Hi all I just got my tiburon its a 97 fx dark pine green. I had a turboed honda civic before so now I will be turboing the tiburon the high compression ratio seems to me my only real concern. I think I will be using water injection anyway so I am not worried about it that much but I think the tiburon is a good platform and after seeing a friends DOHC kia whip up on acura's I am excited about the tiburon.

Welcome bro, I'm assuming you just moved there? Military?

Also, the compression ratio hasn't been a big deal. There are plenty of pistons avaialble to get your ratio to what you want it to be at, and we dont' have many FI folks having that many problems with it.
