[CHAOS]

LMAO i sat in that car.

tell him theres a dent in the hood. noticed it when me and Oakes were looking at it.

[The Captain]

Turbo or v6?

[CHAOS]

thats a v6

[doug]

holy green.

[twastheglow]

I like the car...don't like the color.

[WRX_JB]

the 6 is def faster then the turbo one drove both , Granted thats prob a no brainer but just thought i would toss it in there. i like the green

[BlackBulletTSi]

Its starting to grow on me a bit. I wanna maybe get the turbo 4 I'm debating it lol

[twastheglow]

I know it's brand new to the market, but can anyone tell me what kind of power/psi the stock 4 can handle safely and conservatively?

AMS is working on finding that out.

AMS was able to get 18.5lbs with a MBC before it was computer limited. Not normal injector fuel cut though the Dump valve/Diverter Valve/Blow Off Valve gets forced open.

AMS has tons of goodies on the way for the turbo model.

From AMS where they are at to this point on their Dyno Jet:

Alright, I am going to spill the beans on today's dyno pulls, but you will have to wait till Monday for actual dyno charts. Chris will be posting them up as soon as he has time to go through them.

Our baseline dyno numbers on 93 octane fuel are 192 WHP and 219 lbs Tq (SAE corrected) with the 100% bone stock car, stock boost control and no tuning at all.

Today with JUST BOLT ON AMS prototype parts, we put down 212 WHP and 220 lbs Tq (SAE corrected) still on stock boost control and no tuning at all.

Well, the 20 WHP gain is quite nice but only 1 more lb of TQ??? What the hell am I so excited about (you might be asking)??? Well let me tell you. These are just PEAK numbers. To fully appreciate the gains you must see the dyno charts. With the stock turbo, you make peak Tq very low in the RPM range due to the boost rapidly falling off after hitting its peak. The gains we were seeing with the bolt on parts are at a higher RPM range. The gains in HP and Tq start at 3500 rpms and HP gains are consistently 20 WHP from 4000 rpms to red line. The Tq curve has flattened out quite a bit. If boost did not drop so drastically, I am sure we would see a VE similar to the Evo X motor where the TQ just stays flat and HP keeps climbing.

After the disappointment in the cat back and secondary cat delete dyno testing, I was confident that there was still a cork (or three) in the system and obviously I addressed those today. The difference in today's dyno testing was the prototype AMS down pipe, prototype AMS intercooler and prototype AMS intercooler piping. One (or all three) of these items freed up the HP I just knew was there.

Now before you say "well, that was ONLY 20 WHP", let me explain something else. As I have mentioned before, I believe that the Gen Coupe was not showing gains because we are not leaning on the car that hard. In stock form, this car is only rated at 210 crank HP. This is only 2/3ds of the Evo X rated crank HP. I have always had the opinion that if we were starting with 300 HP, the gains from bolt on parts would be more. Well........... just to prove this, I TURNED THE BOOST UP with the AMS bolt on parts!!! Here is the proof.


With the 100% bone stock car and no tuning at all, we were able to run a peak of 18 psi dropping to 12 psi at red line (before hitting boost cut). We made 204 WHP and 249 Lbs Tq. (SAE Corrected)

With the AMS prototype bolt on parts and no tuning at all, we also were able to run the exact same peak of 18 psi dropping to 12 psi by red line. We made an incredible 236 WHP and 237 Lbs Tq. Again, peak Tq does not show the full picture as it happens well before the gains from the AMS bolt on parts.

That is 32 WHP gains from just the AMS bolt on parts at this boost level!!!! This proves that the stock components are choking the motor and the more you turn the boost up, the more the stock components are going to rob power. Now imagine the gains you would get from the bolt on parts at 300 WHP!!!

I hope you can all see why I am excited now. If not, the dyno charts Chris will post should explain everything.

P.S. Uncorrected (ACTUAL) numbers today were 241 WHP and 243 Lbs Tq!!![/COLOR]

[grimm]

not a fan of the green...but kudos to him :)

[Buster]

I didnt like that color on BMWs either, AMS is a bunch of crazymen.

Nice pick up though.

Thanks for the info...that's quite interesting.

[97TurboDSM]

well he certainly couldnt have picked a worse color. i give it a month till hes tired of lookin at that **** in his driveway

[zerioustt]

How can you assume what color people like? Lmao

[poisonivory]

i like the color actually. not LOVING it, but i'd rock it..tint that bytch and it'll look a lot better IMO.

[JDMTyler3326]

The color is OK but the car is SICK!

[twastheglow]

Just out of curiosity, and not to sound like a dick, but did he choose that color or was that just what they had in stock?

[lownslow95]

Looks good, but goddamn that color is hideous.

[R22B]

I didn't know VW Beetles and Genesis Coupe's shared the same paint codes. ;).

I love the car... the paint is... bright.

[01bb6er]

paint is interesting to say the least. Would look better with some black wheels with a color matched lip i think

[Vr-4-Life]

I dont mind the color..

[boostedfury]

looking cool....i say slam it rims done

[terrorcel]

I like the color, def different. I would have taken the turbo just for the tuning potential but whatever floats their boat.

[kunt_masha]

not a fan of that color


but i do like the genesis... hyundai is movin on up

[forced_induction]

too green

[Saab93Aero]

that green with draw too much attention, esp. if ur out racin around. ppl will be like "yo, look at that saturn ion wheelin! wait, was that a prius?":bigeek:


but to each his own

[WRX_JB]

Just out of curiosity, and not to sound like a dick, but did he choose that color or was that just what they had in stock?

he choose went to a couple dealerships to find it

[WRX_JB]

I like the color, def different. I would have taken the turbo just for the tuning potential but whatever floats their boat.

He is putting out the money to do a TT set up

[Honest_Bob]

Nice, I like the color.

[MissMitsu]

Nice car, but, I would've gone with the 4 banger. 240RWHP w/ bolt on's is damn close to the V6 model power wise. Maybe modding isn't his thing though.

Props to him on not cheaping out and getting the Brembos!

[cszakolczai]

he choose went to a couple dealerships to find it

He actually thought, hey you know that color that babies vomit? Yeah, I want that on my new car. Whatever pulls his trigger.

He is putting out the money to do a TT set up

Does anyone even have a TT setup in the works? If not he'll be waiting for a while or he's really ****in rich.

[06WRBScoob]

starting at 25k i dont think i could do that for a hyundai, then mod it only to get smoked by anything else for the money. But to each there own

[WRX_JB]

he is really ****ing rich haha , he is loooking to put like 9gs into on top of what he just spent

[justinlansdale]

i'm buying the r-spec in 2010, i've decided.

[vdcoff]

i like the color, it's differant, you JDM guys should like it, with all your wacked out colored wheels, blacked out wheels and tint will set that **** off!!!

[WRX_JB]

i just posted to get him a quote hopefully il get a call or a reply

[vdcoff]

i just posted to get him a quote hopefully il get a call or a reply

i saw that, i was gonna get my wheels powder coated by them, but its my DD and i can;t afford a long down-time.

[Airbagged6]

damn that car looks nice. I LOVE THAT COLOR

[SpEcRv9]

from the front I am not a fan of that color...but from every other angle I like it alot!...

but I still would never purchase that color car.
