Just bought a 2014 2.0t and am looking to upgrade the turbo to a Garrett GT3071R. it says that is bolt on compatible with the 2010-2012 3" stock manifold. Now does the 2014 and the 2012 have the same exhaust manifold size and will it bolt on easily to my manifold?
2013-2014 has a twin scroll turbo so the manifold is going to be different from the first gen. What you are going to need is a twin scroll GT3071r with all the supporting mods like turbo back exhaust, haltech to tune, fmic, etc... I believe the second gen is still a T3 flange so it should bolt right up.
2013+ has the exhaust housing molded into the manifold. so an aftermarket turbo is not possible without cutting and welding. You can either mod the stock turbo or buy a new manifold with the proper flange for the turbo you want.
you can pick up a pre 13 manifold from a junk yard for next to nothing then you'll have access to a bunch of mitsu flanged turbos as well as atp's replacement turbos.
So... @jonesjake8114 what exactly do you plan on doing with this turbo? just putting it on and going right? that's the best way to do it.
Have you thought about the injectors you need? or bigger fuel pump? Have you actually read any threads on this forum about upgrading the turbo on a 13 + Gen and what it entails?
you didn't answer all of my questions lol. you came to a forum for advise, if we ask you questions about your inquiry, we require answers to those questions in order to help you with your original questions.
what are you going to do with your car after you put on the aftermarket turbo?
Answer 1) tune it (see question 2)
Answer 2) Nothing. (have fun)
2) who/what are you going to tune the car with?
Answer 1) Haltech/SFR/BTR/BR
Answer 2) Don't know. (have fun)
no offence but it kinda sounds like you need to do alot more research on what a turbo actually does and what is needed to upgrade it successfully. if you have the time i would suggest doing as much research as possible. if you can't do that i would highly recommend paying a professional to get you a turn key solution made.
Alright guys so when I say I just bought it I mean I really just bought it about 2 weeks ago so as for a tune I'm still looking if im correct btr only has a tune for the manual trans. Only. As for the others I will look into them and the injectors I have looked at the deuchtwerk 550-750 injectors all of these things will be bought in time and are not seen as a overnight project
if you're looking for a manifold, if you say that the turbo was said to be a direct swap for the 2010-2012 GC, then the 2010-2012 OEM manifold will fit.
I wouldn't recommend it though, it's a poor design.
Then would be the issue of the O2 housing, not sure if the downpipe on down are the same as the 2010-2012
You do realize that with a twin scroll setup you are looking at a custom tune, right? If you do the work there, you'll have to trailer the car to the tuner or wait for a custom tuning event to come close to you. In the meantime you'll be without a car.
With a big turbo upgrade you are looking at doing much more than just a turbo, exhaust manifold, and injectors... depending on what your power goals are, you are also looking at:
1) Full turboback exhaust.
2) Intake
3) Intercooler and piping
4) Aftermarket BOV or BPV
5) Possibly a new clutch or clutch and flywheel kit depending on what clutch you decide to go with.
6) Possibly a new fuel pump
7) Boost gauge (don't rely on the POS OEM gauge that only goes up to 15 psi)
8) Wideband 02 Gauge
There's way more to upgrading your turbo than simply slapping a new turbo on and getting a tune. While you can do this, you'll soon be asking if there's an aftermarket tuning solution because no tuner who can tune a Hyundai ECU will touch you with a 10 foot pole without supporting bolt-on modifications to support a big twin scroll turbo. Soon after that you'll be posting to complain how Hyundai made a POS engine because it blew up while you were trying to tune it and that Hyundai is a POS car company because they won't over you under warranty.
Now... if you want to do this right, the first step is to educate yourself on your options. You can start here: http://www.gencoupe.com/new-member-section/216521-ultimate-genesis-coupe-newbie-guide-modding-must-read.html. I highly recommend that you read and understand everything in that thread before moving on to your next step of talking with the various tuners available to you to discuss purchasing all of the pieces parts you will need for your build. Understand that your choices will greatly impact how much you will be spending on your build. If after you've done all of the above and you still have questions regarding your build.... that would be the time to consult with those who have done big turbo builds to get an idea of what else you need to do.
I know that it is a big project and like I said this is all in due time and I like I also said I would like to have a twin scroll but am completely open to not having that and I am aware of all the supporting mods that are needed but again all are in due time
Before you even get to the point of figuring out what kind of turbo you want, you should be planning your build and buying up all the supporting mods that you can without having to get a tune. In other words, you are doing this backwards if you think that figuring out what turbo and injectors you want is going to get you to where you want to be.
Step 1: Read
Step 2: Read some more
Step 3: Determine your power goals
Step 4: Determine who you want to tune your car
Step 5: Talk to the tuner to see what they require for your power goals
Step 6: Start working on getting all of your bolt ons for the power goal you want to hit
Step 7: After you've installed all the bolt-ons you need... purchase turbo, manifold, and injectors
Step 8: Figure out how you are going to get your car tuned.
Step 9: Install turbo, injectors, and manifold.
Step 10: Trailer your car to the tuner or tuning event (you can't drive the car once you change out the injectors)
Step 11: Write your build thread and enthrall us all on your success.
Keep in mind... with a big turbo upgrade you are looking at dropping between $3500 and $6000 on your build. If you screw it up and have to redo something along the way, it's going to cost you a whole lot more. Also, don't look to save money by buying parts made in China and sold on eBay. In most cases you are buying parts that will not last, will not perform as well as they advertise, and you will have no recourse but to sell the part later to get a real part that works... if you can even find a buyer who is willing to allow you to recoup your losses. In other words, pay the money and get quality parts from the get go.
Of course haha for the short amount of time I have looked, never even once has ebay popped into mind for parts when I do start buying I will only by looking at top level parts so I will lessen the chance of part failures
