Really Thanks!

I still build my Tib and my target performance is JS N, If possible, I want to make it at the level of equal or higher.

It is in progress as a long-term project.

 

This is a great build! I've only seen one other K swapped Tiburon, surprisingly in America. Do you have a build thread detailing your swap? I would like to read more about it! VTEC and VVT is really something we needed on the Tiburon platform but they killed the GK too soon before the technology reached the 2.7 Delta/Mu engine.

 

Thank you!

in Korea, There are 3 RD(RD1 just mine) and 2 GK K swapped at same tuning shop.

I try to write build thread as can as possible.

also I feel sad about Tib's gone too😢

 

Looks good! Very clean!

 

Interesting build I love it

Thanks a lot guys.

It was my dream with RD can be NA high rev.

Here's the first one about before build.

I needed several dragon balls for my car. Not seven, but more.

After 3 month, I could collected all dragon balls.

 

Will you just be going all motor?

 

If this Shop did many of those Swaps, did they ever think about making parts for it?
e.g. Motor Mounts, Transmission Adapters etc...

 

Sadly.. no.

The Shop Master's mind is very conservative and closed.

and do not want about mass-producing parts unlike other shops.

As a result, There are only 6 K swapped Hyundai cars in that shop. (3 RDs and 2 GKs and 1 LC)

 

I need a lot of harness and drive shaft, engine mounts and so on..

Me and Shop's Masters goal is can be daily drive, all option can be abled, just like stock motor.

At the end, I can use all of RD's system include A/C.
Because I was sweat master at all season

 

Hi

A turbocharged car can be a daily driver.

Your VTEC swap in the RD is awesome.. I I had a 2000 del Sol that had a nice close ratio 5-speed transmission in it. It was way nicer than the Hyundai transmission.

If you need more power out of a 4-cylinder the most logical way to do it is with a turbo. I don't know what you guys have against turbos there.??

Hey have you ever seen a beta 6-speed transaxle? They were released in Korea only maybe Australia too.

They actually turbo the 4 cylinder a lot in Korea and I mean a lot so I wouldn't say they have anything against it. Since they have some of the highest hp beta engines in the world there. But I think the 6 sooed beta transmission was only in Korea

 

안녕하세요 연인 추워요 . I meant to introduce myself the first time and forgot. My wife is Korean.

 

oh my goodness, don't get me started on six speed transmissions...... I want one so bad. I have talked to my wifes older brother, and asked him to help me find one. he made a phone call or two and just does not get in to it. my car is just an old piece of **** in his opinion, I feel like.

Do you still have that six speed trans?

I could make it fit. I would move the mounts and even the sway bar if needed.

....your car is cool. I'll help you any way that I can.

It's okay about transmission because I use already FD2R 6 speed manual when I swapped this engine.

and still can use RD's aftermarket sway too.

Most people use EF Taxi's 5 speed manual with turbo beta when they need to more than
300ps over beta. (maybe you know, genuine RD's or GK's transmission gears are more easier to broken at 200kph over high speed than EF Taxi's gears.)

Now I don't care about beta's 6 speed..

But I need to spare about FD2R's transmission🤣

Thanks!

 

So, I received the first photo from shop is this one..

Not really have many photo to me about engine & transmission mount.

You know that?

I receive this photo's only 2hrs after leaving the car in the shop😂

 

Long time no see. OK Let's go

There are two fans behind the RD's stock radiator, LH side fan tickle the Intake manifold nose.

That is why, Radiator was changed.

and set the balance shaft

Finally driveshafts has been installed.

 

Let's check the exhaust and change lever
K20A exhaust section is reverse of beta engine.
and We need shorter downpipe to install.

and set the K20A cat, It need lambda sensor.
But stock o2-lambda lines are short, We need extension cable too.

Pretty Nice

 

Looks good!

 

Thanks a lot!

That was nearly hard to find my photo and check the memory because it finished Oct. 2020.

 

한국에서 이런 프로젝트를?? 멋지네요! 박수와 응원 보냅니다!

 

감사합니다! 현재 모종의 분쟁사유가 생겨 차량의 운행은 잠시 중단 중이기는 하나, 나름 매끄럽게 작업되어 잘 운용해오고 있습니다.

 

OK Let's go

Need to little bit modify the power steering reservoir tank line,

and change the fuel system to returnless from return.

Then let's go to check the coolant line before fire up the motor!

to engine and throttle body from radiator.

Use the tib's brake vaccum line. not really need for change other one.
