ok i read in another forum that (random) said to list what you need and someone will get back with a link or phone number to follow up what you need........so here it is

2000 Elantra GLS......im looking for..
Higher performance then factory US stock, preferably Titanium...
Pistons, Rings, Valves, Rods, Cams, Crank....can you gain any torque or whp by swapping on a different head or anything?

 

i havent seen any companies selling tiatnium parts for our cars...but i could easily be wrong. i dont know of anyone selling a crank either.

i know you can get pistons, rods, intake cam (theres a post going about swapping the exhaust cam but random is still researching it) about swapping heads, you may wanna read up on that, theres a post going on that as well.

Yes, they are out there. Tell me why you need to spend 3 times the cost of stock units for Titanium, and what you need them for, and I'll tell you where to get them from.

If Red can use stock springs and "normal" Ross pistions and "normal" crower rods...what in the hell do you think you are doing that you need Titanium rods, pistions, springs..etc... for?

 

im not sure, but i underestimated the cost of titanium internals.... eek! i think id rather just go with forged to be safe....

I found titainum rods...but they are about $1500 for a set of 4.

Crower rods are $500 to $600 for a set of 4. They don't stock 2.0L beta rods, but they have the specs and will make them in 6 weeks for you.

Ross has the stock piston dimentions and specs. They can make forged pistions for you in just about any compression ratio you would care for. The units Red purchased are about $600-$700 for 4 and come with rings. The compression ratio on those units is 9.2:1 If I remember right.

The stock valve springs are darn durable for the most part, but www.rpw.com.au can get you stiffer units or even titainum units. You can also buy them in the USA via Shark Racing.

For that matter, RPW has a T28 turbo package for the Beta motor for around $2500-$2800 if I remember my pricing right.
e-mail "customerservice@sharkracing.com" for a full spec list of what is included and a firmer price quote...i'm relying on my somewhat foggy memory.

 

T28?? hmm definately gonna have to do that, thanks for the info random. also are you still selling your custom cai's? also do you have a link for the rods and pistons or a # i can call?

For the RPW turbo kit..e-mail customerservice@sharkracing.

For the rods or pistions, if you call Ross/crower, they should know what you are talking about. However, you might want to get your turbo/boost levels figured out before you order in your pistions. the 9.2:1 pistions that Red ordered are a fairly high compression level for the high ammounts of boost you want to run. If you are willing to run less boost, you can make as much power with the higher static compression ratio, but it will require more intensive tuning, a rework of the combustion chamber/port areas, and better engine management. If you don't want to go that route, you might want to have them make 8.5:1 or 8:1 slugs for you. Your previously stated target of 25 PSI is a lot of boost for 9.2:1 static compression.

Red had posted the crower and Ross Part numbers and their cost, and I believe the names of who he spoke with. He even posted pictures of the nice bits too! *drool*
