Does this mean that it's possible the base model may be stuffed with a 4B1 variant and thus share it's powertrain with the Evolution X, much like the 4G64/G4CS engines of old? If so, this model would have ridiculous potential.]]>Dec 17th 2007 9:34AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/more-turbocharged-motors-coming-from-hyundai/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/more-turbocharged-motors-coming-from-hyundai/
That being said, there would be concern that the closeness of these specs to that of the V6 model would cannibalize sales. Coming from a person with an education and background in business, it always struck me as odd that a car company would say that a lesser model of the same car would steal sales from it's slightly bigger brother. Most buyers will settle on a platform first, then select the trim. That's why you see men driving V6 Mustangs. They want the Mustang image, then they select the trim that suits them.]]>Dec 17th 2007 10:42AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/more-turbocharged-motors-coming-from-hyundai/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/more-turbocharged-motors-coming-from-hyundai/Dec 17th 2007 12:41PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/more-turbocharged-motors-coming-from-hyundai/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/more-turbocharged-motors-coming-from-hyundai/
Head, ECU, Crankshaft and other various swaps based on shared architecture have already become fairly common in the first generation of shared engine platforms. This is what I was driving at. Should the Hyundai variant be in fact a 2.0L, with a slightly shorter deck-height, then a stroker using the 2.4L crank from the SRT4 and pistons with slightly raised wrist pins would be possible. The possibility of an Evolution X headswap could also be implicated should this engine be based on the same that the 4B11T is based. This would solve the direct injection "problem" and also add MIVEC (of course this would mandate other parts such as controllers and probably an ECU swap or AEM EMS).

I'm just as speculative and excited at the prospect as the rest of the automotive community.]]>Dec 17th 2007 1:12PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/more-turbocharged-motors-coming-from-hyundai/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/more-turbocharged-motors-coming-from-hyundai/
Being said, i love that this type of vehicle is making a comeback]]>Dec 17th 2007 9:37AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/more-turbocharged-motors-coming-from-hyundai/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/more-turbocharged-motors-coming-from-hyundai/Dec 17th 2007 9:40AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/more-turbocharged-motors-coming-from-hyundai/http://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/17/more-turbocharged-motors-coming-from-hyundai/
