I believe its a 1.5 Excel.

Edmunds.com says the last model year excel (1994) produced 81hp - I assume at the flywheel.

That's a pretty good gain!

They still call the Accent an Excel in some parts of the world.

 

Ah, that might explain it. The engine is a DOHC. I don't know if those were ever put in an "excel" vs. the accent/excel.

But the accent has 105 hp, so that would be a loss.

 

Remember the 105hp that is said by hyundai is the crank HP. -20% (I believe) for Wheel HP. So that should be about 84Whp. Accually the Dyno shows a 9hp gain on the 1.5L DOHC. If you look at the picture closely, you can see that the Throttle bodies look like stock ones. If this were to have BBTB on it, you might be able to get a few more HP's out of it.

Another thing you can do is, goto RPW site. They have Stages for the 1.5L SOHC. Stage three, which should be about 150hp, you will have to bore out to 1.7L.

The best I heard the 1.5L will push about 130-138whp N/A. I am not sure if there is any boreing involved here or not.

Little Note: The 1.5L DOHC and 1.5L SOHC was sold here in the US from 1995-1997. 1998-2000 They only sold the 1.5L SOHC. In 2001 they introduced the 1.6L.

WTF, why go through all the trouble of getting dual throttle bodies just to use stock like rubber hoes which first of all are rubber and secondare ribbed(not fer her pleasure).

well either way i guess its a pretty trick setup, but in my personal opinion i think ifyour spending all teh money to have that trick of a setup, i would at least shell out the extra few bucks for a custom made or even a ghetto rigged intae would probably be better than that ribbedrubber setup.

just my 2 cents

I agree with the piping. Yuck. I'll probably make custom intakes on both sides or by the SR CAI for the driver side and a more generic one for the passenger side. Also, since you can't get that one into the fenderwell, a heat sheild might be benifical as well.

9 WHP is a pretty good gain. I don't know if that's in combination with other mods though. Compare that with the 3.5 WHP you get from the BTB/BIM combo - and that's on the beta. I imagine that the gains would be greater on the beta due to proportionality.

 

So you can replace them with 2, random specials.

Think about it man, 5.8 hp and 6.1 ft lbs of torque PER CAI! Just 2 RS-CAI's would give you 11.6 HP and 12.2 Ft lbs! *evil grin*

Of course..in reality...you would not get those kinds of gains out of Dual CAI's with that setup...but it's nice to dream!

 

Hey Random-

I was totally think about making 2 custom/ RS CAI's when I get this. Sharkracing is checking with RPW about getting it.

I have a question about the second CAI though. Where would you locate the filter? The first one can go in the fender well, but the other fender well has the windshield wiper fluid res. in it.

 

I'm thinking you'd have to move the Windshield wiper resivor up to where the ABS connectors normally sit, then you have room for the Filter where the resivor used to be.

Other than that, you might be able to get the filter IN FRONT of the washer resivor...but I doubt it. Also...the belts are rather close to the left side of the engine bay. There really is not much room on the left side to route the CAI tubing. It's going to be quite a task.

One of the things you should strive to do is to "balance" both TB's. If one intake pipe is signifcantly longer than the other, most of the air will flow through the shorter pipe with the least restriction. You will have to do some testing with a vaccuum kit to balance the two intakes to make sure they are equal.
