The 3.8 V6 Coupe gets its Stoptech Big Brakes!

Categories: Genesis Coupe 3.6 V6, Products and Vehicle Build

Last week, we showed you pictures of the MODE Racing 3.8 V6 being dropped off at Stoptech so that the 3.8 V6 Genesis Coupe crowd can have a shot at having some big brakes. Especially when SEMA is around the corner, we had to make sure that the 3.8 V6 has the appropriate look!

In this picture, it’s really hard to see them due to the black on black on black (aka the Vader look) but they’re there! Let’s take a closer look, shall we?

 

The front brakes consists of their 6 piston caliper and a larger diameter slotted front rotor. This will give a strong initial bite when encountering hard braking.

The rear also received an appropriate upgrade with a smaller, lighter, but just as potent 4 piston caliper and larger diameter rotor!
 
We noticed an immediate difference between the stock vs. the Stoptech Big Brake Kit. We will be testing these more and more during the fall and winter at various track events.

Stoptech Brakes can be purchased through MODE Racing by contacting sales@moderacing.com and contact us for special offers for any products that we use on our demonstration vehicles!

Recent Dyno Session at HBSpeed with the 2.0T

By moderacing 1 Comment
Categories: Genesis Coupe 2.0T, Products and Vehicle Build

The 2.0T has been in town in Southern California from its peaceful life in Utah for quite some time now. The So Cal crew has been busy making sure that everyone knows it’s around. It made its way through the SEIBON Carbon meet and it has been at HBSpeed in Fountain Valley, CA for the past couple of weeks being worked on by their Head Tuner, Jon.

The 2.0T has been going through many preparations for the up coming Redline Time Attack in Spring Mountain in about 2 and a half weeks. This dyno session was to play more with the Poweraxel module to see how much more power we can get out of this stock turbo until we can go bigger, better, and badder (hint hint).

A few new additions to the Genesis since it was last tuned:

A prototype MODE Racing Front Mount Intercooler with MODE Racing Hard Pipes:

Piping Wrapping to keep the temps down plus a MODE Racing Air Box with Intake:

But for the most part, it’s pretty “stock” with no major work done:

The 2.0T will be heading out to see how well these parts will last in the harsh conditions of racing and making sure that each product is thoroughly tested before released!

Aesthetically, little has changed as we will be getting a few new changes on it before the SEMA show in a couple of months. Of course, the new MODE Racing logo adorns the flanks and rear of the Genesis Coupe.

The Genesis Coupe made its way on the rollers for a few pulls late in the night.

In the end the Genesis Coupe was able to churn out a respectable power chart:

The end result? 251 whp and 295 ft/lbs of torque!

Mind you, this is without major engine work and was specifically tuned for track use / time attack. The Poweraxel Modules are still available from MODE Racing by contacting sales@moderacing.com! All other products that are featured on the MODE Racing Genesis Coupe will be out shortly.
Video of the dyno pulls will be up shortly!

(Orange County, CA) The Nissan GT-R has received numerous accolades in performance, engineering, and design from multiple worldwide publications and media. With that in mind, MODE Racing has teamed up with one of very few teams campaigning the “Godzilla” of performance vehicles. GOTO : Racing recently took order of a brand new 2010 Nissan GT-R and has asked MODE Racing to provide their high performance racing products and trackside support for their road racing GT-R.

GOTO : Racing has a strong pedigree of race vehicles and their new GT-R is no exception. When MODE Racing was asked to join in their GT-R build, they did not hesitate. “We are extremely excited to work with GOTO : Racing and their brand new 2010 Nissan GT-R. We look forward to seeing MODE Racing products on the GT-R as it dominates the field of competitors on the track. We are extremely confident that this GT-R will break records and really showcase the potential of MODE Racing performance products.” Commented Billy Brooks, driver and owner of MODE Racing.

MODE Racing has been signed on to provide an intake system, oil coolers, differential coolers, and sway bars with adjustable end links to help the GOTO:Racing GT-R propel itself through the finish line. The GT-R is slated to compete in several series including Redline Time Attack, Super Lap Battle, NASA Racing series in Norther California, and the NASA 25 hours of Thunderhill.

With so much buzz going on with the GT-R, this should showcase the true potential of the beast. MODE Racing looks forward to the build and will be extensively covered with pictures and video on the MODE Racing blog at http://moderacing.wordpress.com.
