Hi Alex what do you think of the 2012 Acura TSX i4
Hey Alex, which tenth gen civic would you recommend that isn’t an si or a type r? Like what body style and trim is best for tuning?
Do civic 1.5t
hey! what about the 3.8 Hyundai genesis coupe? is that better?
minitrucks?
Had a mint condition 2014 2.0T ultimate with 21k miles sold it for a profit and got a mk5 supra, but i miss it everytime i see one on the street
Rspec has nothing on the trunk.
@@jeffreycattelino3996 this is true lol, I have one
@@jeffreycattelino3996 ah ok, i always saw mixed things about the trims models on the reddit group, but had the spoiler on it, doesn't really make sense to me why the r spec didnt come with the spoiler
@@spik3y522 You’re thinking of the Ultimate It comes with a sunroof , brembos , and the spoiler.
@BabyShxtta yes, that lmao, my b, these trims are confusing me, but mine didnt have brembos, had the navigation system though and the better speakers
Man, I gotta get my 3.8 street ready again. Things been sat for like 8 months.
Do it…
Same here!
Thinking about getting one.
Bro I jus had the same thought the other day so I get this bihh washed and then a mother fuckin pothole the size of moon crater while one to work so now it's sitting again oh well tho shits the reason ya can't have nice shit in Stockton 😅
You have a car like this and just let it sit? Why
It is important to point out that the 2013 + 2.0T engines are better than previous years. Also, if you don't plan on modding it, the 3.8 could be a better choice but if you want mods and more HP go with the 2.0t
Its still a theta II engine which are dogshit. I work for Hyundai and the 3.8 and 2.0T are both equally shit. The best Genesis coupe ive seen was a 2jz-gte swap and a K swapped one. Both the 3.8 and 2.0 virtually have same issues. There transmissions do tend be solid though surprisingly. I will never understand why people like our cars when they are built like crap. Hyundai contracts the cheapest manufacturers. Hyundais prime was easily the 90s when they paired up witb Mitsubishi with their drivetrain makings.
@@midnight2moonlight200 for someone who "works for Hyundai" you sure seem to sleep on their products. Company is at its peak now. The 90s era was only notable for the mitsu parts like you already said and that wasn't special. Now they're building it "themselves" also not certain how "dogshit" they could be when they keep ranking high in reliability from both shill or bought sources and unbiased alike. Sounds more like you've just been super unlucky as to end up stuck working on what dogshit there is legitimately. Which... Would definitely give justification for your views. To say the least.
@@midnight2moonlight200idk what you’re smoking but my theta II is abused daily and is at 91,000kms with zero issues maybe stop sleeping under a rock.
@@MJT-DAhe is workong at hyundai as a janitor let him talk shit causehe clearly never driven a genesis
@midnight2moonlight200 the lambda ll 3.8 V6 has very little issues. If you neglect oil changes then u can end up with a bad timing chain. I've had my 3.8 for years and only had a issue with the starter (pain in the ass to replace) and that's it. Mine is a 2015 8 speed auto with well over 150k miles. 0 issues and 0 odd noises.
My guys gotta cardboard box for a phone
Bro 🤣
😂
Have had my BK1 since 2012 brand new. I do have some mods and a tune. 92k miles later not a single problem. 😊 Love my Genny
The problem starts with finding one that has no mods and is kept with basic maintenance
I have one 2013 28k miles clean title. Interested?
@@joeysand2205 3.8 v6?
As a previous owner, pretty accurate and informative for a short vid. Good job
Gen coupe owner here, have a 2010 3.8 with 129k miles on it, taken great care of it and have had no major mechanical issues! If you’re on the fence about getting one, do it!!
I would buy one for a daily driver, I could honestly care less about modding it. How is the speed in those things? Are they pretty fast, as in can you dip in and out of lanes from behind slow people if you need to?
@@andrearin8383 I also have a 2010 3.8 with about 115k miles, and yeah they're fast enough to have fun. 300hp but they do weigh quite a bit compared to similar sports coupes so keep that in mind. A similar car that would have better handling would be a gt86 or gr86 , but I really like mine and the power makes it fun.
Make sure to do some research on the different model years because there are pros and cons to picking different ones. I personally like my 2010 because I don't have to worry as much about carbon buildup on the valves because I have an MPI engine rather than the GDI that the newers ones have, but that also does mean a bit less power.
@@KontrolYT thanks for that info, at the same time I'm also looking into a mustang EcoBoost, I'm not a car enthusiast in the slightest but I do like muscle/sport cars and particularly ones that have pretty good power to them, I'm honestly trying to decide between the two.
@@andrearin8383 np man, the r/genesiscoupe subreddit is a good spot for more info too. The first pinned post should be the master resource list, lot of useful stuff there.
