Twin Engine Tiburon
I would love to do this...I would need a rough estimate of cost (I'm guessing around 10Gs) and also how this would be done, I have a 2001 Hyundai Tib, Automatic...also after this is done, would it be possible to do things to both engines (turbochargers on both, 2 quad throttle bodies, etc.)?

I talked to McIntyre and they said that the entire swap and setup that they had cost just over $90,000. Although they made that money up at the street races within a couple of months. Good Luck!

remember both engines were streamlined, turbo'ed and running nitromethane already plus god-knows-what to push 630whp. if your looking just put two N/A engines in your car, your looking at serious body work in the rear.

yo mang,if i were you i would just put a turbo on your 2.0L,get a upgraded torque convertor from level 10 and you should have more than enough power in you car.trust me if you get over 200 hp to the wheels it is more than enough,why go crazy overboard wink

90k my ass, they just said that so they dont have competition and make themselves look good.
Figure in the cost of an automatic tranny and engine, and to turbo charge both. I am thinking around 12k 20k at the most.
I would do it, if it was road legal, but its not.
You realize you can get away with alot more in texas and in El Paso were they are then you can in most other states.
Lost of back roads and open land to race on smile.gif
Is it street drivable? no... pushiong 630whp was proabbly easy, remember not 630whp per engine but between 2 engines. thats roughly 315hp.
Just take the setup of any Turbo install to one engine and double it, then throw in the cost of cutting out the trunk for the engine.
90k my ass.
20k i'd say, and maybe if ya got it done in some expensive town maybe 30k
easy 5k to turbo charge each car, then cost of putting in the rear engine.
That car was drag mainly, I am sure it cant handle high speed turns.

Nope. The TE Tiburon NEVER squealed a tire, even on the dragstrip challenge. On the road course, McIntyre didn't attempt to gain points, admitting that it was in fact a straight track exclusive car. But I'd put my money in betting that it handles far better than any of our Tiburons simply for the fact that it's AWD. You can't get that kind of handling in a FWD car.

yeah.. its a rocket going straight
HOWEVER!
that tiburon is lacking an AWD management system that makes most TRUE AWD cars handle well while turning. This tib has totally INDEPENDENT front and rear drivetrains, probably with open differentials, where cars like the Nissan Skyline, Mitsu Evo 1-7 and all Subarus to name a few have some sort of driveshaft that connects the front and rear axels and can deliver power to any tire. If the tib has open diff.s, it will only pull 1 tire as soon as it losses grip which makes things worse since the front and rear aren't even working together. So eventhough it will out run our tibs in a straight...he's going to have to pull himself out of the ditch in corner while we gracefully glide our tibbies to victory. well, something like that...
