  • Hint: Use a descriptive title for your new message
    If you're looking for help and want to draw people in who can assist you, use a descriptive subject title when posting your message. In other words, "I need help with my car" could be about anything and can easily be overlooked by people who can help. However, "I need help with my transmission" will draw interest from people who can help with a transmission specific issue. Be as descriptive as you can. Please also post in the appropriate forum. The "Lounge" is for introducing yourself. If you need help with your G70, please post in the G70 section - and so on... This message can be closed by clicking the X in the top right corner.

Hi,

I have a 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe, 3.8L -6 speed - Grand Touring Edition. Back in 2010 I had a pro shop put on an AEM Cold Air Intake and they sent my ECU out to be reprogrammed (Flashed). The mechanics (first Genesis coupe they worked on) were blown away by the results. I posted dyno results on this site or another a while back. Not going there again as no one believed me and it took me forever to figure out how to do it.

Anyway, I blew my motor recently by sucking water when I went through a puddle too deep, silly me.

Anyway, insurance covered a brand new motor. But the car was not the same. The mechanic said he didn't touch any ECU.

So I decided to have it redone. Now I used SFR-USA based out of PA. I got he stage 1.5 flash, premium gas, push button start.

Holy Sh&^t !! The results are off the fuc#@cking charts. I did not nor will I dyno it as I don't need to. It feels like the car is super charged. I was doing 140 (un knowingly) the other day on the highway and only in 5th gear. It's so much improved it's insane.

Only drawback is you are without your car for a couple days as to get the $300 deal, you need to send them your ECU, they flash it same day they get it and send it back. I used overnight services so I was out 1.5 days.

I highly recommend. AEM is cheap and easy to install and the SFR reflash is easy to do as well, I'm not a mechanic and actually not mechanically inclined.

My opinion, don't get CAT Exhaust. My car looks stock. I smoke cars now like there is no tomorrow and I look like I'm stock. The CAT exhaust gives you away..

Just my opinion.

Good Luck !!

Can you just buy the ecu I want to keep mine incase I need warranty work done ?
 
Looking to update and upgrade your Genesis luxury sport automobile? Look no further than right here in our own forum store - where orders are shipped immediately!
You can, but it costs a lot more.

This is the reason to not get a CAI. Puddles happen and blown engines happen. A properly designed SRI is a lot better because it can't suck up water. Yeah the CAI air is going to be cooler, but a good SRI with a hot air shield, thermal wrapping and reflective tape will run very cool.
 
does sfr usa have a ecu reflash for the 3.8 sedan by any chance?
 
Not that I know of. BTR does though, if you want specifics give them a call. Tailwalker has been spearheading the tune for the 4.6 ECU
 
i still havent done anything i wanted to the car yet. its pretty much just a dream right now for this project to lift off.
 
Low WHP gains with NA cars through a refresh. It feels faster because the DBW sensitivity is adjusted, but that effect wears off soon after you get used to it
