013 2.0T Genesis. The reason I purchased it were the turbo and the awesome Genesis stlye and handling. Plus they told me about the tuneup before I bought her.
I was looking for a turbocharged RWD and the genesis 2.0t check all the boxes for me and the budget I had at the time. So I end up with my 2013 2.0T r-spec 6MT and I really enjoy it too. So far I have done intake, bov, and turbo back exhaust next is the tune. The car has being nothing but a blast to drive. 👍
I had the choice between the FRS, BRZ, Toyota 86 or the 14 Gen coupe 2.0T. After driving all 4, ah yea the 14 gen coupe 2.0T WON hands down. Dont get me wrong but those frs and brzs and 86's DO look good dropped with wheels on them but that boxer engine and only 200 hp was NOT going to cut it.
@@lollol-xp4mc i didnt buy the genesis for handling ... lets get that straight. We got 2 different cars here, apples to oranges. One is made for power and the other is made for handling. You chose which direction to go. I chose POWER over handling because i am a straight away guy.
Sweet ride. Car is clean and not overly done. Its perfect the way it is. I have a 2008 dodge caliber srt4 thats pretty much set up the same way for daily driving and its clean. Mine is all boltons and has a diablosport 93 octane tune. Its a beast on stock powertrain and stock turbo. I kinda feel like an old man in this world at 49 years old but i've always been into turbo cars. My last car was a 2012 mazdaspeed3. I guess we're never too old!!!!😊
Went with the 3.8 My friend owns a 370Z Nismo and I didn't want to blatantly pick up a Z. I originally wanted a BRZ but there's something about a coupe with a V6 that makes the Genesis awesome.
@@80s_Boombox_Collector Not to mention the power difference of 200hp vs the 3.8's 348hp. The 3.8 I have powers through the turns to the point where I get frustrated when someone is in an SUV going slow for me haha
@@nychick1023 The car has held up very well. I'm I put about 50,000km on it withing 2 years and maintenance has been good. I did have a turbo leak and a damaged oil pan this year. Overall very solid car
I had a 2003 Mustang that I was looking to trade in and saw the Genesis sitting at the dealership. I've never heard of them before and it looked badass so I bought it. 2013 Hyundai Genesis 2.0 with 8-speed automatic
I bought a 3.8 and look for about a year before I found the one I wanted in Arizona. I am in California it had 30,000 miles on it when I got it I’ve had it a couple years and it’s still only got about 32,000 miles love the body design and like you said I’m not the end of the speed love the corner and capabilities of it and I’m 74 years old.
I live in Switzerland and because gas prices are more than twice as high in Europe as they are in the US, I initially thought about getting the 2.0t but buying a 3.8 is cheaper because people tend to prefer smaller engines here (mainly because of the gas prices) so there is a higher demand for the 2.0t. Since there is a 85k mile 3.8 which already looks phenomenal, I am going to get a 3.8 as my first car. Thank you for the very informative videos
We have 2 Genesis coupe 3.8s one 2013 Track and 2011Track. We just picked up a 2.0T manual that we are building and transplanting the 2.0T engine into another ex-3.8 track that we picked up with a blown engine. The plan is 700HP for the motor because the other 2 3.8s are both built so new project and a lot of fun.... These cars are great for mods and great fun to drive with manual transmissions...
Got a 2012 2.0T premium last month after saving up internship money. Every time i see it I’m reminded of how much I love that car. Not the easiest to learn manual in compared to other cars but man I love that car.
I looked at probably 10 different genesis coupes before I finally bought my 2016 3.8 last year i've since sold it. I didn't like the no low end torque I didn't realize at the time to get the torque I wanted I needed a turbo. Now im looking for a 2.0
I had a BK2 3.8 for about a year. Unfortunately, I had a ton of problems with the manual transmission and diff, it was a street car and not driven hard. I loved the sound of the v6, probably one of the best sounding engines for the money. The torque was great, and it was smooth running. Personally, I’m partial to N/A cars over turbo, but the turbo cars are really solid. I didn’t love the rev hang in the 2.0T, either, but that’s not a problem for auto gearbox cars
I got the 2.0t because I heard you can add more upgrades to it 👌 plus got a taste of the turbo excited to slap a turbo kit soon only downfall im having with the genesis coupe is passenger side leaking water inside but not major leak
I went with the 2.0T because of the Turbo. If you mod the car up and compare it to other turbo cars 0-60, it's pretty freaking fast for a Hyundai. Look at the 2020 Q60 3.0TT. Stock 0-60 is like 5.4 seconds. The 2014 genesis stock 0 to 60 is 5.9 if I remember correctly(?). It is a great and fun car for the price!
i was looking into a mustang, FRS, 370z, and a genesis coupe, for the bells and whistles and for the price, i went with a 2013 genesis coupe 2.0T and loving it
@@everettbc4180 it has around 64k atm, you should go with a 2016 3.8 version, i only got the 2.0T cuz i wanted to cheap out 4-5k lol. also i was looking at this for my genesis www.gencoupe.com/threads/tesla-style-stereo.734558/
Taeng Keu i’m definitely cheaping out 3-8k going with a ‘13 2.0t , here in CA they’re way overpriced, I also like the tune potential for the 2.0t, not really looking for aggressive power out the gate, i’d rather enjoy the aesthetic. i daily a corolla, so i don’t want to spend more than I have to , to acquire a genny Lol
The automatic was better until 2014, when they upgraded to carbon sincros for the manual, I also bought the car with 10k on it because it was just sitting there on the lot and I was blown away by the styling, out side and inside. So I’m the second owner, I have owned a few cars in my 73 years on this plane of existence, first 1963 MGB, then 64 GTO, then 68 SS396 3speed manual, then 67 327 Corvette , then 69 427 Corvette both manual transmissions. I’ve also had an 83 Audi Quattro turbo, and several Bimmers, my 69 427 vette at 465 HP could do 0-60 in about 5.8 seconds which was flying back then, this Gennie is faster and handles 100 times better. The only car I loved driving more was my brothers 93 white NSX, but again the Gennie is faster. I’m glad I got the 3.8 because I think in the long run it will be more reliable. Less internal pressures and heat, I do worry about carbon build up but have devised measures to deal with it. So keep up the cool videos and I might add some of my own soon. I have one already at challengeaginglife, thanks. Karel.
