Hello from AMS Performance!

**Eric@AMS** · #1 03-09-2009, 07:55 PM

Hello Genesis coupe owners. Before I get into our latest endeavor I wanted to introduce our company to you. Most of you might not have any idea who or what AMS Performance is. Some of you might have a very good idea.

AMS Performance is a forced induction specialist based out of West Chicago Illinois. We specialize in high quality, race proven components for most import turbocharged vehicles. Our current catalog spans from the Mitsubishi Evolution 8,9 and 10 to the Subaru STI and even the Nissan 240sx. Recently we have started working with Porsche, Nissan GT-R, the BMW N54 Engine and now the Genesis Coupe!

Our standards of quality are unsurpassed by anyone in our industry with 35 full time salesman, technicians, fabricators and engineers we have a team that can not only design and build the best products on the market but support them as well. Our 20,000 square foot facility is state of the art and allows us to do complete turn key production. We can go from Idea to rapid prototype to hard component very quickly. We employ some of the best fabricators, engineers and engine technicians in the country

Here is a sample of our new Exhaust manifold for the EVO X 4B11 from CAD to rapid prototype. The engineers can go from a design model to a rapid prototype within days. Using this system we are able to not only provide the best performing, best fitting and longest lasting parts...we can also get them designed quickly!

We do not just make parts...we test them as well. When an AMS part gets tested it doesn't just get slapped on any car. We subject our parts to the most grueling of scenarios. If a part can survive on our race cars...it can survive on your street or race car. Using this testing system we are not only able to make our parts reliable but we are able to fine tune them to make sure they perform above the competition.

Here are some of our race cars and sponsored cars putting AMS products through the ultimate test:

AMS EVO VIII Drag car, the Quickest EVO VIII in the word

AMS pikes peak Time Attack 2008 Champion

AMS EVO Making 1130 all wheel HP....on just boost

Ivans AMS 240SX KA-T, Fastest stock suspended KA24 in the world

Our philosophy on tuning is much like that of our product development. Making power is important but making safe, reliable power is our number one goal. A car will never leave our doors with an AMS tune unless it is capable of making consistent reliable power.

Here is a Quote from the president and owner of AMS performance, Martin Musial

"What many people don't realize is there is so much more to an engine tune than just WOT and peak horsepower. If the car is a dedicated drag car that might be ok, but for 99% of car owners it's not. Everything from driveability, cold start, fuel economy, and even idle quality make any car enjoyable and safe to drive. These areas of tuning are many times overlooked and are actually the most time consuming and difficult to perfect. WOT tuning can take a few hours, while driveability and running quality of the car can take a whole day sometimes. OEM engine calibrators literally have hundreds of hours in tuning the factory ECU so that it’s as perfect as it can be, this can not be replicated in one hour of dyno tuning no matter what anyone tells you.

I do my best to make sure a car will drive, start, idle the same if not better than a stock ECU. The only limiting factors of driveability sometimes involve engine management systems with limited functions and extreme engine modifications. A piggy back ECU controller or radical camshaft selection can prevent 'OEM like' driveability.

Another tuning aspect I'd like to discuss is reliable horsepower. I'd rather enjoy 400 horsepower for the life of my car rather than 440 horsepower for 10 passes, wouldn’t you? Since most of my customers run on pump gas, I carefully take into consideration the ability to make horsepower while minimizing detonation. Detonation will kill an engine, and the severity of it will determine when the fun will stop. It's a ticking time bomb and my goal is to diffuse it. My tuning process involves starting conservatively and then increasing power while carefully monitoring the knock sensor output and reading spark-plugs. I make sure that with my tune, the customer can throw almost any kind of abuse at the engine and it will survive." - Martin Musial

This brings me to our latest project. Ivan one of our lead technicians is purchasing a Genesus coupe 2.0T. This year AMS will be working with the 2.0T and producing a full line of parts. We are confident in our ability to not only make power with the Genesis coupe but to make reliable and safe power. So in the coming months you can expect a lot more posts from Ivan, myself and our staff here at AMS as we strive to make the best products made for the Genesis coupe right here in the USA!

Thank you sincerely for taking the time out to read about our company and what is on the horizon for our Genesis coupe. Please feel free to ask any questions at any time and I will do my best to answer them.

Our site is deficient of Genesis products at the moment but in the coming weeks and months as we finalize products we will be populating our new site. In the meantime if there is a product anyone is looking for please do not hesitate to call or PM. We deal with several companies and there is a good chance we can not only get what you are looking for but also get it at a good price.

Thank you,

one of the great things about AMS getting into the Genesis coupe is our current work on the 4b11 in the EVO X. As most may know its a very very similar motor...almost identical.

This is great news for 2.0T owners as we already have an engine program already active. With custom pistons, rods, sleeved engine block and even a CNC head program already in place.

Its time to make some POWER!

here are some pictures of our 4b11 motor for the EVO X durring its sleeving process.

AMS and BR both on board..nice
I'm really interested to see what Genesis Coupe does.

GenX · #4 03-11-2009, 01:38 AM

I want to get the first AMS bolt in turbo upgrade, AMS FMIC, AMS turbo back exhaust, AMS IC piping, AMS intake tube and AMS flash.

How soon will they be ready?????????

Eric are you guys going to be doing any V6 mods!!! Everyone is jumping on the turbo band wagon and haven't seen much for th 6 yet!!

Chris@AMS · #8 03-13-2009, 05:27 PM

Hi guys!! Just wanted to pop in and let you guy know that I will be directly involved with tuning all of your rides.

As we get further into these cars I will have all kinds of tuning solutions for you, from mail-in to email based, to tuning trips to your area for custom tuning your setup for the most power. I look forward to making some power for you guys!

This is nice but I hope you guys aren't here to ripoff wouldbe GC owners. It will be great to have someone on this side of the pond to offer quality parts, however I hope they aren't at mercedes/BMW prices.

bkprodigy · #10 03-15-2009, 12:06 AM

^AMS makes proven parts. They don't need to ripoff GC owners to make money.

There not a need for anyone to ripoff anyone, but it happens. I hope I'm blowing hot air here and this will only be just one of a many that will be available to Hyundai owners.

I have a Pontiac GP and no from years of experience how this could end up working for some new kids on the blocks. The Genesis is definately some new kids on the block that maybe eager to spend money maybe wise spent somewhere else.

LOL... AMS has a stellar reputation and goes out of its way to NOT sell parts that just don't work. I think AMS is the only Evo X tuner that does not offer or sell a down pipe for the Evo X because it just does not increase performance. They also did not offer a cold side pipe for the Evo X due to such small gains and only started recently offered it due customer interest and for fitment for a CAI.

The parts and service from AMS is second to none.
