http://www.seoulfulracing.com/product/seoulfulturokitstage1.jpg


Finally, seoulfulracing stage I turbo kit is now available.

Our kit is very differ from other kits you've seen.
You probably noticed that we have only included parts made in Korea.
We didn't included other parts such as Walbro 255 fuel pump, plugs heat rance 9, and etc, because you will be able to find same products @ better price wherever you are located. If you do really need some of recommended parts bought from us, please just contact us.

We will be using a surface shipping for this kit due to its size, and it usually takes about 4 weeks to your door.

All the recommended parts need to be bought in order to make over 300whp+ in safe vehicle condition. If you are having trouble locating parts, please contact us as well.

Another $150 will be charged if you don't want to send your ECU back to us (Core charge).

Installation guide is included with this kit.
We do suggest to have a certified machanic or shop to install this kit.

Minus or Plus option can be applied which means you can add or delete any of kit options. Please contace us for quote.

Any questions please pm me.
Thank you

what do you guys think?

[SWortham]

I'd wonder what their ECU is all about.

[eLantrabumb]

yeah sall that talking to kdmguy via pms... trying to get a cast iron manifold instead of stainless steel.

[Vampyrate]

wonder if this is a direct bolt on, or if itneeds to be tuned... and kdmguy if you are reading this... i need a job! ill be willing to do advertising from the US for you if you need me to (serious, not kidding)

[only1db]

i wonder how big the diameter of the piping is...and how that intercooler will fit in there....but hell for the price...its not that bad!!

the ecu is probably programmed specifically for this kit...so any other modifications to it might throw it off and would need to be retuned....but how did they break the "unbreakable" hyundai ECU?

[eLantrabumb]

hmmmmmm. vroooom. too bad its not $2999 then i would buy

[only1db]

hmmmmmm. vroooom. too bad its not $2999 then i would buy

that would be an absolute steal....that probably would it would cost to do it yourself (buying parts)....but not the tuning and everything else that goes into something like this.

[focusXD]

its cause he had to chose such an expensive turbo. the GT28RS by itself is about $1,100. how much for the piping, manifold, ecu, and oil lines for a T3 super 60 turbo? and intake and IC piping? and all the neccesary couplers, hoses and clamps? and exhaust downpipe and diffuser? i don't need the rods and pistons. nor do i need the Intercooler. just tell me the diameter on your ic so i can get the right size outlets.

[only1db]

no intercooler...are you jus going to be running 8 or less psi?? because beyond that you will need an intercooler....and not to mention thats about all the engine can handle with out a head spacer or pistons...

but the fact is that this kit seems very reliable just on the parts used and the fact that he is doing it the right way....not just getting buy....if i had the dough...it would probably be right here on this kit....

[05xd]

Well,I see no MAF sensor upgrade and this boy here ain't gonna cut the manifold to weld a spot for a map sensor.Nice kit but too much money for me,especially after getting the injectors,fuel pump,and all the other goodies that make that kit work.Good luck with the sales though mang

[Vampyrate]

man, i know that this is a little on teh pricier side and for tibs... but a gb to knock some of the price off would be great

[kdmguy]

Hello everyone
I am suprised that many of you are showing so much interest here.
Yes, we can custom make anythings to fit any kind of turbos. We can add or delete any of options and give you guys a new quote.

I would kindly ask you guys to ask questions by using via pms on http://www.seoulfulracing.com, and it would be the fastest way to reach me.

Thank you
KDMguy

[Seinster]

I plan on seeing it in action prior to purchase. :)

[BColeman]

I know this thread is about this turbo kit, but I guess it would be possible to adapt some of what they include into many of our own home made turbo kits.

Does anyone know how hard it would be to put J2 1.8 Pistons in the Beta IIs? Do we need the rods as well? And what about the bore, does it require sleeving, or do they fit as is?

Just curious, cause this sounds like a very good way to achieve higher boost, making more horsepower, without necessarily paying high prices for forged pistons and rods. I know the risk is still present because it's OEM quality parts, but a lower compression piston always means more boost, safely.