What do you have planned to combat the carbon build up? Im hopefully getting a 2013 3.8bk2 and have read abojt carbon buildup but havent seen many ways to combat it. Car only has 60k miles on it
I went with my 2013 2.0t because it's easier to maintenance the engine and it was cheaper and way better gas mileage and I can mod it later on when I pay it off
Oh by the way can you do a video on a throttle controller and when you upgrade your turbo the best thing about that you can upgrade on your stock internals our engine are able to take up to 400hp with tuning the bk1 engine can't handle it im glad i got my bk2 love it and thanks again enjoy watching your videos just look into it when you can take care
Its great I love my car but if you going to get the car take it to the dealership to get a full inspection just to make sure the last owner took care of the car the first thing I look at it the interior it will say alot the the engine check for leaks list to if the engine knock and then the Rotors and brakes but it's a great car and affordable to maintain
I got a 2.0 bc it has a better displacement for the motor which gives a lot of space for twin turbos the sound is better gas I can use any type I want but wish it had more cup holders lol great car my last one saved my life they r built strong I flipped four times end over end and walked away from it great car when this ones motor goes I’m not gonna sell it I’m gonna build again until I die
I had a 2011 2.0t and sold it to get a 2013 2.0 R-spec. I choose the 2.0 over the 3.8 because I love the turbo spool, and I also love that it’s so much cheaper to get more performance out of the 2.0 then the 3.8, the 3.8 does sounds amazing but at the end of the day I like feeling boost and I will never not want a turbo sound
I have a 2013 genesis sedan 3.8 and the exhaust sounds amazing. I wouldn't mind hearing a turbo under the hood but my friend has a 2.0 coupe and overall i like the 3.8 better. What I really want is the 5.0 though haha
I have recently developed an appreciation for the genesis. I’m lightly modified with an ecoboost mustang and I’m curious how they would compare in a race.
I may be wrong, but I believe the genesis is lighter. It would be a good race, for sure. I think a full bolt on 2.0t Genesis would win due to the P/W ratio, but the 2.0t ecoboosts make almost the same HP as a 3.8, and stock.
@@remainingrex9471 the genesis is lighter by about 40 lbs but is down 35 hp and 75 tq. I also think mod for mod the ecoboost will make more power. I am a little more than lightly modified now (bigger intercooler and e30 with an exhaust) and I’m making around 410 at the crank, and I feel like the genesis probably won’t respond the same way. I do still think they are good looking and fun cars though.
I have a 2.0T and I bought it brand new back in 2013. I chose it because I was dumb, young and couldn't afford the 3.8. But, glad I did because 13+ 3.8s with the GDI engines have really bad carbon build up that cause the engine to prematurely implode on itself in 50-60K miles. the 2.0t was before hyundai went with GDI 2.0Ts engines like they do in the new N cars. I assume the new GDI engines will have the same issue as the other GDI engines. My 2.0t with a stock turbo, tune, and FBO is faster then any non-boosted 3.8 out there. I love the turbo sounds and spooling of the 2.0t as well. I will say I like how the 3.8s sounds with a nice exhaust though and the cars balance is far superior to the 2.0t as well.
i got a 2.0T auto for my 16th birthday and i told my dad that i wanted a genesis, but i didn’t tell him which engine. so i ended up with sum nice turbo flutter🤞
I own and drive a 2013 2.0T modified Genesis coupe i love it. My reason was i wanted a turbo car sun roof and fog lights. If I was going to get a new car i may as well get the package deal. I daily drive it all year round this also involves winter driving. Overall its a fun car to drive with the 8 speed auto tri shift paddles sequential shift and car drives it self. I dont think i would change my choice.
You need a good set of winter tires. The problem with these cars is they are rear wheel drive and light in the back end which makes traction in snow a bit sketchy. That’s also one of the things that makes them so fun in good weather though!
I used to work at a tow yard and i towed a "drug car" 2.0 3 times in one week. Yes that means they took it from the yard.. anyway sometime later i seen a mess of a 2.0 with a donut for a rear tire and the paint peeling, and the driver window down. I stared at it for two weeks until i sold 300 chrysler and went straight over and bought it. 2 years and about 14 g later.. fully rebuilt with new upgraded turbo. $ well spent, a head turner every where
I went 3.8 because stock it’s so much faster the bk2 of course if your ever in Cali hmu when can do some friendly runs and I’d love to show you a few things about the genny that will definitely help
Hey buddy, I have the 2014 2.0 T R-Spec with the 6 spd Manual tranny. It currently has 18,000. miles. The only mod I’ve done at this point is the fresh air intake. I have a new down pipe and exhaust. I just haven’t had the time to install it. I’m looking to get the exhaust installed and get the SFR Tune.
True, but a fbo 2.0 will beat a 3.8, unless the 3.8 is boosted, the only reason I’d get a 3.8 would be for sound, it’s pretty hard squeezing power out of those engines
Lighter weight, better MPG, mod-ability, the TQ of a turbo 4 could definitely be more preferable for certain driving styles, having the smaller motor "underdog" aspect, without even watching the full video I can see why someone would go for the 4. gonna watch it through tho.
I have a white ‘13 2.0t Prem. and it’s a really fun car to drive. Turbo noises are way too satisfying and the 2.0T is cheaper to modify as well. I have not modified her yet, but i’m looking in to getting a BOV because it’s cheap.
I chose the 3.8 (M/T) over the 2.0t because: -the 2.0t needs thousands in mods to hit the same crank HP, if done properly. -I can spend my thousands on body kit, hood, grille, etc first and still hit the same expected power marks as a modded 2.0t -either of these motors making over 500hp should be getting some really serious components. Rear end, transmission, and lower end building. Not to mention the upgraded valve train, intake, exhaust, etc. Either way you're in for $10,000+ if you want something reliable. No reason not to stick with higher HP output, better sound, etc. Until you're ready to drop the big money on proper mods. So the 3.8 makes the most sense for the highest avg HP over time modding it. Although since the 2.0t models are cheaper, there is much more aftermarket available for them. I'm a mechanic as my day job and have fabrication supplies so the lack of aftermarket for bk2 3.8's does not scare me away from them.
Idk man my 2015 3.8 and my buddy at work has a 2013 2.0 and we both agree my shit feels like 1.5x as fast at minimum. Like you can literally feel it through 2/3/4, 1/5/6 not as noticeable. I’m looking at a 2012 w chalked engine for 4K ima see what I can fit in it, v8 genny coming soon.
