Wait a minute...Hyundai's don't suck?

[ballmode]

I thought the stock block on a V6 could only handle about 225-250whp and they would have problems...

list your mods in your first post again

Yah, but I'd rather not spoil my good name on there lol.

Don't even try to tell me this car is only good in a straight line. I recently won the Triple Crown Tuner Speed Challenge. It is a 2.5mile road course. Among the defeated cars are a 700hp Twin Turbo 300zx. I might show up in Modified Magazine and Sport Compact Car next month.

The only way you could have possibly won is if the other drivers didn't know what the hell they're doing.

yes...they still suck...
problems
1) fwd
2) POS v6 (too much weight in the front)
3) hyundai

also...your video is extremely ricey (music, useage of video and images) and you need to learn how to make a decent video (i saw the same pic like 20x) AND you need to not fast-forward the track clips...HUGE no-no when editing anything to do with racing (if you deny it i will prove it...don't lie)
i personally think the tiberons look like ******, but i suppose aesthetics is up to you...but at least it is all riced out with giant ass wing, neons (no neons right?) stupid stickers...etc. so i will give you props on that...
i wouldnt debate the dyno numbers...isnt bad for a medium-weight car...but with stock internals at 11psi...how long do you think it is going to last? I didnt look at your list of mods...but i would hope you have all the extras you need to go along with that (better radiator, intercooler, bigger oil coolers (more), possibly forged internals, etc.)

22k for a car like that IS bad IMO...looks aside, i coulod build about 20-30 different cars for that much with more HP/TQ...but i suppose if i were to build an 03+ model with the same numbers i would widdle the list down to 5-10...but again...i suppose if you like FWD (WHY!?!) and you like the way it looks...it isnt the worst choice...

not trying to be an ass (about the video an all)...it wasnt horrible...just giving tips for better one next time...

I listed the engine mods in my first post. Some of the early Tibs out of Korea were blowin up when supercharged, but they can still handle a lot of horse power. The only weaknesses are the aluminum block and crank bearing. It's fine as long as you tune it properly, run colder plugs, and don't exceed 15psi. People have run 13psi safely for close to 100,000 miles. I played it safe though since there is really no need for my car to be faster than it already is. Ironically, the I4 does have more peak potential if you slap on a large turbo because of the tough cast iron block.

I thought the V6 was getting 600 hp with NGM turbo? I didn't realize the 4 could top that.

 

[Journer]

it must be a very ****** engine if it cant handle high power because of the block....my SR20 was aluminum block and the block could handle more power than any internals you could replace...i dont think i have seen too many crack SR20s ......

Advice taken, but I wouldn't really trade my car for anything other than a Lotus Elise, Corvette Z06, or better. Maybe a 350Z although I have taken quite a few of them out in races (mostly stock).

I happen to like FWD if you have a nice Limited Slip and can control the power. idk, don't ask me why. Funny you say my v6 is a heavy pos when it is actually one of the lightest engines out there because of its aluminum construction. The I4 weighs close to 200lbs more lol.

Forged internals aren't really necessary at this point. The stock internals will hold up quite well up until 400hp if you treat it right. Oh, new I left something out of my mod list. Forgot to mention I have a tranny cooler.

Aesthetics are up to your taste, but I can't find many cars that look better than it.

I posted this in another thread, but this definately is worthy of its own topic. 2 years ago, I chose a Tiburon GT over a Scion TC and never looked back. For a Hyundai, this car has served me pretty damn well. Easily the best car I've ever driven.

Being the car enthusiast that I am, I modded the hell out of it. I'd list all the parts, but that'd be way too much typing. The important facts are that it is running an 11psi intercooled and alcohol injected supercharger. I'm proud to say that I installed every modification myself. The total cost of the project (including the car) was about $22,000.

For those of you who can't believe me, I made a short compilation video featuring some engine shots, a few races, and of course your favorite theme music. I have tons of other recorded street races that can be posted at request.

Enjoy!

Edit: Mod List (engine only)

Injen SRI
Hotshot Headers
Borla Exhaust
Eaton MP62 Supercharger
6.5in Crank Pulley
2.75in Supercharger Pulley
Seoulful Racing ECU Reflash
290cc Injectors
Alpine Alcohol Injection Kit
Laminova Intercooler Core

I think that's it, but I always forget to include something.

Aren't you still in high school?....

I was going to say that that thing really moves off the line, but then someone said that you fast forwarded the racing parts.

So instead I'm going to say that you suck. You would have gotten a lot more respect if you would have been up front.

 

[AbAbber2k]

Cool. Love Tiburons.

 

[fs5]

it's an automatic?

 

[dxkj]

First drag: 7 seconds
Second drag: 6.5 seconds
Third drag: 6.5-7 seconds
Fourth drag: 7 seconds
Fifth drag: 7 seconds


DAMN that is a fast car


So you fast forwarded the video 40 ish percent? I thought that thing looked faster than it should be

That's weak man... Leave the video's alone next time...

that fast forward thing is seriously not cool.

that car is faster than an f1 supercar.

Ya, the FF is seriously gay. Your stock just went down.

So is the knight rider music.

Otherwise, I like the car, except for the color. And the fart can.

 

[McGyver]

what's with the knight rider music?? prolly should get some j-pop, in ur case, k-pop would be more suitable.

1/4 mile or 1/8 mile?

i find the curious lack of dyno sheets and timeslips troubling

Me too! :|

So here's what I've been able to find:

[MasterAndCommander]

I'm guessing low-to-mid 13's at best in the 1/4 mile

 

[Evadman]

that has to be the fastest Hyundai of all time. Unless one fell out of a plane at some point.

[RedArmy]

I'll race you at a strip sometime. I may lack torque and a turbo/supercharger but my car is still pretty good. 200hp in a ~2000lb car. You're only a state away.

seriously

that's funny, if you search for this 'triple crown tuner challenge' thing on google, turns out it a hyundai sponsored event.

if this thread were about a pimped out civic winning a honda sponsored event, this thread would be 100+ posts full of merciless and neverending flaming.

sorry, hyundai still blows, even more so now, complete with that factory rice engine cover that pretends to have a longitudinally mounted motor in a tranverse fwd car.
