I doubt very seriously that you're putting down 480 hp with just a turbo out of the four cylinder. That would be like quadripling the horsepower for one of those cars. Espicially a turbo kit that you made yourself. If I lived in texas I would pm you just see this 480 beast of a 4 cylinder. I would then race you and just to see how much crap you talk. All I have to say that if it is putting out 480 horsepower without any other mods that I give that motor about another week to live.
As for torque......I'll stick to my "twice your torque" statement.
What's with the "especially if you build it yourself" statement? So you're saying that a prebuilt kit is better than anything an intelligent tuner can put together?
We have one kit available, and it only gives another 80hp. I had no choice but to build my own.
Sorry you can't come down here so I can prove you wrong.

I had the 06 si before the s2000 which is a little faster than an RSX-S and I smoked tibrons all the time. I always thought they were slow.. I have no idea how one could pull on a S unless it was FI and even then.

I saw your deleted post about me "jerking myself off." It's cool though, cause here's your proof.

I saw the vid, nice looking car. It's one thing to claim to your car puts down over three hundred hp and show a vid on the dyno, it's another to actually show the dyno sheet. Post that and then I'll give you props for having a 300 hp tiburon. If it really is over 300hp though I really wouldn't give the motor very long to live, espicially on stock internals, because hyundai's are known for lots of things, reliability is not one of them.

And where did you recieve this info about unreliability?
Anyone who claims that, are still referring to the Mitsu made motors of the 80's - early 90's. There's a reason why they have a 10yr warranty now. If they blew up all the time, then wouldn't you think Hyundai would have gone bankrupt by now in warranty repairs?
I've been racing it every day now for the past 5 weeks at this power. I'm gonna call it reliable regardless what you wanna call it.
