Beyond Redline Disassembles 2.0T Motor With Pictures
Update 20090309: It seems we got some details wrong. Pointed out by JGP at the AutoBlog comments, and according to this article on Wikipedia, Hyundai was the company that did the initial design on the engine, who then provided the engine to Mitsubishi, who then modified the engine to their specs. Euclid at NASIOC also mentioned that the 4B11 is a Mitsubishi designation, and that the only thing these blocks share are a common base design. As stated before, Hyundai did the initial engine design, which they then shared with Mitsubishi. Mitsubishi then modified their design to work in their cars, it it should be that the new Evo X 4B11T and the Ralliart 4B11 are based on the Hyundai\Chrysler\Mitsubishi World Engine design. It is NOT a 4B11, it is simply related to the 4B11. Sorry, and thanks to those who tipped us!
Beyond Redline has taken apart the 2.0T motor used in the Genesis Coupe with some nice pictures. As expected, the block is sourced from the 4B11, the motor used in the new Lancer Ralliart (not to be confused with the 4B11T used in the Lancer Evolution X). [EDIT: Please read the update above, this engine, while related to the 4B11 is not the same block]. It looks like it has a beefy crank and stout rods with a 86mm\86mm stroke and bore, making it a square motor which is great for high revving madness. Beyond Redline expects 400whp at around 8000 RPM an easy goal with supporting mods but an otherwise stock block. With piston oil squirters it also looks like it will be very tunable to produce plenty of power. One disappointment is that it is an open deck block. High boost can possibly warp the cylinders into ovals, so for high power applications the block may need some reinforcement called block guards to reinforce the cylinder walls. The tradeoff is better engine cooling and the possibility to tune the engine more aggressively with less boost to make more power. Compare this to the 4B11T, which has a semi-closed deck with supports all around the cylinder. More pictures after the jump, or click here to see the thread on GenCoupe with all the details.
Hi guys. The insides of this motor look pretty promising. Other than the rods and pistons, the rest looks decently strong. I do have to sonic test the walls, and may go so far as to machine out a sleeve just to see what type and how thick of material was used. Either way being that it is a factory turbo motor, it has to be stronger than a honda block. In stock form I would expect that this wouuld hold around 400 whp, but only time will tell.

Ths is really disappointing to find out the block is from the Ralliart. I thought this was a brand new motor that Hyundai built from the ground up. I suppose there 3.8 liter motor is from the Eclipse huh?

Actually, Jim, Mitsubishi builds some of the best, most fierce performance engines in the world. The fact that it’s the same block in the Ralliart, which is a derivative of the Evo is what precicely makes me take this car seriously. When I think of Hyundai engines, performance isn’t really top of mind.

I have know about this car for a very long time. Needless to say i’m absolutely sick of trying to correct people (like some sport compact mags….super street) who say that its a mitsu motor and hyundai stole it! That is not true and thanks for pointing that out to all of the readers who are not familar with hyundais. I have been working on and tuning hyundais for over 10 years now. They have come a long way and am anxious to get my hands on my own “theta turbo” aka the 2.0t track edition. should be amazing to see what we can do with it.
andy - May 18, 2009
the 2.0 gc engine is like the mitsu engine but not the same… and the 3.8 is like Nissans VQ engines… 2.0 has 223bhp on prem fuel and about 195whp…. 3.8 has 312bhp on prem fuel and 279whp
