I think the Tiburon could use a nice turbo setup on it

With Tiburon tuning the engine most tuned in Korea is the Beta engine from the first gen Tiburons. Concerning the newest Tiburons there are already alot of products and a growing aftermarket for the V6 platform. CNK has turbo applications built for the Beta engined cars, Accents, and the V6 Tib. Supercharger kit is about ready to come out with a 10 year / 100,000 mile warranty just like Hyundai. CNK is pressing for CARB certification and pressing for a hyundai backed dealer option for its superchargers. HKs Korea has applications for the Beta and V6 as well as other tuning companies such as Kuks Auto and JunBL. December 9th HyundaiPerformance.com will opening their store where they will be selling alot of goods from US vendors that showed their products at SEMA as well as importing Korean parts. There are 2 US based aftermarket companies: KORE and Shark Racing. KORE is a bit more performance oriented and currently releasing products mainly for the Tiburon. Shark Racing is more looks oriented creating and importing kits for Hyundais. Speed Camp showed off its Hyundai backed Tiburon dragster which will be competing this season. Speed Camp will also be marketing engine swap kits through HyundaiPerformance's store. These kits will allow the Beta engine to be dropped into the light Accents and Excels. Dropping the Beta into a light 91-94 will yield a 14 second car. From there its only a matter of tuning to get a good a great car. The engines are all cheap going for under 1k. Cheuk in Korea has gone past the 600HP barrier in his Tiburon and numerous shops in Korea have beaten well-known Japanese tuners and their Skylines and supercars. Kore will also becoming out with their own turbo applications ranging from mild to twin-turbo 600HP. CNK has already made designed their twin-turbo setup for the Alpha series engine. A twin-turbo setup for the Delta (V6 Tiburon) will not be made as it will not work as good as a single turbo.


Proof some people do care about Hyundai, I know I do.

Also 91-95 Hyundai Elantras and Sonatas have cousin motors to the DSM engines which makes them a direct drop. Hyundai4g63T, a member of HP.Com's BBS is working on his own track drag car shooting for 10s. There is also the twin engine tiburon from Sport Compact Cars USCC which had 600HP and was done at Mckinney in Texas.

Man............. I can't believe it. Props on the Tiburon, well that's cool that everyone is open minded. I do like the new body style of the Shark. I'm still curious to the reliability of a Hyundai, and how their engines will respond to mods.........
