Hyundai reliabilty.

The stock rods can theoretically take about 240whp before running into problems. The valves and valve springs and pistons are around 300hp, the crank is yet to go on any of them.

The tranny is the bitch of the car. You have to be careful with your differential and your driveshafts anywhere above 200whp.

BTW you have a way to go before you hit 200whp<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

the hyundais seem to have very very strong engines. i run my car sooooooo hard all the time. i got 50k miles on my 98 accent. so far i am yet to have one problem with this car in any way. i love this car. it even handles the abuse from the 55 shot of zex with no problem although i am careful. i dont think reliability is a question with hyundais. they are reliable. maybe you just cant drive and thats why you trashed your clutch??????????? <img src=icon_smile_tongue.gif border=0 align=middle><img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

did you just lose to an auto 4spd? i think you did...

Okay I'm sure I'm close to 200 whp, With bbt, hedder cai, cams, nitrous, etc.. 2nd maybe the problem is that when I race, I race my car like a man, also you have an accent, it has 90 hp. lets see 200 whp compared to 90 going through the clutch that could be the problem.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

I have all the same mods that you have. Intake, exhaust, 252° cam, <b>65 SHOT</b> nitrous, throttle body, etc... and I just passed 22,000 miles on my 2K. Not to mention my entire suspension has been ripped out, and I ride on air now. I have had absolutely ZERO issues with my Tib. Although my car is mostly set up to be a full show winner, I'm also just like IR2....a hardcore street racer! *lol* <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle> Anyway....I'm at the dealer alot and I keep in contact with most of the mechanics and they all say the same thing. Hyundai engines are built to last and withstand alot.
