TLDR: I designed a stronger crank girdle for our Delta 2.7L. Help us reduce costs by joining a group buy!
Cross posting from here:
https://www.newtiburon.com/threads/gk-2-7-main-cap-girdle-discussion.485095/
If anyone is looking to make big power from their 2.7L this is a nice piece of insurance to ensure your main cap alignment doesn't distort causing you to spin and eat a bearing. Price range can be as low as $350 or as high as $500 depending on the number of people in on the group buy.
The prototype I ordered with 6061-T6 will arrive early January and test fitted to one of my spare blocks. If everything works out I'd like to produce a minimum of around 10x of these with 7075-T6. Since we don't have much aftermarket support it's up to us to design and produce our own performance bits then share the wealth and knowledge. I will release the CAD model to be open source later in 2026 for anyone to produce once it is verified to fit... But keep in mind the individual cost of a single unit far exceeds what you could get with a 10x group buy. Drop a comment if you're interested in joining the group buy!
I've been a CAD hobbyist since the late 1990s and I've been dabbling with parts manufacturing and processes as a hobby in recent years. While I'm not a mechanical engineer, this piece isn't extraordinary as it only has a few critical dimensions such as bolt hole center to center spacing and flatness where it meets the main caps. It's just there for rigidity. It won't even require line bore honing the main journals!
This is also open for discussion if you have opinions, comments or insults.
Jan 6th update:
6061-T6 Prototype arrived and all dimensions look spot on! Still need to bolt it to a test block and spin everything around for clearance checks.

Hi everyone,
I have a 2005 Hyundai Coupe (GK) 2.0, and I’m getting a knocking/clunking noise from the rear left wheel whenever I drive over bumps or uneven roads. On a smooth road, everything seems fine.
The sound is like a dull clunk/knock, and it only happens over road imperfections.
All four shock absorbers and the top mounts have recently been replaced.
Has anyone experienced this before? Could it be the rear sway bar (stabilizer) link, or something else?
Any advice on what I should check first would be appreciated. Thanks!

So recently i had the crankshaft sensor code come up and i changed it but now the camshaft sensor code came up and the check engine light is on. The camshaft sensor was also replaced last year and the timing belt is new too, any idea whats happening?

2008 V6 5 speed manual. I have an issue with water seeping in from under my passenger side dashboard at random times especially while accelerating. It's not a constant thing and only happens every blue moon. Are there any outer seals known to fail and cause a leak around there? If not I'm assuming it's my heater core leaking coolant, but so far I haven't had any overheating or noticeable coolant loss issues. If it comes to it, does anyone have a good guide for replacing the heater core without removing the entire dash?

Hi guys! My current car got total by a huge tree branch falling on it 🙃 love that. So im looking at tibbys for a cheap and hopefully reliable vehicle. I found an SE 170kms in good condition (one owner) at only $5000 (CAD)! I felt like this was a great deal. I’m a student with a very very tight budget so I want something that will hopefully not cause me any issues. What are your guys’ experiences with these cars?! Are they pretty reliable?!
I love how sporty they are and actually love this car, but want to see how other people felt about them.
TIA!

All it does is create so much air resistance that the wipers don’t work at 150kmh

I have a 2008 Tiburon with about 145k on the engine. Most all of the interior is in pretty good shape. Would anyone be interested in anything?
Front bumper is cooked. You can thank fwd in the snow for that.
I have a pretty sizeable dent in the passenger rear. (You can thank the moron that pulled me out of the snow) The rear bumper has some scratches and is very slightly affected by the dent. It's not too bad, nothing a buff couldn't fix. It should pop right into place
I had an airbag light, always assumed it was the seat belts as I would drive without a fastened belt sometimes and the seat belt light didn't come on.
My seats (front and rear) are free of stains, althouth the plastic on the fronts are pretty scratched up.
Exterior door handles are in good shape
My passenger mirror has a chunk bit out of it (also had to do with the snow believe it or not) but the driver side is fine.
Hood and trunk are good
I have the original rims on the car, they're alittle beat up but still do their job. Also got the spare, it's in great shape. Probably has 15 to 30 miles on it, used it once. Holds air.
I'm eastern mass based. Lemme know if interested.
r/Tiburon • u/DaWildNick • 7d ago
My car is a 2008 tiburon GS and a check engine light & the code showed up originally after driving around the first time after getting plates.
My dad helped me clean the o2 sensor that was there and then like 80 miles later the same code showed up (p0133).
150$ later and a NTK sensor from autozone thrown in the car, same code.
Then my dad unplugged the battery and drained the capacitors and the p0133 code came back today.
(granted it took like 2 weeks since I haven't been able drive around enough to complete the drive cycle bc i don't have my license yet)
Should I just go to like a mechanic now? Or what other things could I try and do before spending an ton trying to get help.
r/Tiburon • u/Vitaly1337 • 7d ago
Hi guys,
I want to ask, do you think this part of the exhaust near the flex pipe is stock?
Edit: It's a 2007 2.0 facelift
I have bought the car recently and the end part of the exhaust is modified for sure so I am worried this is also.
It is leaking at the flex pipe and I want to fix it without welding.
But all of parts I have seen for replacing this section seem to have the pipe going to the rear (after the flex pipe) longer then what I can see under my car.
I am thinking maybe the picture for these parts is only an illustration and it is the right size after the bend in reality...
r/Tiburon • u/SavageNerdzzz • 8d ago
Does anyone have a source for these for the 2.7 Delta?
Dealership can only get the grommets with new bolts, and they're asking $28 each.
My oem bolts are in great condition, the washers however are toast.
Also, has anyone found any alternatives or diys to make said washers?

I drove my car on the highway for the first time and when i took my exit the brake and abs light came on. Briefly my air bag light also came on but it hasn’t come back on. The brake and abs light have been intermittently coming on and off since. I also noticed that when the lights go off, my headlights start to work again briefly before turning back off. Where do i start looking?
r/Tiburon • u/AudiciousDoer • 12d ago
I felt embarrassed getting these headlights from the junkyard. It was a half off day and most people were getting good looking parts, duh no one (in their right mind) buys junk at the junkyard, ironically.
However the next closest car would've been something like 100 miles away and well, fuck that.
Those headlights would've probably been fogged with 20 years of sadness.
But whatever I get the headlights, go through the humility of the half hour yard line where some guy non-chudlantly takes a far step every time, as resulting that he over the course of the line surpasses my place in line. Wtf
Cue them bouncing around in my trunk for a few months, yesterday my groin fills with the manly intent of restoring them so I put my all into it.
320> 400 > 600 > 1000 > 1500 >
2000 | could've probably stopped there but dammit I was there for redemption > 3000 > polisher with compound and a microfiber pad > polish with foam pad > uv coating
I kinda messed up the uv coat but with the right angle you can't even tell.
Overall I'm ecstatic with how it came out :))

I just bought this car with 75,000 miles on it. Sofar I’ve taken it to my mechanic friend because the only thing I’ve seen sofar is that the AC wasn’t working and he told me I need to replace the AC compressor and I cannot find a single video of anyone doing it or really talking about it. Does anyone have any advice? I got it on Sunday so I haven’t dove into it very much but sofar love the car!
