With a fifth injector how could the flow be regulated where the fuel enters all the cylinders evenly concidering its usually placed near the Throttle body?
What type of material is the manifold made of (stainless grade 304)?

Their Turbo manifold is made from Mild steel!

A "good" intake manifold design will give even distribution of fuel to all cylinders. A "bad" design will be uneven, where individual cylinder fuel injectors are superior.
Our kit utilizes the factory intake manifold (which for the most part, is a "good" design).
Our turbo exhaust manifold is made from an alloyed heat resisting cast iron, and includes a stainless steel heat shield.
As far as what material is more heat resistance?
on the bottom of the scale there is mild steel, then stainless steel, then an alloyed heat resistance cast iron, and finally "Inconel", the stuff used in making jet and rocket engines!

The new 2003 Tiburon/Elantra aqua-cooled turbo kit 1st version will be for "race & off road use only", becuase the down pipe eliminates the first "cat". A 2nd version is being examined using the existing exhaust manifold/1st cat (one piece), bolting on an "up" pipe where the turbo could be installed, routing through the aqua-cooler plumbing from the 1st kit. Keeping the factory "cat" in place (part of the factory exhaust manifold) is the ONLY way CARB certification can be acheived.

So do you use ductile iron? but i do hope its not mild steel for even though to the company it is inexpensive its poorest characteristic is corrosion resistance.

Ballrub!
I recall speaking with John about a few months ago and he has told me that the exhaust manifold is made from Mild steel.Im not sure ifteh Tiburon turbo kits are NOW offered with cast iron because i have my kit since last year.
Im may be wrong but can you double check to see what the exhaust manifold is actually made of?
Thanks! smile.gif smile.gif

Again, (contrary to what you might have thought you have been told, and to clear up once and for all), our cast turbo exhaust manifolds have always been made of an alloyed iron, high in silicate and nickle (like stainless steel), which is not pourous, and giving it high resistance to heat and corrision.

I have a couple more questions
1)Does the turbo kit provide a margin of safety of detonation?
2)What are some of the devices for maintaining a Correct air/fuel ratio meaning not to rich or lean?
3)Does your kit ever suffer from compressor surges? Or what do you have to have that countered?
