This dyno tuning session consisted of simple bolt ons, 110 leaded race gas, and stock turbo. The tuning was done at HBSpeed and use of the PowerAxel module. Tuning and the module is now availble through both MODE Racing and HBSpeed.

MODE Racing is proud to announce that we have teamed up with SEIBON Carbon this year for the SEMA Show in Las Vegas, NV on November 3rd to the 6th!
The Red 2.0 Turbo will be featured in the SEIBON Carbon booth at SEMA.
While the Black 3.8 V6 Genesis Coupe will be featured outside the venue! Expect many changes from now til the show. We’ll update you all on changes that occur!
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!
Richard from D-Sport Magazine was nice enough to give me an advanced copy of the new October 2009 issue. As I skimmed through the pages, I saw this:
The Genesis Coupe is featured on the ad! Of course we’ll be there in full force competing in the Modified Rear Wheel Drive class against the top drivers in the nation, but expect a few surprises before this event that will allow us to possibly be on the podium!

July 21, 2009 (Orange County, CA) July 21, 2009 – During the annual SpoCom event in Long Beach on June 14th, MODE Racing’s 2010 Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0T was showcased in the Redline Time Attack booth. The coupe attracted the attention of MotoIQ, a new automotive online magazine. Staff from MotoIQ decided to do a feature article and photoshoot of the coupe on the spot.
The MotoIQ website is a breath of fresh air among the vast selection of automotive websites. MotoIQ is not just another website that showcases cars, it features a plethora of technical articles, part reviews, and event coverage. As soon as the SpoCom event finished, the MODE Racing crew took the Genesis Coupe to get photographed for the full feature. Full coverage can be found here: http://www.motoiq.com/MagazineArticles/tabid/59/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/917/In-the-Beginning.aspx
This highlights how the Genesis Coupe has created such a buzz in such a short amount of time. This feature article brings credibility to MODE Racing as an established group in the automotive industry. MODE Racing’s Coupe is one of a select few participating in various Time Attack series. Everyone at MODE Racing is very proud of this milestone in the Genesis Coupe’s journey into racing history.
MODE Racing would like to thank the following sponsors for their ongoing and generous support: Cusco, Enkei Wheels, Genesisforums.org, HB Speed, Hyundai Motors of America, Instyle Graphics, JE Pistons, JRZ Suspension Engineering, Motul, Rhys Millen Racing, Schroth Racing, Stoptech and Toyo Tires.
MODE Racing made it onto edmunds.com’s blog today! Check out the article as it mentions our latest dyno video and results. You can read it here: http://blogs.edmunds.com/straightline/2009/06/lightly-modified-genesis-turbo-coupe-turns-250hp-on-the-dyno.html
Check out the MODE Racing Genesis Coupe as it produces respectable power with only a few simple bolt ons and a strong tune.

With only a few days of ownership of the Hyundai Genesis Coupe 2.0 T (call sign: MDR-1) the MODE Racing crew took a drive to Firebird International Raceway in Phoenix Arizona to do a quick shakedown event at the NASA Super Lap Battle Time Attack.
The MDR-1 Genesis Coupe was taken out of its trailer ready for battle equipped with only Motul Racing Fluids, Toyo R888 tires, Enkei NT03+M wheels, and an APR GTC-300 rear wing. The driver, Billy Brooks, was ready to see how the MDR-1 would stand up against the other street driven, race prepped vehicles in the paddock. After a quick stint in the autocross course at Firebird International Raceway, Billy Brooks was confident that the car will work fine on the track.
After the first practice session and with a few hot laps completed, the MDR-1 came in with a content driver. “The car will obviously need some work with suspension and handling but most of all, it needs power.” Billy Brooks commented, “I believe that MODE Racing will be able to untap the power of the Genesis 2.0 Turbo motor and it will be a whole different car, come next event. Now that I’ve felt how the car is on the track, MODE Racing will take that input that I have received and apply it to our racing products.”
Later, the temperature dropped significantly as the event went well into the night. Undeterred, Billy and the MDR-1 were sent back out for another session. Being a relatively stock car, the Genesis was able to keep up with several high horsepower, race prepped vehicles. At times, even keeping up with a Porsche 997 GT3 RS in the tight corners!
The MODE Racing team packed up after an exhausting and cold night of racing but were content about how much they’ve learned about the Genesis Coupe 2.0T.
Billy Brooks commented: “We’re looking forward to the next event and especially with generous help that we’re receiving on development of the car from supporters and sponsors. In addition, MODE Racing’s products that will be on the car and ready for other Genesis Coupe owners to own will also help us obtain the winning edge that will bring MODE Racing to the podium within the next few events.”
MODE Racing would like to thank all of the sponsors and supporters that have helped MODE Racing so far: APR Performance, Instyle Graphics, Fizix Media Labs, M2 Motoring, Motul, Seibon Carbon, Memphis Car Audio, Genesisforums.org, Toyo Tires, Robi Spec, JRZ Suspension, HB Speed, and of course the hard working crew of MODE Racing.