I went with a 2012 2.0t base. I wanted the r spec but they didnt have one on the lot. I went with the 2012 instead of the 2014 3.8 they had cus I liked the front end alot more, and i love the feeling of a turbo car. Completely stock the car is fast enough for me, I was able to hit 157 mph on the speedometer (in Mexico ;D ) First thing I did was replace the coils, rotors, and brakes with sets off a 2011 r spec. After that i did a hard transmission mount and limited slip diff (off the same 2011 r spec) and put it on Tien lowering springs. Haven't done anything else but im glad i got the 2.0t cus i have huge upgrade potential and endless aftermarket support, something you cant find for the 3.8
The 2014 3.8 has been maintenance free for me while the 2013 2.0 burned oil (leaked out of tailpipe), blew pistons twice bank 1 and the turbo cuts off around 115,
I’m about to pickup a BK1 2.0T tomorrow! Too excited to say the least, here in South Korea 🇰🇷 and already looking to tune and do some cosmetic add ons.
My story is kind of magical. I wanted a Genesis for a long time. I had a Tiburon, which I loved. I bowl out in Normandy, MD. At one point they cancelled my league, so I was gonna stop bowling there. The day that I planned would be my last day bowling there, I just happened to look on the lot of the dealership, and there was my Genesis 2.0t sitting there for only $13k. I was like wtf? So after bowling, I looked into it, and it only had 30 something thousand miles. Price was low because it had accident history, but the accident was not enough to discourage me from buying. That's pretty much it. I wanted to buy a car that year, but I wasn't ready to get one at the time because I was going on vacation. I wasn't gonna let my car get away though. That was a deal of a lifetime!! It was between that, and an Accord coupe. Anyway thanks for reading.
I bought a 2015 3.8. Mostly because that was the only option that I had to choose from 😆. But for me there’s no replacement for displacement. Both great engines for the car but I just like the 3.8 more
friend got a 2013 2.0 and at 100k it got rod knock because an oil sensor failed and the code refused to show until the knock was as loud as a bang. my friend is a 20-year-old girl and she was so used to the car shaking already with a/c on so she didn't notice it until too late.
well , i'm looking for a genesis coupe on europe , and the reason why i look for a 3.8 it's because it's a V6 , sound beter , the 2.0T sound pretty good but i always wanted a 6 cylindre car (or more, no mater V, VR, in line or what ever ) with ISR race exhaust the car sound amazing (a bit too loud but it's not for daily driving) , i search a BK2 , less issue but if i find a good 2.0T , bk2 not to expensive i'm probably gonna buy it
This video is great! I’m planning on getting a genesis coupe as long as it’s bk2 haha! The mileage that you mentioned really did help, I kept hearing people saying that they get 16mpg, 20mpg, etc. Does regular gas really affect the mpg on the car?
I easily get a all around average of 25 mpg in my 16 3.8 6 speed and I get on it a lot. Taking off the engine cover got me 2 mpg I was shocked at that.
I just upgraded from a 2007 2.0 Tiburon to a 2013 2.0t r spec and it just feels so much better. I just got it cuz it was available and I was able to sell the Tiburon for a profit too. What kind of tune were you talking ab for your car because I’m looking into tunes and don’t know if I should do a piggy back or bring it in somewhere
I owned both and still own the 2014 3.8 Ultimate modified pipes & engine filter. The turbo was faster 80mph & under but the 3.8 kills it beyond that point & IMO the engine will last much much longer. I totaled the turbo btw [=
I own a 2013 genesis coupe 2.0t premium (canada). I go with the 2.0t for winter driving and turbo torque. Since 2 years I got intake, catback, donwpipe, colder spark plug and sfr 1.5. But the best upgrade except the tune is upgrade my open differential To an factory LSD from bk1 track and wow not same car even with stock suspension !!
I've had my 2010 2.0 since 2 miles and I currently like it more than my 2018 Camaro SS lol, it has alottttttttt of quirks and issues due to cheap material on window trims, bad grounding but once u nail it they ride soooo nice, the 2.0 is a much better option in my opinion, u can beat a 3.8s ratings with the same trim in a 2.0 T for just about as much as the 3.8 is off lot and have much more customization towards your likings than a stock car that's engine is unusually expensive to work on
Speaking reliability wise, the 2.0 will take a lot of preventative maintenance to keep solid buttttt when something goes wrong with the 3.8 it's muchhhh more expensive.... Im putting 400 to the wheels on a stick engine with 180k now lol
Everyone says I'm lucky with my engine but I quite literally do a full year down and inspection once a year and nock on wood the cars never broken down in 12 years running 20psi
this car is so much like my 328i i use 93 and my horsepower and torq pretty much the same except this car doesnt seem like a lot of maintance and i love the spoiler also is this RWD or can you get AWD
Vehicle evolution dude you’re the best i watched your videos also I liked the center console and exhaust video I have a 2.0t premium because It was the only one I liked at the dealership and I’m sad because drew peacock dude said to return it and get a Honda or a 3.8 genesis coupe 😞
I bought a 2013 3.8 R-spec 3 years ago, I had a Bk1 2.0T and i missed the turbo sounds. So now i have a 3.8T best of both world.
🙏 your god tier brother
FREAKING MADLAD
LMAO This is fucking awesome! 😂
Nice, not many actually turbo the 3.8. I was going to 75 wet shot a 3.8 if I got one. But I have bk1 2.0t, ppl are making 600whp now days, going for big turbo build
What’s it push?
Great way to start the day,
I went for the 2.0T, as it offered more customization options over a longer period of time. Also each individual mod is cheaper than the 3.8, as that requires more money for less upgrade.
You’re the reason I got a 2.0t 2013 with 66k miles no accidents , the turbo sound and everything else made me so happy driving this off the dealership ❤🎉
I'm looking to buy one in a month myself lol 😁
@@HemiLyfestyle if you’re thinking of modifying your genesis, modify your intake and blow out Val oof 😮💨
@@lucidfrequenciz lol sound like you having a lot of fun with your coupe already, how you like it?
I really like the sound of the turbo spool and blow off valve and the feeling of the boost.

