I have bought a 2000 4-cyl Tiburon. It was a little boosted already before I got it. The previous owner took out the air filter and replaced it with a cool air intake(Matrix brand filter). I'm not sure about the exsaust, but I know that it is some sort of direct line from the engine. I have a few questions though. Does anyone have an idea how much torque and hp this car should be pulling. I know stock the specs say 140hp for the 4-cyl 2.0 engine, but with these mods, I have no idea. Also, I have been told that without the stock airfilter/box, the check engine light is on. Is that possible that the sensors are messed up due to the special intake???

Welcome to the board, I'll see if I can find the specs for you.

If the motor is the same as the 2006, here is the info:


Type Inline 4-cylinder V6 V6
Displacement (liters) 2.0 2.7 2.7
Horsepower @ rpm 138@6000
Torque 136@4500

Welcome to C-F. Hope you enjoy your Tib!

well the cell from the mass air flow sensor, could be not sending the cell (if its a real cold air or short ram)... the cell isnt being sent, so the engine says check engine light.... also, the engine may have a problem, so i would take it to your local hyundai dealer and check the engine... GOOD LUCK

Yeah, the intake is a short line connected straight to the filter, no manufacturer box. As far as I can tell, the engine doesn't have any problems. The specs I have seen for my engine are the same as the 06 specs for the 2.0 liter engine, but I was curious as to how much boost would this intake possibly give with the exsaust as explained above. I don't know what kind of either thing they are though, so I know it would be hard to guess. Also, thanks for the welcome to the forums.

with an intake and exhaust your looking at a max of 7-10hp.

and that's pushing it, I honestly wouldn't see you gaining too much on a small displacement naturally aspirated car

basically next to nothing in horsepower gains.

That's what I thought. I wasn't too sure.

When I get some money, I want to put one of the new V-6 engines that Hyundai has now, that they are putting into the sonata with about 240hp, then put a turbo on it.
