Fuck it. I hope we did. There’s nothing more annoying than watching someone blab all these grandiose ideas about turbochargers as the holy grail of their car’s mod list, only to get stuck with the reality of thousands lost, a car unavailable or stuck in a shop, goals never met and broken parts laying around. Not saying the OP is doing that, but it’s a real short path to end up there, as I’ve seen. I still think a mildly modded N/A tiburon with a serious wheel/tire package and good suspension would be a load of fun. Knock some weight off first, though. 3100lbs is way too much for a FWD car on an open differential. I’d find ways to bring that down a bit and make the car turn and stop properly before I worried about more power. You’ll have a ton more fun making it rotate than watching the front wheels go up in smoke. ---

i agree with that. power is nothing without the means to control it. i’m all for handling over power. if the car handles, stops, and turns like it should, it’ll be more controllable/ predictable without getting all squirrelly. ---

Beautiful…Thanks for backing me up! “The carmaker will select the right temperature plug for each car. Some cars with **high-performance engines naturally generate more heat, so they need colder plugs.** If the spark plug gets too hot, it could ignite the fuel before the spark fires; so it is important to stick with the right type of plug for your car.” My point exactly. Turbocharged/supercharged Engines create alot more heat then your regular N/A engine, HENCE going to a colder plug will take away early detonation/NR…the BR7EF is a Cold plug that ALOT of guys use on their F/I cars. ---

Some cars may need two steps colder or more. Some may do just fine with stock heat range. The key is to tailor the plugs to the engine’s condition, which varies with power output, boost pressure, octane, charge temperature, heat transfer capacity… there are a lot of factors. ---
