The Hyundai Genesis Coupe is already winning praise from the motoring press, and enthusiasts are itching to get their hands on the RWD Korean two-seater. While some are seeking out the uplevel 300-horsepower, 3.8-liter V6 model, many tuners are itching to get their hands on the entry 2.0T powerplant. At 211-hp, the base model isn't going to win many street races, but countless mods promise to produce tremendous amounts of power with less weight.

Tuner Beyond Redline took apart the 2.0T to see exactly what Hyundai gave tuners to work with. For starters, the block is evidently sourced from the Mitsubishi Ralliart, which is different from the more structurally sound EVO X block. Beyond Redline expects the engine's sturdy components and 86mm stroke and bore to make 400 wheel-horsepower and rev to 8,000 RPM with the proper mods and a stock block. While the 2.0T gives modders plenty of room for overclocking, the engine's open deck block means that too much boost could warp the cylinders. Block guards can be used to reinforce the cylinder walls, but that means additional work and cash to really kick the 2.0T into high gear. Hat tip to Andrew.

Oh come on. Are we still doing this? Hyundai needs to put up billboards all across America saying "WE built this block, Mitsubishi just modified it"

I wonder if BR was asked about this or if this is another example of the community getting ripped off and misquoted...

Absolutly ripped off! We were never contacted and we never once made any reference to the ralliart engine. As a matter of fact we stated it has very little in common with the 4b11t.

Who wrote this anyway?

Apparently... No clue who that is though.

Site admin for GenesisDriven here - no I did NOT intend to rip off the forums. I originally found the info in the forums, and correctly cited that the source of the information as well as the pictures were from these very forums, and provided by Beyond Redline. There are a lot of other blogs out there that are misquoting me - saying that I sourced the information. NOT TRUE. The info in that article is directly from YOU, gencoupe.

The information about the 4B11 was wrong, I admit that. However, the article was corrected, you're reading the old version. You are correct in saying that the 4B11 is based on the World Engine that Hyundai developed, not the other way around.

Evidently it's not changed on autoblog yet. I

Tim@BeyondRedline - tried to PM you but I can't send PM's until at least 10 posts.

First I'd like to offer my apologies.

We pulled the pictures and quotes from your post at GenCoupe - though in the news post we did clearly say our source was Beyond Redline, with a link to your website, and a link to the particular page where you posted the information. We then tried to look on your website for more information, but there was none so the forum post was the only source.

No where in the article did we say that the engine was the same as the 4B11T - we also said that the engine had many differences.

However, we did recognize a few errors about the source of the engine block, which we have already corrected.

We also weren't aware that you would like to be contacted before we post news. We will try to do that from now on.

Please don't get any misconceptions about the website GenesisDriven - we're not out to rip anyone off, we're only out here to post relevant Genesis Coupe information. We hope this doesn't get in the way of potential future relations with Beyond Redline.

The Ralliart and Evo X 4B11T are both semi-closed blocks, not sure where someone came up with that.

**Tim@BeyondRedline** · 03-09-2009, 05:45 PM

No worries my friend....we just don't like being improperly sited. The reason we posted the information in the first place was to better inform the community of our plans for development.

I was just taken back a bit by the quotations as they didn't seem to coincide with what we had posted.

I don't mind the open deck at all. I think this has lots of potential.

Good, I'm glad to see that we've been able to work this out. I will make every attempt to clarify in new news postings and make sure the information is accurate to the source - though if anything comes up in the future please contact me asap with the "Contact Us" link on the website!

^^ Man, you got way too many quotes in your signature buddy. There's a 1 quote in 1 Sig rule here, it's either one or the other pal. Maybe you should start a poll in the OT section to help you decide which one to keep.
