About your sig... I'm interested in info about boosting a Tiburon, too. One of my friends just bought a brand new loaded 0-mile '04 with leather for $16k because the salesman accidentally backed into his Accord while he was on the lot.
wned:
That 2.5L I've heard is an actual Hyundai motor, but I have found so many Mitsubishi parts on that car that I'm suspicious. It's hard to tell with all that cowling in the engine bay. Has anyone boosted a Tiburon 2.5L V6 successfully yet, and are the bottom ends really strong enough to handle it? I wouldn't boost the Mitsu 2.5 unless everything in the bottom end was aftermarket. It's a good looking car, though. And nobody would expect that car to be fast, either. I like the interior a lot, though.

the tiburon is on juice right now..jetted at 100shot,..probably not the smartest thing but my girl doesnt give a shit,..she refuses to drive her own damn tiburon nowadays and just wants to drive one of the hatches,...she has the GT V6 6spd,..one thing though is the transmission and clutch in the 6spd suck ass and will blow the fawk up,...i havent researched much about boosting her but ive seen one or two of them on the net and i know if i really wanted to figure it out i could just pull the car into one of my bays and go to town on her,..if your buddy is really interested than give me a week or so and ill see what i can come up with

stay away from wierd body kits and huge wings and clear tail lights and you should be good. and now i'm starting to see a lot of show cars are turbo charged. So that should be a requirement...like the first post said you better have the power to back it up. cause if someone sees a sweet car and then looks in the engine bay and sees a stock honda motor their opinions change instantly