[kdmguy]

Like I mentioned above, I would suggest you guys to vist our website if you are so curious about the kit.
There are whole bunch of build up pictures and parts listed, and we have downgrade little bit to suit for 300whp street daily driven car from our project demo car. Our demo car also uses 1.8 1.8 pistons and rods, and all the build up and installation pics are availble on our site.
It's 18pages long, and I can not post them on any other sites due to hosting bandwidth. Why not spend 5minutes?

[robs02elantra]

I am sorry, I may be slowing down in my thinking ability these days. I went to the site and can't seem to find this 18 page build up and installation.

Oh, I just thought, is the build up for your car what you're talking about, and then it's changed somewhat for this kit, or are you talking about a build up for this kit specifically?

I'm having a brainless moment.

The 18 pages is on the build up of his car with many components being the same. Here is the link. You may have to register to view this page if you haven't already done so.

[robs02elantra]

yeah, I've already registered. Just been a tough day at work, so it took a while to find it. Thanks for the link!! Is anyone tempted to get this kit? If I wasn't staring down the barrel of 5 months forced unemployment from immigration stuff, I'd definately start saving for this. By the time I could get it, someone would definately have got it and tried it.

[Micce]

why exactly wont it work on the 05+ elantra's? I'm going to be getting a manual elantra at then end of the year (i know, its hella early to start looking for parts), i just want to determine what the best choice would be.

[htekric3r1200]

Here is why:


F/L 2005+ models (AT models) came with an ECU that previous years of TCU and ECU together.
Even newer models with ECU in Korea can not be turboed yet.
That's why I told everyone not to buy kits from some other sites that don't even warn about this problem. I really wonder if they know what they are doing.
There are no solutionhow to deal with new ECU set up yet even in Korea, but there are many shops including us working to find new solution to this problem.

[robs02elantra]

well, I've put that picture with the price on it from the first post as my new background, so that I can remind myself to keep my spending on a daily basis in line so as to save up for a turbo kit. We'll see how well it goes.

[Vampyrate]

^same here

[Micce]

Here is why:


asefkawejgoijaeoirjgoiajeroifjalksjfdlasjdfkjasdfl j


hopefully its figured out before the end of the year. otherwise, a NEW car is out the window.

[htekric3r1200]

Yeah hopefully it won't take too long to get the wiring in the ecu figured out. I've been looking to get a 05 tib I4 5 speed for the longest time for the sole purpose of boosting it, but it looks as though I am out of luck as well.

[yamaha]

Now, not to pick or prod, but that is a ****load of money for a turbo kit that isnt even complete. Look at all the optional stuff you would still NEED to get this to run:

Fuel Pump
Turbo Timer
Boost Controller
Wastegate(assuming the T28 is externaly gated)
Clutch/Flywheel
Injectors
Gauges

Reguadless this is a 300+whp kit, it is not a complete kit. And for that price, sorry guys, not in my book. KDMguy does help out the Hyundai community, but thats rediculous.

Well. You totally misunderstood.
Why buy those optional things from Korea when those parts are imported from U.S?
For example, Walbro fuel pump is priced at over $300 in Korea.
How much can you get them in U.S? $100 or not even.
You can buy them at almost half prices in U.S compared to Korea.

That's why I didn't include them in our kit to save you guys more $$.
Turbo had to be included due to some modifications to fit our manifold, wastegate and other fittings.

Even if you buy all other optional stuffs, our kit will not be more expensive than any other kits that produce only 280whp and still need other parts such as gauges, cat-backs, controllers, wastegate, and clutches.
And our kit uses a lot better and expensive turbo that makes more whp output, reliable, and fast reaction time.
Do the math. :)

[only1db]

that turbo is badass!! not doubt about that...should be quite fast when spooling as well.

again what this boils down to is another turbo kit from what appears tobe a very reliable source! why are people complaining? more parts the better...no matter how you look at it....

if this is plug and play with the reconfigured ecu...then that itself is worth atleast 800 bucks....

[focusXD]

i think this kit is reliable but i'd rather buy an ecu from kdmguy and build my kit to my liking

[only1db]

ok...you could give him the specs....but it could still be off...

how is that any different from any other kit? This was made for people looking for more than the alpine can provide, and this one can do that.

