My 98 Accent has been my baby since I graduated High School in 07. I love this car. Dad found it near the airforce base near where I grew up and got it for me. It is the 1.5 SOHC Alpha with a Eaton M-45 Roots Type Blower on it. She is quick but I want to be able to get more power. I have found a few items online thru Andysautosport and Sharkracing but not 100% sure what I can use. Will parts for the S coupe G4EK engine fit with the G4EKX out of my Accent?

 

You may want to consider a Beta swap.

 

I really don't want to do a swap. I would really like to just use the stock engine to see what I can get out of it. Then I would try and find another Accent and do the Beta swap.

 

IF you want to put money into getting the car honestly fast for a street/driver, the easiest route is a beta swap, with a turbo. It is almost no struggle at all to get 300+ reliable horsepower on a turbo Beta without even opening the engine, and 450-500 is possible without having to try anything others haven't done before.



BUT if you want to get the most out of what you've got and call it a job, start with a REALLY big high-flow air filter, a good head flow job will help a lot, and some well-designed header pipes plus a free-flowing exhaust is about what you can do for stuff that bolts on. You don't want cams with lots of overlap for boost. If you can find/have one made, a smaller supercharger pulley is also on the list for consideration. In the end, you'll be pushing it to get 200HP from an M45 and that air will be pretty hot without an intercooler.



Interesting page I found while looking up how much power an M45 can make: http://www.rbracing-rsr.com/turbotech.html (scroll down, lots of compressor maps all in one place)

 

Sounds interesting. Do you have any more details on the supercharger setup? I know CAPA made a very rare few SOHC supercharger kits, back in the day.

 

C.A.P.A in South Australia did a SOHC Excel Powerdyne centrifugal kit then replaced it with the Excel Twin Cam Eaton supercharger kit imported from South African company called Alpine Developments.

I have a complete Excel Twin Cam Eaton supercharger kit less the m45 and unichip sitting in my shed

 

Well i wouldnt even know where to start. Honestly i dont even know what a beta is or where to look for it.

 

I was going to rebuild the engine with forged internals, aftermarket cam, head. Bigger injectors, 4-2-1 header and since the belts i have are like a v-belt setup and get smaller pullys for the outer cam pully and the power steering.

 

Since your already supercharged ,more air via intake and bigger throttle body, thicker head gasket,4-1 header supposed to be better for 4 bangers etc
