V8 Owners/4.6 Owners

[amartz]

BTR does have a tune for the 3.8 sedan. Reach out to them!

I'd love to hear the results!

I'd love to hear the results!

I'd say the results are favorable.

I'd say the results are favorable.

What makes you say that? Do you have a dyno chart or anything to share? I have not seen anyone share detailed information on the 3.8 sedan tune yet.

The fact that BTR posted this on their page on March 30th:

'Supercharged 3.8 Genesis Sedan from Korea.

Tuned by Blood Type Racing Inc. master tuner

And yes.. we CAN tune your 3.8 Genesis sedans here and currently working on a solution for the v8 variants '

Just like the 4.6, there are no canned tunes yet as they have not had enough vehicles come to tuning events to determine a safe canned tune for every climate.

Maybe I was unclear on what I was asking. I was not questioning whether or not they actually perform the tunes, I was more questioning what type of results they were seeing from the 3.8. A supercharged 3.8 is one thing but I would think most of the few people who would be interested in a tune would be NA.

If you have a look at the Coupe gains, it would be right on par. I know that a friend has the coupe V6 up to over 400hp w/meth and 6lbs boost. I believe he is on stock internals, but will be building the low end this winter. I can find out more if you like.

 

[Sleepr24]

Thx Tail, I would def like to hear more about this. Also, just as a side note, I found another guy named Frank who is famous for being one of the first tuners for BMW M3's that says he can also tune the 3.8 genesis. He is out of Crofton, MD so he is within driving distance of me as opposed to having to ship my ECU to BTR. I plan on using him and I will post results here when I do.

Who is this guy? There are relatively few Genesis tuners and just about all of them are well known in the community.

His Name is Frank Smith and he runs\owns TTSF. He has been in the car game for decades and is pretty well known (albiet maybe not in the genesis scene).

Pretty well known on M5board, yup

Let me know if you go this route - I'd like to pop by. I live right by Arundel Mills.

All I really want is the supercharged 3.8 or the BTR TT Kit...

I haven't heard his name yet in the Genesis scene. I'm curious to know what he's tuning with as options are fairly limited and its rare to have someone develop something in house to test a market.

I promise to let you know before hand but I am looking at next month.

I imagine this would be a very expensive en-devour.

I will let you know as I get more details. He is really good friends with a coworker of mine who he has basically tuned and rebuilt his M3 many times over the years for. I think a major reason why he agreed to do it for me was because my coworker asked. Not sure he is getting into the market or not for genesis sedans but he did mention he tunes Hyundai's (I assume the coupe's)

You would definitely surprise some folks with that build, especially us 5.0 owners lol.

 

[Tailwalker]

Matt, you can do whatever you want man....just as soon as you're out of warranty. lol

Yeah Sleepr, just shoot me a PM when you're going to head down. I'll drag the old girl out for a spin.

Also - spoke with BTR yesterday - they'll get back with me in a few weeks regarding all the particulars for the 4.6

 

[Tailwalker]

Question - Realistically, who would be interested in a turbo setup for the 4.6? Understanding cost. This will not be a cheap upgrade. I'm working with a local shop, and if there are multiple orders, we may be able to work something out that benefits everyone.

PM me with questions and solid interest.

thanks

Speed = Cubic Dollars

Yes indeed, I spare no expense when building a car. Take a look at my current setup.
