|  Attractive 2.0l turbocharged GK Tiburon
I know a lot of people here have a pretty strong bias against anything that isn't considered "cool," but I still think this is a pretty neat little project. And since it's the lighter 2.0l motor, rather than the bulk and inefficient V6, the car doesn't suffer from quite as much death-inducing understeer as it might otherwise.
Keep in mind, Hyundai's 2.0l Beta-series engines were effectively built by robbing Mitsubishi's 4G63 parts bin.
From the owner: "Since people think more whp is the better, I wanted to go with something that makes a lot of power while still reliable. So I went with Garrett GT3071 turbo which is known for fast spool up time. We all custom fabricated turbo manifold to roll cages except for few things that were needed from outside of Korea such as turbo, injectors, and waste gate. Believe or not, all the fabrication was done by 1 person in 2 weeks. After break-in period of new hardware, it took out 401.98whp@ wheels. Few weeks after, it took out 432.43 whp after removing the race cat."
