Hi all,

I have been reading some of the questions and comments about the Turbo upgrades for Tibby's and other Hyundais.

I have built a Tiburon Turbo, the strongest in South Africa so far, we have made 210KW and 440NM at 0.5bar boost and will be looking to up the boost to 1.0bar soon. (14.7PSI) We are expecting over 350KW and 700NM plus.

I have photo's of the project in it's various stages, aswell as the individual components. If anyone has any questions or needs any advise on what to use or how to place the components, I will be more than willing to assist you.

Please could others that have also T/charged their Hyundais also share this so that I can perhaps learn more from you.

Please could you also inform me how to post a picture on this post, I can't seem to work this out....

UFB, I have the pictures you sent to KORE, so I'll post them for you.

What internal mods have you done to build up the bottom-end of the engine?

We might be partnering up with Level 10, so they'd be able to get you an upgraded torque converter and they can make your tranny stronger to handle the power of turbo.

mrfrieze, find the book Maximum Boost by Corky Bell.

Excellent reading material.

I agree. A turbo kit with full instructions (including a video) is one hell of a lot easier than building custom motor mounts and trying to cram an engine in that sits on the other side of the engine bay and require custom hub fabrication and so on.

Remember, your Sonata came with a Mitsu engine so it was easy, but the Tiburon has a Hyundai engine.