[only1db]

look at normal kits for hondas...they want 4000 for 8psi!! wtf...this is a steal...i look at it like this....put or shut-up....tuning is expensive...we all know that....thats why there are only like three turbo's xds on this site...out of how many people??? granted the availability is not always there ...but there are three people NOW putting out kits...i'm sure they can do a less expesive set up with a down graded turbo and other things....but for that kit...thats money!

[focusXD]

his old car was a T3 super 60. he has all the data for that turbo.

[Cypher]

yeah. i'd want the ecu. if needed you could always piggyback it for perfect tuning but i think one of his pretuned ecus would serve us good.

[dmdicks]

The main problems I see, besides price, is tuning and product support. People who have tried reflashed ECUs in the US haven't had good luck. Several people on newtib have blown their engines using a reflashed ECU that was supposed to support up to 280WHP.
This goes along with the support problem. What if after you install the kit and the required additional items and something isn't right with the ECU. That's right, you have to ship it to Korea for diagnostics. Also, what about general tech support? Is there a number you can call when you have install issues?
Personally I would only trust a reflashed ECU if it was dynotuned on my car with my mods. History has shown that generic flashes don't tend to be the best solution.

[03SilverBullet]

If it was a grand cheaper I would save up for it.

[Estopatitiana]

well, im just happy that there are any kits for our cars...being that they are hyundais

[only1db]

is a remapped or a total reprogrammed ecu?? because i'm thinking that its reprogrammed and inwhich case those issues would not come up

[swifty]

I wonder what rod bearings will fit?

[panter]

bearing should be stock as the neck is the same on 1.8 or 2.0

kdmguy knows his stuff and im going to get ecu from him! (i already have all the other stuff )
id like to see other guys here do 400whp with stock internals and original ecu :)

[swifty]

bearing should be stock as the neck is the same on 1.8 or 2.0
:)
I looked up rod bearings, and the 2.0 uses different rod bearings than the 1.8, the main bearings were the same. But On 97-99and a half use same rod bearing 2.0 and 1.8. but 2000 on uses different part #. Are you sure the the rods bearings are the same?

[jrod13]

I am surprised so many of you guys are *****ing at 4 grand. That is a steal for that kit even if you have to pay for all the extra stuff. My friend just installed a 5k turbo kit on his focus and only hit 208whp on the dyno. This is why we don't have any support is because no one is willing to pay for it. Look at any other turbo kit for a different make it is going to be the same thing. I am going to be saving up for this kit over the summer. This is what I have been waiting for.

Thanks KDMguy..... You will be hearing from me.

[panter]

I looked up rod bearings, and the 2.0 uses different rod bearings than the 1.8, the main bearings were the same. But On 97-99and a half use same rod bearing 2.0 and 1.8. but 2000 on uses different part #. Are you sure the the rods bearings are the same?

i know that form my engine and year they are the same (atleast the crank bearing diameter is) but if you are going to change rods i suggest to change bearings also. Im pretty sure there is one t one fit!

[slow 2K2GT]

I was also wondering about the rods and pistons. KDMguy is this what you have in your engine for internals and what should the final CR be with this setup?

[Cypher]

yes he does and its 8:1

[slow 2K2GT]

thanks buddy!

[J-son]

Thanks for all your efforts KDMGuy, you will definatley be on my turbo list for the future. It is amazing though how Hyundai people whine about how there is no aftermaket out there for our cars. Then we get a real reasponsible and trustworthy person to get something together for us Hyundai owners and now we whine that it is too much. It can only get cheapier when others find out about us Hyundai tuning owners. If we don't spend some money with our trustworthy persons helping our community now we will never get going in the aftermarket world. We will be the red headed step child of the tuning world that no one will ever want to take a chance in. So with that off my chest, THANKS FOR YOU HARD WORK KDMGuy!!!

Cheers,
Jason

If I had the cash, I would do it..but looking at buying a house in the next little while, so the turbo has to sit on the back burner for now... unless someone wants to go 50/50 with me on a bank robbery?...grin :)
