🔧 BUILD New whip who dis? Genesis G80 sport

[Jimy Bilmo]

Update: it doesn’t like brake torquing even with every nanny off. Not sure the jb4 can help that?

Just noticed this fuel capacity.... That's fantastic

I think it ends up being a bit better than the Tahoe which is awesome. Going to be like 1.5 months for fill ups

did you press and hold the button to turn it fully off?

yeah i mean road trips almost 600 miles to a tank?

that'd be awesome.

my 2011 5 series had a 18.5 gallon tank and could get 33-35 mpg highway... so that'd be like just about 600 to a tank on a road trip

If it squeaks out 24mpg as advertised realistically almost 500 miles. I see reports of better than advertised so we’ll see.


But guessing the kids would be the limiting factor. Either way not stopping for fuel much sounds great.

Yea traction control off is pushing the button then holding is stability.


You can feel it build boost then stop trying to push thru the brakes. I wonder if clicking it into 1 with the flappy paddles would do anything vs leaving in D.

Also I wish I had a boost gauge. I guess regular people can’t be bothered knowing.

I have the same problem with my friends G37S. The drive-by-wire won’t you apply throttle and brake. It sees the brakes being applied and overrides throttle input.

You also need to get out of the car and spin around 3 times. A lotta people miss that step.

Interesting. I wonder if a jb4 would get rid of that or if it could even be tuned out at all.

I’ll have to fuck around with it more. There has to be a way otherwise why call it a sport if it won’t 60’ well

300 more lbs than sho. Jesus

300 more hp and torque?

In my G37xS I can get to about 2,000 rpm before it cuts out. I just side-step the brake and let it launch. AWD holds from 0-20 regardless, so I get a decent launch. Enough to match the times of the car magazines during their testing.

Mine is also bone stock.

I’d be interested in knowing. Not a big deal for me, but always like to know my options.

I believe the throttle brake torque thing is due to a few incidents where people (by stuck gas pedals and carpets) were causing accidents. I don’t see how it couldn’t be removed but it would probably be dependent on the tuner/company etc.

I just say that car has quickly moved to the top of my list, I just don’t want a car payment but damn…

The older v8 non sports caught my eye too. They can be had pretty cheap and people say they pull hard. It’s 400ish hp

The jb4 is a piggy back so guessing it’s not doing much for torque management.

To enable Launch control in the Stinger, I have to fully defeat traction and stability (which it sounds like you've successfully done), and also be in Sport mode (not Comfort/Eco/Smart/etc...). Not sure if there is launch control or Sport mode on the G80, but give that a shot.

I have heard that most of the vehicles with soft leaving aren't helped with the JB4. Probably due to it being a transmission controller and/or stability control issue. But maybe the JB4 will help some.

Some of their vehicles with the same drivelines do have launch control from the factory. But cracking the TCU and stability control may be more than the typical tuners are able to change. A local guy was working on the same issue with the Santa Cruz and custom tuning. But I think they didn't have any success as he hasn't posted anything since he had the custom tune appointment.
