2004 Hyundai Tiburon Turbo

The car is solid, in great shape, and low miles. The motor runs great. No check engine light or stored codes. It has some loose ends that I lost interest in finishing, but nothing to keep you from driving and enjoying the car. The stock motor was turbocharged 3 years ago with a Garrett T25. The build includes a OBX-R turbo manifold, ARK single cat delete exit exhaust, HKS blow off valve, Hyundai 290cc injectors to support 5psi of boost, front mount intercooler with aluminum charge pipes, ACT 6 puck clutch, eBay short throw shifter, Autometer oil pressure, boost, volts gauges in A-pillar pod, AEM UEGO wide band mounted in dash, HKS turbo timer, and AEM Fuel Ignition Controller (not installed but will include with sale). The harness needs to be wired in and the car can then be taken to a certified AEM tuning shop. I do have a non turbo header for the car if a turbo motor is not for you. The build is capable of much more than it currently is running but it is extremely reliable in its current state. The car is currently running off the factory ECU but has compensated for boost via larger injectors so no issues there. A/C was deleted out of the car to relocate the alternator away from the turbo as part of the turbo build. There is no radio in the car currently, but all the connections and mount are there to install a double DIN stock or aftermarket radio. No cruise control either. Some of the interior panels have been painted blue. OTTO-R seats have been installed, non-slider, but the factory seats will be included with the vehicle. Suspension has been modified with Drop Zone lowering springs and Koni adjustable struts, pretty stiff ride but not back breaking. Konig 18x8 wheels with Nankang NS-II tires 60% tread. The car does need an alignment and tires balanced. The headlights are shot. They became very hazed a few years back and were slightly tinted, but now just need to be replaced with new ones. The back seats have been removed and refinished to support a JL Audio sub box (audio components not included in sale). Aftermarket tail lights are also tinted but in great shape and never been bothered by law enforcement.The car is tinted 15% all the way around. Probably forgetting a lot of other stuff. I can send more pictures if needed. The car has never been a daily driver for me, rather a toy to screw around with so if you're not mechanically inclined or want a little bit of a project, this car is not for you.

The car is as-is. I'm the second owner of the car so everything listed above is everything I know about it. I'm listing the car for sale because I don't really drive it much anymore and could spend the money on something else. To be clear, I don't need to sell the car so low ball offers won't be entertained.

Consumer Reports criticizes small turbo engines for misleading performance, fuel economy claims [w/video]

Tue, 05 Feb 2013

Consumer Reports has taken aim at at small-displacement, forced-induction engines, saying the powerplants don't manage to deliver on automaker fuel economy claims. Manufacturers have long held that smaller, turbocharged engines pack all power of their larger displacement cousins with significantly better fuel economy, but the research organization says that despite scoring high EPA economy numbers, the engines are no better than conventional drivetrains in both categories. Jake Fisher, director of automotive testing for Consumer Reports, says the forced induction options "are often slower and less fuel efficient than larger four and six-cylinder engines."
Specifically, CR calls out the new Ford Fusion equipped with the automaker's Ecoboost 1.6-liter four-cylinder engine. The institute's researchers found the engine, which is a $795 option over the base 2.5-liter four-cylinder, fails to match competitors in acceleration and served up 25 miles per gallon in testing, putting the sedan dead last among other midsize options.
The Chevrolet Cruze, Hyundai Sonata Turbo and Ford Escape 2.0T all got dinged for the same troubles, though Consumer Reports has found the turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder in the BMW 328i does deliver on its promises. You can check out the full press release below. You can also read the full study on the Consumer Reports site, or scroll down for a short video recap.

South Korea firms up fuel economy regs following Hyundai/Kia debacle

Tue, 30 Apr 2013

According to a report from Reuters, South Korea's government has drafted strict new rules for automakers to follow when calculating fuel economy. The legislation comes after a major snafu by Hyundai and Kia that resulted in the automakers lowering the estimated fuel mileage of many popular models - some by several miles per gallon, including the Soul subcompact above - and compensating owners in the US and Canada for the reduction.
The new fuel economy rules were announced by the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy in South Korea and will see average mileage ratings drop by roughly three to five percent, according to the report. In addition, manufacturers found guilty of overstating mileage figures will be liable for fines of up to $900,000.
These sweeping new regulations will go into effect in the second half of 2013 and, while they won't have any effect on EPA estimates for Hyundai and Kia vehicles in the United States, they are expected to result in new ratings for the two automakers in their home market of South Korea, where they enjoy a whopping 70-percent market share.

Hyundai i30 comes to America as the 2018 Elantra GT

Thu, Feb 9 2017

At last year's Paris Auto Show, Hyundai revealed its clean and classy i30 hatchback, with the promise that it would arrive in the US as the Elantra GT. The company has fulfilled that promise and then some, bringing us the same attractive hatch, but with even more power. Visually and structurally, the car is pretty much identical. The lines aren't fussy, and the look is more upright than its predecessor. The interior is reasonably attractive, but we wish the infotainment display was better integrated with the dash like the Elantra sedan's dash. View 52 Photos The big differences are under the hood. The European i30 features an array of gas and diesel engines, and the most potent of which produced only about 140 horsepower. In the United States, the least powerful Elantra GT is the naturally aspirated 2.0-liter inline-4 that makes 162 horsepower. And if that's not enough, a Sport version will be offered with Hyundai's 201-horsepower turbocharged 1.6-liter. The Elantra GT Sport, like its sedan counterpart, also picks up a few other improvements. It trades in the standard hatch's torsion bar rear suspension for a multi-link set-up. It also moves up to 18-inch alloy wheels, instead of the standard 17-inch alloys, and larger front and rear disc brakes. The interior gets some sportier accoutrements, too. View 6 Photos All Elantra GTs will be available with a number of premium options, including leather, dual-zone climate control, cruise control with start and stop functionality, automatic emergency braking, and lane keeping assist. You'll also be able to use Hyundai's Blue Link Alexa feature. Interested buyers will be able to check out an Elantra GT at dealer lots this summer, but Hyundai has not yet released pricing.
