Today we were able to wrap up our mini battery kit for the 4cyl Genesis Coupe. Installing our mini battery allowed us to drop 25.2lbs out of the front of the car. With our kit we were able to position the battery as close to the fire wall as possible while also lowering the position of the battery. We wanted to keep the kit low and tight to help with the handling of the car as much as possible.
Here you will see the factory battery positioned:
Here you will see the new Buschur Racing Mini Battery kit and how much smaller and lower it truly is.
The kit will come with:
Mini Battery
Buschur Racing Mini Battery Tray
All necessary pieces and hardware needed for installation
The final production piece will NOT have the front empty hole shown in the picture.
Installation takes about 10 minutes. There is no cutting of any kind required.
Price: $299

We had a good friend/customer of ours who took his Coupe to the track this weekend. Trevor Jones who is also on here as DragNRacing as he is the owner of our Time Attack Evo.
This was his post off of the Coupe forums:
The car does handle pretty well by just screwing around in it a bit. I played on the test track a bit out behind the dealer before buying it but thats really about it. I have not had the chance to really take the car anywhere other than just driving it around. I only owned the car for 2 days before we took it apart.
I honestly have no desire to "drift" the car though either.
This was his post off of the Coupe forums:
I was bit disapointed today with the car. I did not realize there is a factory rev limit when the clutch is engaged at a stand still. It will not rev over 5K. Bouncing off the limiter does not seem to build boost either so the tires were definitely over kill. I tried unplugging some switches under the dash to see if I could trick the ECU and no go. I also continued to bump into the rev limiter (torque governance) cut. I still managed to squeek out a 14.76@92.77 with about a 5-10MPH head wind. My best 60' though was a measly 2.053. Here is how the slip breaks down...
60 2.053
330 6.1117
1/8 9.451 @ 73.17
1000 12.334
1/4 14.765 @ 92.77
Most of my times were in the 14.9x range with 91.xx MPH. I will get the time slip scanned and also have some in car/out of car vids to upload.
It felt more like a .1 of a second but I still was hititng it and it was still slowing the car down. I am not sure on the reflash part, I have not asked the dealer but maybe the car came with it. With the 5K limiter removed and the governance removed, I am fairly certain a low 14 sec quarter would be fairly easy. With an aftermarket tune, boost controller, and drag radials some 13 second times should be easy.
Here is the out of car vid. It was the first time my friend Lil Man used my camera so it is a bit shaky on the top end with him trying to figure out the zoom. In car vid soon...

I would like to take the car to Mid-Ohio this year for an HPDE event. As soon as I get a chance I will be glad to report back but im sure you will receive other feedback before I end up making it down there for a day/weekend.

As we continue on with the R&D of the "Deuce Coupe" here at the shop we are prototyping and finalizing additions to our product line. With all of our daily tasks at the shop and this being such a new platform the entire R&D and fabricating process is very time consuming when added in with all of our other daily tasks, but we are progressing and moving right along.
The first pictures that you are going to see are our prototype hot and cold intercooler pipe kits. The pipes will be mandrel bent 2 1/2" aluminum and will be available in polished, brushed or a powder coated finish. Each kit will include all couplings and clamps needed for installation.
PRICE: T B D
Next is one of 2 front mount intercooler offerings that will be available from Buschur Racing. The Buschur Racing GC Standard FMIC upgrade requires only MINOR sanding of the inside of the front fascia. I have included pictures so you can see what will need to be done in order for this larger core to fit.
Measurements: 24" wide x 8" tall x 3 1/2" thick
Horsepower Rating: 675hp
PRICE: T B D
Front fascia inside BEFORE sanding:
Front fascia inside AFTER sanding:
Very minimal right? You cant tell its been touched especially from the front of the car.
We will have more on the other Buschur Racing FMIC offering later as the R&D and fitment wraps up with that. The Buschur Racing GC Race FMIC will come in at 24" wide x 12" tall and 3 1/2" thick while being rated to handle up to 1000hp. The price on this kit is also T B D. The Race core will REQUIRE removal or modification of your front crash bar.
Here is the comparison between the Buschur Racing Race FMIC upgrade, the Buschur Racing Standard FMIC upgrade and the tiny stock FMIC.
Each FMIC kit will utilize a Garrett intercooler core.