How many miles and how much if u don’t mind me asking

I had a 2.0T and it was so much fun. The turbo noises were unreal! Now I have the 3.8 Which also sounds amazing and is overall faster BUT the 2.0T has hella potential!
im in the midst of either getting a 2.0t and a 3.8, which one did you prefer?
i got the 2.0t! it's definitely a lot of fun because the turbo noises are pretty addicting. However, after a while of daily driving, i barely even use the boost. I'd still definitely prefer the 2.0t to break some necks and have it sound like a spaceship. Imo both are really good options
@@levibh what's your milage? I'm thinking about buying one
@@francoismarounaoun2442 my mileage is around 95k!
@@francoismarounaoun2442 i got it around 84k! its dope and no problems yet, so glad i got it because of the rising gas prices lol
I test drove both 3.8 then 2.0 in 2012 brand new. Never wanted another 4 cylinder so drove the 3.8 first. It rode ruff and glad one of the streets I test drove on was not well maintained to find this out. The car felt front heavy and hit the bumps like I was driving my dropped s10 truck with 18 inch rims. Told the guy I did not like the way it drove but loved the look of it. Young car salesman said I would not be wasting his time and asked me to drive the 2.0. I agreed and I loved it right away. The car felt lighter and handled better. I never owned a turbo and it had plenty of power for my everyday driving vehicle to commute to work. My dad went with me and said he felt the difference sitting in the passenger seat and the suspension just felt better. I still have the car 9 years later with 83,000 miles on it today without any engine problems whatsoever using Royal Purple oil.
I had a 2013 Genesis Coupe 2.0T and for the time that I had it it was fun to drive. I lost the car when Hurricane Harvey hit Houston Tx 😪.
That sucks!😢
I chose the 3.8 because more out of the box power and I prefer the sound of v6 engine and exhaust. However I also love a nice BOV sound and plan on turbo-ing
I got a 2010 2.0t as my first car 6 years ago… I couldn’t suggest anything better. The only issue I have ever had with my car is that it will tend to leak in the trunk when it rains too much but with the look, safety,and life on my car, the leak isn’t even noticeable!
Was that really the only issue you had? What mileage was it at when you got it vs now?
I got the 2.0 (2013) it is AMAZING. Love the spool with K&N Typhoon intake, and just added a ISR catback and my goodness. It’s better than expected.
Give that baby an SFR tune. 60hp+ to the ground.
SFR tune on that puppies and watch the hp's rise
Hows it holding up? Looking into getting a 2.0 or a 3.8 but I keep hearing bad things about the 2.0 in terms of reliability
I have a 2016 3.8. Ultimate. I swapped out the exhaust for a Magnaflow cat-back and I just love the way it sounds. I'm not crazy about the sound of the 2.0T. I have about 4,500 miles left on the warranty. When it expires I'll do some bolt-ons and a tune. This car has been a blast to drive around the back roads of southern Maryland. I get more compliments, comments, and questions about this car than any of the other ones I've owned, and I've owned some nice cars.
Iv had the v6 tiburon before now I have a sonata I'm looking to get the genesis thinking of maybe a 2013 one just not sure to get the 2.0 t or the 3.8 now I do love geting wiped back in the seat and feeling the horse power so not sure yet wat I might do
This (2.0T) is the first car where I've had compliments and I've had quite a few. Sometimes people don't know what brand it is and they are surprised when I say Hyundai
You’ve put together the best pov I don’t think I’ve ever see anyone place the camera where u did but I’m glad you did. And plus this video was definitely needed thank you 🙏
The neat thing about the 2.0T is that it comes turbo which allows for more modulation options but spending less. With my 3.8, I could turbo it but it'll cost me an arm and a leg where as you can at least mess with the 2.0T before having to replace the turbo with a bigger one. Stock for stock, the 3.8 is more powerful but you can get further with the 2.0T's through the headstart they get.
The turbo is done around 115mph if you are in a long race the 3.8 leaves you behind. Turbo is also more accident prone cause you take more risks with it in heavier traffic.
interesting.@@vg4472
I don’t have a genesis (I have a tiburon) but I’m looking to get one and I really want a 3.8 stick shift because i like the N/A feel of a vehicle and rowing through the gears
I always wave and flash my lights to tiburons, you're family as far as I'm concerned.
@@Loooooooooooooooool I do the same lol
@@Loooooooooooooooool the tiburon is what started the KDM genre for Hyundai makes sense lol
NA 3.8s are so beautiful n sound amazing. Need to try a 2.0
Tiburon is fam. I love em, I came from 3g eclipses. We have the same 6g72 platform. Sold that car and went to genesis coupe. 2.0t
I went with the 3.8 just for the overall power but I’m a fan of the 2.0 too
Slap a turbo on the 3.8, give it something like 50hp through 4-10lbs and you'll never regret it. Just be mindful of the internals, the power you put down the more likely something in the engine can break. Still, a 3.8 non-boosted is such a good investment.
@Forced Induction You want to balance around the engine. 500hp sounds nice, my comfort zone I want to grab for my 3.8 is 400. But at some point, you're breaking parts so it all depends on the life of the engine.
@@FatalFist I’m thinking about getting 2013-2014 3.8 manual but what’s difference between the r-spec, track and ultimate and what year you think is better?
I just got my 2014 2.0t last month and I love it. I was originally looking for a 3.8 but there were very few in my area and they were about $3k more on average than my 2.0t. Got my exhaust and intake already, just waiting for my racepipe. Nice video 👍🏾
I have the same situation lmao
I just got a 2013 2.0t and already threw a custom exhaust on it. This car is the best
How much was it?
@@zach5881 how much?
KoDNuddi just under $13,000 and it only had 54,000 miles
I went for 2.0T cuz it simply does the job.... I save the V6 on my SUV. I have been following your mod and put it on mine, from stereo to wheels, lowering, intake, BOV, SFR tune.... thanks to all your videos!! And the tune by far the best mod, it awakened the car, even more fun to drive and enjoy the boost!
That’s awesome!👊🏼
@@VehicleEvolutionwhat power modifications did you do before you got it turned? I’m asking because since my dealership didn’t have a Genesis coupe on the lot when I bought my Mazda3 but had some BK1’s a couple months later, but I’ve been wanting a BK2 2013-2014 because I just like the face lifted versions better and like that they upgraded the power output. So I just watched this video on why you choose the 2.0T over the 3.8 and now I’m thinking I’d want a 2.0T over the 3.8 myself and that you only paid $300 for a 1.5 stage tune, so what mods did you do before getting tuned?
this is my dream car since i got my license i’ve been waiting to own this car, where i live they are very rare and the ones that are being sold are really expensive.. some day.. i’ll one day have one :,)
How much are they? In my area I can find some for at 8k at max, 6k on good days.
