idk why i watch videos like this when i already have my bk2 i guess i just love hearing people talk about my car i love so much
We love our cars thats why

same ;)
Found a bone stock '14 2.0t r-spec this last november and scooped it up so fast. So far I've only added an intake, bov, LED lights, oil catch can, and good tires but it still puts a smile on my face every morning and each evening of my commute. It's my first RWD & my first turbo'd car, so far it handles very predictably (grew up on racing sims) and am so glad I went this route rather than the gt86. I plan on doing wheels, exhaust, downpipes, dual diff mount, tune, and suspension over the next couple of years. Eventually I'd like it to go from being my daily driver to weekend track machine. My wallet hurts just thinking about it 😭
That's exactly how my story went with my 14 R Spec except I got mine in 2019. Now it's got a big turbo and I'm tracking it. In the end I'm in like 30k including the car but I did buy high end parts. I'm faster than my coworkers R8 around the track by a few seconds so it's no slouch! Good luck with your build and definitely track it!
@@tommylee4135I'm currently in the market for one and leaning more towards the bk2 2.0t. How much whp and wtq you have? How has the reliability been? I'm planning on it being a autoX maybe 4 or 5 events and 1 to 2 track days a year car.
Really just here to listen to you talk more about the car. I've owned 2 BK2 3.8's now. Loving every ride!
Sam, Thank you for sharing your words and advice on the matter of the coupe. I find it very helpful.
Bk1 owner here for 1years now,.love my genesis coupe, still breaking necks
I got my 2013 2.0T with 65k miles for 8k USD 3 years ago. It's the most basic trim but it's a really enjoyable car to drive
literally what i was looking for, ure very informative
Great info, thank you. Love my 2015 3.8 Rspec
great video! wish I had this when buying my genny
my 2011 Canadian version 3.8 BK1 base manual came with LSD and non brembo...reminded me of the 70's when you bought a car with the bigger engine without all the extras when I bought the car new. It is still a fun car to drive today if you want to get on it...
If it’s not ur daily than u can have tons of fun on the track and out drifting….if it is ur daily than u have a fun car that looks great still! I don’t think the base model is that bad for these cars most things are going to be changed out and u already have LSD😏
I guess I did good buying the 2014 2.0T. I didn’t know that the transmissions in all the previous 2.0 model years were that bad.
I still have my stock 2016 Genesis Coupe 3.8 with automatic transmission. I got it in 2017 or 2018. I am going to be at 70,000 miles this coming weekend or next week. I did lots of research on cars in 2020 and 2021, and learned more about what the Genesis Coupe is capable of. From what I gathered, the 3.8 is not worth doing Remnant Performance turbo kit without a built motor. Therefore, in the far future, I plan to get a built 2.0 engine and transmission, or have it all LS3 swapped. Those seem to be the only options. My goal is 500 to 550whp as a daily driver.
Why do you say the RP kit isn't worth?
The original engine won't last long
@@hollow4109 my bk2 3.8 has been running for over 20k miles boosted just fine with 0 issues, just about 22k miles boosted to be more precise, I’d say it’s lasted pretty long and still pulls and boosts to this day on completely stock original engine
I just scored on 2010 bk1 3.8L v6 66KMILES can't wait.
How much did it cost?
I have a 2010 Genesis Coupe Spec R 2.0t
6 speed manual, the car was highly modified by the previous original owner, I will admit the car can be very difficult to drive with the amount of horsepower it's putting out another issue is finding a mechanic willing to work on it, they keep telling me to take to someone that works on race cars, other than that it is an awesome car that I almost didn't buy, this car has become a very popular car with people of all ages in the small city I live in, not a day goes by that someone isn't pulling up next to me asking questions about the car or just wanting to take pictures of it, if I could share a pic of it on here I would, I recommend buying a Genesis Coupe they are fun cars
If you are taking off from a Stop, & if you have to turn your head to look at oncoming traffic, the turbo is very dangerous if the vehicle in front of you stops suddenly. I wrecked mine like that,,was unable to stop on time.
