It matters that it's GDI, but it's unlikely that the head flange is different. But, like I said it's untested. You could order exhaust gaskets for both years and compare them before buying the header, and even then it may hit the firewall or some support.

I would not swap in a V6. If you wanted a lot more power you should have waited a couple of months for the 274hp turbo Sonata. You may be able to run low boost using the mechanical parts from the turbo version, but you're going to have trouble doing much because of the GDI. Nobody knows how much you can go outside of the factory power levels. There is no suitable standalone that can run a GDI engine. You're going to have to hope someone can reflash the ECU or that it'll correct well enough in stock form.

WTF!!! i may as well just wait abit and not mess with the engine and whatnot. sad.gif

i'll just have to go with external mods

 

Yeah, I am really hesitant to buy a GDI car. You could run injectors and a turbo on a standalone, but that's a whole lot of trouble on a new car.

approximately how much would that cost to run injectors and a turbo? and about how much hp would it increase it to? (and about how much mpg would it decrease to?)

sorry about all the questions lol

 

You would need to make the IM from a 2005-2010 4 cylinder Sonata or possibly from a Kia Forte work. Then run bigger injectors. Could use the turbo manifold from the upcoming Sonata turbo. All of this would need to be run by some other computer I think, I don't know how a piggyback would work on a GDI engine. If you could keep it working properly out of boost, you might be able to have a piggyback run the set of injectors independently of the GDI system. You would need to be smarter than I am to make that work though.

As far as cost, the mechanical parts would probably run about $1k-$1.5k all together once you find a wrecked Sonata turbo and donor car with a manifold that uses injectors. Then add however much your tuning package would cost. And add money for labor if you're not able to do it yourself.
