MFX Posted 30September, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 30September, 2016 All of those other builds sort of makes sense (at least to some), as they are maybe a cheaper more powerful alternative. But the Hyundai??? I would go the tried and true LS swap over that every day of the week (if I had to swap to something other than a P engine).

I assume much more cheaply and probably reliably than a 911 engine. 400hp should be enough for most people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There would be a lot of other engines I would use before a Hyundai 6... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tazzieman Posted 30September, 2016 Report Share Posted 30September, 2016 What if the Hyundai V6 was designed by German engineers but given an Asian name?They have got 750hp out of one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tazzieman Posted 30September, 2016 Report Share Posted 30September, 2016 Perhaps they should pop the 420hp off the shelf Hyundai V8 in a 911. There's nothing like a V8 in a Porsche Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coastr Posted 30September, 2016 Report Share Posted 30September, 2016 Fair enough it might be a good engine. Maybe I am too much of a brand snob to put Hyundai in a Porsche.... hey at least your honest and I agree with you...I only like 'in family' swaps.On the Hyundai engines...a friend of mine has been doing Hyundai excel racing, they get quite a few herbs oit of a mostly standard excel engine, which has to get inspected and sealed to qualify. I forget the number now but pretty respectable for a pretty plain old inline 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TINGY Posted 30September, 2016 Report Share Posted 30September, 2016 We have 2 Hyundai's, my wife has the Veloster as a daily, haven't had a speck of trouble with them and my 2ltr i30 goes like the clappers, good cars.Dare i say Hyundai may be the new Toyota, there's a lot on the road, must be doing something right.

tazzieman Posted 1October, 2016 Report Share Posted 1October, 2016 We have 2 Hyundai's,Same here ; The Accent has lasted 9 years and onto the 3rd son now (& on original clutch , lol) , not a single problem. Wife has had the SUVs for the past 6 years , though I may encourage change next year (for a change, even though she is perfectly happy). Hyundai got its act together in the mid noughties when Toyota were having problems. That Lexus beating Genesis has won some very high accolades and looks and goes very well by all accounts.As for engine swaps , well the Polo motor should horrify the brand snobs? I for one couldn't stomach an American V8 in a non American car. I must be a snob , but I don't like maccas or starbucks either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am surprised I haven't heard of a Cayenne V8 in a 911...Apart from the loads of various 911 iterations , what inbred engine swaps are going on out there? Not many putting a 4 cam into a 356! Or a 944 into a 928. Or a Panamera engine into a Boxster. No , seems mostly to be people going the cheap route eg the Polo engine in a 912. And the other horrendoplasties mentioned above.
