one word, damn Hey Dixieflatline, you have a shiftronic also?

 

Yep. Its alright. great takeoff but its for ever to get to 120. The problem is the 3rd to 4rth ratios. Thanx RED. LOL Expect me to show up on your doorstep someday. LOL

 

OPPS I forgot to ask. Ok were talking 300 Crank as safe? Right?
Thanx Again. rolleyes.gif

 

300 crank horsepower is probably as safe as using a 5000RPM air-powered die grinder to trim your fingernails. You might not cut yourself immediately, but you ARE going to get cut and it's going to hurt like a bitch...

The Hyundai Beta engine is the only real Korean engine worth seriously modifying. The rest of the engines fall in two groups.

One... we'll copy the Japanese engines but use cheaper metals, allow more tolerances, build it faster.

Two... we'll engineer the entire engine to handle stock power for exactly 150K miles. No more and no less.

It seems like whenever we modify these other engines we are in a constant cycle of finding weak stock parts... pistons, crank, bearings... It's cheaper to swap to a Beta or a rebuilt Japanese engine.

There are a couple of big horsepower SM5's, with Nissan 2.0 L copies or Sonatas with Mitus 2.0 L copies running around 400-500 Wheel hp) but... very little of these cars engines are stock. About the only thing stock is the block.

 

That completely SUCKS! and to think that I'm goin gaga over the Delta. sad.gif

I saw somewhere that Hyundai had a V8 engine that (i think) was called "Omega". Anyone heard of it?

Think about it.. a b*tchin' V8 Tib...