I have the 2013 2.0 with 150k miles and I've been daily driving it for 10 years. Best purchase I've made in my lifetime. I maintain it myself. Oil change about every 3 months max. Rear ended twice but that ass is still lookin nice.. haha. No major issues so far and I never plan on selling it. Don't get a Ford for the love of god .
@@andrearin8383
Gotta say anything with a very good maintenance lasts for a while. My 2.0t is almost at 186k miles and still goes up to 120mph. Don’t want to push it further than that 😝.
I'm in the works of installing a turbo to my 3.8 2015 just finished doing the timing chain assembly
Please post it
133k on the clock and Still running Strong a BK1 3.8 thank god 🙏
yesssirrr bk1 over here too gang just clocked 100k this week
Bought my 2013 2.ot FLOOD SALVAGE in 2015. It had 26k miles. I am at 148,000 now with 0 issues. I just maintain it with full synthetic oil changes and some seafoam every now and then to keep the injectors clean.
The 2.0t just screams "swap me!" IMHO. I've seen a gutted Genny coupe, its ample space. If you can find a solid body for cheap, hell, go sleeper 2JZ, maybe conventional K swap, or off the deep end with something like a drop in LSX.
2jzs fit really well in the genny, Plenty of room! Most people LS swap them though
TBF it's the same engine as in the Hyundai N cars. It simply just wasn't there yet
Just celebrated 10 years and 200k with my BK2. Bought with only 19k on the clock. Coilovers and a downpipe, fantastic.
Dude i can’t imagine how much you drive, been driving mine for 10yrs and still just at 155k+ i thought i drove a lot crossing different states until i saw your comment lol
I peffered my 3.8 over the 2.0t
Really? Im thinking about importing one (i live in Europe) but im really leaning towards the 2nd gen 2.0t. I feel like i can have more fun modifying it for cheaper than the 3.8.
@@scammer9348 plus the turbo sounds noice on the 2.0T with an intake and blow off valve 👌
@@barrios5430 yeah and i feel like if i wanted a v6 i could just go for a z
If you know what your doing both engines are fine, would recommend rod bearings, oil change and a ethanol tune.
@@scammer9348 dude a used clapped out 350 (that works) costs atleast 15K and then it's the roadster with 280hp and 100K miles 💀
Now that the 2.0t is reviewed, what about the 3.8 V6 version?
Got my 2012 2.0t premium after 6 years of wanting it. got it auto for college commute but going manual after. (2 owners 100k miles. Clean inside and out stock motor and exhaust.
I’m 48 and have never been any kind of a vehicle buff and had zero mechanical abilities. I saw a 2013 2.0T standard Genesis Coupe with a blown engine for sale at my local scrap yard and they happened to have a donner car with all of the necessary parts. I found a complete engine replacement video and said to myself, “I can follow a video tutorial” so I borrowed some tools from some friends (they thought I had gone insane) 105 hours later, I had the engine changed, everything fixed, licensed and drove it away. 🎉 I kept it for one winter (the absolute worst winter car I’ve ever driven) and part way into to the summer (best summer car I’ve ever owned - flashy and great fun, radio was excellent quality for my tastes ❤). I traded it for a truck I didn’t end up using much so I’ve put a ‘new to me’ Genesis back on my goal list. Next one I pick up will be a standard 3.8 and I found videos showing how to add the wide body kits and turbo charge it 🚀 I’m not going to let the next one go once I get my hands on it. I miss the thing every time I see one.
I currently have 205k on my genesis coupe 2.0t bk1. I recently started burning oil but then again it has 200k+ miles and I redline it to 7k rpm nearly everyday
I hope u have money already saved for a new motor
I have money for a complete rebuild. New motors cost too much. My oil rings are failing that’s all
@@inse728 They are refurbished motors not new, they dont make Theta 2s any more because they are shit engines.
Holy cow that's alot lol I had a 2011 2.0 with barely 68k miles going strong to. I mean it was pretty stock other than bolt ons and had the car for 10yrs. Hardly used it but never let me down, I just sold it this yr. Guy was surprised about the miles and thought I lied when he came to see it.
@@JzLyfe got my fully stock 1 owner 2010 bk1 last year with 64k miles, runs absolutely perfect & burns no oil qt all, even my catch cans catch no oil lol. already got full bolt ons, lowered, & a full lip kit so far👍🏻🔥
Bought mine at 192k km and 4 years later its just under 250k km.still have never had an issue with it (besides a brake ligh switch lol).
The most dangerous thing about the Genesis coupe is the traction control....way to strong
I turn mine off every time I start the engine.
@@chadwortman8616 same
I guess im not the only one turning it off right after i started the car lol
Mine is finally almost ready after sitting for 2 years for a rebuild because the parts were so hard to get 😢
Facts.
Those that take care of them have gone over 350xxxkm and still running strong. 5w40 synthetic oil makes a big difference
Synthetic oil every day
@@jooot_6850 every other day lmao
You're going to need a lot more that just synthetic oil to have your car last 350k km.
@@dsp4392 yeah. Preventative maintenance and not beating on it/ sending it.

The bk2 Lambda ll 3.8 V6 has been a solid reliable engine for my 2015 genesis sedan.
That first one looks more like the Arizona T. And I like it
The 3.8 t is where it's at
3.8 are capped at its power and 2.0t can take mods really well.
@@MWAclanGamingother than a decent tune to get maybe 35hp you're right.

@@icytrapis it a good car? I found one for 12k here in my city and it has alot of mods its sick asf clean interior only 100k miles but if i buy it itll be a daily car is it worth buying or is it gonna be expensive to maintain?

My mom bought a 3.8 ultimate in 2014 that shes kept in pristine condition, she calls it her boyfriend lol if I got a nickle every time I heard her talk about them coming from factory with brembos, or about how Hyundai was selling them at a $10,000 loss so that they could establish the genesis name I would have enough money to buy one right now
Ur moms rlly cool wtf
Had a clean mint condition 2016 3.8, and of course got rear ended by a driver not paying attention.. car was valued totaled sadly.

Try to get a 3.8 v6 they are way more reliable
my friend has a 2013 2.0t, he’s on his third motor, none of which were covered by hyundai. it’s to the point where he’s scared to drive the thing for fear of blowing it up again.

We need more videos like this
Similar dynamic to my MS6. The maintenance has been and is done (VVT done at 110k, regular spark plug changes w/one step colder, religeous oil/filter changes w/ catch can emptying every 5k and carbon cleaning the valves and intake manifold despite having an EGR delete) but I still fear of the engine blowing up. It's at 135k miles, and I'm cautious because I can't afford a zoom zoom boom situation yet.
Hyundai service writer here. ITS DOES NOT MATTER HOW WELL TAKEN CARE OF THE VEHICLE IS. Time and time again I see this need engines under 60k miles. Wether the 2.0 or 3.8. Ringlands seize, carbon builds up and connecting rod bearings go. Only reliable Gen coup is one without a Hyundai motor.
Working at a Hyundai retailer. Got a customer whith one, absolute stock well maintained. New brakes we're Like 1.5k. But ITS worth almost the price He bought it Brand new.
My grandmas about to give me her 2013 2.0t with 81k miles and it’s been a good car. Never been modded or anything. Planning on getting some nice rims and putting a simple tune on it
Thats my car lol!!!!
Never push it above 20psi my guy! That way you can keep it good for long time.
I’ve had my daily 2.0t bk1 for almost 2 years now, main thing for reliability is the oil viscosity. DO NOT USE 5w-20 because the cap says so. These turbo cars require 5w-40 and oil changes every 2500-3000 miles! And like many others I wish I went the 3.8 route, as it’s more reliable but much less aftermarket support if that’s what’re going for. But these cars are insanely underrated!
3.8 have worse timing chain issues & many more, 2.0 is the way to go.
please do a video on 3.8
It’s really the only car I’ve seen hyudai make that follows traditional good body lines. Like the sonata looks like a slug and the veloster looks like a toad but that’s a real normal coupe that has nice lines.
Man the yellow one is from Iran
Like damn bruh nice❤
Looks like a mixture of cars all put together in one
As a Genesis Coupe owner I recommend a 3.8 since you can get a turbo kit for about 5k. You'll get about 450hp if it's a bk2 or 400hp bk1.
Sites that are also good is GCTUNER, Genracer & 3.8 Peformance
Boyyyy you better let them know they should also get forged internals before boostin a 3.8 😂
Remnant and alphaspeed have been tightening things up a LOT but still, I’d make sure I have a 2nd car if I’m adding boost to a stock 3.8 lol
But yea 3.8 > 2.0 every day of the week 🦍🦍

@@carsofaustria4694 every forum and reddit post ive read for 2.0t its 5w40 idk about 3.8
I would swap something into the front, looks spacious for a LS or maybe Kei series
Has a Hyundai tech at that time, there really wasn't anything that needed to be done. People were putting in stupid boost and blowing them up. It's an open deck with all alum everything. They are not really made for high HP. 350ish and then they needed to be sleeved and built. If anything the suspension geometry and weight are the issues.
The suspension geometry made for great drifting.
140k miles on my 2013 2.0T. Use 5w-40 year round since new.
Hey man, love the vids! I’m just curious on your opinion of the Mk7 Jetta GLIs, I just purchased one and it’s got some really strong pros and some rather unpleasant cons.
Correction about engine blowing, it’s not true! The only reason why some gencoupes blew up their engine is because they’re pushing psi all the way up to 22 and more just to get higher numbers on the dyno, which is not safe anymore for stock internals. Been driving mine for 10yrs with only 20 psi max and never had issues with engine 🤷🏻♂️
Mine has good mods and well maintained. Never abused because I respect and value what I have built 🥰
3.8 gens are fun to swing, and easy to mod.
Hey that last shot , the yellow Genesis was in iran, I can't believe it, it was interesting for me, i haven't seen such a , content in American CZcams channels.

