i was so pissed off and tired by the time we got it all buttoned up i never got a finished pic. Then we where having throttle cable problems. Made a huge difference though. I used to hate Hyundias too but this is a quick little car (Tiburon). I Do hate the way the heat sheilds are st up and the desigenrs of the engine still though.

DOHC V6???!!! I thought they had 4 bangers in those. Hmm.

nice intake, how much of a difference did you notice on the bottom end?

[CBFryman 2]

GT's have DOHC v6 Stock with 176bhp. comes in 6 and 5 speed, 5 speed has less drivetrain loss. he has the 5 speed.

Bottom end i would say stayed about the same. its a "stage 4" intake manifolds. well loweri ntake manifold is the same as 2 and 3 but the upper intake manifold has longer runners and a biger bore. its really ment for boosted apps but it gains a little more than the "stage 3" from that company.

He plans on getting a turbo kit for it as soon they come out and the price starts to drop.

Aparently these things are ran pig rich from the factory. With intake and exaust they gain a true 20whp normally. Intake manfolds fro mthe factory everything else stock gians 20hp...i'd say he is sitting around 180whp. He wants a wideband fule tuner and to get the car on the dyno. I have no doubts this thing could do 200whp with a wide band and a dyno tune. I wish he had gone ahead and doen new injectors while we where swapping the manifolds beause the stocks limit the engine to about 300whp.

I dont know when the bottom end will give out but there are pleny of people running aroudn with 300whp with no problems supercharged. his ultamite plans for the car are a built bottom end and putting down over 400hp to the ground at full boost. If that will ever actually happens i dont know.
