spark plugs are a mod?

Lol Nice eye I copied and pasted. I had a list of things I've replaced I thought I deleted it all. I guess that one I over looked.

Have been in a car with sold engine mounts? Do you realize your car is going to be a giant vibrator when you install them?

Yeah I don't mind it. I have a polyurethane rear motor mount in right now. I am not too happy with it. I think it gives the engine too much play. Solid mm's will help if or when I boost it.

you still wanting to go s/c? this is andrew240 btw..

Not sure. I've been waiting on an Eaton MP62 blower to pop up at a decent price for a year. So my s/c manifold has just been sitting this whole time. I think I might of found someone finally. If he bails on me I am just going to do n/a this year then maybe turbo it next year.

:headbang:i will say the car does look damn good though, never seen a s/c or even a turbo tibby before, how much power can u expect if you boost it?

Thank you sir. Just depends really. Lots of variables like the size pulley, or the turbo size. I see a lot of turboed tibs (v6) that are just pushing 5psi usually land around 240hp depending on if their tuned or not. NGM s/c stage 0 (maybe 3-5psi) nets around 210hp-220hp. The highest turboed tiburon I've heard of 580hp (not sure if it was v6 or i4). The highest s/c tiburon I've seen of was 700hp (to the crank). I believe that was achieved with an SVT blower.

Sorry I messed up the 550hp (700hp to the crank) was a turboed one. It still doesn't beat the Korean ones I've seen on youtube though.

This is the same guy he produces the s/c kits for our community. This is his supercharged. The SVT kit put down 440hp.
http://www.youtube.com/user/nextgen03gt#p/u/2/uEz8vter7sU

Yeah they are fwd. They're not a good platform. The aftermarket isn't heavy with products so the prices are high on anything. They're not a n/a beast or anything so bolts on don't do a whole lot. If I were to do I/H/E, UIM (upper intake manifold), LIM (lower intake manifold), and maybe some mild cams my car might go from 150hp to 185hp. They're money pits. I went with it for the fact it was just right thing at the time and I've stayed with it because it's different.

If you plan on doing a turbo set up for a v6 you have to have it all custom done no pre made turbo manifolds or anything. Supercharger kits start off at $3k and go up to $5k. Tuning is always a hassle with them. Stock internals are only good up to 300hp turboed set ups have pushed a little past that. The highest n/a hp one in America only put down like 220hp.

With all that being said I am not one of those kids with wild dreams of putting down some crazy numbers or some shit. I live in reality for the most part. Mine hasn't done me wrong. I've beat on her several times before but for the most part I take care of her and she has returned the favor.

Wow I forgot I had a member page here lol.

Some things have changed since I last posted here.
Let's see;
I got new wheels (before drop).

BBK installed

Megan Racing coil-overs (I got impatient waiting to save up for Teins).

Far as engine mods go I have a Mishimoto radiator, and Mishimoto trans cooler now.
Just some powder coating valve covers and lower manifold.

I have all I need to install the supercharger now. The only catch is I am sending it to Cali for some special treatment before she goes on.

Edit: O and OP has been edited.

O and how she sits now.

I think it's a good thing you went with Megans over Teins....every set of Tein Coils I have ridden on that are newer are absolutely horrible. Never had a problem at all out of Megan Coils.

Hmm.... I'll take your word on it. Since it's coming from a guy with such a leet build! (Hats off for having a bad ass 240.)

thematz said:
This is true. I've seen way more blown Teins than Megan's. You have my attention for building something different.

True I know it's far from the smartest choice. I've reached the point with this car where I don't car about numbers or drag strip times. I just want to have a fun car that I enjoy driving.

Hmmm Rotora's... Yummy...

Yes sir!

Best investment yet IMO. Great company too by far one of the best customer services I've dealt with.

pretty car, always liked how the tiburon looked (later generations). too bad they are just so small

Thanks! I wish they were smaller or lighter one of the two lol. I am over 6'2 and I don't have a problem fitting.

This looks like a decent build! I was not expecting when I clicked the link lol (sorry!)

Thanks guys! No it's cool lol. There aren't many out there done tastefully. Some of the best compliments come from people who hate tiburons or don't think much of them. Let's me know I am doing it right.

THA KERNALLL said:
Looking nice! Really think they should have been RWD

I wish they were awd. The 04' Santa Fe's have the exact same engine and all but they are awd. Have you ever heard of a Spirra? It has the delta (same engine in my car) except it's a rwd mid engine.

AllGOnoSHOW said:
Definitely a huge improvement over stock! Years ago there was a guy named Stuwart who had a panda tiburon like yours modded out.

Much appreciated!

thematz said:
Hmm in for pics of the interior for the heck of it.

These are the only interior pictures I have so far. I would take one today but the interior looks like shit. I am in the process of doing a blue light conversion so half my stuff is blue and orange.

Nice car and looks great. Only question I have is: Why auto and how do the auto trans hold up to the power of a forced induction setup?

Daily driver, and I've seen them being able to hold over +300hp (that's double stock whp) without any modifications.

Good to known. And to each there own...I do not think a stick with a reasonable clutch is that bad to daily.

Well I thought I would go that route. But I did my homework and found out 03-04 tibs have horrible transmission problems. A buddy of mine that had an 04 had constant problems with the transmission.

Damn straight!

On a side note since the last time I posted I had a tire come off a wheel. So I went back to my stock wheels. I guess it was partial stretched tires and a somewhat bad alignment made the right mixture to cause this.

Nothing special just some current pics.

Front end looks good. Stretched tires are gay.

I agree I absolutely can't stand when the lip of a wheel has a gap between it and the tire. I didn't mind mine so much because it was a subtle stretch compared to what I am used to seeing online. Thanks front still isn't done yet, I've got two pieces to add/change up. New wheels and tires should be on in a couple of months. Definitely going with a more performance geared set up with light weight wheels, beefy tires, ect.

Not a fan of Tiburon's at all, but this one looks really clean. And as everyone stated above, this car should've been RWD. I hate when auto manufacturers take a car that has potential of being cool, and ruin it with FWD. I used to have a 2004 Dodge Stratus R/T and that thing had some spunk and would've been awesome with a 5spd and RWD...something to compete with low end Mustangs perhaps. Nevertheless, was built as average crap and lost in the sea of worthless vehicles.

Nice Tiburon.

Thank you sir! At least they went somewhat in the right direction with the Genesis.

Supercharger looks sick.

Thanks! Took long enough to get it back and it's still not done. I will be sending the rotor pack out in a couple of weeks to get them drilled to make them light weight. Then it's getting rebuilt. The bearings got ruined when they dipped the blower.

A little bit closer to finishing the supercharger build just need light weight rotor pack, and have it rebuilt. Just got my manifold back in the mail today.

I haven't really done much to the car since I last updated this. I bought a set of NGM heads (stiff valve springs). I sent the intake manifold off again for it to get re powder coated I didn't like the color combination with the blue and gold. New color will be a different color and a little darker. I also picked up another transmission a lot less miles and I plan on getting some work done to it. I received my heat exchanger a couple of days ago. I am possibly going to have it anodized as well.

Once I receive my intake manifold, valve covers, and fuel rails I will only have a couple of things left on to do on the supercharger project. I will be looking for new hoses steel braided ones for the coolant lines, a cobra water pump, reservoir tank, a MAPECU tuner, and gauges. I am still debating on whether or not I want to boost a 150k mile engine.. When I turn the boost up I am planning on going another block, CP pistons, and Pauter rods.

How she currently looks.
