You guys do realize the 4G63 was stuffed into tons and tons of Hyundai Sonatas and Elantras right?

 

sounds awesome to find a stock one, or so the seller says... you never know someone could have just put it back to stock still thats WAY TOO MUCH for one of those IMO




well they do share the same motor only the genesis have a detuned evo X motor


yea more like motorswaped after the stock motor died or someone was just trying to have a real deal sleeper... i don't recall hyundai in the past ever of having any type of quality anything years back. they were notorious for making ugly cars that broke down, and you wouldn't want to be caught dead in one

 

get the 9 or 8

 

This is not true, the Genesis turbo motor and the Evolution X motor were developed completely independently. Even the basic non-turbochaged 4B11, Hyundai Theta engine, and Chrysler GEMA engine all have differences with very few exchangeable parts between them and different engineering goals behind them.

No that's not what I meant. The 4G63 came as a factory stock engine in Hyundai Sonatas and Elantras for a very long time. Hyundai and Mitsubishi have been partners for a very very long time, since before the first Evo was even on the market.

The Evolution IX has more in common with a 1988 Hyundai Sonata then an Evolution X has with a Hyundai Genesis.

 

AS to your first comment i'll say ok... i really don't have that much knowledge to that, nor do i care to.... other then they the evo X has a bigger turbo. the hyundai Theta engine is in the gen coupe, it also has a tiny turbo it.

as for the the 4g63 being in older hyundai cars, now that i just did a tad of research these were not the turbo charged versions of the ones that come in evos.. these were single cam non turbo variations of the 4g motor as well as dual cam non turbo motors. i still see nothing more in common with them. obiviously you were once a hyundai owner lol

Not a previous Hyundai owner, just a guy who has a little thing called knowledge before he tries to spread "information". Glad you learned something today

 

Evo 8 or 9 + girlfriend = complaints about the "unrefined" suspension

edit: also - even though the Evo 8/9 has more of a raw (stiff) feel to it, the Evo X actually does handle better. according to motortrend, the Evo 9 MR can pull .95 G through a turn, while the Evo 10 can pull .99 G through a turn. plus the Evo X has more low end torque, so it's also more powerful in the low RPM range.

 

regardless of what "knowledge" you have.... hyundai back when they used 4g63 motors in 3 of their models were still straight crap.... why do you think you rarely see any of the older models still driven around????

 

130hp NA versions....

 

My girlfriend hasn't complained about the suspension ever, but she did say that she thought the seats were uncomfortable, even though I feel miserable in the seats in her Corolla.

 

Lol my girl has a corolla too. Her only complaint is the o2 dump. But she loves the cams and how it idles !?

Women.. Lol

I was lucky enough to get her to go with me to MOD this year since she usually doesn't care for it.

But somewhat related to the topic, if I had to get something new, an Evo X SE crossed my mind since she could drive it (because she can't drive stick, even though I would be hesitant to put her behind the wheel of an Evo, but at least I won't have to be the default designed driver). Plus it has heated seats, which she needs since I like the A/C to be on, but she seems to get cold really easily.
