Hi, my name is Noel.

I'm from Elkhart, Indiana.

I drive a 99 Hyundai Tiburon and a 99 Swift

I found these forums through teamswift.net



It's good to meet you all and I hope to learn more about geo/suzuki cars. :thumb

here are some pictures of my other car and former car.

i have been into car tuning and drag racing since the mid 90's. i love turbo cars and rotary engines :rocker

here are a couple pics of my tiburon when it was boosted.. now is back to stock since my plans are to rebuild the swift and boost it and need a car i can rely. :hmm

i did all the R&D and pretty much everything else from mechanical to electrical componest(piggyback) to tuning. the exhaust manifold, turbo and downpipe are from a Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution 8 and i retrofitted it to fit my Hyundai Tiburon.

this is my old car.. 95 Mercedes Benz C220. I loved that car but it was seriously under powered and got tired of it. it was surprisingly easy to fix and the parts were about the same as other cars.

never had the time to dyno it. but i ran 14.1 @99mph at the 1/4 mile at 9 psi. i upped the boost to 15 psi and it felt WAY faster... BUT i had no traction, i could brake the tires loose in 4th gear. at the drag stip with more boost it ment worst ET's with higher trap speeds. with slicks and at least a phantom grip i could easily run high 12's.

you can see in the video that on the takeoff im behind and thats because i had to either burn the clutch of i would get mad wheel hop.
