Over decades of heat cycling, engine vibrations, and cooling system pressurization, these OEM nylon tanks embrittle, leading to micro-fractures along the upper tank seam and brittle inlet\/outlet hose necks. Additionally, internal core corrosion and sediment accumulation restrict coolant flow channels, compromising heat dissipation and risking catastrophic head gasket failure on the high-revving naturally aspirated inline-four.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Engineering Solution\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered to standard **DPI 1897** specifications, this replacement unit features a high-efficiency aluminum tube-and-fin core paired with reinforced polymer end tanks. The brazed aluminum core maximizes convective surface area to accelerate thermal transfer away from the engine block, mitigating heat soak during aggressive driving or stop-and-go traffic. Integrated with internal brass transmission cooler fittings where required, this unit provides factory-matching hose inlet\/outlet orientations and OEM-spec mounting pin locations for a drop-in installation without cutting or custom bracket fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0; font-size: 14px; margin-bottom: 20px;\"\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eFitment\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1997-2001 Hyundai Tiburon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eEngine \/ Chassis\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e1.8L Beta (G4GM) \u0026amp; 2.0L Beta (G4GF) \/ RD, RD2\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color: #f9f9f9;\"\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eStock Output\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003e130-140 hp \/ 122-133 lb-ft\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth style=\"padding:10px; text-align: left; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eReplaces OEM Part #\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:10px; border: 1px solid #e0e0e0;\"\u003eDPI 1897 \/ 25310-27000\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1997-1999 Hyundai Tiburon Base 1.8L L4 Gas (RD)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1997-2001 Hyundai Tiburon FX 2.0L L4 Gas (RD\/RD2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this fit the RD chassis Tiburon?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yes, this unit is a direct bolt-in fit for the 1997-2001 Hyundai Tiburon equipped with either the 1.8L **Beta G4GM** or 2.0L **Beta G4GF** engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this radiator accommodate automatic transmission cooling lines?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Yes, it features integrated internal brass heat exchanger fittings compatible with factory automatic transmission cooler lines or can be run plugged on manual vehicles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Hyundai Sport Compact Standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEngineered specifically for the rev-happy Beta-powered chassis, this direct-fit unit maintains strict operating thermal tolerances to ensure sustained high-RPM cooling efficiency and total track-to-street reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"VelocityMax","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50551403512056,"sku":"DS-E2LVT0WON","price":99.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/1290\/2648\/files\/radiator-for-hyundai-tiburon-1997-2001-1-8l-2-0l-1.jpg?v=1789775997","url":"https:\/\/performancechiptuning.com\/products\/radiator-for-hyundai-tiburon-1997-2001-1-8l-2-0l","provider":"Performance Chip Tuning","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
