Upgraded injectors were a 1000 bucks, on top of the 400 upgrade to your stock fuel pump.
Its all a wash!!! bah

i wanted to get one of these as a daily til i heard how often the motors went. PTP says there's some weird oil hydrolock issue.

This car will be a hit. Not only does it look great but it outperforms in almost every category.

Heh, now if Hyundai would only give the tuners a few hints on cracking the Genesis ECU.

Oh, really? I haven't been keeping up with the car as I'm not interested in owning one. I had no idea they were having trouble with the ECU. I let all my tuner magazine subscriptions lapse, so I don't know what the new "it" car is, but I kind of get the impression the Gen coupe isn't making the big splash I thought it would. So either the ECU is the hold up or the demand just isn't there. Because I thought Nissan bragged a bunch about their ECU being tough, but with so many people trying so hard to crack it, it was bound to happen one day.
