What Should I Do First?
Hmm, just thinking.. how much would it cost me, to buy turbocharger for my car (2.0 engine)?
There is no option to buy it on polish ebay - the only thing, that I found is turbocharger on sharkrecing.com and it cost $4.3k - to expensive for me..
I can see, that there is lot of turbocharged cars in this forum.
I won't belive, that you all bought it on sharkracing. smile.gif
Maybe there is a different car, that has turbo with can be used in Tiburon RD?

Judging by this thread, you're not remotely ready for a turbo kit. Plus unless you go with cheap unreliable parts, any decent turbo kit with tuning will run you in the $3-4k range.
Stick to smaller mods first until you get more experience working on your car, and until you learn more.

you want cheap inexpensive mods to increase 0-60 time? The best thing I can think of is dropping weight out of your car laugh.gif Take out the back seats and spare tire along with the rear windshield wiper motor and the seat belt buckle brackets, nobody can possibly fit back there anyways, lol. Remove all the lining in the trunk, well basically the particle board spare tire cover with tire jack. get light weight wheels, stock RD wheels are about 18Ibs, try finding some that are 15-16Ibs. Get drilled/slotted rotors to match them on all four wheels (usually unnecessary to replace back wheel disks cause the front does most of the work, but drilled/slotted rotors drop rotational weight.). Buy the equal length headers that you can find in one of the vendors on this site, these are about 275$ and will mount up to the stock flex pipe. Headers actually drop weight as well since it removes the primary catalytic converter, plus you gain power and torque.
Watch this youtube video of my car against a 6.0L v8 GTO, my 0-60 time crushed the GTO but I ended up losing on the stretch, lol. I did however beat him at the 1/8 mile time.
ME vs GTO/mustang

all right than!
First of all, I'll take care about my Cold Air Intake - I think that my current exhaust system will do the job.
Than, I'll work on losing some weight. Can't remove my back seats, but spare tire and other things from my trunk sounds acceptable.
Thanks guys.

just to add this in there, I think the spare tire weighs about 24-27Ibs. So thats really easy to drop, and why can you remove back seats?, it only requires a metric socket wrench with correct 12 or 6 point adapter? Its an easy 30-40Ibs drop when removing that with brackets. So you should lose about 100Ibs after doing just the back seat and spare tire with jack and cover. They say its 0.1 seconds off quarter mile time with every 100Ibs you drop.
Another light weight part replacement to get is a Carbon fiber hood. that'll drop 15-20 Ibs I believe, stock hood weighs about 42Ibs? actually you probably lose way more weight than that, lol. I never tried weighing my stock hood but if I remember correctly I needed two people to carry it off (and not just because of awkward shape.) body kits add weight, but look cool. lol. If you wanna spice up your cars look, best way is to get a lip kit.
Another easy weight drop is to remove the fog lights, nobody really needs them. If you thing your headlights arent very bright get the HID kit at Infinite HIDs vender on the this site. good deal for good lights.
Underdrive pulley is pretty good too, definately worth the buy, loses weight and rotational weight.
Removing the passenger seat is another easy weight drop, but you wont be able to carry people around, unless you get racing seats(light weight).
Oh and welcome to the board! lol.

x2 on the underdrive pulley (crank)
When i did my swap and took off the stock crank pulley it was heavy as hell...easily 10-15lbs. i think the new one weighed about 6? Alex01tib did a DIY for the swap and included weights on both the stock and the obx he bought.
I personally have the ARK set but i cant imagine the weight different between obx/ark are that far off....maybe a few grams or so. Plus ARK has a good deal on the 3pc set.