Cheesy The Gamer my area it’s 15k 11-12k at best
OhhNito Ouch, i mean sometimes some in my area go between that, but it’s definitely possible to find some cheaper ones, I mean I found a mint condition garage kept one 110000 miles for 7000$
@@cheesythegamer9771 is a 2013 2.0t coupe for 16,000 ish a good price? it has 60,000 miles and I'm in california
@@RogelioGonzalez-bo6cq kinda expensive, I’m not sure about that area but try aiming for 10k
I have a '15 R-Spec 3.8 and never thought of getting the 2.0T. It was always the 3.8 or a 370Z or FRS/BRZ. Come to find out you can put on a bigger turbo on a 2.0T and get more of a power increase without costing an crazy amount of money. Just got a custom tune, downpipes, testpipes, and a Ferrari Asna Mid Muffler and what a difference. The car really is opened up. My main gripe was the throttle response before and it cleared that right up along with a gain of 37whp for a total of 276whp. I do Autocross and also had rear and sway bars added with Michelin Super Sport Cup 2 tires. I think for AutoX purposes the 3.8 trumps the 2.0T. Second gear holds well for this car. The next step would be a turbo for the 3.8 but honestly I'm content at the moment. The turbo for the 3.8 comes then it's forged internals to get more boost then your looking at the cost of what you could get a Camaro ZL1 for. This car your right isn't necessarily sought after for raw power it's for looks and over drivability which I'm happy to say I'm enjoying very much at the moment.
I went for the 3.8 mainly because it’s more reliable and it comes with more power without any mods
Not true at all. The 2.0T is Hella reliable. Just take care of it and don't beat it to hell.
Just got a new job and it’s put me in the market for a new car. Definitely been considering this😏
Same reason I’m watching this
Same here 😂
Just bought a 2010 2.0T R spec and i love it, its throwing me 3 codes so as soon as these get fixed i’m gonna start doing slight things like exhaust intake tailights etc
I opted for the 3.8 rspec. 2013 . 348hp stock for a v6 coupe is pretty stout. And its rear wheel drive. Love the body style and like the 2.0t also. 2.0t does have more upgrades, at least for the cheaper.
I went with the 2.0 because as a buyer from the Midwest I was limited on my options. I still love it though
My first Genny was a '10 3.8...after an accident I picked up a '13 2.0t and I love it...next mod is the tune and some cosmetic stuff...
Same exact years and reasons for me haha
Damn my first genny is a 2010 3.8 hell yea
I am the new and proud owner of 2013 2.0T Genesis. The reason I purchased it were the turbo and the awesome Genesis stlye and handling. Plus they told me about the tuneup before I bought her.
How is it doing
I was looking for a turbocharged RWD and the genesis 2.0t check all the boxes for me and the budget I had at the time. So I end up with my 2013 2.0T r-spec 6MT and I really enjoy it too. So far I have done intake, bov, and turbo back exhaust next is the tune. The car has being nothing but a blast to drive. 👍
Still running good?
Trying to get a 2.0t 2010 Genesis coupe. Wished I could get a newer year coupe but honestly they’re all beautiful cars to me, I want one so badly.
I had the choice between the FRS, BRZ, Toyota 86 or the 14 Gen coupe 2.0T. After driving all 4, ah yea the 14 gen coupe 2.0T WON hands down.
Dont get me wrong but those frs and brzs and 86's DO look good dropped with wheels on them but that boxer engine and only 200 hp was NOT going to cut it.
Im pretty sure the early Genesis Coupe 2.0t was only 200hp but with more weight.
@@UnitiveWILLIAM24 Yes it was 205 hp ... and about ~500lbs heavier.
Brz/86 has some of the best handling under 50 grand tho. At least it has something its great at unlike a 2.0t gen which is average across the board
@@lollol-xp4mc i didnt buy the genesis for handling ... lets get that straight. We got 2 different cars here, apples to oranges.
One is made for power and the other is made for handling.
You chose which direction to go. I chose POWER over handling because i am a straight away guy.
@@ACommenterOnUA-cam taking a brz up to 280-300 hp is all you need on one and not that hard to get to
Sweet ride. Car is clean and not overly done. Its perfect the way it is. I have a 2008 dodge caliber srt4 thats pretty much set up the same way for daily driving and its clean. Mine is all boltons and has a diablosport 93 octane tune. Its a beast on stock powertrain and stock turbo. I kinda feel like an old man in this world at 49 years old but i've always been into turbo cars. My last car was a 2012 mazdaspeed3. I guess we're never too old!!!!😊
Went with the 3.8
My friend owns a 370Z Nismo and I didn't want to blatantly pick up a Z. I originally wanted a BRZ but there's something about a coupe with a V6 that makes the Genesis awesome.
BRZ is only good for city or backroad driving. On the highway it sucks for long trips. 4K rpm at only 86 mph.
@@80s_Boombox_Collector Not to mention the power difference of 200hp vs the 3.8's 348hp. The 3.8 I have powers through the turns to the point where I get frustrated when someone is in an SUV going slow for me haha
Bought my 2.0T back in May. Best decision ever 😃
How is it holding up?
@@nychick1023 The car has held up very well. I'm I put about 50,000km on it withing 2 years and maintenance has been good. I did have a turbo leak and a damaged oil pan this year. Overall very solid car
@@AsianRodrigo you a G for answering this question a year later.
I had a 2003 Mustang that I was looking to trade in and saw the Genesis sitting at the dealership. I've never heard of them before and it looked badass so I bought it. 2013 Hyundai Genesis 2.0 with 8-speed automatic
I bought a 3.8 and look for about a year before I found the one I wanted in Arizona. I am in California it had 30,000 miles on it when I got it I’ve had it a couple years and it’s still only got about 32,000 miles love the body design and like you said I’m not the end of the speed love the corner and capabilities of it and I’m 74 years old.