damn my 2010 has a whining sound now 🥲 idk if its the idler pulley, power steering pump, ac compressor or alternator so imma call the shop to get it checked out, hoping its nothing too serious
Serious question: Why do people buy these compared to the competition? I haven't noticed them being especially good/better than anything that it competes with. Other than the look of the car, help me out.
Yo thanks man! I’m considering of getting a veloster 2016 or a 2016 genesis coupe!

For those who would call a 2.0 unreliable, watch my videos of me abusing my 2nd bk2 2.0 over the past 50k miles. 4 different turbo setups, multiple tunes, absolute ragging on it. Never had more than a oil leak or simple repairs.
What do you think about the 2006 Monte carlo ss with the 5.3 v8 ls4? I just got one a couple months ago and I've really enjoyed it, it's pretty damn fast for a front wheel drive car, I've beat a good amount of cars, including 2018 mustang 5.0s, newer camaros, and some new lexus sport cars (not sure what model cause I was in front of them the whole time lol) just curious on your opinion on them and if you know of any common issues
Get rid of the stupid DoD (displacement on demand) and you'll be much happier

For some reason the bk2 2.0t will break more often , my bk1 rspec 2.0t is running like new still at 140000
I always hear people bitching about the bk1 sucking, but I have been fine with 100k and been pushing 20psi for about 50k of those miles. The people that tell me the engine suck also don’t seem to have the car or just dialed up the stock turbo with no other supporting mods.
Huh, that's weird
I've heard the bk2s have forged internals
I got a 2012 2.0T that has the 5sp auto as my first car since 2017. I got it when I was 16, and she's still running great. She has 166K miles with the stock turbo, engine, and transmission. I've taken it up to 100MPH many times this year, done drifts, hard driving, and more. She loves it.

Get the 3.8. Every single person I’ve known personally who has bought the 2.0T has regretted it and wanted the 3.8.
I learned to drive with a 3.8 BK1 among many other cars and it’s perfect for the car.
bk2 2.0 w/bolt ons and tune > every other genny. I have owned both 3.8 and 2.0
You’re funny, you must not know many 2.0 owners cus I can guarantee all of us would disagree with you
I completely disagree sorry brother. I got the 2.0T and i bought it for the sole purpose to make it faster than the 3.8
Why do people sleep on the 6th gen accord? I have one stock with a 5 speed and it’s such a dope car
Get the 3.8. It has much more power. I don’t understand why the 2.0 T or so popular when there is a more powerful engine option.

Oh shit its my car! I’ve got an R-spec. They really need help firming up the drivetrain, tranny mount and diff bushings at least… also mine had a bad 6-speed and apparently that is somewhat common… short shifter and new shifter bushings can help there. Just did all that plus single mass lightweight flywheel and it does drive amazing now… but I probably wouldn’t have got it if I knew the tranny was gonna go out on me. Oh yeah and they have one of the best sounding 4-cylinders I’ve ever heard once you put a catback on it. (Or full exhaust but I live in commiefornia and don’t want to swap shit every two years)
Also if you like getting sideways, the R-spec and Track versions are the ones that came with a LSD from the factory…. and brembo’s But you sacrifice cruise control which is slightly annoying and hardly seems like a huge weight savings.
Yoooo I got the sedan version R-spec, love it
On the upside you’ll be different from all the VQ boys and mustangs, you’ll develop a taste for k-pop (real girls are better than anime girls) and as long as you have the bk2 (second gen) you will be a bit faster than G35’s, I’ve left many an edgar cut having trombonist in my wake 😂

Also look at that years genesis sedans, I got a 2012 5.0 Rspec, a KDM V8 pushing 420 something horsepower, God forbid she ways 4,000 plus pounds but I have beat mustangs and Camos and even a corrvette( I got sent to gapplebess by that vette) but look into them but it’s not a HUGE platform as much as the coupes
Due to the corporate average fuel economy stuff Hyundai needed to get all the mpg out of the car so they went with 5w20 on the oil cap 5w20 5w30 and 5w40 in the owners manual *1 has a very important statement for the 2010 model year. Engines started to fail from it not protecting the engine bearings said bye bye then rod knock. Then 2011 they said 5w30 and 5w40 in the owners manual but continued to put the 5w20 oil cap on the cars. Still to this day the owners put 5w20 or 5w30 in the car and never look in their owners manual to see that 5w40 is recommended for better vehicle performance that is what *1 has said since 2010. Engines from both the 3.8 and 2.0t fail and get posted on Facebook everyday.
