My tibby needs a doctor

Hi all!

I'm from europe and I have a tiburon (coupe). Original 1.6engine was swapped with 2.0 beta with cvvt. Didnt swap it myself I bought that car like that 3+ years ago. The thing happening with it from the start is that ECU reads from wheel speed sensor 0 kmh/mph and car most of the time losses its power around 4,5 - 5k rpms. I did change that sensor few months ago and it didnt change anything, cars ECU reads 0 kmh/mph as before.

I was wonderig if anybody knows what should I check to maybe fix that problem. Could it be wiring harnes problem, or ECU problem and how to diagnose that?

Is there maybe 2 or more different types of ECU for tibbys made from 2003 onwards?

I dont want to throw parts at it and hope for the best.

Quick questions

So I had some quick questions, some weird issues I’ve been having with my 08 tiburon get that I haven’t noticed in any other cars before. First thing is that the headlights and the fog lights just went out. All at the same time so I don’t think it’s the bulbs. I tried replacing the fuse but every time I turn on the headlights, it blows the fuse. So I guess I’m asking if anyone had a similar issue and know the solution. Next is the tail light. I noticed that sometimes it takes a while to turn off after I take my foot off the brakes (sometimes up to like 30 secs). Again, this is an issue I’ve never seen before on a car so if anyone has any advice for that I’d appreciate it. Lastly is I want to know what are some good mods for it to get more performance or to make it look better. Thanks

Scammers / bots on newtiburon .com

Heads up, on https://www.newtiburon.com/ there are some scammers / bots popping up right now. I made a post on there just like on here asking if someone from the netherlands have the OEM tiburon exhaust and there's been 2 guys who've approached me in DM saying they have a buddy in my country who can get me the exhaust for 100 bucks. I've posted a reply here where I show a couple screenshots of how ridiculous these scammers are. My username there is TotallyAutistic.

They'll try and have you send money through PayPal to a vietnamese address, specifically as Friends&Family and not as Business (paypal doesn't allow refunds for Friends&Family, but they do for Business)

Beware!!!!!

Looking for a Dutch tiburon owner with an OEM Exhaust

Hello Dutch bros, currently I have an aftermarket exhaust under my tib for quite a while now, but I'd like to return to the original exhaust. Is there anyone in here who still has theirs after installing an aftermarket, or wants to trade exhausts? Please let me know!

Tiburon Swapped Engine [NEED HELP]

Hey everyone! I've been searching for a Hyundai Coupe 2005 for a while now, but it's been tough finding a good one in my country. Most of the cars with swapped 2.0 or 2.7 automatic engines have already been sold.

I recently came across a Hyundai Coupe with a swapped 1.6 automatic engine, which caught me off guard since I've never seen this setup before. Some mechanics have warned me that a 1.6 auto swap could lead to problems in the future and may even blow up unexpectedly.

I’d appreciate any advice or insights you might have about this setup. Is it worth considering, or should I keep looking for a different configuration? Thanks in advance!

Serpentine belt 2005 hyundai tiburon/Coupe 2.0 (help)

so yesterday while droving with friends in another city like 80km from home my belt started making constant squeaking noise so i decides to head home and not think too much of it. While driving on the highway i suddently see that the lights on my dashboard for my hand brake and battery were on. I pulled out od the highway the next exit and relized i didint have any power steering. When i looked under the hood i saw that my belt had been ripped apart and it was leaking little bit of some kind of liquid idk if it was coolant or something it was in the middle of the night, i tought that maybe i can still drive home and fogure it out the next day or something cause i was like 35km from home. i drove for a couple km and my gauges started goin crazy due to low battery charge i guess because my alternator didint work so i had to stop driving.

Now im wondering if its easy to change myself and if anyone has the belt routing for me so i know how to install a new one in.

Do I need the entire oem air system for the oem stock intake to work?

Hey guys I need to switch back to my oem intake only my oem intake is completely gone! So I bought a new used oem intake only problem is I have everything up until the air box then I don’t have any other oem air cleaner parts (like the resonator that is supposed to be under the battery).

These parts are next to impossible to find because I can’t find any used parts hardly and Hyundai discontinued almost all the parts that make up the air system!

And I live in Texas and I have a k&n cone after market short ram intake (the cone is attached to my oem air hose). But like all it’s doing is sucking hot air so I really want to put the air box in! Will it work well even without all the parts for the oem intake?

I hate that Hyundai discontinued alot of parts for the Tiburon but it’s inevitable! I’m just trying to make everything oem or at least oem like standard! I’m just trying to get the car back to factory really if possible if not I’ll just put the best I can on it! Just had to replace the air compressor the other day was not cheap!!!!

But one my mechanic friends told me the short ram is just sucking in hot air, so maybe putting on what I have now (air cleaner parts wise) will work better well maybe not better but it hopefully won’t be sucking in huge amounts of hot air! Please let me know guys what you think! I really need some help on this issue, cause she’s also running kinda strange at certain points and I wonder if the after market intake could be the problem?

Automatic transmission?

What's up,

It's been a hard decision between the Celica and the Tiburon (Coupe in EU) but I finally decided to get an automatic Tiburon 2.0 between 05/06/07

My main question is: Is the 05-06-07 automatic gearbox reliable? assuming it's been kept properly.

I've been browsing the internet but I couldn't find anything substantial, thanks