I live in Switzerland and because gas prices are more than twice as high in Europe as they are in the US, I initially thought about getting the 2.0t but buying a 3.8 is cheaper because people tend to prefer smaller engines here (mainly because of the gas prices) so there is a higher demand for the 2.0t. Since there is a 85k mile 3.8 which already looks phenomenal, I am going to get a 3.8 as my first car. Thank you for the very informative videos
We have 2 Genesis coupe 3.8s one 2013 Track and 2011Track. We just picked up a 2.0T manual that we are building and transplanting the 2.0T engine into another ex-3.8 track that we picked up with a blown engine. The plan is 700HP for the motor because the other 2 3.8s are both built so new project and a lot of fun.... These cars are great for mods and great fun to drive with manual transmissions...
I chose the 2.0t because that was my dream car in high school. Im 27 have it for 8 yrs =D

I looked at probably 10 different genesis coupes before I finally bought my 2016 3.8 last year i've since sold it. I didn't like the no low end torque I didn't realize at the time to get the torque I wanted I needed a turbo. Now im looking for a 2.0
Loud ass BOV is my reasons 1 through 5 for having a 2.0. same year and colour as yours too.
I went with the 2.0 just cause I like the way an aftermarket BOV sounds
I love my 3.8 sedan! That engine is amazing.
Also I see you're in Maryland, where at? I'm in the DMV too!!!
DMV too. I’m northern VA!
@@frankydoyle3248 what's your whip?
I went with the 3.8 because of the starting HP, but I regret it because I want to build power, and building power on the 3.8 is expensive.
I have an ice blue 2.0T and love it! So happy with my choice! Thank for posting the video!
I had a BK2 3.8 for about a year. Unfortunately, I had a ton of problems with the manual transmission and diff, it was a street car and not driven hard. I loved the sound of the v6, probably one of the best sounding engines for the money. The torque was great, and it was smooth running. Personally, I’m partial to N/A cars over turbo, but the turbo cars are really solid. I didn’t love the rev hang in the 2.0T, either, but that’s not a problem for auto gearbox cars
Just bought a 2012 2.0T r spec ! And I love it
How is the fuel consumption?
I have a 16 3.8.. Not sure why just love at first site
you're my favorite genesis coupe youtuber. keep it up man, please don't stop making these videos
I have 2016 2.0T (euro version). Before I had 3.8 2013 (mpi), both of them shows 0-100 kmh around 6.5 secs
I got the 2.0t because I heard you can add more upgrades to it 👌 plus got a taste of the turbo excited to slap a turbo kit soon only downfall im having with the genesis coupe is passenger side leaking water inside but not major leak
It’s from one of the ac lines under the car, or from the sunroof seal
I went with the 2.0T because of the Turbo. If you mod the car up and compare it to other turbo cars 0-60, it's pretty freaking fast for a Hyundai. Look at the 2020 Q60 3.0TT. Stock 0-60 is like 5.4 seconds. The 2014 genesis stock 0 to 60 is 5.9 if I remember correctly(?). It is a great and fun car for the price!
i was looking into a mustang, FRS, 370z, and a genesis coupe, for the bells and whistles and for the price, i went with a 2013 genesis coupe 2.0T and loving it
how many miles does your genesis coupe have? i’n looking at one with 70k and wondering if i should pull the trigger.
@@everettbc4180 it has around 64k atm, you should go with a 2016 3.8 version, i only got the 2.0T cuz i wanted to cheap out 4-5k lol. also i was looking at this for my genesis
www.gencoupe.com/threads/tesla-style-stereo.734558/
Taeng Keu i’m definitely cheaping out 3-8k going with a ‘13 2.0t , here in CA they’re way overpriced, I also like the tune potential for the 2.0t, not really looking for aggressive power out the gate, i’d rather enjoy the aesthetic. i daily a corolla, so i don’t want to spend more than I have to , to acquire a genny Lol
The automatic was better until 2014, when they upgraded to carbon sincros for the manual, I also bought the car with 10k on it because it was just sitting there on the lot and I was blown away by the styling, out side and inside.
So I’m the second owner, I have owned a few cars in my 73 years on this plane of existence, first 1963 MGB, then 64 GTO, then 68 SS396 3speed manual, then 67 327 Corvette , then 69 427 Corvette both manual transmissions.
I’ve also had an 83 Audi Quattro turbo, and several Bimmers, my 69 427 vette at 465 HP could do 0-60 in about 5.8 seconds which was flying back then, this Gennie is faster and handles 100 times better. The only car I loved driving more was my brothers 93 white NSX, but again the Gennie is faster. I’m glad I got the 3.8 because I think in the long run it will be more reliable. Less internal pressures and heat, I do worry about carbon build up but have devised measures to deal with it. So keep up the cool videos and I might add some of my own soon.
I have one already at challengeaginglife, thanks. Karel.
What do you have planned to combat the carbon build up? Im hopefully getting a 2013 3.8bk2 and have read abojt carbon buildup but havent seen many ways to combat it. Car only has 60k miles on it
@@thecheezburger891 wallnut blasting
I got the 3.8 because I got a good deal on it. Love mine.
I went with my 2013 2.0t because it's easier to maintenance the engine and it was cheaper and way better gas mileage and I can mod it later on when I pay it off
Oh by the way can you do a video on a throttle controller and when you upgrade your turbo the best thing about that you can upgrade on your stock internals our engine are able to take up to 400hp with tuning the bk1 engine can't handle it im glad i got my bk2 love it and thanks again enjoy watching your videos just look into it when you can take care
how do you like your 2013 2.0t? i’m interested in getting one with 70k miles on it
Its great I love my car but if you going to get the car take it to the dealership to get a full inspection just to make sure the last owner took care of the car the first thing I look at it the interior it will say alot the the engine check for leaks list to if the engine knock and then the Rotors and brakes but it's a great car and affordable to maintain
I got a 2.0 bc it has a better displacement for the motor which gives a lot of space for twin turbos the sound is better gas I can use any type I want but wish it had more cup holders lol great car my last one saved my life they r built strong I flipped four times end over end and walked away from it great car when this ones motor goes I’m not gonna sell it I’m gonna build again until I die
I had a 2011 2.0t and sold it to get a 2013 2.0 R-spec. I choose the 2.0 over the 3.8 because I love the turbo spool, and I also love that it’s so much cheaper to get more performance out of the 2.0 then the 3.8, the 3.8 does sounds amazing but at the end of the day I like feeling boost and I will never not want a turbo sound
I have a 2013 genesis sedan 3.8 and the exhaust sounds amazing. I wouldn't mind hearing a turbo under the hood but my friend has a 2.0 coupe and overall i like the 3.8 better. What I really want is the 5.0 though haha
Should’ve got the 5.0 R SPEC sedan
I love my 2.0t gen. Like to get a tune for mine.
