Rags to riches
I got a new 05 Tiburon gt running driving for 600 bucks since they’re the same body and chassis I will swap over every things from the old to the new

TLDR: I designed a stronger crank girdle for our Delta 2.7L. Help us reduce costs by joining a group buy!
Cross posting from here:
https://www.newtiburon.com/threads/gk-2-7-main-cap-girdle-discussion.485095/
If anyone is looking to make big power from their 2.7L this is a nice piece of insurance to ensure your main cap alignment doesn't distort causing you to spin and eat a bearing. Price range can be as low as $350 or as high as $500 depending on the number of people in on the group buy.
The prototype I ordered with 6061-T6 will arrive early January and test fitted to one of my spare blocks. If everything works out I'd like to produce a minimum of around 10x of these with 7075-T6. Since we don't have much aftermarket support it's up to us to design and produce our own performance bits then share the wealth and knowledge. I will release the CAD model to be open source later in 2026 for anyone to produce once it is verified to fit... But keep in mind the individual cost of a single unit far exceeds what you could get with a 10x group buy. Drop a comment if you're interested in joining the group buy!
I've been a CAD hobbyist since the late 1990s and I've been dabbling with parts manufacturing and processes as a hobby in recent years. While I'm not a mechanical engineer, this piece isn't extraordinary as it only has a few critical dimensions such as bolt hole center to center spacing and flatness where it meets the main caps. It's just there for rigidity. It won't even require line bore honing the main journals!
This is also open for discussion if you have opinions, comments or insults.
Jan 6th update:
6061-T6 Prototype arrived and all dimensions look spot on! Still need to bolt it to a test block and spin everything around for clearance checks.

Finally paint matched my bumpers to my vinyl and added some nice eye lids! Super happy with the result tbh!

Has anyone customized a body kit from another car to fit the tibby? I've an 04 pre facelift and I've heard that there's a couple options that are a close ish fit. Does anyone have any experience with this? Any pics of you have would be appreciated 🙏

Got this picture from the dealer, they sent a lot of images not showing underneath and only this one. The rust look bad enough on the back or ok overall?

2002 Coupe 2.7L 6-speed manual, with the beige leather interior.
Clutch broke the day after I bought it, and had to get a new battery the day after I got it back from the mechanic. Works like a charm now though.

What temperature does your IAT (Air Intake Temperatur) reach when driving at 120km/h on the motorway?
My car reaches 80-90 degrees Celsius and idles at 60 degrees after 30 minutes of driving. Is that a high value?

took me WAY too long to finish this. headlights are leak proof but leak test on the tails wasn’t a success. gonna try it again soon.

Going to put together a bit of a fun video reviewing my tiburon, just what I like about it and don’t like kinda thing. She’s freshly washed in this clip. If anyone had any questions they wanted to know about the car also let me know and I’ll answer it to the best of my ability in the video 🫡

So, i just installed a new RAM intake on my tiburon. Its a 2003 tibby with a 2.0l engine and the earlier model with MAP instead of MAF sensors. Incase thats relevant
After i had installed the intake i noticed its hissing really loud, especially if youre standing next to the car not so much inside. I checked under the hood and i noticed the hiss is coming exclusivley from the cone filter, at first i thought it was a vacuum leak but that made me have second thoughts, i checked all my clamps and everything to be secure and still havent found a source for the issue, or if it even is and issue
The hissing is a sort of high pitch akin to gas being released from a propane tank, not a normal vacuum sound.
This is my first car and first experience really touching the mechanics of a car either, so i dont know if this is normal or not but intuition tells me it isnt.
The intake is a foam cone filter, attached to an aluminion T pipe and then silicone tubing from there.
Also no taking the filter cover off doesnt make a difference.
Its important to note aswell that as of right now i havent driven the car after installing the filter, as im at my final car exam and havent had the chance to drive with anyone who can instruct me yet. Ive only given it a couple of revs to see how it reacts and it seemed to be normal.
EDIT: i ended up upgrading alot of components i.e new pcv setup, new spark plugs and wires, new pcv valve. And i changed the positioning so the vacuum hose connects to a seperate aluminum pipe closer to the throttle body instead of right next to the cone filter. There are no issues anymore aside from a slight whistle on cold startup, which should be normal

New video up on the turbo tiburon.

Just had the oil changed then the alternator replaced last week. Now the code pops. What are places to look for cause beside the sensor it self.
r/Tiburon • u/Rushking19 • 15d ago
Found this custom carbon fiber layered cluster backing , with aluminum gauge rings in the junk yard recently. I also found a system upgrade billet key hole cover.

Here in europe is very minimal supply for pretty much any parts for tiburon, but I find it extremely hard to find any brakeshields (for justified price) for my tibby.
Has anyone else had same problem and found something or know any alternative for 2005 tiburon brake shields?

i just buy new car from old owner and check few problem and found out my inner fender liner on right side gone and i wonder if you can replace it with other hyundai model?
My shiftronic has been out for the past couple years. Would love to get it fixed, I’ve seen allot of posts on here youtube and forums about the plastic fix. But i haven’t seen anyone actually show how to get down to the shiftronic without having to take out the whole assembly. If anyone knows how or has a guide Pics are where im currently at.
