Santa Fe Turbo?
Hi guys
Not really considering this right now, but has anyone done this or something
similar?
The web page is in German, but I've made a rough translation into English
below.
http://www.z-engineering.com/Kit_SantaFe.htm
The first part says that the turbo kit is for the Hyundai Santa Fe 2.7 V6
(which is what I have - smile). The original is 174 PS (is PS = break horse
power?
Sorry, I'm not so technically minded). Anyway, the kit raises the power to
some
230 PS. Nice.
The text says (excuse the bad translation - I only want to give you a rough
idea):
"The turbo compressor kit developed by Z-Engineering and rigirously tested
on the testing stand and under toughest conditions is installed onto the
original engine
with no modification to its mechanical basics. So the power boost is
acheived without such disadvantages as a reduction in the compression ratio
(I'm guessing here...).
Thanks to the unique internal labyrinth oil lubrification system, the
Z-Engineering compressor is entirely indepentdent of the oil system of the
engine, so it is not necessary to drill into the engine's lubrification
system.
This means that it is possible to sell the vehicle and its engine separately
from the
compressor module (as both are not modified by installation).
The compressor is driven by a separate belt whose driving wheel (again,
excuse
my ignorance of the correct terminology) is bolted onto the original belt
wheel.
Due to the high efficiency and the low energy loss gear system of the ZR3
compressor, the turbine rotation of 36'000 rpm already generates a pressure
of 0.4 bar (sorry, don't know what htat is in psi...) and a power surge of
some
55 PS!
Because the rotation speed is comparatively low, and the compressor has its
own separate oil system, it is not afflicted by high operating temperatures.
This also produces relatively cool compressed air compared to conventional
compressor or turbo systems, which translates into higher power gain even
without an intercooler
radiator."
The text then goes on to name the garage where you can have the kit
installed in Switzerland. It also names the price of the kit - some $ 4'500
.. Ouch...
But still - cool mod. Anyone know of anyone who has actually done this? I'd
like
to do it, but only once my warranty has run out, as this would sure as h***
void it,
I guess...
Cheers, D

Re: Santa Fe Turbo?
:-)
Yeah, well, may not actually wait that long... We only get a three-year
warranty here in Switzerland.
Thinking about it, I think I was wrong to call it a turbo - probably I
should have
translated it as a supercharger, no?

Re: Santa Fe Turbo?
For those that don't know, Alpine Developments makes a supercharger
kit for the Delta engine (the 2.7L V6 used in the Sonata, Tiburon,
Santa Fe, and Kia Optima). It will void the factory powertrain
warranty but Alpine will warranty your engine for 3 years (which is
extendable to the full 10 years).

kit for the Delta engine (the 2.7L V6 used in the Sonata, Tiburon,
