hey. I just baught a 2005 tiburon yesterday off the lot. it is a beautiful car. I am planning on putting some money into the engine now. I am not sure if i want to put a turbo/supercharger on it, but i do want to put a few bolt on parts on. For me money is not a factor at all. So I am just wondering the best things to do to the engine. I got the 2.7L V6 6 speed manual. Also another thing was, will parts for the 2003-2004 2.7L speed fit my car?? or has anything really changed in the engine bay? I know that there are a few differences onthe exterior but i am not sure if there are any differences with the engines. I am looking for FAST and reliable. So that is why i was sorta not looking at forced induction. but is forced induction the way to go?? Anyways thanks for any advice.

yep forced is the way to go.

best thing to do for now is to build your suspension.

and get a upgraded high hp clutch. should be a turbo kit released in the near future.

also if your planning for it you can do things like

spark plugs, plug wires, motor mounts, ported lower intake manifold, big bore throttle body. I'd wait on the ported upper for just now. get the clutch in. get the suspension done and by the time your done with all this you should be able to buy urself a turbo.

I live in Canada. Things are different up here. Like for 05 in canada they changed it from GT (which they called the 6 speed V6 in Canada) to calling it the Tuscani. The engine bay is the same. they just changed a few cosmetic things as far as i am aware of. I just want about 200 wheel hp as as reliable and cheap as possible. any tips?

stage 1 alpine supercharger will get you 200whp.

to do it N/A is extremely painful and time consuming.

you need brakes too hehe...get the wilwood in teh sponsors gorup buy section! you should consider just eh alpine stage 1, an intake and exhaust, possibly headers, suspension and wheels. that should make u happy for a while
