Turbo

Hey i was wondering what hyundai has for bypassing the MASS air flow sensor so my setup will work... will i even need to bypass it?...my friend with a boosted rsx said he had a thing called the missing link that bypassed it....what gains can i expect from the speed factor setup ....???

You might wanna consider getting this.

your gains shouldnt be too great from speed factor, sinisters right on this 1

there are also people working on a duel fuel rail setup, in which the extra 4 injectors are controled by a smt6.

works great...heres a group buy on em actually

and heres another thread with more info....

denisst's dual fuel rail (http://www.rdtiburon.com/index.php?showtopic=5837&hl=injectors)

Thanks people i ll look into this stuff

Just make sure you come back and tell us what you decided on/did.

You been smoking crack??!! At 10 or so psi he can easily put down around 220 whp. That's a 100 whp gain dude. Not exactly what I'd call a "small" gain.

thanks you guys .... I talked to the guy at speed factor and he said with that setup the MAF doesnt read the boost because it is before the turbo. so all i need is Y band for the AFC and ill be good to go....

how do you know his gain will be that big? if it is then yes i am smoking crack but we'll see once he gets it done...

Because Tim (Speed-Factor) dyno'd his Elantra wagon at 12 psi, and was putting down about 235'ish WHP UNTUNED. Really, don't put down Tim's stuff like you did, especially if you're ignorant on how much power can easily be obtained from his kits.

i did no such thing!!!! i comepletely take back what i say, you prooved me wrong,... and dont call me ignorant!!!!!!!

Hi guys, first time here. I have the Sharkracing stage1 turbo kit. Any idea what's the max safe boost in PSI on stock pistons/rods/rings. The only engine mod is a thicker head gasket to lower compression. If u r familliar with the kit, it comes w/ remapped ECU and bigger injectors. Conserned w/ overboost and damaging engine internal components. Thanks.

link to said turbo kit please. i wouldnt push far past 8 psi if you just wanna play it safe.

theres the kit... i've been looking around for me one too, but i don't know about ordering anything abour shark racing because of all the negative feedback

Go to www.sharkracing.com and follow the links to the 03 Tiburon turbo kit. I must worn u though, Sharkracing may not be the best choice for turboing Tiburons, I got mine from them thinking I got the best deal, most HP for the price, but it turned out that I had to add more stuff to have the job done right. The intercooler sucks totally, u won't get the one in the picture... had to custom build an intercooler, modify the fuel rail, extand the downpipe, and add a turbo air intake with filter, Botton line, the kit is NOT a complete bolt-on as claimed and when u add the cost for all the additional stuff, u end up well above $4000, let alone the installation cost if u r not doing it yourself. My ride is currently in the shop for the installation and should be done by mid next week. Can't tell u yet how it's gonna be, but I think anybody thinking about turboing their Tiburon should consider other vendors here in the US. learned my lesson and learned it the hard way. I will be posting photos and specs on Cardomain, check out my ride there: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/668851
About the 8 PSI max boost, may I ask how u got the figure, I mean do u know first hand of anybody how boosted over 8 PSI and had damage? or is it just a suggestion?

screw shark racing
go to r-e.com and get their turbo kits....

they got plaenty to choose from

Ok, just reading through tryin to learn a bit more about turbo kits. Well I see WHP/BHP around all the time, but I kinda felt stupid askin before so I will ask it now.

What exactly does WHP and BHP stand for and whats the difference?

wheel horse power
brake specific horse power or flywheel horsepower.

thanks guys for the feedback anyway. if u wanna know more about the kit and its performance specs, just let me know...

wheel horse power
brake specific horse power or flywheel horsepower.

Ok thanx. Now what does that all mean lol. I'll take a shot in saying the whp is moving the tires and bhp is powering the engine. Close? :confused:

ok, an engine produce certain horsepower (power) that can be measured at the flywheel which is pretty much the first place where u can make use out of it in the form of rotation. from the flywheel, the rotation has to be transferred to the transmission and then to the wheels. during such process of power transfer, u can see that things have to be put in motion which uses part of the power and by the time the wheels are turning, u would have lost some of the power that was produced by the engine. so u will have a standard HP rating and a WHP. WHP is always less than standard HP. check out this link to learn more about this and pretty much everything else u can imagine. good luck.

Is there any way to convert or guestimate your WHP based on know HP? Like if I wanted to take the stock HP of an '01 Tibby which is 140, is there a way to get an estimated whp out of that number?

Sorry for the twenty questions session, lol.

People in general figure about 15% loss from the standard HP to WHP. However, to be 100% sure, u have to dyno test your car. look for local shops that have chassis dynos. was the link to www.howstuffworks.com helpful?

Yeah it always helps. Ive looked it up there before, but didnt tell me much about the loss from engine to wheel. Appreciate the info though.