Look up SFR tuning for your 2.0T. $300
I have recently developed an appreciation for the genesis. I’m lightly modified with an ecoboost mustang and I’m curious how they would compare in a race.
I may be wrong, but I believe the genesis is lighter. It would be a good race, for sure. I think a full bolt on 2.0t Genesis would win due to the P/W ratio, but the 2.0t ecoboosts make almost the same HP as a 3.8, and stock.
@@remainingrex9471 the genesis is lighter by about 40 lbs but is down 35 hp and 75 tq. I also think mod for mod the ecoboost will make more power. I am a little more than lightly modified now (bigger intercooler and e30 with an exhaust) and I’m making around 410 at the crank, and I feel like the genesis probably won’t respond the same way. I do still think they are good looking and fun cars though.
I have a 2.0T and I bought it brand new back in 2013. I chose it because I was dumb, young and couldn't afford the 3.8. But, glad I did because 13+ 3.8s with the GDI engines have really bad carbon build up that cause the engine to prematurely implode on itself in 50-60K miles. the 2.0t was before hyundai went with GDI 2.0Ts engines like they do in the new N cars. I assume the new GDI engines will have the same issue as the other GDI engines. My 2.0t with a stock turbo, tune, and FBO is faster then any non-boosted 3.8 out there. I love the turbo sounds and spooling of the 2.0t as well.
I will say I like how the 3.8s sounds with a nice exhaust though and the cars balance is far superior to the 2.0t as well.
i got a 2.0T auto for my 16th birthday and i told my dad that i wanted a genesis, but i didn’t tell him which engine. so i ended up with sum nice turbo flutter🤞
I own and drive a 2013 2.0T modified Genesis coupe i love it. My reason was i wanted a turbo car sun roof and fog lights. If I was going to get a new car i may as well get the package deal. I daily drive it all year round this also involves winter driving. Overall its a fun car to drive with the 8 speed auto tri shift paddles sequential shift and car drives it self. I dont think i would change my choice.
People keep telling me that car sucks driving in the winter is this true ?
You need a good set of winter tires. The problem with these cars is they are rear wheel drive and light in the back end which makes traction in snow a bit sketchy. That’s also one of the things that makes them so fun in good weather though!
I used to work at a tow yard and i towed a "drug car" 2.0 3 times in one week. Yes that means they took it from the yard.. anyway sometime later i seen a mess of a 2.0 with a donut for a rear tire and the paint peeling, and the driver window down. I stared at it for two weeks until i sold 300 chrysler and went straight over and bought it. 2 years and about 14 g later.. fully rebuilt with new upgraded turbo. $ well spent, a head turner every where
I went 3.8 because stock it’s so much faster the bk2 of course if your ever in Cali hmu when can do some friendly runs and I’d love to show you a few things about the genny that will definitely help
I have a bk2 2.0, almost fbo and tuned, I live in Cecil maryland! Hopefully I see you riding about one day
I live in DE, and work in Millington. I'd love to hear your car sometime to help me decide between the 2.0 and 3.8!
Because turbo means plenty of aftermarket performance parts
Got the 3.8 for the easy exhaust snap crackle pop mod. And 348 hp with a just makes me want to drive everywhere
What mod are you talking about?
Hey buddy, I have the 2014 2.0 T R-Spec with the 6 spd Manual tranny. It currently has 18,000. miles. The only mod I’ve done at this point is the fresh air intake. I have a new down pipe and exhaust. I just haven’t had the time to install it. I’m looking to get the exhaust installed and get the SFR Tune.
Richard Carnahan I have the sfr tune and it’s great
The 3.8 bk2 ive heard will be more collectable and there going up in prices the 2.0 haven't gone up in value at all the 3.8 bk2 sound Amazing.
True, but a fbo 2.0 will beat a 3.8, unless the 3.8 is boosted, the only reason I’d get a 3.8 would be for sound, it’s pretty hard squeezing power out of those engines
Lighter weight, better MPG, mod-ability, the TQ of a turbo 4 could definitely be more preferable for certain driving styles, having the smaller motor "underdog" aspect, without even watching the full video I can see why someone would go for the 4. gonna watch it through tho.
I have a white ‘13 2.0t Prem. and it’s a really fun car to drive. Turbo noises are way too satisfying and the 2.0T is cheaper to modify as well. I have not modified her yet, but i’m looking in to getting a BOV because it’s cheap.
There is nothing better than hearing that turbo spool up and then the bov releasing during shifts ....
Thanks this video was so helpful for learning all the different sub models I appreciate it, this helped me find which one I will be searching for.
I chose the 3.8 (M/T) over the 2.0t because:
-the 2.0t needs thousands in mods to hit the same crank HP, if done properly.
-I can spend my thousands on body kit, hood, grille, etc first and still hit the same expected power marks as a modded 2.0t
-either of these motors making over 500hp should be getting some really serious components. Rear end, transmission, and lower end building. Not to mention the upgraded valve train, intake, exhaust, etc. Either way you're in for $10,000+ if you want something reliable. No reason not to stick with higher HP output, better sound, etc. Until you're ready to drop the big money on proper mods.
So the 3.8 makes the most sense for the highest avg HP over time modding it.
Although since the 2.0t models are cheaper, there is much more aftermarket available for them. I'm a mechanic as my day job and have fabrication supplies so the lack of aftermarket for bk2 3.8's does not scare me away from them.
i have a 2010 2.0t i got it for A the turbo and B the tuning potential also i read that it was alittle more reliable
Idk man my 2015 3.8 and my buddy at work has a 2013 2.0 and we both agree my shit feels like 1.5x as fast at minimum. Like you can literally feel it through 2/3/4, 1/5/6 not as noticeable. I’m looking at a 2012 w chalked engine for 4K ima see what I can fit in it, v8 genny coming soon.
