Beyond Redline has brought the bar up again with the introduction of their prototype turbo kit for the 2.0T Genesis Coupe. While definate details are not yet available – they do claim their kits will fit all medium frame ball bearing turbochargers, from the GT28R to the GT35R. Click “Read more” to see the photos and video that we have mirrored here. If reports are as promising as their initial testings, 400whp with a GT30R turbocharger is very attainable, and should provide for a boatload of fun.

One of the biggest questions on everybody’s minds may be, “How did they get this thing together so quickly?” We knew in order to show up and play ball in this game we had to come big and fast, or go home. We studied the service manuals and even ordered a long block long before we even secured our Coupe. We knew that not only did we want to be first to the plate with our offerings; we wanted to make sure our plans were going to work, be solid, and perform extremely well for your dollar. 

Beyond Redline wastes no time at all – shortly after taking apart the engine to examine it, then taking apart the turbo to poke around, now they have bolted a new Garrett GT3076 turbo on with 600cc injectors and done a little tuning of the car with a AEM FIC. The end result is a blistering 344whp, though 400whp should be no problem for this turbocharger. Congratulations, we’re happy to see the progress on the Genesis Coupe 2.0T! Check out the ongoing discussion here at GenCoupe forums.

Earlier this week we took apart the stock turbocharger assembly and in the process completely destroyed most of our stock fasteners. We ordered new hardware but while our stock turbo was at the machine shop having everything drilled out and and re-tapped we decideded to see what we had on the shelf. After all we couldn’t put development on hold for many of our new products. Low and behold we found a brand new GT3076 turbo! Although I can’t really explain how we mounted it yet (prototype products and I don’t want to say anything until we finalize design) lets just say once its done you will be as excited as we are. Another point to note, our prototype exhaust system is out being prepared for production, so this is through the stock cat-back exhaust system!

Beyond Redline has taken apart the exhaust manifold and turbocharger assembly from the 2.0T Genesis Coupe. No surprises here, a typical log manifold with a rather small TD04-based Mitsubishi turbocharger. One interesting thing to note is the BPV is mounted right on the compressor housing, similar to what is done on the SRT-4 Neon. Disappointing though, on a car with double digit mileage they had problems removing the fasteners without breaking anything.

The factory fasteners leave a lot to be desired. The turbo-manifold studs and the cat to turbo studs stripped out and needed to be replaced. Not exactly what we were expecting after only putting 95 miles on the car Needless to say we ordered new ARP hardware for replacement to prevent this from happening again.

Beyond Redline has fabbed up their prototype bar and plate aftermarket intercooler upgrade for the 2.0T Genesis Coupe. They say that it is the largest core you can fit in the front end without structural modifications – and with a great high quality core this provides at least a 20hp improvement over similar aftermarket intercoolers.

Just a few notes regarding the core selection….Growing very tired of cheap Chinese knock-offs we embarked on a journey last to find a better alternative. We partnered with an OEM supplier to develop this core design to have the maximum flow with the least amount of pressure drop and to optimize it for small displacement engines. After a few revisions we have determined that this is the absolute best combination available. Through real world dyno testing we found our core to provide over 20WHP gains over competitors products. Additionally it recovered quicker from heat making more repeatable and reliable results.

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.
