Not a bad looking setup mang, I like the finish on your intake piping. Interesting placement of the tacho. I see that the GK steering wheel has tripped your airbag light





Have you had it on the dyno?

Have you had it down the quarter mile?

How the hell is that registered in california?

 

Nice! Stock internals? How many lbs boost are you running? Whats up with the front bumper!? THAT is not stock. Any pics of the front end from further back?

 

Thank you... And yes... the tacho was place there in order to grab less attention and be free of any visibility.. and yea switching to a new steering wheel has turned my airbag light.. no biggie...



Nope.... the dyno is pending as well as any time recordings... The reason is that Im still having several troubleshoots that I will be mentioning.. Thats where I hope I can get some suggestions/help.



haha right.... Im driving under the radar... but every time I see a cop, my balls drop ha.... I try not to drive recklessly and grab attention..... I just hope luck is on my side....

 

I appreciate it man... thanks....

Yes stock internals..... Is there anything that can be done to upgrade this alpha engine... Ive been looking everywhere....

And as is, without being tuned.. its running 5-6 lbs.... I plan to get it tuned at 8 psi a little later after I get some suggestions in the problems Im having now and fix them... I was told however not to exceed 9psi as the engine will not handle and blow up...

Yes your right... the bumper is not stock... it comes from a jet-speed body kit. And Ill probably load some more pictures later on.. so hold me to that.... ha

 

I would really appreciate any suggestions you have in order to make the car run as smooth as possible and extend its live without running into many problems down the road. Any suggestions or tips are really appreciated from knowledge you have or past experiences...

As of now Im still encountering some troubleshoots.... these include the following:



1) The turbo housing is dripping coolant... Im running oil and coolant for cooling the turbo... the dripping is not coming from neither the feed or return line.. its coming from some screws on the housing.. I tried tightening them, but somehow coolant manages to squeeze out... I hope to upload a picture to show you exactly from where.. to get a better picture of this...



2) The oil return connection from the turbo housing to the oil pan is dripping at the oil pan connection.. It drips and drips.. I tried many things, but i can figure out a way to stop the leaking....



These two problems are very annoying.. seeing a puddle of oil and coolant after going for a short drive... they seem like there easy problems to fix, but somehow I can figure it out.. Need HELP!



3) Engine noise... I do not like the noise the engine is making... its like clipping a card to your bike wheel and making that flapping noise when you ride it.... It might be an exhaust leak... so Im gonna look into that.. any suggestions....



4) Apexi Tuning Unit- anyone... in order to smooth out the fuel a little better.. until i can actually afford a dyno...



Recommendations, tips, suggestions anyone?

 

If alpha motor is like beta motor SAFC doesnt work right use different ecu like fic. take out leaking screws silicone or loctite reinstall. Engine noise could be anything youll need to troubleshoot yourself.

good luck

 

The engine noise could just be "normal" Hyundai noise? Are you using a Hyundai OEM oil filter? That should quite it down quite a bit