This was actually really helpful
just got a stock 2015 3.8 ultimate. 100K km
Can you do a video on what you would do if you were going to make a $20k+ Bk2 3.8 build
There are also BK2 with 3.8MPI (306hp) but with the newer 8Speed Auto.
Not in North America but yes they do exist in other regions
Damn that’s probably cool tbh
I'm living in Korea now, and ended up buying a 2011 380GT (BK1 w/ a BK2 front end, hood, and headlights) for a steal... you can probably guess why, based on all the replacement parts 😅 But it looks good, rides smooth, has a very well-maintained interior, low km, and is mechanically in great shape. Love that car
So I'm Canadian and I have a 2013 3.8 gt what has the lsd and brembo brakes and I haven't seen a track is there different trims for different countries?
track name got swapped to ultimate later on in bk2. r spec weighs 3.4k track\ultimate weigh 3.6k roughly
Im just curious what trim package is on the 2010 2.0 manual. It comes with upgraded audio, sunroof, powered seats, but no brembo brakes or Lsd so im confused on what I have…
how much would my stock block be able to handle for manual bk1 2.0 i bought the garret turbo from you guys have with the mxp manifold GT3076R
Stay at 20psi :)
Besides the option of the automatic transmission, what does the Track have that you dont get in the R-Spec
Heated seats I think. The 2016 models that got rid of the Track, gave all the nifty stuff to the Ultimate: heated seats, sunroof, etc
@FatalFist so, just heated seats, so slightly more weight??? Doesn't sound like a "Track" trim to me
@@usbeagle575 That's why Track trim was discontinued and Ultimate was pushed forward.
Has anyone ever put straight cut gears on a gencoupe? ⚙️
Thank you
I found a 2013 2.0t with 18k miles for cheap, i was lookin for a 3.8 but debating in instead gettin the 2.0t and doin possibly a tune 1 stage at most, or wpuld it be better to wait for a 3.8? Its so hard finding 3.8s in canada thats not having problems
2.0 has better modding potential, 3.8 is better out of the box. Honestly cant go wrong with either as long as you get what you want

Quite interesting, because I heard a couple of times, that even with the stock turbo and power figures the engine can easily pop after 90-120k miles, similarly to the Volvo/Ford 2.5L T5. Are you really sure about your statement?! 🤔
Yes we’ve literally have done 100s of genesis coupes with turbo upgrades. Bigger turbos are safer than small oem turbos. We even have a separate video explaining that as well
Are there any custom intake manifolds on the market these days? Been looking for one but all I could find are discontinued products…
Not that I know of
yes
Ur better off getting a BK1 manifold and doing a PNP. I see you have a 13, those manifold came plastic.
3point8 performance will port and polish them
Question!! I am looking at getting a bk2 3.8 ultimate. I did some deep research and finding that engines blow at some point. In the 75k-120k range. Is that really the case? Because most used gennys are around that range now and days.
Internet only shows negative cases so you will see that often. As long as the previous owner took care of the car,
It will have no issues. I would definitely do a timing chain service as soon you buy it though
I have the automatic with 67k miles it's not my daily driver but from the small amount of time that I've had it, the only issues I've had is water entering the trunk from the tail light gaskets and you have to be careful with what oil & coolant is used. Jiffy Lube put the wrong coolant & my engine almost over heated. Since then, I only take it to Firestone for service. Other than that, you have to be careful not to accelerate too hard when making turns otherwise power to the rear wheels shuts off.
Beware it’s somewhat true some people are lucky mines started knocking at 72,000 got it at 21,000 was bk2 3.8 2015 really good car sad cause the samething happened to my friend and he was at 102,678 so now im looking into non GDi 3.8 coupe or non GDi 4.6 heard they were reliable even kept up on everything still went still would love to have one but sense I’m seeing a trend with GDi engines it’s making change my mind 😞
2013 3.8, Ultimate, Automatic, 107,000 miles and still running strong. Its currently my daily driver and I haven't had any mechanical issues with it. Just make sure you stay on top of your maintenance and if your beating on the car more often, change the oil sooner and you'll be good.
does the bk2 2.0T have timing chain issues ?
Not a common issue but should service it if your miles are high
Would it be best to use 87 or 91 octane on my stock bk2 3.8
Stock ecu adjusts to the octane so higher octane would be better to use
What’s the difference between the 2013/14 2.0 automatic is there any differences/slightly Or the same Because I recently bought a 2013 2.0 Auto
Same
Only difference would be for manuals, 2014 has better syncros for stick shift
I need a swap for my bk1
BK1 HERE represent :)
Im just curious what trim package is on the 2010 2.0 manual. It comes with upgraded audio, sunroof, powered seats, but no brembo brakes or Lsd so im confused on what I have…
Is it weird my key says bk3?
I disagree. The 2.0T is only fast until 110mph then the turbo shuts off. The 3.8 I have yet tro try running it over 130 but it can go to 160mph.
I have a 2013 Genesis coupe 2.0t r spec manual and I just hit 37K miles on it. Got it a year ago but definitely got a lot in mind. If anyone has specific modifications they love on their gennys, send me links!

@@BTRcarcustoms I just spent the last hour and a half watching a few of your videos including that one.
I have a 2015 3.8 Ultimate and love it 😅
thinking ima get a manual one same year bro. Kinda nervous but hearing a lot of good things
@@erickozzy16 did you get it bro? how is it if you did
Have you seen the prices for a Gen coupe at the dealer? They're nuts!
All car prices are a bit ridiculous right now
Most id pay is $5k them prices for gen coupes are ridiculous they’re weren’t selling for that much a few yrs ago 😭💀u can be able to get one for around 3500-6k
Looking at a 2015 r spec stock with 18,000 miles. 14,600 USD…. seems like a good deal?
That’s a amazing deal
@@miseryville I ended up getting a premium instead for $16,900 with 19,000 miles. Sub my channel I’ll do a tour in the spring!
Where at? Cuz ill buy it if you didnt lmao
@@randypender2867 Still available! The premium is now in my garage, but red R Spec is still there! It’s in Canada.
@@chickenmuffin Canada? Aww man im in the US. I appreciate you tho
400hp whit stock internals is amazing just whit purchase a different turbo 150hp for maybe 4000$ wow
Bk1 3.8 track 💪🏻
I have a 3.8. Now I want a 2.0 lol
get tuned by the best alphaspeed
I have a 3.8 and I love it I want to make good power but I don’t wanna spend god money bc I also have an evo draining my account faster then the tank it has
Thank you.
How much whp can 2.0T auto transmission handle?
Have a stock 2.0T bk2 auto
We’ve seen it hold 350-400 whp without slipping. Haven’t seen anyone push it beyond that to know the limit
Thanks sir great content!
@@novachrono2236 yea i bought BTR's gt3076r turbo kit for my 2.0t AT, pushed the injectors the limits with boost making 350-370whp prob and no real big issues, it does hang when shifting under full throttle but that was only after the bigger turbo. I had everything but a bigger turbo, including a dyno tune, and never had any issue from the transmission, i think it made like 285whp on a hot humid day.
@@BTRcarcustoms I’ve actually seen a bk1 2.0t tuned to 520 whp.. it didn’t survive tho lmao
@@mylesdobson2072 haha i guess that doesn’t count then
10:00 Aww hell yeah. I hope mine comes with LSD. 😎
If I buy a Genesis coupe, can I do a coyote engine swap? And then maybe a suspension/chassis swap with say, a 67 mustang fastback? And then a body swap too, 67 mustang fastback would look good I think.
I heard the coyote mustang engine is one of the worst engines as far as mustangs.. just what I heard.
@@SYG2024 Thanks for sharing...
I’m selling my white BK2 2014 2.0t with 55k miles for 20k if anyone is interested. Only mod is a muffler delete
2.0t r spec here 😈😈
GC's manual transmissions are trash and the automatic is more reliable for a stock vehicle with no mods.