Dude i been tryna find one for months but i just can’t and i want a 3.8 for sure
Try offer up
I went with a 2012 2.0t base. I wanted the r spec but they didnt have one on the lot. I went with the 2012 instead of the 2014 3.8 they had cus I liked the front end alot more, and i love the feeling of a turbo car. Completely stock the car is fast enough for me, I was able to hit 157 mph on the speedometer (in Mexico ;D ) First thing I did was replace the coils, rotors, and brakes with sets off a 2011 r spec. After that i did a hard transmission mount and limited slip diff (off the same 2011 r spec) and put it on Tien lowering springs. Haven't done anything else but im glad i got the 2.0t cus i have huge upgrade potential and endless aftermarket support, something you cant find for the 3.8
I chose the 2.0 because of the sound as well as gas economy
The 2014 3.8 has been maintenance free for me while the 2013 2.0 burned oil (leaked out of tailpipe), blew pistons twice bank 1 and the turbo cuts off around 115,
Blew spark plugs twice not pistons [= + it alse ran lean (engine light)
I’m about to pickup a BK1 2.0T tomorrow! Too excited to say the least, here in South Korea 🇰🇷 and already looking to tune and do some cosmetic add ons.
How much it cost?
KoDNuddi I picked mine up for $6,000.
What's bk1?
@@hyperloop7053 BK1 means 2009-2012 Genesis Coupe models. BK2 means 2013+ models.
@@GoMango_Scat_392 Is there a big difference ? I’m looking for a genesis but I’m not sure which one
The 3.8 sounds better with good stock power and is more reliable without the turbo.
My story is kind of magical. I wanted a Genesis for a long time. I had a Tiburon, which I loved. I bowl out in Normandy, MD. At one point they cancelled my league, so I was gonna stop bowling there. The day that I planned would be my last day bowling there, I just happened to look on the lot of the dealership, and there was my Genesis 2.0t sitting there for only $13k. I was like wtf? So after bowling, I looked into it, and it only had 30 something thousand miles. Price was low because it had accident history, but the accident was not enough to discourage me from buying. That's pretty much it. I wanted to buy a car that year, but I wasn't ready to get one at the time because I was going on vacation. I wasn't gonna let my car get away though. That was a deal of a lifetime!! It was between that, and an Accord coupe. Anyway thanks for reading.
I bought a 2015 3.8. Mostly because that was the only option that I had to choose from 😆. But for me there’s no replacement for displacement. Both great engines for the car but I just like the 3.8 more
I also have a tibby. Mine's an 07 GT auto, looking to get a 2012 Genesis with the 6 speed manual and 2.0t Thank you!!!
friend got a 2013 2.0 and at 100k it got rod knock because an oil sensor failed and the code refused to show until the knock was as loud as a bang. my friend is a 20-year-old girl and she was so used to the car shaking already with a/c on so she didn't notice it until too late.
well , i'm looking for a genesis coupe on europe , and the reason why i look for a 3.8 it's because it's a V6 , sound beter , the 2.0T sound pretty good but i always wanted a 6 cylindre car (or more, no mater V, VR, in line or what ever ) with ISR race exhaust the car sound amazing (a bit too loud but it's not for daily driving) , i search a BK2 , less issue but if i find a good 2.0T , bk2 not to expensive i'm probably gonna buy it
This video is great! I’m planning on getting a genesis coupe as long as it’s bk2 haha! The mileage that you mentioned really did help, I kept hearing people saying that they get 16mpg, 20mpg, etc. Does regular gas really affect the mpg on the car?
If you’re planning on putting regular gas in ur Genesis.. please dont
I easily get a all around average of 25 mpg in my 16 3.8 6 speed and I get on it a lot. Taking off the engine cover got me 2 mpg I was shocked at that.
putting in 91-93 high octane gives you better gas mileage and more power
I just upgraded from a 2007 2.0 Tiburon to a 2013 2.0t r spec and it just feels so much better. I just got it cuz it was available and I was able to sell the Tiburon for a profit too. What kind of tune were you talking ab for your car because I’m looking into tunes and don’t know if I should do a piggy back or bring it in somewhere
This is a very well put, and based argument!
I owned both and still own the 2014 3.8 Ultimate modified pipes & engine filter. The turbo was faster 80mph & under but the 3.8 kills it beyond that point & IMO the engine will last much much longer. I totaled the turbo btw [=
I own a 2013 genesis coupe 2.0t premium (canada). I go with the 2.0t for winter driving and turbo torque. Since 2 years I got intake, catback, donwpipe, colder spark plug and sfr 1.5. But the best upgrade except the tune is upgrade my open differential To an factory LSD from bk1 track and wow not same car even with stock suspension !!
How much?
I've had my 2010 2.0 since 2 miles and I currently like it more than my 2018 Camaro SS lol, it has alottttttttt of quirks and issues due to cheap material on window trims, bad grounding but once u nail it they ride soooo nice, the 2.0 is a much better option in my opinion, u can beat a 3.8s ratings with the same trim in a 2.0 T for just about as much as the 3.8 is off lot and have much more customization towards your likings than a stock car that's engine is unusually expensive to work on
And the manual transmission makes a huge difference in power due to poor tuning on the automatic tranny's
Speaking reliability wise, the 2.0 will take a lot of preventative maintenance to keep solid buttttt when something goes wrong with the 3.8 it's muchhhh more expensive.... Im putting 400 to the wheels on a stick engine with 180k now lol
Everyone says I'm lucky with my engine but I quite literally do a full year down and inspection once a year and nock on wood the cars never broken down in 12 years running 20psi
I have a 2016 3.8 which I plan getting it turboed
I love this video and I have BK2 2.0T MT.📹 from Korea
Hey man I’m thinking of getting a Genesis and was just wondering what bk2 is and what bk1 is? I keep seeing it, is it a tune?
this car is so much like my 328i i use 93 and my horsepower and torq pretty much the same except this car doesnt seem like a lot of maintance and i love the spoiler also is this RWD or can you get AWD
2012 gc premium and I absolutely love it
I had a 12’ 3.8 r-spec, wanted a turbo tho. So I bought a ‘15 3.8t r-spec 😂😂
Vehicle evolution dude you’re the best i watched your videos also I liked the center console and exhaust video I have a 2.0t premium because It was the only one I liked at the dealership and I’m sad because drew peacock dude said to return it and get a Honda or a 3.8 genesis coupe 😞
I would love this car but I can't get passed the gas mileage. My Sonata 1.6T gets about 38 mpg.
