To get a Tiburon reliably to the 300+WHP mark, you're looking at about $10,000 worth of work not including labor.
The thing is, that work would be perfectly sufficient for 300WHP, as well as about 600WHP...

Yeah, I think I'll probably draw the line around 325-350 for the street use. But if I'm at the track? I'm still considering strapping on a direct-port setup and spraying my way into the 500WHP area while at the strip.
Guess we'll see, huh?

What if your on the race track, with racegas, nitrous, a zillion psi of boost, race slicks, and all the works, and you launch...
and blow your engine... sad.gif
you wasted all your money just for this...
kinda makes you think, doesnt it?

Nope, not worried one bit.
If I spent $4000 on just a UFB turbo kit, I might be worried... Stock rods? Stock bearing clearances? Hyper-eutectic pistons? Push about 1.5bar of boost into that type of setup for very long at it will start to break down.
But I'm not doing that.
The engine is being severely over-built for my application. For nearly all of it, I've been following the build "recipe" that the Koreans use for their severe-duty engines. If they can crank 600+ wheel horsepower in an engine built the same way that I'm doing mine, then I'm not worried about 350WHP + 150 shot of nitrous.
And if it blows up?
Who cares? It's a project. Making an engine create 3x it's stock-rated horsepower comes with risks -- one of them is turning it into a grenade. Yeah it would suck, but I'd probably just rebuild it again.
But this motor, on 350WHP and nitrous? Nope, not worried one bit.
