I'm Mauricio from Costa Rica, my ride is a Tiburon 97 Turbo.

Engine bay


This is the new dyno sheet...


The clutch was dying after 5.000rpm...

Looks great, man! Welcome to the site. laugh.gif
Have you done any exterior mods, or just performance? Did you do the work yourself?

The car has 17's rims, stereo, tinted windows, racing seats, just the basics... I prefer the performance thou...

I knew about the site before but "REDZMAN" invited me to join the party!!!

 

hey man, do you have more pics of your car? like of the hood and such, i wanna see what it looks like..

any specific reason you went with a top mounted turbo?

sorry i didnt say welcome before, but WELCOME to the BEST tiburon forums on the net.. you will find out everything you need to know about tibs, and more than you need to know about some of the members..

enjoy your stay..

 

Right now I just have this one, but the hood is going to be all fiber glass with a different design cause is too heavy... A top mounted tubo is very easy to work with...

 

wow, that actually looks pretty damn mean.. i kinda like it.. i thought about running top mount turbo, but i couldn't sacrifice my vented CF hood.

i wanna hear more about your setup man.. great job.

 

Nice tib!,I can't rember seeing any top mounts in one before fing02.gif
