Any word on Evo X turbo compatibility?

[bkprodigy]

I know its a still too bit early, but who knows.

Anyone heard anything about fitment of Evo X turbo on GC?
If that's possible, oh man,,endless possibility without breaking one's wallet.

We're talking about very easy 350-400whp out of these turbos, and if one wants more, FP stock framed turbos that make even more.

I haven't heard anything but I would have to imagine that it wouldn't be too hard too do. The only thing that might be different between the two is that the Evo's engine bay might have more room for the turbo. I've only seen a handful of pics of the Genesis coupe's engine bay and once they were modded it looked like room was kinda tight. With that HKS setup it looked like the intercooler was on top of the motor kinda similar to WRX/STi's

If you would rotate the evo 10 motor into a longitutal position then it would face the firewall. So if the coupe's turbo face the firewar and by some chance has a reverse snorkel to face forward then there might be a chance of swapping out manifold and the whole turbo kit but I doubt it will be feasable.

I have seen people do some crazy creative stuff to get big turbos into a car too.... Turbo kit companies might even come up a Genesis coupe special before too long. Maybe not FP, but there ARE a lot of others out there who are capable.

I can't wait to find out, but I think the next question might be: what comes first? The turbo or the engine management?

The stock turbo certianly appears to be more closely related to the caliber srt-4's turbo. I havn't seen pics of its layout, but I bet it is differnet from the EVOs.

^ you crash my idea of buying a used r-spec and evo X turbo. lol

I was thinking about picking one of the R-spec as a daily also. In reality, upgrade turbo kits will be pretty common anyways. I am sure this block will accept the 2.4 crank out of the Caliber SRT-4 to make this one a 2.3 also I will match my 2.4l Talon well

 

[bkprodigy]

^ yea, but I could get a used X turbo, manifold, 02 housing, lines for about $500 and make 400whp on meth/e85 all day long.

It will be interesting to see what kind of support this car will get from the A/M companies. I'm definitely keeping an eye on this one.

The Genesis Coupe has an open deck while the EVO X motor has a semi-closed deck.

Genesis Coupe

It is indeed an open deck design. That SUCKS

 

[kortERHorse_281]

ok, what's that mean !?!?

i know quite a few people would like o know, myself included.

The difference between the two decks is that theoretically, a semi-closed deck block is capable of handling more boost due to the extra structural ribbing on the cylinder walls, where as an open deck block does not have the extra ribbing and theoretically can handle less boost. A good example of this is the EJ205 block of the 02 - 05 WRX's when compared to the EJ257 or EJ255 blocks on the current turbo Subaru's.

Open deck engine : Easiest to cast also cheapest. Which is why this is put in Genesis Coupe...There is big empty water passage between cylinder wall and block, and thus theoretically unable to hold extreme cylinder pressure at high boost applications.

example :
bmw 3 series- open deck aluminum block

Semi-closed deck engine : different casting method, more expensive and harder to cast than open deck. More cylinder wall rigidity than open deck but still,,its no closed deck.
example :
EvoX 4b11t - semi-closed deck aluminum block

[/URL][/IMG]

Closed-deck design : different casting method which requires more material and time. All of the engines which produce gobs of hp/displacement are closed-deck.
example :
Evo 4g63 - closed deck iron block

[/URL][/IMG]
supra 2jz-gte - closed deck iron block


Rb26dett is also closed deck iron block. e46 m3 engine is closed deck and e92m3 engine is closed deck aluminum block.

Iron sleeving could strengthen the cylinder wall and some say lots of people have been making good power with open deck engines. But displacement to displacement, open deck design will NEVER make same power output as closed deck design, much less aluminum block as opposed to iron block.

just look at supra block which makes 800whp safely on stock bottom.
Evo's 2 liter makes 1000+whp when built.
So not only internals are cast on genesis coupe, the block design is open deck. I guess we'll see how much power this can hold up.

just curious, i believe i have the EJ255 in my 05 STi.

semi closed or what !?!?

You have EJ257...unless you got a wrx block in your Sti.
semi-closed deck aluminum block.

 

[blues2k03]

Even the EJ255's are semi-closed deck blocks.

hi guys, I'm new here but i own a shop called Design Craft Fabrication. We just finished builds a Genesis Coupe with a turbo upgrade, coilovers, exhaust, Brakes and a crap load of other things. but to answer this thread, No the turbo doesn't fit. a matter of fact the EVO X manifold doesn't even fit. I also have an EVO X and I tried putting all the parts on it. no luck. I'll post pics and the dyno sheet later but i need i have to be careful about it since it's gonna be in 0-60 magazine.
