First Generation lsx or coyote swap R-spec sedan

[carguy75]

There is a company that actually sells a LS swap kit for the coupe. You should contact them and see if it might work with the sedan.
ISR Performance / ER Spec - LS1 Swap Kit - Hyundai Genesis Coupe

Blasphemy!!!! A Chevy LS motor in a Korean car!!!! However I own both a Cadillac and a Hyundai so I am cool with the idea.

Damn, they can squeeze an LS V8 engine into anything it seems.

Nothing until we can get the ecu hacked...

Btw by 3.8 ecu cracked and tuned by alphaspeed 5.0 I'm sure is soon to follow

I’m looking to ls swap my Hyundai Genesis sedan 2010 with a 6.0 vortex or 5.0 which ever one I can get my hands on first

Yes that is exaclty what my plans are but they have once again been delayed because i cant at this time down my car. and not really wanting to bail out 650.00 for genesis intake to hack up for cad. On a good note i have found a guy in central Louisiana that has had decent luck with tuning the hyundai ecu. His concern is the fuel needed to supply with upgraded injectors as we all know the 5.0l genny is gdi...

I picked up a 5.0 intake off ebay for 25 dollars I am going to have it ported and a throttle body for 85 dollars that I already had bored out went from 82mm to 85mm sent it to maxbore. Don't pay 650 for a new intake.

May want to check junkyard places or I have found some parts from Ebay from recycle shops and they have had 2012 and 2013 genesis rspec sedans available.

Sell the genesis and buy a foxbody for the coyote or late 70s early 80s malibu for the lsx. The weight savings alone would be worth the time and effort. Swapping the genesis would be cool if you just wanted to say you did it but it would be a LOT of time and money wasted if you were going for performance. You would be putting yourself at an 1100-1300 lb disadvantage right from the start.

Has anyone thought of or done this yet? I am in the process of doing my do diligence on the swap and it seemed to be pretty straight forward, but after doing some additional research I have hit a road block with the TCM. If anyone knows about the correlation feeds please elaborate because I really do want to keep my 8 speed tranny vs swapping to a 6 speed. One more thing does anyone know if the clutch pedal assembly out of the coupe will fit into the genesis sedan.View attachment 13048

How did it go?
