If you want to build your own turbo kit, then see this thread for reference: http://www.rdtiburon.com/index.php?showtopic=18676

The book, Maximum Boost, is also in that thread as a requirment.

You can get around 280whp safely on stock internals. A good tune is the key.

 

I agree with jaws, if you dont know what your doing now, your in no shape to do it at this time, but if your dead set on it you really should learn everything about a turbo system in addition to reading max boost, and talk to as many people who have turboed their car themselves (not someone who had a shop do it), and if you can take a look at somebodys car whos done it and ask them any questions you may have, do all that before you think about messing with it to know what your in for.

remember, its not like a CAI or exhaust, after you get the turbo on, your work isnt done, really, its never done, but its the price you pay for the power

 

IHI's also came on certain year thundrbird turbo coupes, ford probe's, mazda mx6's, 626's, 323's, suburu legacy's and much more.

the IHI turbo found on the probe/mazda's are a RHB5 VJ-11, and are one of the quickest spoolin turbos to ever be made on a factory car. hence why they hit there full TQ # of 190 at only 2300 RPM.

 

So whp means wheel horse power no? ok, so why when in france a member of our forum dyno his V6 167hp at wheels? shrug.gif
I don't say you're wrong, because you know surely it better than me, but I saw the dyno graph... I know there is a difference between wheel hp and crankshaft.

On your opinions, you advice me not to put a turbo, and make only a N/A. Well, if I could have 180 french hp (lol) i'll be glad.

Thank you

 

I have ask around for this IHI turbo here in Croatia and did not manage to find one at this price. Could you be able to get it for me at this pricing there in Korea? I would be very grateful wink1.gif



Which upgrades to the engine would be necessary to get 155 WHP on an N/A engine?

 

If his V6 dyoed 167 to the wheels, then he has around 190 to the crank. Which he either got through modifications (most V6s dyno 165-175 with I/H/E) or a factory beast, which is unlikely cause Hyundai overrates the power on their cars it seems.

^^ As for the post above me, 155whp N/A would require pretty much every bolt-on and probably camshafts.

 

Boosting alltogether seems to be a better way to go then smile.gif

 

/\ But then again that in itself will introduce it's own issues, and you have to really weight the options. The maintenance that is required with a Turbo is a lot greater than that of a N/A car.

 

Yeah I know all about maintaing the turbo. LEarned my lessons. At the moment I am just weighing financial implications on boosting upgrade or going the N/A path since I have already done some engine upgrades (head porting and polishing). Main problem is that I have already raised compression from stock to a different level (haven't measured it yet, will do soon) and I think that in the end this will be the factor which will decide where to go now. wink1.gif
