props to you for trying to do somthing diffrent but i mean really.... 16 PSI and only 275 to the wheels sounds like a lost cause. numbers are not high enough to justify spending that type of money IMO

why would you want to run 20 psi daily? that seems a little excessive. if you need that to make only 290 hp than i would build my motor if i were you, or buy another car.

Yeah I heard that I can swap it in there, but I read from other hyundai forums my stock tranny can hold you to at least 300 WHP. and i found ARP head studs for my car so im good to go there.... so if i think i'm going be able to make 280WHP with 17 PSI... it's not an unrealistic goal

if it takes 17 psi to reach 280 whp, you got a problem. just my 2 cents worth.

Well, if you're looking to drop a ton of money into your current engine and only get x amount of hp and have questionable reliability with it, I just think it would be a wiser decision to boost a more capable engine. From what i know, the 4g63 internals can be boosted a lot before stuff starts to break.

Just my two pennies.

Are you familiar 2 boosting ? if not i suggest reading up on boosting cars and all. Most likely as mentioned before tiburon forums will help. How much are you going to dump in this ? why do you want to do with this car ? is it your DD ? or project car. Take it in consideration if your going to max it out it will die soon.
