I heard there is some modifications that need to be made if you want to install the turbo kit on a second gen Tib. Is this true?

Random,
Could these be applicable/customed to any ride...with the right ingenuity?
This would so complete my ride and until I paint it

Using the conversion on Alpines website the numbers are as follows.

HP==225.2
Tourqe==221.3

These numbers are for a stock car with no other mods.

Pretty impressive I think.

Some answers:

1. Yes the numbers are aprox. 225HP at 10 lbs of boost but you can go higher 14-16 which will generated a lot larger numbers.

2. Yes, you need to mod a little the kit for 2k tibs. Nothing complicated. The piping you need to fit and change some angles but simple. Now my ride is MAP based but this kit is based on the regular injection setup and has a fifth injector controlled by an independent fueler box which provides extra fuel when the stock system is not enough. The fueler box is mapped by intake pressure and rpm so has nothing to do with MAP or MAF, this is an independent enjection so I think it should work fine. You can contact Gavin O´Leary at Apline so you clear this issue but I 99% it works the same.

3. No you cannot apply this to any engine, the size of the turbo is related to the flow the engine displces. So with a 1.6 engine the kit will not behave the same plus the exhaust and intake manifolds nor the new head gasket to reduce compression ratio will fit.

4. My ride is now running at 9lbs, tommorrow I am connecting the HKS EVC to manipulate the wastegate from the cockpit increasing or decreasing the boost.

5. About pictures I dont know if Random still have some of my ride pictures I sent him. Randon why dont you post some, if you do not have them let me know so I can send you new ones.

Regards, Mario

my question is that if this system fits on a 1.8 tib (if it is for one?), will it fit on a 1.8 Elantra??

What was the total cost installed? Did you go turbo or Super charger? This really interests me. If the pics don't get posted could you email them to me.
Thanks again Erik
