Powering 3000rms in a tiburon

[DylanBeatz 10+ year member]

Btw, it looks like your stock battery is probably a group 124R.
You might be able to cram in a larger one, though, if Hyundai mounted it in your Tiburon similarly to how they did in my car. I'd be glad to elaborate if you'd like.

Awesome man I appreciate it! If I cant fit a bigger one, would there be any point in upgrading to a different 124r?

Also is generally the lower the group number does that also mean bigger the size or no?

Probably, if you can find an AGM 124R.

What I had to do was measure the LxWxH of my stock battery, test the max additional height with hood still closing by placing blocks of wood on top of my stock battery until it wouldn't close. Add that to my stock battery height and account for terminals.

Then I looked at how my stock electrical was connected. I determined that the negative could extend to reach a taller battery, but the positive couldn't.

So, I connected the stock positive ring to some 4 awg via a crimped lug and a small brass nut and bolt. Wrapped the annoying stock plastic cover in electrical tape with the new 4 awg coming out.

Then I took out the stock bracket that held the battery in, and held the new one down with a rubber tie down strap. Solid as hell.

You can see the black plastic stock terminal cover just to the left of the battery.

Just so you know, that'll be a bitch to change the alternator in. A friend of mine had a Tiburon and the alternator was on the side of the engine in the middle of some stuff

Some stuff? just random stuff you don't need huh? Lol I got a good laugh out of this one..

Running 3000rms you would be fine with 240alt 1 g34 and 1 g31 in the rear.

I couldn't remember which pumps it was between. AC, water, power steering, ect

Basically it the location of it ***** balls. I looked at the alt on my old gf because I was thinking about buying it. The alt was a deal breaker.

Anybody replaced the alt in a Tiburon before? I'm wondering where to buy one, seems like high output alternators are hard to find for Tiburon's.

2.0 is a breeze from my understanding its the same as in my Elantra. You literally just remove the oil filter and remove it from the bottom. DC Power and Singer both make one, but I'd swing with Singer because he has more options. I currently went with the 240amp so I can charge at idle, but I believe he offers a 300 and 320amp as well. The V6 was the one that was kind of sketchy IIRC.

Holy motherfucking ****, lol



I requested a quote from singer, hopefully it's a lot cheaper

Good alternators are not cheap

I got sticker shock too looking to replace my stock 160 amp with a HO

My Singer 370 was $900 after the new regulator //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif
